Is it normal that I feel extra flattered being hit on by another race?

Ha. I'm middle eastern and am now wondering if I can hurl down enough compliments at you that you'd hyperventilate and faint.

I think you've answered your own question well enough. Not only if it's normal or not (which it is) but why you may feel this way. Usually people who grow up in rural areas end up being the opposite though, but hey, whatever works for you.
