Is it normal to hate getting hit on?

I'm single and would like a boyfriend, but I get angry and kind of offended when guys hit on me (I'm a girl by the way). Instead of thinking, oh here's a possibility, I think get away from me! It's not that they're rude about it (although sometimes they are) or that I'm not interested in them (although sometimes I'm not) but I just get really upset about it. Like one of my friends let me know that he liked me and I cried about it. That's not normal is it..?

    I know what you are saying. I too hate it when guys are hitting on me. I feel harassed. I would not date a guy that hits on me the first time they see me because they would only be interested in my physical appearance. plus most of that type of guys are perverted.

      But is it bad if people are "perverted"? Is it a total turn off?

    woman are biologically programmed to have children...this means that they need a strong secure mate to help and protect them and their baby during the time of childbirth and the young life of a child...so at least 10-12 years...this means that they need a man to prove to them thst he is in it for the long haul...women need men to prove that they are really serious about them and the first way they do this is by being not mean but they act in a way that will scare off anyone not really serious...not really willing to put in the time and effort to love and care about them and their unborn child.....so by acting this way you are doing that...it is your nature to scare away the less then serious...but the guy who keeps coming back...if he has those other qualities
    may be worth a shot

    and @ beanpaste...you have NEVER been hit on your ENTIRE life? I find that really hard to believe unless you are very young and even then someone would still flirt with you...I can see it rarely happening..but NEVER...doesnt sound right...whats that about?

    Somehow you've been programmed to think that men approaching women is a bad thing. Its not. We are human. If you're into someone you should be able to let them know and vice versa. Reprogram.

    It's perfectly okay. Maybe you just haven't met that person you want to be in a relationship with yet. Or maybe you're into those shy, pure-hearted guys who want to get to know a girl better before "hitting on her"?

    I hate it when guys hit on me too. But then again, I don't like most of the guys that hit on me, and I'm definitely not ready for a relationship...

    I wouldn't really say its normal. I'm not a female but I certainly know that not everyone even gets hit on so while some people go "Oh great, its some pathetic guy again" or "Why won't they go away! =/", someone else is wishing they got that attention at all, ever. Try not to take attention for granted. I do see one side of it though, a person might feel that a guy who gives such direct compliments right away may be looking for the wrong things but I think being direct shows guts. Even as a guy though, I feel pretty darn great during the rare times I get a compliment, why not just appreciate it? It boosts self esteem and you don't have to date who hits on you, just say thanks and proceed to feel good about yourself.

    Crying about someone who likes you though, the only acceptable tears would be tears of joy.

    You're not ready for a relationship. Which frustrates you, so you take it out on every guy that tries to hit on you? That's what I think might be the problem.

    You are just over dramatizing it. Possibly for attention (ideally a 'boyfriend's attention required)
    Stop being a barbie queen and come down a few levels. These guys are > normal ;)

    What's the guy say that offends you? "I saw you from behind the bananas and I just had to tell you...I thought you looked really nice."

      "Hitting on you" can imply many things...such as butt pinching or whistling... Can you imagine how degrading that is?

    For someone's who has never been hit on her entire life, I don't feel your pain. But it sure sounds like an annoying occurrence.

    I think we should get together and discuss it over a nice dinner...

    Err... No it's not normal you cried about that. Nor is it normal that you don't like males approaching you. How exactly were you planning on starting a relationship, if you wanted one? Would you prefer approaching them?
