I never "hit on" anyone. Being friendly, but somewhat aloof works best! Years ago, I was in another state visiting, and their little boy, about 5, asked if I wanted to see his pet chicken. I said "Sure." He took me to the barn, and, there in a pen, was a chicken. He said "Would you like to pet my chicken"? I said "Well, sure; but, how do you pet a chicken"? he said, "You gotta act like you dont want to." Sure enough, in a few minutes, the chicken came to him, he picked it up and we both stroked it. Cats are the same way, and most women dont appreciate being "Glommed onto" either; at least the ones with an IQ over room temperature.
