The opposite gender? Yeah, couple of times that I'm aware of. I was flattered.
Had it with the same gender a couple of times as well. I was flattered and tried to inform them gently and nonconfrontationally that I don't swing that way. Only one of them pressed the issue but it was dealt with easily enough.

Yes. I get flattered though. My gay friend said gay guys are more interested in looks and are more shallow so it made me feel good about that. i doubt my friend is right about that, however.

Yes, twice with good friends who didn't know each other, but they knew I was already married and didn't press further.

I’ve been hit on by gay men several times and many times didn’t realize it. I usually express that I’m flattered, but it wouldn’t do anything for me. Thank you anyway. Only once has this approach not work. At my cousin’s wedding, the brides sister’s husband kept hitting on me and wouldn’t let up. He kept grabbing me and I had to push him away and he fell backwards onto the ground. He finally let up, but my sister was in shock and everyone found out about it. The next day, he just said it was the alcohol and he was just being friendly, but did apologize for it.

Several times has a gay guy come up to me and professed they have a crush on me. While flattering, I had to put them down gently.

Hmmm.... nope. I've never had a woman hit on me.

However, I do have a Bisexual friend, and its pretty funny because, he'll hit on me one moment and tell me how attractive I am and anyone would be lucky to have me, but he is also obsessed with the same guy I am, so we can also share in that and discuss how hot he is, lmao. We have this crush in common but its cool that he would also wanna date me too. Too bad he does not live close.

When I was younger, yes, and I didn't react well, I was immature.

Nowdays, I would just be flattered if someone did, i'm very pro - gay and lesbian. I wish everyone was gay.

I've hit on men before, however I get straighter as I get older it seems...

In fact for me it was more curiosity, with pretty much no passion, as opposed to the obsessive, over-passionate feelings I can get for a woman.

While I was on this journey, I had one or two guys that were very attracted to me, I had to explain to them I'm not gay I just don't have a clue and had to know what it was like.

I found they were very understanding of this.

So I guess I shouldn't be posting, most call me bisexual, however I would nowdays and for the rest of my life consider myself straight.

Yes, it's happened to me. I told them in as nice a manner as I could that, while I was flattered, I don't swing that way. After that, I've become great friends with both bisexual and gay men who respect my sexual orientation. :)

I've been hit on by more gay guys than straight ladies.
I don't know why. I think it's a bit weird... 8O
