I was on an one hour flight on JJ once(SDU-CNF), while serving food one of the flight attendants spilled just a little bit of water on me and went completely nervous while getting a lecture from the other, turns out it was her first day on the job and she was really nervous altough she was doing really well(despite this one insignificant incident).

After I reassure her there was no problem we ended up talking a little bit and she was really fun to talk to and very pretty, when I was starting to get a little bit more comfortable we were about to land and left the aircraft on the front while she was in the back and I couldn't really say goodbye or get her name.

Another time on Azul CNF-BSB, traveling to visit family I sat next to a cute asian girl, we chatted the whole flight, she eventually asked me the reason I was traveling believing I lived in Brasilia and was returning home, when I told her I didn't live in Brasilia she sounded really disappointed I realized we were really hitting it off, once again I didn't even get her name because I had to run to hitch a ride and I had only carry on luggage while she had to wait for her baggage.

How should I put this...I met one of my exes on an Air Pacific flight between NAN and LAX. She and I talked for just about all of the ten hours of the flight, way back in I think it was 65 or 67 A & B. Fortunately, at that point the configuration was two seats per row.

Well, at least I got to check off two new airports when visiting her (SAN/HVN)...

I dunno. Yes if they're hot? Or just tell them you're gay to let them down easy. Tell the same-sex admirers the opposite.

Sounds like a good problem to have.

Wow, it's been a good many years since I had people flirting with me or had much desire to flirt romantically. While traveling in Asia, though, I've gotten a lot of attention for being a Westerner. Numerous times people have sat down next to me on a train and asked right away, in halting English, "Are you an American?" It turns out they're curious about the US and looking to practice their English. I generally make conversation for a while, using it as an opportunity to learn more about their culture myself as well as trying to be a good ambassador for my country while visiting theirs.

It works. Many years ago I was flying HKG-BKK in CX F, the only passenger in the cabin. The (rather older than me, female) purser decided that a young (back then) chap like myself able to fly F (not that impressive, it was not much more expensive than an already reasonable J) was just what she needed. After a while, when she was actually sitting on the arm of my seat (!) And practically heaving her bosom in my face, I resorted to telling her I was going to BKK to visit my boyfriend. She skedaddled and I never saw her again!

I used the same technique when in Singapore on the MRT and was buttonholed by some god-botherers trying to recruit me as a Mormon. I pretended to be really interested for a few minutes, and said my boyfriend and I would love to hear more. Same result. Hehehehe...

Assuming of course they don't see "trying to make you straight / alleviating you of your confusion" a bit of a challenge....

Any suggestions most welcome
