Hehe, great thread. About time I add some of my own experiences.
This one's not really a come-on I missed, but I thought it fun to share.
I was 6-ish. There were these two sisters who were a little older in my neighbourhood who always wanted to see your pecker. One afternoon they came to play at our house. The elder (and hotter) sister and I went to play in my room. We were going to play doctor and she was going to be the patient. I closed the drapes, turned on the lights and she dropped all her clothes and laid down on my bed. I then proceeded to inspect
all her orifices, take her temperature etc. Until my mother came into the room and put an end to that.
I sometimes think back to those days and wonder why I can't be as direct and unabashed with women anymore. At that time we didn't have any real sexual feelings, though it did feel exciting and forbidden for the both of us.
Obvious come-ons then.
I was 16. There was this gorgeous 14-year old girl in my neighbourhood who I was close friends with. I had always been secretly in love with her. Despite that, I never made a move while she always made it easy for me (in hindsight).
Most obvious one: she invited me to dinner on a summer evening, because her parents were going to be out for a few days. I ring at the door, after a long while she opens. In her bikini. She looked absolutely gorgeous. She told me she had been catching a tan in the back yard. Only, the sun had disappeared behing the houses an hour ago already.
That evening, as we cooked together, she fed me stuff. After dinner, as we watched TV on the couch, she tried to snuggle up. As the evening progressed, we moved to her room where we played Tetris. All the while I had lots and lots of opportunities to make a move. And I didn't. Then my parents called for me to get home. She was the one answering the phone.
As I walked home I realized I had been waiting for her to give me clear signals that she was into me, while she had been doing so all night. I hated myself for being such a damn chump. (Thinking back, I still do.
). The funny thing is, she tried on lots more occasions after that but because I was too chicken to act, I began avoiding her... *cough*
I was 25. There was this waif in my class at University that I had the hots for. A quiet type on the outside, but some of the guys secretly joked that she'd eat you alive if she could. One afternoon. after class, we had a few Belgian beers with some other classmates. We all got a little tipsy and the waif wondered if she'd make it back home. Spotting an opportunity to be alone with her, I offered to walk her to her place. She kindly accepted and so I did.
At her place, she made coffee for us to sober up a little. We small talked on the couch, she tried to sit close to me. After the coffee, I got up to go home for dinner (I was still living with my parents). She said: "Oh, that's alright. You don't have to go. I want to make you someting to eat if you like." As she said that, she stood very close to me, looked up at me with a typical deer-in-headlights look that said "kiss me". I looked her in the eyes, my d*ck stiffening in my trousers, and overwhelmed as I was, I chickened out and said: "Nah, it's okay. I really should go". And left.
Only when I was on my way to the nearby train station it really dawned on me what I had just turned down. Suffice it to say I felt quite stupid for a long time and that's understating it.
*sigh* The lack of an upbringing that teaches you to be a man and to just go for it... never for my children.
I was 28. I was visiting my 90+ aunt at the elderly home in another city with my brother. Walking through the hallway on our way out, there's this nurse that smiles at me and says: "Leaving already?" I told her we had a long trip back home, so yeah.
Somehow we got into a little bit of conversation about the city we were in, places to go, things to do, how nice the people were. She suddenly asks me why I don't go out tonight to see for myself. I reply that I have no place to stay. She then suggested I used the room they keep in the elderly home for guest to spend the night. Having my mind set on going home and not looking forward to spending the night in a strange room in a elderly home, I thanked her for the offer and made my excuse to be on my way.
As we walk down the steps my brother says to me: "Did you not get it?"
I really didn't, but maybe that's because I wasn't attracted to her.
