This is not a kinky question nor is it intended to offend anyone. I've known different women to react differently to such situations. As a woman, do you get flattered? Angry? Offended? Uncomfortable? Why do you feel the way that you do?
(For us men it is different, as most guys would get offended or feel weird if that happened. I'd like to understand and know if women feel the same way, or not.)

Usually very uncomfortable and weirded out - also just like with a guy I'm not attracted to, worried about hurting her feelings and how to reject her most tactfully.

I've never been in an actual relationship w/ another woman, but I am open to it. And like when a woman is overly nice or smiles linger, I panic because its so unnatural for a woman (generally speaking) to be so kind to another woman. Then later I think "OH maybe she was flirting with me."
For me its uncomfortable in a good way, the unknown. Not knowing what to do hold the appeal, as I have already mastered the art of men ;) So yeah, very flattering, but only if she is feminine and pretty, not those butch like lesbians.

I get extremely uncomfortable. I suppose because I feel I may be sending out the message that I'm interested in her also. I don't want to be misunderstood about anything sexual - it's weird because gay men don't bother me at all but gay women I find disgusting and perverted. I think they can't possibly share a real "love" like a man and woman can so it's just got to be the whole kinky sex thing....Maybe I'm weird? I'll be interested to see what others say....
These girls that are answering and saying they would be flattered are thinking that's the answer you are looking for! I bet in a real situation they would be creeped out!

I think it is a good thing that another women finds you attractive because it in a way shows that she wants to be like you. I would be flattered if a women found me attractive. I am not gay or do I want to have a relationship with a women but it is just my view that women should find other women attractive.

I'm comfortable in my heterosexuality, and I am comfortable around homosexuals, so I am flattered. It happened to me once. Being attracted to someone is not the same as acting on that attraction. THAT would be uncomfortable.

Oh that's happened to me three times. :-) The first time took me by surprize, I was still in high school and a girl who i hung out with in school asked me to come study with her while she was babysitting. She made a pass at me, when i regained my composure, I just told her that I was straight. We remained friends til her family moved away.
The second time was, oddly, when i was vacationing with my family. I hung out with a group of other kids who were also vacationing with their parents. We all hung out at this one place where kids hung out together. One day i was sunning with my eyes closed, all of a sudden I felt a kiss. :o The girl giggled and said she just felt like it. Then she asked me I was bi or gay, and of course I told her I was straight.
The third time was in university. I saw this girl who always stared at me, when I looked she'd smile and i'd smile back. Then she began making a point of sitting with me. We'd talk and laugh, she let me know she was a lesbian, i let her know i was straight. But she continued flirting. However, we didn't take the same classes after that.
Yeah, i'd say it was flattering. I didn't freak out or anything, i remained friends with them. I did "kind of" get a crush on the third girl, it wasn't anything like sexual feelings or anything, just a crush... I looked forward to seeing her, she watched me alot. So anyways, I didn't know what to do about it, so i let it slide. We ran in to each other on the street once after that semester, and we just excitedly hugged, laughed, caught up, but nothing else. I never saw either of them again.
Other than that, I am close friends with gays, lesbians, and straight people. It's all good. :-)
