This is not a kinky question nor is it intended to offend anyone (but merely for a sociology project). 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.
(I've reposted this question hoping to get additional insight. Thanks in advance for your answers.)

Always flattered; it's nice to know that someone finds me attractive, regardless of gender. Just because someone is attracted to me it doesn't mean anyone has to act on it, just like I don't feel the need to hook up with every guy who comes on to me.

I feel flattered at first, but when they start making moves on me I do feel very uncomfortable. I can't stop a woman from looking but please, no touching in a sexual manner! I don't get it, they know that I don't swing that way so why do they even try? It's the same with gay guys, why do they sometimes hit on straight men? I guess it's just for fun!
I've been in this kind of situation before and I don't hate lesbians (hate the sin not the sinner). They are a part of our society and I don't think shunning them would help. I just hate it when they start making sexual moves on straight women. It's as disrespectful as when a man sexually harasses a woman.

i feel flattered, i think it means a lot more for a woman to say im attractive than a guy. Just because women are more critical and also they notice more things about eachother than men do. I mean im not talking about all guys, but most men, well we all know what two body parts men look at first most of the time! Women look all over and for them to say you are attractive, well its just way more flattering than to hear a guy tell you specially if you see him checking out EVERY girl who walks by

i've got not been in an relatively relationship w/ yet another female, yet i'm open to it. and prefer while a woman is overly outstanding or smiles linger, I panic because of the fact its so unnatural for a girl (generally speaking) to be so kind to a distinctive female. Then later i think of "OH perhaps she replaced into flirting with me." For me its uncomfortable in a sturdy way, the unknown. no longer understanding what to do carry the allure, as I relatively have already mastered the paintings of adult men ;) So yeah, very flattering, yet on condition that she is female and particularly, no longer those butch like lesbians.

Flattered, but I make sure to be clear that I'm not interested. I grew up with gays and lesbians around, so it's not a big deal.
Now, if a girl kept coming after me even after I let her know that I wasn't interested, it would be different. I'd be pretty uncomfortable.

When I found out my best friend was attracted to me, I wasn't that bothered. In fact, we've been a couple since June 2004.
If another woman was attracted to me and I was in a relationship, I'd feel uncomfortable (Not wanting to cheat on g/f).
If I was single however, I'd be flattered. (Don't know why for that one!)

I would feel flattered that the person thought I was attractive. Other than that I would feel nothing. I'm not homophobic, and I'm not waiting for my chance to have a bisexual experience as a lot of porn would have you believe.

Flattered. I am a straight, married woman w/ 2 children...but it is flattering when a man or woman thinks of you as being attractive.

I feel totally uncomfortable - makes my skin 'crawl'. One of my friends only told me last year she is lesbian. She's a good person, and that is fine, but her partner once told me she thinks I'm beautiful, and that really makes me feel uncomfortable around her. I wouldn't choose to make friends with lesbians.

I feel flattered and really ego boosted, but I'm hetero, so I just ease out of the conversation as to not hurt their feelings.
