It’s came to my attention that I’ve actually never been pulled on a night out, is this still a thing or is it all down to online now, every person I’ve been with has either been a pal setting us up or chatted online (whether it be Facebook or bebo n that back in the day lol)
Maybe I’m just too awkward or an actual dog  lol |

I've both pulled and been pulled over the years. I used to enjoy the challenge (still do), and even failing was fun and a learning experience. Online is no substitute for that tactile, and pleasantly awkward, test of confidence - I'll never win awards for most handsome, but I excel at face to face and often found a match when my attractive friends didn't.
A successful real-world pull is a major boost compared to the Fab/dating site meat markets where people talk the talk  |

Really? This surprises me. I often equate people on here as being more confident (sexually or otherwise) than your average non-Fabber. Maybe the opposite is true? 
Need more input! |

It's very easy to be confident behind a screen. Not so much outside in the world with actual people.

"I’ll read all the posts in a minute but the company called COOK have an article about how to meet people
The author used to work for an online dating agency "
The irony of an online dating site worker writing about meeting people is delicious. |

I find it weird (to use your expression) both you and Sinderella have not experienced as outlandish said a “face to face” spark (apologies if I’ve misunderstood ladies), you both look and sound like amazing ladies. I’m very average but happy to say I’ve had above average experience of “the spark” (I may write a book one day  ) |

Used to find it easy to "pull" a guy for a threesome on a night out but it's practically impossible outside of Fab these days.
Am I just a haggard old woman these days or is it all online now?? Hopefully the latter
I like the natural spark you get on a night out...chemistry!  |

That's remarkably brave if you think about it. I consider myself to be a very confident person, but I'm still fully clothed in my pics (well my public pics)! |

Back in the days before internet/social media almost everyone met face to face on a night out or whatever. If I were single I would still meet that way. Times have evolved and it’s more the norm to meet on-line I guess. |

I meant that I agree in a hard fashion. A firm agree, if you like
Wait, did I just pull? |

Would you like to be "pulled"?
How would you react if a guy tried? |

They probably tried and it went unnoticed
I love old fashioned "pulling". Nothing more fun than flirting from opposite ends of the bar wondering who'll come over first x |

Sometimes ppl don't notice that the other person is trying to pull them. Depends on how obvious they're being. I've pulled and been pulled in the past and I've always found it good fun. My longest relationship ended up starting from me pulling her! |

Well if anyone *would* like their date virginity popped some time, drop me a wee message for a social. Just good chat and gentlemanly conduct assured (even if you are on the wrong side of the Clyde). |

Meet my first (scottish) longterm relationship back in the days in a Disco (early2000...) but nowadays you might be branded a sexoffender by just making a charming comment about someone looking good (sexy) and with political correctness going overboard its defo morecdifficult out in the real world... x |

The girls I've pulled have just turned out to be easy targets when they're d*unk  But nowadays, women are much more standoff-ish. So i don't bother too much.
I find it much more natural for situations to create a spark... (Eg. Ending up chatting and exchanging numbers with a girl on the make up counter in John Lewis when accompanying a friend shopping..)..
I've been on several blind dates though. Makes for good experiences |

I'm a year younger than you and have been on the "pull" and been "pulled" in clubs when in my late teens / early twenties. I used tinder etc too, but it still happens in real life. Think it just depends on the type of circles you run in and how much you go out in clubs etc.
Can't say it ever resulted in many dates / relationships but then again, neither do apps (normally). They are all just different ways to meet people, casually or otherwise.
I think swinging clubs often feel like you're on the pull. People walk up to each other and chat with the aim of getting into bed.. just with more than the two of you

You can't beat that and even the best flirty online conversation doesn't come close. Catching someone's eye across a bar (no....it wasn't a glass one, smart arses...) knowing they're watching you as you walk across the room. Approaching and asking for a dance, standing in close to hear one another above the music, feeling a gentle hand on the waist.....pulling and flirting in real life. Cannae beat it! |

I thought I was getting past it, but I swear my pulse went a tiny bit faster after that post. (Glass eye aside. In a glass.) |

I can feign unconsciousness quite easily (I’m a talented actor). Just need to make sure your the most trained First Aider on hand. Knowing my luck it’ll be David hasslehoff. |

Spent many years in nightclubs and pubs "pulling". Last went out out about five years ago and did indeed manage to pull that night... . But yes it is far easier these days to tinder and POF etc... Although in old enough to be most of the girls dad! |

I much prefer meeting people and chatting in the real world as opposed to online, fab, pof, tinder, which ever app you use. Chatting a girl up, or being chatted up in person is much more exciting, and if I'm honest. Much easier.. but that's because I'm a handsome fucker, And funny as fuck too.. It's very hard to put accross that little dimple you have when you smile. your funny laugh. Your sexy voice, The cheeky glint in your eye or your sarcastic sence of humour when you're typing on a phone. All the things that make you different is what what makes you unique. And typing on a phone screen, Everyone is just the same. All just reading words off a screen and not hearing how those words were put across. |

Me: sidles up to target
Her: *glowers*
Me: smiles and starts jumping on the spot
Her: *glower intensifies*
Me: *jumps up and down*
Her : "What the actual fuck are you doing?"
Me: *a little out of breath* "I'm a penguin."
Her: "And?"
Me: *best sexy grin* "I'm trying to break the ice."
Her: *instantly wet*
You're welcome |

"Yeh well I wouldn’t know lol, it’s never happened before lol x"
I'd say it's how society has changed now compared to back in the day when social media & websites like these were not available. People find it easier now doing things online.
It would maybe also help you on here if your profile was actually visible? x |

Pulling on a night out seems to be a dying art haha. Used to happen but not so much these days but that's probably cos I'm getting older . The 30s above are shafted these days, but not the way they're expecting lol |

why would the profile being online have anything to do with being on the pull? |
