Have your heard of Like-A-Little? A flirting site that has launched a while ago and just recently opened up for McMaster students. Users have started talking about it in the MI forums.

Check it out here: http://likealittle.com/mcmaster/

What is it? Well basically an anonymous Twitter for college/university students to post when and where they see someone they think is attractive and they like. The service has a stream showing the latest posts at McMaster in certain locations and people saying they like others wearing certain clothing.

So if you walk into an area of campus and see someone you like but don't know their name and are too shy to say hi, post on LikeALittle. The funniest part is reading others who are posting on the site. Check it out at night when people start posting from Mills

When Term 2 starts and the bar opens up again, I imagine 2nd floor Mills is going to be a better place to pick up women than 1280

This site has wasted (read: improved) so much of my studying time.

i can see the purpose but this i jsut gona be full of creepy pedos

It's time to get my imagination running.

Okay, so excuse my being behind in all these up-to-date things. But is this a new way to get people to sit on the internet all day and commenting about attractive people they see instead of actually going up to talk to that person, make a new friend or even ask them out?

What has the world come to?

PS- I find it just a tad creepy, is that weird..?

Nah, it's not too weird. Unfortunately, (and coming from someone who knows what creepy means all too well), it's considered even creepier just to walk up to a stranger and say "hi".

Which is odd since I don't think most people would mind, and even welcome an approach from a stranger.

True, but there's a lot of people who actually don't mind being talked to. I can see why going up to someone and randomly saying hi can be a problem, but you can strike up a random conversation on an actual topic (e.g. a compliment). I've started conversations like that, and have seen others do it, and it works fine- not creepy at all.

Bullshit. This is the future. In fact I see it coming to your mobile phone very shortly. You will all be wired into the network for nearby people and those who express interest can then talk to eachother offline. Solves the guessing game when it comes to physical attraction (or even voice attraction if you manage to overhear their voice).

the fact u are lurking in a library and just posting it on then perhaps that person might see it and look around to see who is looking at them.. god just grow a pair and walk up

Yeah, grow a pair and walk to the store and buy your stuff and bring it back. It's called the internet, it makes things easier.

P.S. I am referring to mail order/internet ordering.

There's no real social aspect to buying things, but anonymousness in this pseudo-precursor to dating is silly. You're not actually getting anywhere, especially if you don't supply any information about yourself. The only way you'll get anywhere is if the other person views that site too?

I'd like somebody on there to go: "Hey, thats me! Why don't you come over and talk to me?"
I wonder if anyone's done that

The trolls do that on the site excessively, but the actual people, I don't believe so.

Yeah that's what I'm talking about. When everyone has a smart phone with this application it will be simple.

"Hey, (description) I think you're cute."
"Hi, I think you're cute too."

etc.

Then approach.
