I have not.
In 16 years of marriage, I have had a few unappealing men hit on me, and I've had a few flirtatious conversations, but I would never go so far as to say I've had an opportunity to sleep with a man that I would sleep with if I weren't married. It simply has never happened.
I don't know if this is a looks thing or an opportunity thing. I am a homebody who mostly socializes around church events, so that could be it. But I think I'm pretty attractive or at least cute. You would think in 16 years something would have happened!

I think most strange men, even outside of church, respect marriage. I imagine propositions only happen long after some form of intimacy is already there. Coworkers, exes, someone who has some level of familiarity with you and thinks they can get away with it. Or isn’t thinking at all, even.

So you don't even need to be propositioned for it to count as a proposition. Flirting is sufficient?
