I admit it, I’m a child of the '60s, and when I’m attracted to someone the phrase I use is “turned on.” But I’ve just been made aware that “turned on” is as ancient as “23 skidoo.” So what is today’s jargon for being attracted to someone?
(I’d ask the people I know IRL, but it’s kinda embarrassing to admit to being so unhip.)
I think that turned on is still an appropriate term, but more for a state of sexual arousal. In the 60’s it also meant buzzed or enlightened, didn’t it?
My MIL refers to feeling drunk as being “high.” As in, “we were so high the other night that I went straight home and fell asleep.” We tell her that this means something entirely different, but she doesn’t listen.
She’s a child of the '60s, too! You’d think she’d know!
To the OP, I rather like “fancy.” As in, “I fancy that cute new guy.”
If I was attracted to someone I’d say I like them. I might also say I was turned on if I was aroused. I would say someone is hot too, from time to time. Sexy works well too.
