Xper 6 Age: 29+1 yIsn't attraction and interest the same thing? IF you're attracted your not interested? or vice versa?

Well sometimes I can be attracted to someone but not want a relationship with them because of their personality.

Oh I see what you're saying now

Yah :P So is there a way to tell them apart?
- +1 y
It's hard to tell honestly cause me and this girl had a long ass staring contest kind of when I wanted to have the balls to say something to her in the hallway to get to know her, and I didn't get to say it, so maybe it's just attraction I think not interest :/ cause she never talked to me.
- Asker+1 y
And you didn't go up to her? Why!!! :O Lol, that's like the biggest cue a girl can give. Or are you saying you just weren't interested enough?
- +1 y
No I'm saying that I don't think she was interested cause days after she was back hanging with this guy I haven't seen in a while came to school , but I just remembered that back she was always hanging around him, they aren't boyfriend girlfriend, they just friends but I felt like he would also be a threat lol. I was very much interested in her, In fact I really liked her
- Asker+1 y
Ahh I see. I think you should have came up to her anyway. But I understand now where you were going with it. Even if I was just attracted to a guy I probably would involve so much eye contact if there was no interest. But that's just me I guess
- +1 y
Yeah, and also I was thinking about all the other times I've "gotten played" when going up to a girl I like turns out to be a public embarrassment where the person for example laughs at me even liking them, wish things could've been different :o
- Asker+1 y
That's always so hard to deal with :( Maybe if you be subtle or throw out hints beforehand so they aren't so shocked

Haha you're right, thank you for your insight :)

It means nothing. People look around that's what they do. Maybe you remind them of someone? Maybe you've got a mustard stain on your blouse? Maybe they just find you really strange looking? Maybe they're looking at the TV on the wall behind you? It can be a billion different things, but looking at you because they like you is the least possibility. If we see a person that we like we will not look at them.
013 Reply- Asker+1 y
That's the strangest thing I've ever heard from a man lmao. "If we see a person that we like we will not look at them". Seriously? That's impossible. Humans are drawn to look at what they desire or are attracted to. Either you've never seen a beautiful girl or are really shy lol. And even so, if you're shy you still look at who you like. But I am definitely sure he was looking at me because I was the only range in his focus. But sure it might mean nothing at all. Which is why I asked. But thanks for your opinion
- +1 y
Nothing really strange about it, you yourself know people look around at things for all sorts of reasons. Yes, a person will look at someone whom they find attractive. What I'm saying is people don't like getting caught looking. So, it's actually rare for someone to look at the person they like because that risk them getting caught. As a habit I don't look at anyone and in the rare instances I do get caught looking I don't look back again. Now, if I'm talking with someone I'll look them in the eyes, it's just good manners to let the person your speaking with see they've got your undivided attention. O' I might still think their attractive but they can't read my mind.
- Asker+1 y
I completely agree. Not all people get caught looking, especially shy people. But there are guys who will want you to know they are interested or might be testing out what you do with your expression by just looking at you. It may be that you are shy lol, and fearful at looking back because you don't know how they feel by you doing so? And I agree with the talking part and I wish we could mind read lol
- +1 y
Yes, I am shy... But not so shy as you might think. Yes as a general rule if I get caught looking I won't look back. However, there are times even I can't fight the urge to look at someone, I'm not Superman you know, LOL. In those rare instances once in a blue moon thing I will look but I do so with the aim of getting caught. Then I'll see if I can get caught doing it again. Usually be the 2nd or 3rd time I figure the girl has to know right? One of few things happen after that, either there'll be a hint she's not cool with it and she'll become aloof. or she might look more? I kind of get confused from there on out especially when they don't smile, they just look.
- Asker+1 y
Haha, I wouldn't know if you've only looked at me a few times honestly. Even if you kept looking at me I wouldn't know :P I'd need you to actually approach me for me to know for sure. And I guess I'm different a little because I love looking at people I find attractive (not creepily or staring them down) but like looking at them often lol. If they keep looking back at you it's usually a good sign. Even if they don't smile. Usually they will smile if they are confident of they really get the hint you are attracted to them tol
- +1 y
LOL, if they smile then I'd probably have a better indication but none ever do. But then you've got this mirroring thing which I had not ever really thought about much. If you looking and got your poker face on then she's going to wear one too. So, your back to square one of not knowing what she's thinking. I've tried very hard to break this habit of the poker face thing. I think it's cost me a many good chances I might have otherwise had.
- Asker+1 y
True. I personally am a bit too shy to smile, especially if I'm unsure there is any attraction going on from his side. Mirroring is so funny, I notice myself doing it so much and then when its conscious it feels awkward; and especially if you notice them doing it too lol! I guess it could be that, because if you don't show any expression it kinda makes us confused
- +1 y
Yes, it does feel awkward when you realize you're mimicking someone else's mannerisms. Why would you think there is no attraction going on if he's looking at you? Or if he's speaking to you and looking you in the eyes and he seems to be excited and pleased he's conversing with you? How is a guy looking at you with very little emotion to no emotion to his face confuse you? He's looking isn't he? He could just as easily be staring out the window at cars going by. I mean if you see him smiling with other people then you know he smiles. But when he looks at you and doesn't then he's got to be intensely focused on trying to figure out if you like him back, right?
- Asker+1 y
Well he will look at me, directly sometimes without averting his gaze as if he's trying to see how I react. And within an hour we were in the same place and he looked at me and kept gazing over 10 times. So I don't know, would that be interest? Or maybe he just thinks I'm weird or something I don't know lol
- +1 y
My gut feeling and I want you to prepare yourself in case I'm mistaken. I say he likes you and I base that entirely on if it were me doing the looking. I'm not going to keep looking at some girl I have no interest in. But I will keep looking if I am and just hoping for a hint to slip through that tells me she likes me. Gazing just isn't going to do it, I need that something extra whatever it is. I think he's looking for the same.
- Asker+1 y
What kind of sign would you expect; or what kind of sign will make you really know for sure? Because for me that's always an issue of making guys know it. I don't know how to but in my mind it seems like I've thrown it directly in his face to the point where how can he not know lol, if you know what I mean. I can't just wave a sign saying I'm interest come over here hahah. And I also want to give him the opportunity to approach me himself, so I'm not being too forward given the case that he could be thinking anything and might not even be interested :P
- +1 y
I wished I had an answer for you on that but I can't think of anything but a cheesy wink. And that might freaking him out and you'd feel dumb doing it too. So, I don't really know how you'd get him to wake up. I like the idea that you want him to do the asking, and I think he not only wants to but he also needs to know he did the asking. Mostly I say draw him into a conversation however you need to do it, I think if you can keep him talking he'll say it. he just needs that little shove in that direction.
- Asker+1 y
Haha I can't wink for nothin' He might think I'm twitching or something lmao. But thank you for that! I will definitely try doing so!! :)
I think it's a sign of weirdness and bad manners in the other person.

How so? Isn't it only natural to stare at what we find interesting or attractive? Of course not in a creepy manner but in a normal manner. Do you look at girls?
- Asker+1 y
By stare I mean glancing often
