Guys, what exactly does it take to make you think your female friend is into you? (Page 2)

[Danny_dan92]

Typically, in my experience when girls try very hard to get a man’s attention even if the topic or method of communication isn’t flirty, it’s because she likes him.

[In_Trance]

In the minds of the majority of men an open line of communication means the possibility of future sex

[Asker]

So we're doomed, basically? Fantastic. There's nothing like creepy friends with ulterior motives xD

[Shy_Steve]

Just try touching him more, I think that's best other than just telling him, But you can eventually tell him anyway.

[Asker]

As someone who comes from a family and a friend group where physical touch is normalized and a love language, that is very interesting to me. Like, I think there were even peer-reviewed studies in the recent years that out of all the genders, men were the most touch-starved. Since women are more comfortable with offering affectionate touches to their friends, on a purely platonic level, that might be a reason why guys dwell more on it.

[Shy_Steve]

Well us Guys usually never get touched by Women so of course we starve for it.

You Girls aren't called Weird or Creepy if you touch the opposite Sex, But us Guys are even if it's just on the Shoulder or something so just go ahead and touch him.

[Asker]

I suppose that Is because females usually aren't known to touch their friends with a sexual intention whereas, from other responses here, guy seem to relate physical contact of any kind with exactly that. And hence, society thinks the same. I think it's a vicious cycle.

[Shy_Steve]

It's only a Vicious for us Guys so you'll be fine.

[Shy_Steve]

It's only a Vicious cycle for us Guys so you'll be fine.

If she makes a move especially when alcohol is involved

[Asker]

Huh, interesting. In a "she's more honest about her emotions now" kinda way? I once saw a drunk friend making out with a lamp post and bawling his eyes out when we dragged him home, so assuming someone likes you when they're under the influence of any substance is probably not the best indicator.

[Alex8736]

Then again the truth tends to slip out sometimes which normally wouldn't be said or done sober

[Md1964]

We are not the brightest sometimes, you have to tell us. Some guys are terrified for there jobs if they get it wrong and end up with sexual harassment allegations.

[EaterPeter]

It takes many clues. As guys most of us are as dumb as they can get when it comes to clues for women.

[EaterPeter]

From women. * Some coaches suggest to do any thing thrice

[BobLouis]

You take me out on a coffee.

[BobLouis]

Coffee date*

[Asker]

I suppose if it's labeled a 'coffee date' there's a clear intention behind it. But would you say that just having coffee with a guy to hang out classifies as a coffee date, without making it clear in advance? Just asking for clarification, English isn't my first language and I'm unsure how the term 'coffee date' is treated (date as in romantic date or as in appointment, meeting up, hanging out)

[Grovermint]

Don't flirt or even give me a hug.

[Asker]

Okay, but what would you consider "flirting", just to clarify that?

[Twalli]

Don't be friends with them and actively avoid them

[Hardworkingguy]

Well the best way is if she just tells you
