Does a woman admitting she likes you and giving you attention, make you more likely to fall for her?

Most of the time women are indirect about their feelings which creates a lot of guesswork for men. They worry about coming of as too easy and giving “their power away”.

To a limited extent it’s understandable. She doesn’t want to give it away to fast and have a guy just use her (pump and dump).

But on the flip side men (especially young and inexperienced men) have little idea of where most women stand with them. On top of that fewer men are approaching women nowadays thanks to all the #metoo bullshit that went down in recent years. Sure the hype of that bs has worn off but it had some long lasting negative impacts on thoughtful guys.

So a woman just smiling at a guy, asking him if he would like to hang out and laughing at his jokes (even if he’s isn’t funny) is usually good enough for most guys. And if he’s shy it’s okay to say “he so and so I like you” (make eye contact when you say that).

But just a heads up you will occasionally get rejected my guys and that’s okay. It doesn’t make you pathetic or ugly. It’s just how it is.

Look, I don’t get why people say “oh I don’t want to look desperate” and stuff like that. Showing interest, that is genuine interest in somebody if they are interested as well that just makes attraction go up. Playing stupid games including, but not limited to hot & cold, hard to get, etc. More times then not sends the message you’re not interested or are playing games. Fastest way to get someone to loose interest and then the person who played those games wonders what happened. Why isn’t he (or she for boys) showing interest anymore.

It’s a possibility that someone just isn’t interested though, but showing interest can peak someone’s interest as well you never know. It’s why it’s best to be direct don’t waste your time. The fear of rejection is scary and it’s always a possibility but if that happens you have closure and aren’t wasting your time anymore on this person.

Most people want companionship and a genuine connection. There are others who not so much

I’ve witnessed if the guy is at all attracted and at least somewhat open to dating, it helps a lot. If he’s unstable or just wants games, it won’t work.

There are a lot of there’s ‘don’t want to be a member of any club they will have them.’ Esp in their twenties. Pls Do not let rejection deter your honesty…

Most people aren’t interested in most people but if someone IS interested, worst you can do is play games.

The guys have always just looked grossed pur and start either avoiding me or being really mean😂 And im talking about all the from elementary school to all the way now in my mid 20s where i go for muuuucchh older men now. Its all the same. They run for the hills.

I picked yes it does.

I know feminism has taught modern women to be argumentative, combative, and as annoying as possible... but maybe don't do that, maybe, just maybe?

I'm just saying that being kind and attentive are qualities that have made females more attractive for thousands of years... That's not getting flipped off like a light switch just because 4th wave feminism showed up and tells you to basically become a man dude bro and act like a complete asshole.

Being a man dude bro that acts like a complete asshole is supposed to be my job. Sure society says I should be a complete simp pussy man bitch that basically acts gay, but chicks wouldn't keep sucking on my weiner if I became that way.

Trust your gut instincts and don't trust what overweight cat whamens that even other women don't like tell you what you "should" like. That also goes for the homosexual dudes telling you the same shit and telling you to accept being fat.

It absolutely does. I want to know that a girl likes me and is interested in me. I'm willing to put in more effort into a girl that makes that clear. It's definitely more difficult for me to put effort into a girl that I have to guess about. Reciprocation is key.

Avicenna · Answer

Yeah, it definitely would have an effect, but of course only if she was attractive to me (overall, not just in terms of looks).

Lliam · Answer

Definitely.
If she didn't indicate in some way that she was into me, I would assume that she wasn't.
I was never into chasing women. If they didn't respond, I wrote them off.

Most of my girlfriends sent clear signals that they were interested in me before I ever asked them out. But even the ones who agreed to go on a date before we even knew each other sent clear signals during or after the first date.

Almost always, by the second or third date, we were dating each other exclusively and into a sexual relationship.

Their looks, personality, attitude, and sexuality would make me head over heels. And a lot of that had to do with the fact that they obviously adored me.

Yes, I don't play hard to get, when a woman plays hard to get I play impossible to get.

WhitneySnow · Answer

I think most single guys would love this, though there are some really jaded players who would actually find this a turnoff. But I don’t think the guy you like is like that.

M-Trimble · Answer

I'd rather she admits it and let's her intentions be known, vs beating around the bush and playing hard to get. Guys are not mind readers, and just throw all your cards on the table.

Depends on whether they consider her attractive enough or not.

Anonymous · Answer

It would make me suspicious. In the long run, if she kept it up, I might have to conclude she is the real deal. But this goes against everything experienced guys know about women. Women simply don't do this.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Depends on the situation and how she does it/acts after the fact, but it can be extremely attractive.

_Highway · Answer

As a guy that's lacking in self confidence having a woman approach me and interact with me would make me feel more confident. It would also make me find this person intriguing, who is extroverted to approach someone. Definitely more interested in seeing if there was more.

Yes, for me, it does.

Shiprex · Answer

The right person needs to be showing that attention in the right way. Men are not thirsty for that kind of attention from anyone.

if only her face was beautiful enough to behold. If there is more it would be great.
