I notice and purposely ignore it... I mean women have that moment where that sexual attraction surges in them and they sort of put themselves out there saying something or doing something that puts them out there. I give them an out... even if I want her too, I'm not going to take advantage of it because...

... too many times I've gotten with a chick and then she starts having second thoughts and she will try and make her internal drama my issue. Nothing worse than a chick breaking out in tears during sex... kills the mood... and that's when she finally decides to tell you she has a husband and kids back in the Philippines. It's like, "Oh yeah, thanks for telling me all about that while I was trying to get myself off after getting you off."

So now I pick up on the signs but will ignore it and I refuse to make moves of my own. Chase a woman? naw, I don't even chase my drinks. She can have her second thoughts and back out by herself or she can start pursuing me as if her vagina depends upon it.

RavVid · Answer

Classically we don't. We could all study body language I guess but it doesn't mean much unless it is calibrated to the persons normal and at a first meeting you don't have that. I do notice if she is giving me more attention than other guys. Hair flicks. Leaning her cleavage forward.

She might make hand gestures to her cleavage but is she really saying "Look at my lovely firm breasts' or does she normally do that when referring to herself? Flirting is meant to be deniable expression of interest so the problem is it is ambiguous.

I think I do get it eventually but that is more due to her being cute and me liking that than me thinking 'Oh she's fiddling with her hair - I am as good as IN'.

Yes, we can but their are a lot of things that have to be taken into consideration. Someone who is super friendly could be coming off as flirting so if someone was flirting but a super friendly person that really could go either way. I mean I just automatically kind of know. And due to the fact I have evolved back to a kindergarten mind frame with females like do you like me yes or no if I see signs I basically just check to see if they do , but if they don't then no hard feelings. Alotta people like romance and to wait to see were things go I am more straight forward. I understand that sometimes things may start as just talking and being nice relationships like that in person never really get anywhere. But their are signs as far as the way females act around you or ask about you that show they are into you. I automatically am aware and I just check...

ChiTown33 · Answer

No. Because women constantly play games. Women act the same when they have actual interest vs. Just feigning interest. There are 2 types of guys. 1. Guys that bite on every advance a woman makes and get disrespected a lot. Of course most of these guys are the so called "players" they know most women's nature so they don't take any woman seriously because they know most aren't. So it's a wash it's just 2 people playing eachother. The 2nd type of a guy is a trusting person. He takes what most women say at face value a lot. He gets disrespected repeatedly. Eventually he learns to stop trusting what most women say until they demonstrate they're not completely full of s***. Eventually he finds a women who genuinely values him and is willing to invest the time and effort that she's not completely full of s***, or he doesn't find that woman and he stays single... and life goes on. 👍

Im a substitute teacher and like this girl at work who I have had few classes all to ourselves. Those are the best class room teaching assignments. Its like me and her being the mom and dad, teaching together our 21 children.

Working with your crush in a job like this is amazing untill the day is over and reality teams up with truth to kick my ass, break my heart and shatter my dreams of turning a fellow teacher to a girlfriend.

This girl never

Smiles when she sees me from far away
Answers but never asks
Never keeps breaktime conversations alive
Never compliments me, in return

These signals say she is not intrested in me. I listen to Avatar soundtrack, I see you. That song has helped me to see me through her eyes.

I dont think she is just a shy introvert, stereotypical librarian type. I believe Im an idiot.

kuffs · Answer

the look wouldn’t make the lion king pg-13.
But for the most part men are slow to womens hints. If the girl had those come get me eyes though most of us know what that means. Otherwise you need to show skin and be more blunt with us. Think axe vs scalpel. Then we will think your being subtle.

Genie23 · Answer

I bet nobody can read me because even though I'm not THAT shy anymore but whenever I like someone or interested in them, I completely try to avoid them. I don't look at them or don't talk to them and when they approach me, I give few word answers, lol. So, all my past crushes and every guy who approached me thought I disliked them. 🤣 (Except for the ones I was in a relationship with)

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I think posture is one we rarely pick up on, but is a good sign. Women tend to move closer/within your personal space and have their hands at their side, rarely in front to suggest they are blocking you. They also play with their hair/groom themselves to show their better side or appearance.

MementoMori777 · Answer

Kinda but I will admit sometimes I act stupid be sure, if you act dumb they will throw more signs, the more you "innocently" let slip, the stronger the next one will be until i reach full certainty cause no lie some aren't noticable at all.

magiusX26 · Answer

nope. of course i also happen to gave a mild case of aspergers which specifically affects my ability to read these particular social signals. so quite literally if a woman likes me like that, she will have to state it directly and clearly. something like " (name) i like you enough to want a date with you" and to be honest that sometimes mite stil be too subtle.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Yep. They tend to be very obvious.

1: Their eyes light up when they see me.

2: Look in my direction a lot.

3: Smile at me often.

4: Close to my personal space.

5: Feel comfortable touching me or I touching her.

Those are the signs I normally get.

Pohjolan · Answer

Thing is that we don't get to know about false negatives in this context but only real positives and false positives and only when we roll the dice.

There aren't really many signs that gals who are being just friendly won't do as well and some women are just flirting for fun or to get a drink.

Blushing is something that's hard to fake.

Googlemyahoo · Answer

If the signs are present, yes. I however had many girls who said they liked me but said I never reciprocated. They never indicated they liked me at the time.

Sorry my mental telepathy wasn’t working that day

hellorambo · Answer

Yes but it’s hard to tell if it’s just playful or they are serious. Also, Nala is technically his sister.

AdithyaR · Answer

I can never tell. Plus it doesn't help that my low self esteem will convince me that everybody's just being nice and there's no possibility of someone flirting with me.

strateguy632 · Answer

no clue... just move slow and give her time to say not now. if she wants she "won't say a word" reference song kiss the girl.

AviatorTom · Answer

I think I'm like most guys... clueless when it comes to reading hints that women give. Be blunt please... we guys can handle it.

JSmuve · Answer

There are no such things as signs. Just a bunch of behaviours that may indicate interest or may not indicate interest. No point in looking for them when you could be wrong.

Reorx · Answer

My favorite is the drunk / swooning / dreamy look, blush or touch. I never knew how to read signs until I made the effort to learn to read body language. This is something many men don't get naturally & need to learn.

Fuentes · Answer

Stares and smiles and always touching me or complimenting me and always happy always happy to see me and saying hi to me, like I'm the best part of their day. But little do they know I sometimes ignore them to be an asshole.

NathanDavis · Answer

now I do... lol

Lionman95 · Answer

Honestly I never have a clue if a woman likes me or not.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Nope, that's a blind spot for me. When I'm seeking a girl I can tell when she is fine with being approached, but when one is into me I am generally oblivious.

EpicSnail · Answer

Yeah, but not sure women always give signs. But stuff like looking at you with curiosity or appearing shy or blushing or twirling her hair.

kellytheman · Answer

Yeah just the looks you give us with your eyes, smile, and your body language. Also if your a little touchy with us we feel we got you want us lol.

Juxtapose · Answer

I'm literally autistic, you'll be lucky if I pick up hints at all. Regular guy struggle with this so if someone like me it's best to be straight up.

Andres77 · Answer

i'm a little autistic. i've missed SO many signs. basically, you just had to tell me.

Grond21 · Answer

That is one of the best animated interactions I've ever seen. They nailed those looks so perfectly

Rockstarrrrr · Answer

Yeah very much... It helps that most of them flirt aggressively and make it obvious but I'm good even with the subtle ones because I'm such a mentalist lol... I think I've never been wrong about it...

SirJohn42 · Answer

A real good one is if she plants her feet towards you and stares at you.

Sparkie460 · Answer

If you gave me bedroom eyes and smiled I'd know what that meant

smilelots · Answer

No not really maybe sometimes , its not that easy for me I guess,

PointTaken · Answer

No. I can read them when it's to others but not to me.

WhiteBoyChill · Answer

I mean yeah obviously if the girl looks anything like that cougar I’m going to assume she’s interested. Haha

Jltakk · Answer

I don't read social cues well at all. Romantic ones, if any, will be missed. I've been told I've been given signs in the past, and they all go over my head. I'd rather a simple "I like you".

Guardian45 · Answer
