I was at a housewarming party last night and a lady I know also came. I wasn't expecting her there (I wasn't even expecting a gathering), but she and 3 other people showed up. The only reason I was there was because I'd gotten my friend a house warming gift and he told me what time to show up.
This woman and I have always had a decent relationship, but distant. She's always sort of held me at arm's length. Tonight was pretty much the same. The conversation between us doesn't really flow. I've kind of gotten the vibe that she generally has a good vibe about me, she's just not really comfortable opening up to me one on one.
After other people arrived the conversation started to flow. I noticed she was often looking over at me when she would start to laugh. Someone would say something funny, she'd look over at me, then she'd laugh.
Now, I'm not an idiot (that's not true, I am DEFINITELY an idiot), so I'm not asking whether this means she wants to have my babies or some shit, but I wondered if the fact she was looking over at me is a good sign?

Honestly, I wouldn't take it one way or the other. I think the bigger issue is how you say conversation doesn't flow and she keeps a distance from you. Those aren't good starters...
Okay, that makes sense. I agree that those are definitely not good starters. It's why I was even asking this question. I've basically tried to be friendly with her in group settings but not do any pursuing.
There's more to the story, but yeah... bit of a red flag.
A good sign for what? You don't even talk to her.
Some degree degree of familairity, closeness, intimacy... Even if it's just the possibility.
Dude, quit acting like a chick. IF you think this woman is hot, talk to her and ask her out.
Conversations require 2 people, dumbass. I can't talk with someone who doesn't want to be talked with.
hey fucktard, if she doesn't want to talk to you, she's not interested.
And the purpose of this question is to determine if her level of receptiveness might change.
And you find that out by talking to her. Holy shit you can't be this stupid.
The only stupid person here is you.
I'm not the pussy who can't talk to a girl. No wonder she has no interest in you.
Read the question details: I do talk to her.
Then ask her out pusss.
And now we get to the point of the question I actually asked: I would be happy to ask her out if I start to see an pattern of behavior that suggests she would be receptive to going out with me. It doesn't make any sense to shoot random shots when I can use a modicum of tact and social awareness.
No, you ask her out because you're a man and want to ask her out.
And if I actually want to be successful with it, I can read the room.
You can't negotiate attraction. She's either into you or not.
Correct. But because she's part of a group of other friendships, I'd rather not put her in the position of needing to reject me or have an awkward conversation if it's obvious she's just not interested in me to begin with. Hence, the social tact.
So then move on.
Good sign
