Guys, please elighten us ladies on attraction only 🫦 vs. actual liking ❤️. What is the difference? How can we girls tell by your behavior?

[Radiate143]

I've been on here reading posts asking, "how to tell if a guy really likes you" and I notice girls will answer with body language answers and men more with he does xyz.

I think this is where a lot of us girls screw ourselves up getting attached to guys who are merely attracted to us and do not actually like us. I. e. want to connect to us, grow with us. 🌱

So, gentlemen 🎩 can you help your XX humans out and reveal to us how we can tell that a guy actually likes 👩🏾‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏻 us vs. only being attracted.💃🏽 🥵🐕

• What is the difference in how you feel?
• How does your body react depending on the feeling?
• How do you interact depending

[Lionman95]

I'd say the main difference that a guy that actually likes a girl is attracted to her physically and also likes her character, while the guy that's attracted only looks on physical attributes and doesn't want to know about her life. I would say it can be tricky to differentiate because a guy that's physically attracted doesn't want her to see that. I would say the guy that actually likes a girl is more patient since he wants to do it right and not mess it up. I think a guy that actually likes a girl cares about her and wants her to be comfortable around him while a guy that's physical attributes looks to achieve his own goals with her. His interest (only attracted guy) in her is merely physical so when she loses physical attraction in his eyes he's gone. Or he's gone because he found another girl he's attracted to. He sometimes shows signs or points out that he has options. He also stays distant and stares or is just looking for sex but he doesn't want an emotional connection.

For me the difference is that I remember a woman I really like longer than a woman I'm just physically attracted to because liking a woman makes me build a bond with her, she becomes part of my life. That means that I'm interested in small things like how was your day/holiday what stresses her and I try to be part of her life.

[Radiate143]

Thanks. It's nuanced a bit. Easy to miss when we girls are also clouded by attraction. Most of us girls are looking for our guy. I believe girls who say their cool with casual stuff and believe they can just screw around unscathed like men can are lying to themselves.

[Lionman95]

I hope I could a bit because thinking about it made me realise that it´s easy to explain.

[Radiate143]

There is hope after all.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

If I recall from my younger years, body language (smiles, eye contact) were my "interested/your attractive " sign. "Liking" came after we actually met. I e we oils show genuine interest through conversation, kindness, and not going for "home plate" (never really looked to do that in the first place).
Real conversation would actually take place, that delved into her life and her interests.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

Love the hand holding🥰

[Radiate143]

Hand holding doesn't mean much these days.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

😕 ohhhh

[Radiate143]

Yeahhh. It's that bad.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

Wouldn't you also think that physical attraction usually comes before mental attraction? It's hard to know if your are mentally attracted to someone before conversation.

[Radiate143]

You can tell a lot about a person's mindset by how they carry themselves.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

I can agree with that to an extent. But I still don't know that it would show mental attraction until they actually get to know you.

[Radiate143]

Back to the hand holding, it's not nothing it's just that things go so fast and it's almost as if us young people in our 20s are looked down upon if we don't treat dating like a buffet. So people are just caught up in the rush and flip on a dime so quick.

[AmeerX]

@Radiate143 hand holding has extreme value for me too

[Radiate143]

@AmeerX that's so sweet. Me too. It should be. Sadly, some people use any tool they have to manipulate.

[AmeerX]

🙄 what part of world you are from @Radiate143.
Hey I notice you have lots of insecurities. Love is not like how people make it out to be. Love is a slowly growing tree. It's not like you can just get it as a happy meal from McDonald's 🤣.

Love and prayers requires patience

[Radiate143]

@AmeerX what insecurities are those?

[Radiate143]

@AmeerX I know that love takes time. I'm not insecure to point out that people are really shady now in the dating world. This isn't insecure, this is reality. I'm a realist and we live in a world that is going downhill fast.

[AmeerX]

Insecurities surrounding people's opinion of you. Forget what others think is slow or fast. And yes Shady people are responsible for Dating sites becoming nsa hubs. It's pathetic 😔.

And I am glad you are clear on this. So, good luck 🍀🤞. You have my prayers and may that Chef serves you with a ring on a silver platter 😁

[Radiate143]

@AmeerX oh that's strange. I actually am not concerned with people's opinion of me much at all. But thanks for the advice.

[AmeerX]

Anyhow, I think I should write attraction vs liking. If I like a woman I usually try to make it known in my words and actions. But if it's just attraction I usually just look and be shy and look away.
Liking is farore advanced

[Radiate143]

@AmeerX thanks. We ladies want to know!!

[AmeerX]

Indeed, I used to be super shy but with my first crush I told her straight, no long flirting or anything. Just went and told her. Alas not all ladies think they deserve to know who likes them or not.
I didn't stalk her or anything though

[Billlewis]

While it's probably quite challenging to discern the difference between affinity and sexual attraction, the guy's demeanor will generally be more nervous, frantic and uncomfortable overall if he's sexually aroused. I know that's not much to go on, but if I think of anything else, I'll be sure to let you know as soon as possible.

[Radiate143]

Oh that's already amazing because the general info is that a guybis nervous because they have an emotional liking but it is in fact sexual. Good to know.

[Billlewis]

I think the nervousness (like I'm experiencing right now) can overlap between the two kinds of attraction, but when we're sexually aroused, the added dimension of the physical changes, caused by sweating, uneasiness and the accompanying erection are, collectively, harder to conceal.

[Nirmroth]

Well added on beeing friendly they will tease you, be more attentive (remembers even small details about or/and brings them up), will do you small favours and so on.

The most important thing however is that he does that only or mainly only with you. If you think a guy likes you and he does above mentioned things maybe observe how he is treating other girls around him. If he is flirty/attentive and so on to other girls aswell he likely has no real interest in you.

[Radiate143]

Awesome, thanks 😊

[lildkman1090]

Attraction and liking are two of the same coin lust is different

[Radiate143]

Oh, that's interesting 🤔

[lildkman1090]

Yes you can like and be attracted to someone at the same time lust is completely different it almost hijacks your brain

[Radiate143]

So how does this "brain hijacking" show up vs. How the attraction and like does?

[lildkman1090]

Attraction/ and like /love it’s built over time becoming a part of who you are lust is a in the moment feeling where your body is almost going on it’s own there’s a big difference lust is intense you’ll know

[Radiate143]

Ok. BUt how would a guy act. We ladies want body tells.

[lildkman1090]

Trust me there isn’t much difference so when your horny right and you want it when your lusting it’s almost like a afrodesiack it’s way worst like it’s almost like your not yourself man or woman

[Jennz6]

Great question, I’m reading 📖 what every guy says

[Radiate143]

That was the whole idea 😏😊

[Nifrayu]

If he is interested in you on a romantic level he will want to know everything about you. He will want to get to know you on a very personal level.

[Vikkrram]

I would like to know that what's happening with you?

[Radiate143]

Sorry?

[Vikkrram]

I mean is there a guy who is giving mixed signals to you and you like him?

[Radiate143]

Oh. That's so nice of you to ask 🥹.
Why do guys get shy after flirting with you? ↗

I just updated this. That's what's going on. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[Vikkrram]

I think ma'am he can be confused as you he didn't know that how to approach any girl first that's why...

[Radiate143]

Ok. Thanks.

[Vikkrram]

Ma'am and I am sorry for the late reply ma'am actually i don't use this app frequently.

[Radiate143]

No worries. That's a good thing! Did you read the link, though? Did you see the update?

[Radiate143]

Would you call this special treatment or professionalism? ↗

[Vikkrram]

Yup now i read after you said ma'am I think he likes you but don't know how to start a convo.

He's like me i hope he didn't messed things likes me 😂

[Radiate143]

Actually, there was another waiter who was staring at me and couldn't talk to me. I got a very bad feeling about him. Two other waiters would flirt with me and three others would be super nice I guess to get me to like the waiter guy.

Anyway, now all of the staff there aren't rude but they are very super serious with me. No smiley faces. Just super super professional. Not being playful with me nothing at all. Big change.

[Radiate143]

But this guy is a cook not a waiter.. the one I like.

[Vikkrram]

I would say then strike a convo with him

[Radiate143]

No that's no issue. I just haven't seen the cook. What I mean is that after I flirted with the cook a bit, suddenly the other guys who work in the restaurant stopped being as friendly with me. The other waiters stopped trying to flirt with me too.

[Twalli]

If Iike a girl, I will ask her out (provided I am single), if I'm just attracted towards her I won't. Every girl I like, I am attracted towards.

[Radiate143]
