How do you know when...?

[nobody456]

Hm (scratches neck) I'm clueless about this matter as well. A certain fella keeps hugging me, asking me to sit next to him, and he has told me repeatedly "I really like you."

I don't know... errm... is that a sign that he likes me? o_O

I'm in denial about this sort of thing, it's quite sad. I will refer back to this thread for clues (whips out magnifying glass)

He probably likes you. It sounds like you don't really like him. If you're not attracted to him, just say so. As a single man, I'd rather not force something and know that the lady doesn't really want to try. Friendship is highly valued, but it's not the same thing as a more intimate relationship.

Women have done this to me before. "Go away", " (insert anything here as rude and shallow but all basically the same thing- Go Away)". And don't try to understand why she wants you to go away, just accept it and move on, her loss.

Whoooops!:Oops: I read the whole thing wrong! What I wrote was my sex.

How do I know a guy is interested? Most of them are pretty obvious and direct, if not I'm clueless! I'm more like a pirate, I don't pay much attention to anything but what I want, then I raid the ship and take it!

Seriously, guys tend to lay the compliments on thick. They stare, stutter and ramble. They act jealous when you talk to other guys...idk...

Jinx...it's very normal feeling that you don't know what the hell you are doing. I just got out of a relationship and I haven't dated in about 11years I have no clue. I figure I'll catch on.

lol.."I'm like a pirate"...classic

for some guys, just getting your attention (you're probably the hottest girl he's ever talked to in his life - at least that's what going through his head every time he meets someone) is an amazing feat in itself. I've met guys like this and just amazed that they don't get out more often. Sometimes they don't have friends to help them. I'm helping this one ex-co-worker (28, just had his first kiss a few months ago) and it's incredible how some things (simple, like eye contact, clean clothes) just hold him back ever so slightly. He's a genuinely nice guy and great personality, just gets nervous about dating. So I've been helping him out crashing and burning.

I'm more of a long term guy and it does take a little getting used to dating again. It doesn't mean I'll be a complete slob when we're committed

First Question in a planned series of dating questions. Just for fun...

#1. How do you know when someone (of the opposite sex- c'mon same sex is too easy) likes you?


Doesn't matter what kind of liking it is, anything goes!

Eye contact is a good sign.....

Eye contact with a smile is a better sign.

Physical contact is a great sign unless she is working for tips,,,, (everybody thinks the Hooter girls like them)

If they laugh at your jokes....you are in

Your guy has nice guy syndrome...... His plan is for you to see him as the nicest guy ever.......change of pace kinda thing. And he may be......but he is waiting for you to make the next move.

Guys tend to screw this up often

For the ladies I would think it's fairly easy to read guys.. Don't think you need to know much.

I would assume most are pretty blunt about their attitudes. If they like you, they'll let you know. Unless you are playing with one of those hard to catch kinds that have flamingos all over them (ie Brad pitt).

Pretty sure your guy is making some moves, jinxedcat. He just doesn't seem to take full initiative on it but maybe a part of it has to do with your feelings towards him? Just guessing.

It was in church a couple of years ago, he did the stutter, stare and rambled in our conversation. He would walk me to my car after church services and talk to me in a nervous manner. I am the most mellow lady to get along with. He was a bit nervous around. The feeling was mutual but something bad happened for us to be couple and ended.

still figuring that one out...

still figuring that one out...

I think that's why I started this thread...and series...sometimes we have to remind each other that dating is not easy and sometimes guidance can be funny. I don't know if I'll ever figure out what it is that gets me to where I want to be. I think I'll know when I'll get there. And I think I'll be responding to this thread 20 years from now .

How I know? When he tell me he want to go on a second date... and actually mean it.. and third date... and fourth date...
