.....if someone likes you? :confused:

jabidas 10-05-2002 07:28 PM

Put a gun to their forehead and roar very loudly DO YOU LIKE ME. If they answer yes you can relax. I have to do the same thing every time I meet someone but in my case its to find out whether they have a sense of humor or not. If they do, well then I can relax.

As a youngster, there were times that I thought every girl liked me (well, at least they should have! ;) ), and other times that I thought no girls liked me (when they did!)

I learnt from experience to assume nothing until actually told. The female race is far too difficult to interpret for us dazed and confused males.

But then again, if the body-language is strong enough...

RevRuby 10-05-2002 08:22 PM

i could tell if someone liked me by whether or not they called me the day after our date. now i don;t need to worry about that tho, cause my husband would have problems if ppl called me after a date!!!!

Attalus 10-05-2002 08:34 PM

When I was dating,I could tell by how often they smiled when I talked to them. If it was perfuctory, not a chance. If they laughed genuinely and genuinely seemed to like talking to me, then I would give it a shot. Eye contact means a lot, too, and a certain relaxation and movement of their body. If they lick their lip, don't worry.

Firestormalpha 10-05-2002 09:40 PM

Trickster thats true enough. I'm 18 and the only thing I'm ever truly certain of is which girls I find physically appealing, it's a serious pain in the rear trying to interperet my own emotions. why would I try to understand a mind that is so alien to my own (not that I don't try once in a while.) All I see is the girls' smiles as they pass me in the halls; I don't know if it's an "I like you" smile or a "He's really hot" smile or a "Let's be friends" smile. I assume if it's a "Let's be friends" smile they'd just come up and talk to me though.

They take your shoes off and begin to lick between your toes [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

When they start farting in your presence, that means they feel comfortable around you. :D

No words have been spoken in this post that are more true!

This is the, UGLY, unfortunate truth!

Vaskez 10-05-2002 10:33 PM

If they constantly find excuses to talk to you about any little crap then it shows they like you. Also if they try to get your attention etc. Those are the obvious ones but unfortunately most of the time it's not that simple as the others have said. For example, my girlfriend showed that she liked me before we were going out by avoiding talking to me a lot! I know it sound wierd but she later explained that she liked me and was worried that she might say/do something stupid to put me off! Silly girl! :D

I guess this means that I have been married for eight years to someone who is not comfortable around me. [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]

Mine must feel VERY comfortable!

The Ornery One 10-06-2002 03:22 AM

Just keep in mind guys (and you know which ones of you I mean), liking someone and being comfortable with them are two entirely different things.

Other than that, Vaskez is pretty much on the dot.
And don't think that girls have it any easier at telling when a guy likes them (unless the guy is rude about it or very forward). If a guy is the quiet but friendly type, how is a girl supposed to know if he isn't just being nice?

What do you mean ? I don't feel comfortable around someone if i don't like him or her, so imo they are not THAT different.

Charean 10-06-2002 11:23 AM

Sir Goulum, if you are not sure, don't sweat it.

Eye contact is usually a giveaway. But aside from that, talking to the girl may be helpful. You know the signs if someone doesn't like you (you probably do them yourself).

Heck, I was a supreme note passer. Write a joke or something funny and give it to her. One of the best ways to break the ice. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Johnny - I meant that just because someone is comfortable around you, it doesn't mean they are romantically interested. (The troubles of posting before bedtime.)

You're taking me a ways back with this question, Sir G. As mentioned by others: Eye contact, getting your attention, conversations, passing notes, friends asking if you like so and so for her.

Are you building up the courage to ask someone out? If so, do it. (I know, easier said than done).

Pumpkin icon used for your benefit. ;)

Naw, I tend to prefer a direct approach, eliminates any potential misunderstandings.

Timber Loftis 10-07-2002 02:40 PM

I have a test. I walk up and ask: "So when I wake you in the morning, will it be with a phone call or a gentle nudge." Then I kiss them. If they kiss me back, they like me.

This might be why not that many men like me. :D

Attalus 10-07-2002 02:44 PM

And if they punch your lights out, they don't. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Timber Loftis 10-07-2002 02:45 PM

Actually, Sir Gollum, here's the best rule of thumb I can give. Assuming you are asking about women, if they try to make you better they like you. In my experience, it is nearly a 100% rule that when women love (or seriously like) a man, they try to help him become the best man he can be (sorta like the Army, but with lots of discussions about how you're feeling tied in :D ). So, is she trying to encourage you to get better grades, bone-up for that interview, or go running with her? Could be a clue.

Well, she kinda ruffles my hair once in a while and says I'm cute...does that count! (she especially says I'm cute if I start to blush)

True_Moose 10-07-2002 11:32 PM

Well that ain't half bad...my first gf liked ruffling my hair...then I started gelling it and, well... :(
