OP; Ahhhh.... we're not giving out our little secrets so easily. (Lol...ok, go on then.... Usually. Prologed or repeated eye contact. & sometimes a little smile....)

You're trying to tell if this guy at work is interested in you....Aren't you?

When I see a girl I like I often wait. I survey the scene if I have the time and find a reason to go talk to her, and act casual. Getting a good conversation going is my number one tried and true tactic on both ends. I like to show women I know how to talk, and to be attractive a woman has to be able to keep my attention.

I like to try the "Stare akwardly and then go on with my day" strategy.

Occasionally I like to try and strike up conversation, but it can be tough unless there's something immediately right there to talk about.

Oh and on a side note, I usually don't bother approaching women unless I catch her looking at me. If my fly is down or I look like I pissed my pants/threw food on my shirt for some unknown reason then I figure I can't be any more embarassed and if she actually had a good look at somethin she liked then I'll be damned if that can't be a good thing.

I first try to make eye contact ....to see if she smiles and returns my gaze.
Usually , in that first simple look...it tells all....if there is any start point ...this is the crutal point.....if she is attracted to you ...she will make eye contact and you will see her eyes brighten
------------------------------------
Bingo, that's what I also do as well :-)

I take up a position about 50 yards away with a clear line of sight, and from that distance I watch her and imagine what of she was really as small as she looks from that far away. Does she look right; is she well proportioned? Could I pick her out of a line-up next to small dogs, cats and hedgehogs? It tells me a lot. Then I halve the distance so she gets twice that size and about half actual size. From there I can read her facial expression. I do not stare, I just glance over nonchalantly. I am looking to see if she seems pensive, as if she might be thinking she wants to pop her top to catch my attention but for being shy. Then I wander around and wind up within ear shot, still keeping a few yards away, and I hum a few bars of the first song that comes to mind. If she starts swaying to the music I know she wants me.

This has to be the toughest part. This is the 2nd message/post about this idea. I thought there would be a bunch of pointers and advice to take in this thread but no dice!

I think the best method of what to do is start shaking uncontrollably and make all kinds of grunts and whistles and hope she has the decency to be concerned and ask you what's wrong. Then you act normal and pretend nothing happened.

If a woman is interested in you, she's interested in you. That won't change until you do something silly or stupid, and even that stands a chance of being considered somewhat charming - if you are lucky.

If you aren't, it's called learning.

Surprisingly, if not shockingly, women are just as interested in the opposite sex (and sex itself) as much as we men are. They get hit on by players, and sometimes fall for the lines.

It's a bit like buying a lottery ticket, when it comes to making that first step to speak to a woman. Initially, the fear of failure gets overpowering, because of the way we men are typically raised.

One has to get over that fear, because it's one based in a primal misunderstanding of how things work. A woman that rejects you, without knowing you, is not "debasing" your sense of self worth in any way.

She's just the wrong woman....carry on.

Once you get that into your head, rejection is meaningless, from a stranger.

There area lot of lonely women out there, looking for a great guy. That's something that's pretty rare, if you read the forums around these parts. If you ARE a great guy, and treat a woman properly...well, you are a person of interest to at least one woman out there.

You do have to understand the female mind though, and it's filters. If you don't have that base right off, it will be learned over time with some attention.

Now finding that ONE woman ?

That takes time, and the voyage can be an entertaining and rewarding one.

If you DON'T try, you will ALWAYS fail - that's rule number one.

Priceless!

Now I have to start listening for me to hum around me!

I rarely every approach women I don't already know because I'm too shy/afraid of rejection. How does attract my attention? By being someone I'm attracted to first and foremost. That said, the little hints women like to do, doesn't work for me. She needs to be direct with me. If she's interested, she should say so.

Let's see, I've seen I've wanted to get to know better: in traffic, at school (when I was still in school), at work (not my current job though), in the grocery store (or any store for that matter, customers & clerks alike), church, and probably many other places. Now school, if the girl was already in a class with me, we already had a common bond, so it was a lot easier. I feel too awkward pursuing a woman who I don't already have something in common with.

As for how I court, I used to think that just spending lots of time with them was enough to show I'm interested in them, but apparently women interpret that as "he likes me as a friend." I'm the type of guy who doesn't usually make the first move (working on that). That being said, I haven't had the opportunity to "court" many women as they say, no 2nd dates thus far.

yell at her, whistle, go up to her and start talking. throw a cheesy pick up line, its funny. not a dirty one and dont be too obnoxious yelling or whistling. "heyy you, with the blonde hair... " tell her your sorry if your bothering her but you couldnt let her just walk away. smile a lot, look her directly in the eyes.

^ i would approach kyn with a slightly rude but hilarious comment on our environment, then make a couple detached jokes to establish my manliness, compliment her on her looks, and seal the deal with what can only be described as a puppy dog eyes and pure charm.

don't pretend you wouldn't like it.

I'll just put in another voice for the eye contact thing... I look for some sign that approach would be welcome.

That's one way of looking at it, I guess.

Men are supposed to be strong, confident and fearless. That's the Bogart way. Let me light this cigarette, and sit here thinking about how sorry an excuse of a man I must be to ever let a dame like her throw a monkey wrench into my guts.

(rolls the ice cubes in his Scotch and soda, then takes a sip)

But then again, inside of every one of us men (almost all of us , in fact), there's still this echo of that eighth grader with the unrequited love interest standing by his locker looking at her yearbook picture longingly.

Every time I watch "Dazed and Confused", and I see that opening scene of that hopped up orange Challenger turning left into the high school parking lot, to the sound of Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion" ?

It's like one of those John Cusak soliloquies in High Fidelity, where he turns to the camera and starts to explain the tie in between music and his life.

I'm sixteen again, standing there with my back leaning against my locker in my blue school sweater with the white band on one sleeve, books in hand, remembering how great Susan looked in her cheerleader's outfit at football practice on Monday.

Then Susan walks by.....with that guy in the orange Challenger. She's with the quarterback, and I'm still here out in left field.

Sigh.

The only class she was in was that chemistry course....and also the "out of our league" class.You see there are very few women like that that ever cross a man's path. There's always that ONE girl who catches your individual fancy. We don't have to fight dragons or gladiators anymore, but we do have to walk onto this battlefield that love is played out on.

Sometimes fighting dragons or windmills doesn't seem to be THAT bad, really ?

Sometimes it's better getting your heart torn out by a dragon, than it ever is to have it broken by a woman. At least the former is a quick death, and rather merciful.

So this is the desert we men must walk through, until one day you finally do realize the entire thing is indeed idiotic. Who really cares if someone that doesn't know you somehow "writes you off" , in some way ? Why they do or don't like you has little if anything to do with who you really are. It's just their attraction to what they see in you, or what you let them see of yourself, and their own individual filters.

Maybe she's too tired, just broke up with someone, is dating someone right now, or she wants to concentrate on other things for the time being ? There's a better than equal chance that these types of reasons will be among the one's that woman uses in regards to how she sees you.

So you wear your heart on your sleeve, and build up some pretty impressive callouses under it from all those "Homer Simpson" moments of your life as a male. You learn far more from your mistakes than you ever do from the other things you are successful at. You learn about women, but you also learn about yourself as well. Given enough care and effort, those things will make you a better person overall.

If you meet the right woman, it all works out rather well, typically.

I just watch her ...you can tell when a woman is full of herself...all the little model moves like hair flipping and cutesy poses as if there were a camera in the room...most these women are a waste of time.

I'm old school and I mean REALLY old.

First my brows become furrowed and my nose widens another inch or two.
I grow hair all over my body instantly and suddenly there's a club in my hand.
I waddle over to the unsuspecting woman that has captured my attention and I give
her a sharp wrap on the back of the noggin. Then I grab her hair and drag her off
to my cave.


You just destroyed my whole image of you, lol.

What do I do? I look at her. See if she looks back. If she does, look away quickly, then look again, being as clandestine as possible. I am a master of eye games. No-one has dethroned me yet! If I feel some weird gravitational attraction (i.e. that she is interested) or some kind of blushing heat, then I falter, maybe even trip over invisible particles on the floor, and continue on my way.

As soon as I'm in the safe zone, I analyze the situation for at least thirty minutes and yell at myself until I realize I probably avoided a sexual harassment lawsuit. Whew. Dodged another bullet. I chalk it up as a push and then start wondering about important things like how long is the longest doom metal song ever and if the latest episode of D.Gray-Man is done being fansubbed yet.

I don't think I can just walk up to the women in the street, it's just not my style.
But I can start a conversation in the store, bank, etc.
And if my blue eyes, and accent doesn't make her melt, than I got nothing...
