| What do you do when you like someone? Posted: 3/3/2008 7:08:50 AM | | Hahah I am the same!! if I really , really like a guy I act like an idiot and pretend I don't care.Its a defense mechanism against rejection I suppose.I lose the plot completely. The more I like him, the worse I act --help. I also flirt outrageously, take the pee and generally over do everything. There are guys out there who will recognize my modus operandi, ahah now you know I fancied you like mad.Sigh no surprise I am single, I am a total turn off. | |

| What do you do when you like someone? Posted: 3/3/2008 7:41:17 AM | | My body does things against my will. I lean in and smile and giggle too much, my hands go out for little arm touches, everything sounds like a double entendre, I can feel my shoulders and hips doing swervy things that normally I would keep to myself. I swear I have little control over it! If it makes him feel uncomfortable I have to go in the other room! | |

| What do you do when you like someone? Posted: 3/3/2008 8:44:35 AM | | I ramble, big time. I also have a tendency to stay really stupid things that I would never normally say and make myself look like a complete ass. | |

| What do you do when you like someone? Posted: 3/3/2008 9:03:42 AM | If I really like someone I get this energy boost kind of thing. My heart rate goes up, I get all giddy, I forget my left from my right, I try to speak but only gibberish comes out.
"Hi Stacey, morning good is, how today are you? Then I just blush and bolt outta there. | |

| What do you do when you like someone? Posted: 3/18/2008 12:39:06 PM | I'm so glad i'm not the first person who says they hum........... I too almost choked when i read some of the comments on here, but i do tend to hum to myself totally unintentionally when i meet someone i really like (hopefully not infront of them!!!)  | |

| What do you do when you like someone? Posted: 3/18/2008 12:47:55 PM | If I am in a social situation or have ahad a few, I am very flirtatious and touchy feely... If I'm alone with them or in a more intimate environment, I tend to get a bit shy and clumsy.
OR I do what others have said and acted a bit rude or aloof unintentionally to appear as though I DON'T like them..lol Definitely a defense mechanism for the possibility of rejection. Dumb I know, but can't be helped sometimes! lol
I'm laughing reading the ones about humming! I have been doing that lately and have just met someone I am really into. I do it when we cuddle too...he thinks it's funny and I kept laughing saying Sorry! I don't know why I keep doing that! It was a bit embarassing! LOL I guess now I know why ;-) | |

| What do you do when you like someone? Posted: 7/23/2008 11:17:42 AM | | I tell them all about me, and hide nothing. It is VERY rare for me to open up to anyone but when I do, that means I want them!! :) | |

| What do you do when you like someone? Posted: 7/25/2008 10:28:04 AM | Me? I'm usually shy around the person and if I get a good feeling about them, then I start to loosen up. For me, this is where the attraction part comes in. Let's just say I've got my eye on somebody from here and yeah, there's something there. I just have to wait and see what happens. But God, would I love to jump his bones!  | |

| What do you do when you like someone? Posted: 8/19/2008 8:42:58 AM | | when i am really into someone i am very affectionate. i will put my arm through his when we walk. get very close and cuddle all the time. when i talk its all questions about him and compliments. i also express strictly positive thoughts. when at home i give him a backrub and am open for anything he likes. | |

| What do you do when you like someone? Posted: 8/19/2008 8:50:39 AM | I start acting like I'm 16 again. Get tongue tied and giggle alot. Touch their shoulder and giggle some more. I'm sure they think I'm a complete idiot............... | |

| What do you do when you like someone? Posted: 8/19/2008 8:50:40 AM | | If it's a romantic interest I can be a bit shy at first-thinking decisively before I speak-try to put my best foot forward and try not to blush a lot. If it's just a social situation and I know the person I'm pretty easy-going and talkative-sometimes to a fault. | |

| What do you do when you like someone? Posted: 8/19/2008 9:29:47 AM | Well, this seems to vary depending on my intentions!
I used to get overly self aware, not know how long I should look at them or where, not know how to sit, stand or put my hands, get all clumsy, not be able to think of anything to say...
Then I went through a phase of being happy to have a casual relationship, and part of the attraction was that I found it quite empowering, I could flirt really well, boldly and pretty successfully!
I've been out of that phase again for a while and have found that I've slipped right back in to clumsy, shy and mute around men I like and I can tell you, it doesn't impress!..
How annoying!!! | |

First of my face turns beet red if I like a guy. I speak louder, and faster and my heart starts thumping. I start to notice everything about the guy, how his hair looks, the color of his eyes, moles or scars, or lines on his face, how he dresses, the way he laughs. I'll find that I can't keep my eyse off of him and will try to make frequent eye contact with him. I get pretty affectionate, I will touch is arm, or nudge him. Sometimes I might act a bit silly by throwing a french fry at him or something. It depends on the guy. I will want to tell him all kinds of things and ask him questions to find out what he thinks and what is important to him.
If I really really like him I will find myself thinking about him a lot, wondering what he's doing, thinking about the next time I will see him or hear form him. Sometimes I'llthink about what I want to say to him for the next e-mail. I think about what it would be like to kiss him and all the fun things we could do.
I can admit that my mind wants to do the typical female thing and overanalyze everything he says and does. I really try to turn off that part of my brain and I will try distracting myself by throwing myself into work, going for a long long run or hanging out with friends.
I think that if I like a guy it's pretty darn obvious, at least to me anyhow. I try to hold back a bit sometimes and let the guy make a first move, but sometimes I can't help myself LOL.
Ah don't you love the early stages of liking someone? You know just after you realized that you do and you start noticing things about them and liking them? Do you guys know what I mean? When you transition out of that friendly, polite stage into full on liking? It's kind of hard to describe I guess :) | |

| What do you do when you like someone? Posted: 8/19/2008 11:00:46 AM | I've also done the thing whereby I've been aware that the physical attraction I feel is clouding my vision of what kind of person he is and I've put distance between us on purpose - either physical distance or by being so aloof that he probably just thinks I'm too ignorant to bother with... IF he ever would that is!
I do know that's defeatist, but I dont have faith in myself to handle it sensibly... when I'm feeling stronger it doesn't happen.
There are few times when I've known someone first and THEN started fancying them. Most men I have contact with, are with someone or I know them through work. However, its definitely the best way. When it starts off based mostly on physical attraction IMO its usually setting you up for a disappointment as you start hoping they're a potential partner and can be blindly optimistic, but it has nothing to do with compatability in other ways. | |
