If a woman is into you......Page 1 of 4    (1, 2, 3, 4)
will she make any moves? or is it possible she may be shy, introverted, heartbroken, etc.? What moves should i look for? Recently, i dated this woman (47) and she seemed aloof. We went out 3 times and although she continues to text, her body language and such seem to indicate no romantic interest. Am i in the friend-zone forever?

If she has the confidence yes.


or is it possible she may be shy, introverted, heartbroken, etc.?

It's possible and it's possible she's not interested.


What moves should i look for?

Body language. Flirting.


Recently, i dated this woman (47) and she seemed aloof.

Ok


Am i in the friend-zone forever?

Only one way to find out.

if a woman is into you (early on ) she will say yes to all of your advances on spending time with her...

she'll answer your calls

she'll respond to your texts

Some people just aren't very sexy. If you can't read her, you can either just wait it out and see what happens or ask her how she is enjoying the date with you.

Quick question: Why do you have a main profile pic which features a drop dead gorgeous hottie?

I doubt this is the "friend-zone", more likely the "entertain me-zone"

If her body language is negative, you are filler until she finds someone she likes better.

I never make the first move. But I might befriend someone I like and try to get to know them or drop hints.

hmmmm... certainly possible that she lacks confidence. How does she seem otherwise? has she been engaging and interested, actively listening and also responding, in conversation with you while you were on your dates? Does she initiate any contact? I've heard tale that some women don't really give good body language cues (at least consciously) when they are interested in more physical contact. Not being one of those myself, I can't quite relate... But my guess is that if she HAS been very personable, engaging, etc. and is asking open ended questions, etc. and/or has mentioned things she wants in a future relationship (or asked your views on same), she may be interested but just not the kind of woman to initiate physical contact.

Decide if a woman like that is o.k. with you, and if it/she is, just ask her directly or try to hold her hand or kiss her. You will soon have the answer to your question.

If her body language says she is not into you, she is not into you. Have you made any moves, that will soon tell you, one way or another. If a woman is feeling it, she will let you know one way or another. At 47 she has been married more than likely and would not be shy surely. As for heartbreak, we have all had it and have you not talked about your lives at all?

I think most women in that age group tend to be more "old school" and prefer that the gentlemen make the "moves". Have YOU made a move, or are you waiting for her to?

I hate these generalized questions that ask for blanket answers about all of a certain gender. SOME women will make a move, SOME women are too shy, SOME women are heart-broken, SOME women have put you in the friend-zone......get it? You just can't say that, because she does a, b and g, it means this and only this. The only ones who really know what's going on in your specific situation is you and the lady. You're just going to have to communicate with her and figure it out.

This was exactly what I was going to say. She may be getting mixed signals from your end as well. I've been there. Not sure how the guy is feeling or if he's really into me so I'm certainly not going to try anything. Communication, communication!!! When in doubt ask or don't.

not always.

however, if a woman is into you...
and you know it...
you should make YOUR move.

It's bad form to keep her waiting.

We MEN have to make the first move a lot, which means we have to take all the risks as far as looking like a creep, or worse. I just read an article that mentioned that, plus other things men have to endure, yet get no credit for, but I digress.

I haven't had a problem yet, but I often make the first move. I move in for the kiss, most of the way, and let them come the rest. It works.

Great advice, Stones... the "Hitch Rule" (remember that movie about the male match-maker?): move in 90% of the distance. Let them come the other 10%.

Really depends tbh.

Even in my younger generation many people will still advise women never to make the first move. Heard that from some women. That they'd never make the first move no matter how much they liked someone because thats the mans ''Jobs''. So thats another possibility as well as ofcourse she may be shy and that may be why she wont make a first move.

But then plenty of women are happy to make a first move also if you give them enough indication that you'd be receptive. No one likes to be rejected no matter how many times we've done it, so the more hints you can give to let them know you'd not reject them if they did make a move the more comfortable and confident they will be to make that move.

Good points all. In cost-benefit terms, what's worse: the humiliation of rejection, or failure to mate? For men, it's less costly to overestimate a woman's interest. Women do their part by flirting.

If a woman is into you......will she make any moves?

Yes.
If any human being is "interested" in another human being they will make some sort of "move."
There is no guarantee that you will be able to understand or know what that "move" is.
To some, it's going to be smiling.
To others it's going to be grabbing the other persons ass.
To even others it's going to be implying they are willing to give you their phone number.
There isn't a set of "moves" that everyone follows or is comfortable with.
People move according to who they are, not how you believe they should to make sure to communicate their intentions according to how you perceive the world.


or is it possible she may be shy, introverted, heartbroken, etc.?

Yes.
It's possible.
It's possible she isn't making a move, but you interpret something she did as making a move because to you it's a move but to her it's a nervous tic.


What moves should i look for?

The moves you should look for are your own.
Figure out your own moves, make them, and then figure out how they respond to them.


Am i in the friend-zone forever?

Who says you are a friend? Maybe you are just some guy that buys her dinner.

Yes, she will, but if she is a bit shy you have to have your eyes open. I tend to be pretty dense to the signals myself.

OP- If she continues to text and call you, she is interested. If she agreed to see you 3 times, she's interested. She sounds like me. All of my ex boyfriends have told me that I acted like I wasn't interested in them in the beginning. They couldn't read me. I"m a bit shy with guys when I first meet them, so a guy has to be really confident and outgoing to date me because a shy guy will get no where. Look for signs. Get into her personal space and see how she responds. That's a good indication. She is showing you interest, now it's ur move.

If you can't figure out if she's into you, then she isn't. You can always tell from a kiss. If she kisses you and just sort of ``melts,'' she's into you. If you get a peck on the lips or cheek, you've been friend zoned.

she isnt interested in you she is just killing time. If she was interested in you she would be showing signs and being affectionate to you. Tell her your looking for a girlfriend not a friend and see what she says

Will she make any moves?
It all depends on the level of comfort and trust you've developed.
Even if she has confidence or not she will eventually give you signs
and you should know when to spot them.

What moves should I look for?
Body language signs are usually unconciou, check for the voice tone as well.
Know 90% of what she's communicating is not coming out of her mouth.

Am I in the friend-zone forever?
She might find you interesting but not enough as a potential mate.
but perhaps a great friend, so obviously she will not want to lose that.
You must evolve yourself to a point where you can provide AT LEAST
a few of the qualities most women are looking to highly increase your
changes, in other other words... stepping out of the average circle.
