When you meet someone for the first time, How do you know they are interested in you and what kind of body language do they give off??

What are the signs and hints?? inquiring minds want to know??

For me I would have to say the eye contact and jesters of the hands and touching one another!

Come one come all and tell us your thoughts...

I know this, its easier for a woman to read a man, then it is for a man to read a woman.

Id have to go with the eyes myself.

loves2giggle, please send me an email (I can't send one to you - you have all those restrictions).

I can tell when someone is interested by their gestures and eye contact - specifically, they will hold my gaze longer than, say, a friendly or casual acquaintance would. Similarly, they would casually touch me, in simple ways, like on the arm, but breaking that barrier and finding a reason to touch is always a nice sign. It's usually pretty easy to tell from verbal content of conversation. If someone is interested, but give no outward signs, then it's really hard to know! But, I think that if you want someone to know that you are interested in them, it's a good thing to show it as most people aren't mind readers.

I think one sign is if the other person really seems interested in what you have to say. Do they lean in to better hear you ? Do they touch your arm or shoulder when they speak to you ? And I've heard that women do the hair flip thing also. These are things I've noticed and look for.

Personally, I don't have a clue. Apparently, I can't read the signs or gestures.
What's worse is when they assume you should be able to "feel" when they are interested in you. Then, tell you that you were leading them on when all you were
doing was "feeling" them out to see if you matched. I don't liked to be pressured
into a relationship. I want the interest to come on naturally , not forced.
Go Figure!
Good Grief!

First the eyes, then the touch, then the kiss, then the bed.

Skunk12pu,

I have to agree with you that reading outhers can be hard and missleading! I know at times I have read people wrong. And I thought this post would be mighty interesting to say the least along with helping myself and others along the way in understanding the signs when someone is interested.

In search of good answers!

Once, some years ago, I met a woman whom I thought was terrific. We went out, and she was so hasty and un-warm on leaving that I was sure that she wasn't interested. A couple of weeks go by, she calls me and wants to know why I haven't gotten back to her to make other plans, so we go out again. We have a nice time, at end of the evening, she gives me a very filial, microsecond, hard-lipped peck on the lips. Well, this goes on for some time, and finally one day we were talking about something, and I - half teasing, half seriously - mentioned that we'd never made out or done any kind of "real" kissing after six weeks of seeing each other (!!! I guess I really liked her, after six weeks of the end of the night peck on the lips). She replied, "but we've only just met!"

I guess everyone has different levels of what's acceptable and what's too much and what's not enough and when it's too soon and when it's taken too long.

If I go out with someone, and I don't mean just for a look-see over a quick cup of coffee, but if we make it to having a real date and she doesn't show some kind of warmth or kiss me with any feeling by the end of the night, then I usually come away feeling that she was not terribly interested. If that's the case and I really have a gut sense that she wasn't terribly excited to be with me, I'll usually consider the matter closed and not pursue things any further.

TallFrndlyFellow,

Thanks for the info for this post! Interesting to see that we all act in different ways! And very hard to read others in order to know if the other person it attracted to you! The old sayin goes...... actions speak lowder then words but, in your case her actions were not true in what she wanted! Even though she seemed like she was NOT interested when she was.

Very interesting read! Thank for the post!

Of course there is one way that no one has come up with yet. How about just asking ?!?!? (Maybe thats too simple ?)

Well, Giggs, I will say that this particular experience was extraordinary and that, in spite of her being extremely slow to get physically affectionate, not even to mention sexually interested, she still did give many indications that she was very interested - verbally and I could just tell from her actions, once I knew her, that she really liked being with me.

But there can be few things worse than trying to get someone to go on a subsequent date when it's pretty clear that they aren't interested. I don't want to have to pull teeth or beg someone if they don't want to go out with me. If the feelings aren't there inside her then I can't will them to be there no matter how much I like her. Rebel's right, asking would solve the mystery, but sometimes I just don't want to go there and I'd instead want for her to show in some way or another that she was interested. Maybe that's my boorish male ego talking.

I grab the bull by the balls and ask.

I always ask questions when I'm curious. But not on the date....maybe if we have a few conversations after the date. Then I ask....

There's nothing better than knowing exactly where you stand right?

Some men love aggressive women, I know I do. But some men dont, they dont know what there missing.

Just being honest here. Im a fast mover. I can tell if shes interested in me if she lets me kiss her within 10 minutes of meeting her. And im not talking about one kiss, but 4 or 5 within 30 minutes and then usually something else follows. Then if it continues for days and weeks you sure nuff know then. She might only be interested in one thing. But she is interested

Jeeez Wolfie, relationships are more based on what love can be grown between two hearts.......not just SEX. I have read several post of yours in several threads and they all say the same thing......SEX. I have a lot more respect for the opposite sex and will take my time to get to know them rather than the "Wham, blam....thank you Ma'am" relationship. You still walk away empty in your soul and spirit.

JMO!

Sneaks,
You are one of a rare breed. The true gentleman. My hat is off to you. I am of the old school myself. If a member of the opposite sex is interested in me it will not be because I opened my legs on the first or even third date. If the interest in the individual is there it will be because we have taken time to know each other outside the bedroom.

I cant comment on what wolfie says seeing how I dont ever see him post.

But I will comment on this,




I have a lot more respect for the opposite sex and will take my time to get to know them rather than the "Wham, blam....thank you Ma'am" relationship.


The women im talking about are the ones who also love the "wham, blam.... thank you sir" relationship. So I am giving them respect by not falling in love and growing with our hearts. Just because you're not like this doesn't make it wrong. I think some people need to get some. While you arn't in a serious relationship it is the best time for the wham blam thank you ma'am. Being a man and going without for weeks, months, years, only leads to being grumpy all the time. Theres a time and place for everything. If I met someone I was interested in for more then just sex then yes, I would wait before we decide to do that. But if im meeting someone who im not interested in, in a loving way, but in a sexual way, ill let them know. They either pass or they accept. Just because I or they do decide to just have sex, doesn't make us any less then someone who decides to just not have sex with anyone until its the one.

I dont think to many grown adults can come on here and say they never have had a one night stand or a friends with benefits. Unless you are a Virgin, or you have a very low sex drive. JMO, I choose to live satisfied and be wild while im single. Im careful at the same time. I couldn't imagine just coming home from work everyday and getting on this computer, hoping and praying that God sends me my love soon. And just not having sex with noone until my one gets to me. I choose not to live that way. And im happy with it.

You should keep your opinion about what other men should think out of your one way thinking Wolfie (that would you be Bub'). You are no one to think every "Adult" should go out and have sex with no feelings attached. Not every Man or Woman is required to have a "Gutter Mind" mode of thinking simply because you do. It would be a mass give away of a gift that keeps giving.......STD's!
My opinion is thats dumb. But thats just my opinion.
Actually the opinion above is dumb!
While you arn't in a serious relationship it is the best time for the wham blam thank you ma'am.
Wrong again Wolfie (that woudl be you Bub'), I will save myself for the one I'll spend my life with and not some cheap act of sex!

I am so very glad that not every Male or Female on earth thinks that sex is better outside a monogamous relationship where it belongs! That's Biblical and I'll stick to that rather than screwing everything that walks.

JMO! PEACE OUT!!
