Guys, how should a girl show she's interested?

This question is for the guys. What do you like to see a girl do, or would like to see a girl do, that lets you know that she's interested in you? To you prefer subtle clues, flirty or obvious moves? What gets you interested?

Oddly enough, many guys are more interested in a lady who's NOT interested in them...one who seemingly could care less.

As for me, if she's not interested right off the bat I'll get her interested so it doesn't make much difference what she does if I'm intent on going after her.

Does this mean The Rules work for women?

Not Necessarily Do They Work

Not necessarily.

Probably wouldn't be a bestselling book if it didn't work for some women...

YOU ASK: "Does this mean The Rules work for women?"

I really don't know what "The Rules" are but if what you're asking is if women are often interested in men who seemingly aren't interested in them...the answer is yes. At least for a while. People in general go for members of the opposite sex who are aloof, unpredictable and appear to be able to live without them quite fine.

So, does this mean

that if you told a guy you wouldn't sleep with him even if he were the last man on the face of the earth that he would do anything to get into your pants?

Tony, someday I hope you learn that nobody, including you, can make a 'people, in general,' statement that is correct, except perhaps 'people, in general, breathe'.

What Tony means is that this is what he thinks and he figures everybody else thinks like him.

I think someone being a 'mystery' is stupid. I like to know a person and I like a person to know me. Plus, lots and lots of people really enjoy it when you show interest. Not clingy, desperate interest, but some interest.

Yes certain sorts of people like 'a challenge'. I haven't found many of them to be all that mature but that's just my experience. It's gamesmanship and if playing games floats your boat, fine.

On the other hand, you don't want to dump everything you think and feel on somebody right off the bat. You don't want to overwhelm or to 'fall in love' right off the bat and expect the same in return.

games are bad.....
i would look at him alot, get some eye contact....talk to him more than just a normal girl would- ask him a few questions..you can know if he wants you back by if he seems just as interested in getting to know you

I love how the thread starter said this is a question for the guys and all the girls started posting, I think that kind of proved Tony's theory.

Anyway, I understand what moimeme is saying, I like people to know me also, but I think it is also important to have a certain mystery about you and that goes for male or female.
