suz Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 [COLOR=black]I'm new to the single scene and have my eye on someone. I think he is interested...but he teases me. In our group I get the majority of his attention in a positive way too. He goes out of his way to compliment me and make fun of me. He's sarcastic by nature and so am I. We go back and forth with digs (that seem to be flirting??) on each other, all the while smiling and making great eye contact. I've looked around and found that WOMEN do this to men but didn't see anything about men teasing. I haven't mentioned this to anyone but a friend of mine noticed this after a few weeks and commented today that he seems to tease me a lot. I just blew it off. I really can't tell if he likes me or really doesn’t like me. I'm clueless! He's kind of the shy nerdy (but knows he's smart and put together) type if that helps at all.[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]Thanks for any insight![/COLOR] [COLOR=black]suz[/COLOR]
Author suz Posted August 1, 2007 Author Posted August 1, 2007 Hell yes it's hot! I thought I was just enjoying something that was all in my head. It's kind of odd to me that adults do this too! I guess attraction hasn't changed all that much since I was a kid. =) So do I just keep playing along? Thanks! Other feedback is helpful too! suz
Trialbyfire Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Consider it the grown up version of dipping your pigtail into the inkwell. Relax and enjoy it.
Starry-eyed Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Yes, some adult men tease women they are interested in. Particularly if you also get his attention in a positive way and the teasing isn't truly negative or hurtful and there is eye contact and smiling, it seems to be his way of flirting with you. Keep playing along if you're enjoying it. Depending on how long this has been going on, perhaps there is a way to take things further, like going out with him alone.
Trialbyfire Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 inkwell? You're showing your age TBF Haha...I can honestly say that inkwells were before my time. The boys I knew would chase me around with spiders and do all kinds of strange things. I find this hasn't changed much over the years.
playabum17 Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Yes, they do tease and have fun with you. Me especially because I have a sense of humor and am sarcastic myself so it's a mutual teasing.
Author suz Posted August 2, 2007 Author Posted August 2, 2007 Thanks everyone! I’m still surprised but I believe you. :-D
fatal2myself Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 as my dad used to say "jokes are all a guy's got to let his best shine through but not get taken seriously" now i didn't trust my dad on much, but when it came to guys, no one had better advice!
