Its a common thing for men to mistake a girl being friendly for interest on her part. But what I wanna ask girls in this forum is how they personally act differently when they are interested/attracted to a guy vs just being friendly with the guy?

When women are attracted to you, they'll go out of their way to see you.

They'll go out of their way to let you see them.

The'll try to hang around your environment whether covertly or overtly.

 

They'll give you body language cues.

 

When women are friendly to you, they dont do any of those things. Easy

hah I was going to say that. I think that makes sense, but I ve had girls who did go out of their way to talk and be around me,, but when I asked them out they claimed to have boyfriends. :confused:

 

Now either a lot of girls who in a relationship still have a habit of hitting on other men or these girls were bull****ing me and just weren't interested.

Girls who are in relationships can still be attracted to guys, and show it, and not even know it,

Attraction is not a choice

come on you are telling me a girl is unaware of her attraction to a guy and is totally oblivious that she's leading him on?

 

Sounds way to convenient an excuse for girls.

I'm saying that girls can be attracted to guys, and they may be in other relationships or something like that, or for whateer reason, they're not able to get into a relationship with a guy that theye attracted to.

 

Its the same thing like being atracted to a woman that is so feminine, that you cant help but be attracted to her, but for whatever reason, you cant act on it.

Honestly, not too sure if i act differently, I will most likely just chat to him and learn more about him and bite the bullet and ask him out or ask if he is single. Depending on the guy im interested in, sometimes I can become extremely awkward, shy or withdrawn initially.

Much as it galls me to admit it. I blush very easily around guys I fancy in a big way and I go very giggly... and I babble... Like a blinkin' teenager... Not attractive.

 

While fighting this I will be looking at his mouth then after realising I am looking at his mouth will try to look else where, usually down because if I go to look at eyes then I start blushing again, but down obviously leads to groin and I blush again... You see the quandary...

 

So I will probably end up being a bit aloof but with a smile on my face paying attention to what he is saying and questioning him to figure out who he is and find out if he is still as attractive as my eyes have said.

 

Its amazing how many really good looking chaps lose their "attraction" when they open their mouths...

I don't touch as much when I'm being friendly & I make sure to say things that make it clear like: "I'm glad we're friends"; or "you should ask out that girl over there."

i dont know if i act differently really...i feel awkward inside i am hoping it doesnt show.....if i am truly interested in a guy i let them know straight up to avoid any sort of miscommunication......i am actually loathe to ask a guy out......i prefer a guy ask me......i have only in my life....twice told guys i like them more than a friend...i havent felt the desire to let guys know i am attracted.......guys ask me out if i feel anything i say yes......

 

once i said something was with my ex of fifteen years a month or two after he actually told me of his feelings for me by randomly kissing me it was a heart felt kiss.......ok not so random it was new years ...we were together.....he stayed home with me instead of partying....and he kissed me on the stroke of midnight..........another recently...so he literally moved first.

 

the other guy i told i liked him more than a friend rather early which sort of came out wrong..yep creeped him out.......i was really nervous......otherwise guys make the move i say yes or no....that show they know is if i accept a date.....

 

in saying that ....if a woman truly "likes" you will know.....because she will tell you normally....or it will be really obvious.......she will say yes if you ask her on a date.......deb

I can be quite flirty at the best of times (I'm Italian afterall ;)) regardless if I see you as a friend or more BUT if I'm in to you and want you to KNOW it, I'm all about body language, eye contact and I tend to be much more affectionate in terms of finding reasons to (appropriately) touch you :)

If I'm interested in someone, I will find myself laughing at his jokes a little louder and more frequently. I will giggle and fidget. I'll 'accidentally' brush against him or touch his arm or knee (while at the same time laughing at his oh so funny and clever joke). Direct and prolonged eye contact and maybe a quick body scan. Lots of smiles.

 

If I'm just being friendly I do still smile a lot but won't hold a long gaze or find any reason to touch at all. In fact I am very reserved so if I am attracted to someone I lose some of that reservation and 'close the space' I'd create for a 'friend'.

The clearest sign? I say yes when someone I'm interested in asks me on a date. I won't date a guy I'm not interested in.

 

You're best bet is to put out feelers by flirting, then point-blank ask the person out. A guy who isn't afraid of rejection is very appealing. On the other hand, a guy who is too timid to ask me out when he's attracted to me, is a total turn-off. It is what it is.

 

Other potential signs:

 

He gets prioritized. Say I'm on a phone call, and he calls. I'll end the call and take his. Just a friend? I'll call back or text once I'm free. As long as he plans ahead and is respectful of my time, I'll prioritize spending time with a guy I'm interested in over time with my friends. If he typically contacts me at certain times of the day, I make sure I'm available then.

 

I don't spontaneously talk about other guys with him. EVER. I don't want him accidentally thinking I'm not available or that I might be interested in someone else. I don't want to cause him to hesitate about asking me out.

 

If we're in a group, I tend to be next to him. That's generally a very consistent sign among women. If every time you stand next to a woman, she somehow manages to move elsewhere in the group, she's not interested in you romantically.
