Men: how good are you at sensing when a woman isn't into you?

[LuckyM]

If she looks at her watch or cell or clock on the wall, NO

If she doesn't look you right in the eye, NO.

If she fidgets around or answers in short quips, NO.

Ditto if she talks about her self only or if she will only talk about you, not herself.

If she makes flimsy excuses for why she is busy. One girl I knew told me how she goes skiing every weekend, despite no snow on the ground.

maybe she was going to Vail, CO

There was a study a few years ago where men were shown various pictures of women. The study found that the more attractive a woman was, the more likely the man felt it was that the women would be attracted to them. The men in the study read the woman's attractiveness as the women being receptive. In a nutshell, the logic was if they have big boobs, they must be receptive to men.

She wasn't going to Colorado. Rather Illinois and Wisconsin, and even with snow making machines, it was a rotten excuse.

 

Another woman told me that she couldn't possibly go to a concert with me because she was too tired. She admitted later than she went skiing instead!

 

Both of them were from online date sites. It was no loss.

Historically my second date to relationship ratio was amazingly accurate so I'd say OK. A couple of bobbles, yes, usually where I chose to ignore my sixth sense about such matters. However, most of my experience came long prior to the internet. Just a smidge occurred after the advent of online dating. If anything, in that era, I had to choose among women who demonstrated they did like me. However, why someone likes someone can be an important factor too

Body language my friend, body language. Most women don't willingly give cues, you have to be the one who pays attention to her and what her body language is telling you. There's all kinds of free info on the net about body language on dates. Honestly some of it is BS but a lot of it is pretty accurate, learn the signs. If you can't pick up on subtle cues or body language (some people just don't have that awareness, especially when nervous) then here's one strategy...find an activity you are both interested in and suggest the 2 of you go do it sometime soon. If she seems genuinely excited then there's a good chance she is enjoying her time with you. If she makes excuses or is hesitant to say yes or no, then she is probably trying to think of a nice way to say no or avoid the topic of going out again. This is a way of testing the water without going straight out and asking for a second date, risking an ego shattering rejection.
