For the guys to answer

[tinkerbell]

Hey all the guys out there. I have a question for you. What kind of clues will a guy give that he likes you? You know there is that stage where both the guy and the girl don't want to be too obvious, yet they do want to give some clues. It's hard for us girls to tell if the guy is just being nice or if there are feelings behind what he does. How can we tell?

Well, coming from someone you're own age there's several things I used to notice myself do without even thinking:

We stare...
I used to find myself staring. Without even knowing. I would be thinking about something else, and looking in the person and most of the time I wasn't even thinking about her. It was like I was studying her face whilst going through yestedays assingment. As soon as she turned her head to me, I'd turn away. So if when you see a guy turning his head quickly when you look at him, he's normally either attracted, or you have a big spot on your nose

We try and be around the girl as much as possible...
For example, If you're sitting on one side of the room, we will either sit opposite, to get a good view, or 2/3 seats away.

We make more jokes than usual...
Well I do anyway

Hope this helps, though keep in mind this comes from an extremely shy guy

 

[tinkerbell]

thanks RabidYeti and it's good that you're shy, the guy I am thinking about is kind of shy too.

 

[yonderboy]

im a shy guy too.. when i like a girl, before i get the guts to be too obvious about it, you can usually find me conveniently hovering around her a lot, in the same room or general area of the room. i'll take every opportunity to stand or sit facing her...

it wont be too long before i make a move, though


peace and love

 

[ummidrinkcherrycoke]

if I like a girl I ask'em out........... is that too obvious

 

[tinkerbell]

Most guys aren't bold enough to do that right off.

Staring, drooling, and incoherence are usually pretty good signs the guy likes you.

Eventually, you'll know - we guys really aren't that good at keeping a secret! With some of us, though, it takes a number of bumbles and stumbles to get it straight, and time to understand who we really are and to know that although women are fascinating and different, there are more fearsome things than saying "hi" and getting to know someone!

yeah most guys are pretty obvious. here's a little test though: let something slip wherein you need help with something and if he jumps at the chance then BINGO!!
I saw an article in the paper today about some reasearch done at a university where it showed that men's ability to think clearly and intelligently decreases around attractive women!

Must have taken just tons of research it took to show that!

for me: talking talking talking and admiring your beauty from a distance.

Those are old news, but I'd like a link if the paper is on the net.

 

[Buskanaka]

sorry don't have one, it was just a normal newspaper. the research also showed that women's ability to think rationally decreased while shopping

Yeah, esp. the incoherence part. Seriously.

Ha, I resembled that remark once

Here is what I do when I like a girl (note I am very shy too)

1) Smile at her shyly a lot of the time without saying anything whenever I see her
2) Hang on to the end of conversations, such that she always has to end the conversation, with a inane grin and staring at her beauty with wonder. If I stumble and become nervous this is another sign I like a girl. Extremely good looking girls often intimidate me.
3) Turn away when she catches me looking at her from a distance, looking slightly embarassed

My best advice for you, for making a shy guy make a move, is to make it obvious to him you like him. e.g. slip into the conversation that you don't have a boyfriend, compliment him and laugh at his jokes, and act coquettish (blush, act shy yourself, and give him the doe-eyed look). Once a shy guy is sure you like him he will make a move. A lot of the reason they hesitate is that they think things like: I bet she has a boyfriend, why would an attractive outgoing girl like her like me, maybe she will be offended if I ask her out.

I know this conversation has been going on for 2 pages already and I haven't read anything but this beginning part. But for me, I'm just straight forward, no games, gimmicks, tricks (they're for kids anyway) or anything.

"I like you, you like me, everything seems to be cool, let's date" Obviously there are a lot more details there like prayer, advice and so on, but basicly that's how it works for me, no sense in making anyone feel insecure or not sure how I feel, everyone else is just a grear friend to love and encourage the same.
