How do you know a Woman is Interested in you ?

My philosophy is if I think she's interested (i.e. my instincts are telling me this) then she probably is. It means I've picked up on her non verbal cues which OP has detailed above quite well.

However simply by assuming attraction, I've generated this dynamic. Not always of course, lol, but what I mean is better to dive in and find out than to wait for her to send cues, if they're not there.

Finally, sometimes absence of nonverbal cues mean nothing, some girls are just awkward or nervous or shy. So when in doubt the kiss test is the best way to know for sure. Always a harmless kiss, nothing forceful of course. If she's not down, I just laugh it off and say "I read you wrong" and move on - we can always be friends.

 

Ok, expert at flirting. I can help you here:

#1 - I laugh. If you have a woman laughing with you, even subtlety, great sign.
#2 - She asks you questions about what you do, where you’re from, where you work. That’s a sign I want to talk with you because you are interesting and I’m interested.
#3 - Any touch. Trust me, women will NOT touch you if they are not interested. It’ll be subtle and natural. Anything like you have a hair on your shirt, or I like you watch can I see it (and she touches your wrist)? One guy took his watch off and handed it to me... Clueless. Get the hints. She want to touch you not your stupid watch! If my finger touches your body in any way under any excuse, good sign. No, I’m not going to grab your crotch so look for more subtle clues. If I do grab your crotch, plan on exchanging money along with body fluids.
#4 - I corner you away from my girlfriends or your friends. No need for competition. I want your attention.
#5 - She compliments you more than once. There’s a difference between polite and interested. Anything from your funny, great story, your family sounds nice too, I like your jacket. Where’s it from?

Let’s be clear, none of these mean she wants to go home with you. Am I clear. Do not attempt to touch me if I touch you. Do not say, I’d like to get some tonight. Please don’t tell me how great you are in bed (yes, some guy did that. Obviously, I walked away). All of these clues mean, you have a chance, don’t blow it.

Play the game, we love to flirt and make sure you are interested. Women do not like rejection any more than you do. In fact, it’s even harder on us. We also do not like awkward or dangerous situations. So please, stay interested but not desperate or uninterested. Fine line between them.

 

Thank you for the hints. My dating experience in the dating game was much different. I was so frightened of causing an enbarrasing inter-action that I was terrified an a social gathering. My experiences begin with thank God for Jewish Women. I met at least three women with whom I made eye contact and when she saw me I looked away in a panic. In each case the lady got up and came over and started a conversation, like this is a nice place isn't it. The Ice was broken and each of them became good friends. I married the last one.

 

The law of numbers is that almost all women are bombarded with flirts, invitations, come-ons, phone numbers, etc. They might not have the available energy and attention span to seek out some other guy.
