Even if a guy immediately realizes that a woman is flirting this way, what's an acceptable response? No matter what I try, and no matter how interested the woman seems to be, I always seem to come off as creepy.

I feel like I would have given the same response even if I knew, but it would be accompanied with anxiety.

Honestly, its pointless to try to read subtle social cues, for me at least. If I read such and such is a flirtatious cue, anything I see that even resembles it I take as a flirtatious interest and then I get really confused. I have more or less stopped bothering reading these posts because they are USELESS. I only realize a woman shows interest in me is after it has been 3 weeks. I usually realize it when I am sitting on the John and spontaneously recall the encounter and then think: "Oh I think that woman was interested in me."

When they come up and say...
"My hubby's away. Want to f**k?"

I think it differs per culture.

Here in the Netherlands I've noticed you can tell whether someone is flirting with you if they return you with a compliment.

As in;
No flirt
Me: "You are looking lovely today".
Her: "Thanks, trying my best"

Yes flirt:
Me: "You are looking lovely today".
Her: "Why thank you, you are looking handsome today too".

Secondly, since people are pretty blunt and honest here, ladies generally won't be "fake nice enough" to make you have to guess if they perhaps meant it in a flirting way.


This makes me think. I am Dutch too and i liked a guy in college. I flirted with him by slightly touching him on the shoulder or arm sometimes. I thought i was clear enough but now i am starting to doubt it...

Generally if a woman compliments my apperance in some way and hanging around me a lot I know they're flirting.
Hasn't happen very many times.

Last time, when it hit me that she was flirting with me because she was atracted to me, I asked her out on the spot and she said yes.
She said something along the lines of "You have really pretty eyes."
Looking back on it she was also probably giving me 'the look', but I did'nt really notice that so much as the compliment.
I almost did a double take when I realize she was saying it because she was attracted to me.

To be fair, I think one of my friends mentioned that she thought the young lady was attracted to me previously, but I didn't really believe her until I heard the compliment.

I get told that "Pretty eyes" thing all the time, because my eyes are what stands out the most on my face. It doesn't necessarily mean they are flirting or that they like you, sometimes it's just them pointing out a feature about you they like or because they don't find anything else about you attractive. So whenever I get told this, I say "thanks" and move on. I often get my looks compared to Mac Miller which sorta annoys me cause I don't like his music.

The best advice I can give for if a girl likes you is look at their pupils. If they are large, they either are really into you or hate the s**t out of you. If they are small, usually that means she isn't interested or just wants to be friends.

I try to avoid being caught looking at women, i feel like a creep. plus if I find them pretty then they out of my league, anyways if you caught a guy looking at you wouldn't you think its creepy and be upset?

Oh, it's easy. Pretty obvious too. Even easier if you know the pack theory. Since the two genders are stressed around each other and therefore live in separate packs, if they're doing this, they'll do anything for you. If it's a girl you don't really know and she touches you purposely, looks at you a lot and smiles, is kind of embarrassed around you, treats her own family like s**t to look strong to you and smiles lovingly at you. Let's say you're going behind a corner somewhere. Then a girl hiding behind her mother's back and both of them purposely looking where you went and all that time looking at you. The girl smiling and giggling of course. Maybe two girls talking and occasionally sending suggestive glances at you. Or just lots of eye contact accompanied by smiling. Especially if her friend is hiding behind a wall, also looking at you the same way. Or on the internet, you just met her, she's asking your name, where you live (but not too specifically), what you like. Just randomly starting to when you've just met her. But they musn't be too confident around you. Can't really remember anything else. Perhaps when they're just generally humble towards you. But remember that they musn't be too confident while doing it. It must even be kind of obvious that they're shy. Accompanied by a hopeful face. If they're ACTUALLY in love, they're not jealous and are willing to be happy with other girls being involved. Yes, they can be happy like this. Or when they're drunk, riding their boat, first time they've ever seen you is from there, you're at shore, they're quite distant from you and they call for you intstead of one of their friends that was just there. This should give you a good picture.

Story of my life :lol: There's this woman who's quite good looking who works at the gym I go to. One of the other workers (who I worked with years ago) mentioned to me twice that she's single. He also steered a conversation we were having about my breakup to include her (to let her know I was single too I presume). I've also noticed that when she is working, over 90% of the time she is working DIRECTLY in my line of sight to the point I could not miss her if I tried. I went back another time and she did it AGAIN and she was even flirting with me when I was hanging around near the desk at closing.

I still never caught on until recently. Haven't seen her in a couple of weeks but she likely moved on because I was "not interested" in her eyes. I'll eventually catch on before its too late.

Some years ago PBS had a documentary on body language and sexual attraction. They mentioned the above two. Another one that kind of goes along with hair play is tilting the head to one side to expose a bit of neck. That move is often preceded by a flip of the hair.

My experience in photography is that whether a lady tilts her head slightly (like 1 or 2 inches) to one side can often make the difference between a headshot for social media / dating or a headshot for professional business use. Similarly, if when talking with a lady I start to get the giggly head tilt I begin to suspect some personal interest.

Who cares, the two genders are meant to reproduce. It's only natural for you to. It doesn't make you a creep. I do it all the time if I'm interested. And even if I'm not sometimes.

Is a sign a a woman is interested if they ask the question: "do you have a girlfriend?"
