How to tell a guy is attracted to you? (65)

1 Name: Secret Admirer : 2006-05-04 22:53 ID:6ePgztGo

How do you tell a guy is attracted to you or just being nice and friendly? I'm a terribly shy girl, so I often blush and look away when a guy even looks at me... so any advice whatsoever would be much appreciated.

If you've never spoken to the person then the only thing he can like you for is your looks. If you are interested in someone you should try to spark up a conversation to get to know each other better. I'm sure there are lots of guys that can like a girl for just her looks but I think the crowd here (and probably quite a few men in the real world too) need something more than that. Even if you're not hot you can easily charm someone with a great personality and personally I think a decent looking girl with a nice personality and cool interests is way better than a gorgeous airheaded girl

If he's stalking you and holding up a stereo outside of your bedroom window, he's probably attracted to you.

Either that, or he's your crazy uncle Bob. You've got to do something about that guy.

Learn to relate to guys on a friendly basis, and don't see them all as potential dates. We all hear about guys who have that mindset.

I used to be like you too. Infact, I still blush easily when I'm being teased, but at least I don't feel awkward when talking to guys now. I think the best advice is to make guys aware of your presence instead of waiting for the signs. By this I don't mean undergo a complete makeover, but at least start talking to guys and finding some common points. I find that talking about things they're interested in catches their attention especially. Make sure you have your own opinion though, rather than laughing aimlessly at whatever they're saying, otherwise you'll make yourself out to be a bore.

some guys can't really talk when they see a girl..
if they are willing to say something they are stuttering. or their voice is just changing from normal.(like getting really high)

uhm..they are looking at you.. like whenever your around and just gazing in your eyes. or fast turn away when you look back..

they probably have more info bout you, than you can think of :P

(telephone, mobile, adress,a lot of pics bout you.. but you won'tfind out ;) )

but I guess most boys can get control over their feelings not to show you anything unless they think it's right.
they should be interested in you though..

There is so much shit going on that there's no way to tell how people will react if they're interested in you. People are not predictable machines. Some dudes are so shy that they'd never even act interested in you even if they had a huge crush. Some are such the opposite that they'd seem to be flirting even if they wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole.

It's all about getting over your own neurosises and just asking.

Fuck that. I'm going to keep it all in and die a lonely bitter old man.

Yeah... I, for one, have done both.

Your not a mind reader.. Dont try to tell if a guy likes you because everyone is diffrent sometimes they'l tell you sometimes they wont it's pretty extraneous but, go by your feelings most of the time you can tell if they like you, the guy your interested in, he will give you many hints. The look in there eyes, touch, smile. These are good signs but dont force youurself on him.
I'm only a 14year old but go by my advice

30 Name: Secret Admirer : 2007-11-15 04:44 ID:VZ7Qnwo2

Yeah that's pretty true. It really depends on the guy and his personality. Some guys are really obvious about their intentions (whether purposely or not), where as other guys are impossible to read. I personally like the hard to read guys, because you don't exactly know where you stand with them. In my experience, they are often more perceptive of your feelings. The easy to read ones on the other hand are quite often hopeless romantics who are bad at reading others.

Guys are pretty easy. Make a judgement on wether you're in the same league, appearance-wise. If you are and if you're interested, find out if he has a girlfriend. If he does not, get to know him. Once you know him, and unless he has a hueg fucking crush on someone else, it's already settled. Just make a little push and he's done for, in case he's too shy to make one himself.

Guys are more happy to be with someone at all and cares less about who it is. They will start to like you for what you are, instead of chasing after some preset idea of the ideal woman.

32 Name: ... : 2007-11-18 05:58 ID:5t+K74sb

If he looks over at you in class, tries to talk to you, heart rate increases when he wants to talk with you, tries to contact you through any way he can, presumes to be shy around you, he probably likes you.

33 Name: Secret Admirer : 2007-11-19 08:26 ID:bn+U2CqO

>heart rate increases when he wants to talk with you

how can you tell?

34 Name: Secret Admirer : 2007-11-19 17:01 ID:b/ZKymO9

When mine are going off, they're audible.

That aside, I think the easiest way to find out if a guy likes you is to find an excuse to touch him. Find a way to "accidentally" touch his arm. If he doesn't move away, or if he moves away only as a reflex and then accepts it, then he likes you. If at the same time his pupils dilate to the size of marbles, then he likes you a lot.

The pupils are probably better since it's harder to fake it or prevent it.

Just walk up to them and feel their pulse on their neck. If they ask what you're doing, just say, "Checking to see if you're dead."

37 Name: Secret Admirer : 2007-11-20 04:31 ID:VZ7Qnwo2

>>35
Pupils dilating? I didn't know that was noticeable...
I spose you could only tell with blue-eyed guys..

38 Name: Secret Admirer : 2007-11-20 06:16 ID:iBfRgSBb

Pupils are psychology 101. They tell you a lot about whats going on in the mind.

39 Name: Secret Admirer : 2007-11-20 11:42 ID:tqDrOpVD

Well to be fair, yeah, you can't see the pupils if their eyes are black or dark brown. Which rules out this strategy for myself as those happen to be the eye colours I find hot.

this is relevant to my interest. explain please.

41 Name: Secret Admirer : 2007-11-20 21:20 ID:b/ZKymO9

>>40

I think in terms of attraction, if you see somebody you like/love your pupils get bigger. They also do this in the dark, which is partly why places like bars are darker, so people's eyes get bigger and they are in the mood for meeting romantic partners (and buy drinks)

Well it's like the feeling is associated with your eyes getting bigger. It's like if you smile, you can make yourself feel happier just because its a motion associated unconsciously with being happy.

47 Name: Secret Admirer : 2007-11-21 20:12 ID:JCHWSlT9

>>46
got it. makes some sense now.

48 Name: SCG : 2007-11-28 09:58 ID:Ll5+xC1W

the best ways to tell someone is attracted:-
Raises there chin so you can see more of there throat
Eyes dialate.
Stares at you(Including mutual staring).
Blinks at a similar rate to you.
Draws shoulders back, may include hands on hips in pockets etc.
tries to make you smile/smiles when you do.
Bites there lower lip.
If they feel intimadated, drawing feet closer together. (Including shy)
Mimicing your reactions.
Quick to react to when you are speaking to them.

These seem to work whether male or female. (Straight or Gay Attraction)

If someone is shy when they are around you this is a good sign :)

Good Luck

Also one thing about lips is that if they look at your lips and have their mouth slightly open (when not talking) it's indicative that they would like to/are thinking about kissing you.

Eyes dilate? That's absolutely stupid. Your pupils dilate or contract in response to light, some drugs, and nothing else. Emotion has nothing at all to do with it.

But going out of their way to make extensive eye contact, or looking at you when you're looking away, are often signs of attraction.

Untrue.

52 Name: Secret Admirer : 2007-11-30 10:28 ID:VZ7Qnwo2

>>50

Emotion has a lot to do with it. When you're excited (ie: object of your affection is infront of you), your sympathetic nervous system (which deals with stressful situations) takes over. As a result, one of the automatic reactions would be the dilation of the pupils. On the other hand, when you're bored, laidback or relaxed, the parasympathetic nervous system takes over, and pupils will contract.

53 Name: person : 2008-02-18 17:03 ID:wSgGDS4c

Actually, it can be based upon emotion. When you look at someone you love your pupils will dialate. And when you look at someone you hate, they will dialate also. Someone also said you won't be able to tell with brown or black eyes, well, you can if you look hard. You just have to look harder than normal.

I guess you never heard about how hormones are natural drugs. Calling something absolutely stupid and saying even more stupid things is... well... nevermind.

Adrenaline, do you know what it is? Amongst so many others.

Without even going to what >>52 is talking about, the chemicals your body naturally produces will lead to such reactions. Also, increased sweating and heart rate, increased focus, rate of thinking, and such.

And the natural response to emotions is secretion of such substances.

64 Name: Secret Admirer : 2009-08-04 04:46 ID:zzITJO1w

is he interested if he comes to my place and we kiss.. or is he just another lurker?

65 Name: Secret Admirer : 2009-08-04 19:51 ID:Heaven

>>64

I have no idea whether the boy contributes to any forums, anonymously or not, or if he just reads threads as you imply...
But kissing is generally a good 'tell' that a person digs you.
