There won't be a next time. I'm never going to see her again.

As for having something like that happen again with someone else, not likely. This was probably a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I have the same problem... A girl I know usually hugs me and holds my hand a lot but I get the feeling she does that to everyone and isn't actually interested in me...
Also thinking about it now, I met a girl at the bar this weekend who was talking to me quite a bit and would put her arm on me. She may have been interested but at the time I was completely oblivious.

Well, it might still do the trick. Ya never know.

When I was 5, I called my crush, Scott M, a Stinky Butthead, and it definitely got his attention. Wonder if it would work now?

Is this what you dreamt last night?

I turn to look at him like this, http://www.pinterest.com/pin/311381761706576998/, then flutter my lashes, and gently turn away all the while thinking that I look this hot because it helps.

It usually works on the ones that seem to be interested in me already.

this is why you need to be constantly alert, and willing to push the envelope a bit, if you are in a position to do so. you never know what will happen.

I'm really dumb when it comes to indicators, and I'd rather err on the side of caution than risk creating an awkward situation. Especially at work, or other places where I'd see them regularly. My unstable lifestyle has kept me from taking those kinds of risks.

Someone I dated last year told me that she's been waiting for me to ask her out. I first met her 7 years ago. That's a long time to wonder if someone's interested or not. I wish I had better read and "confirm" skills.

She should have said something to you (Nice tie...Hey, Bob, wanna join us after work?)...
sounds like she wasn't doing 'anything'!

A lot of it is in body language or how they talk to you...if they're trying to keep your attention, the easiest and most obvious thing to notice is her grabbing your arm or putting her hand on your thigh while talking. Any of that is a dead giveaway and usually gets combined with smiles and "big eyes" being locked on to you.

Easier yet, in a social setting...I usually have somebody just randomly grab on to me and drag me off to dance or whatever; that, or they'll touch my shoulder while walking by and do the whole "hey, follow me" thing with their face when I look back.

It's all pretty obvious if coming from somebody who isn't extremely shy and introverted. Don't worry too much and just have fun.
