This is how it has worked for me. If I go to a party or meet someone through a friend and I find them to be decent looking and then they show interest in me even if it's not obvious flirting, then I think..hmm maybe. There have also been those who like me and I would not consider based on their looks or style not being my thing. There is just no attaction there. That's maybe half the time. But it is the showing of interest that takes the ones that I think are decent looking and my taste from just another person in the room, to me being interested back.

If I see someone I like at a club or something where you would normally meet strangers, then I would avoid the ones that always get hit on and go for someone just cute. I get a positive response maybe half the time. That could just be getting a number or talking for a while.

Another observation, if you or the other person has an "in" with you, like you meet through a friend, then chances go up a lot.

I don't buy this. I am average by all means and I've always been with super hot women because most men who are average won't even think of hitting on them.

Always left more hot women for me because of the way most men think. By the way, my dad was the same way so I guess I learned it from him.


Also I was never the one to let rejection get in the way of what I wanted.

You're the exception. You'd have to have something else to offer instead.

No...I can think of about 10 women who've been attracted to me, I was kind of desperate enough to sleep with 2 of them...I was attracted back to another of them, but she turned out to be attracted by most things with a dick or a *****...

None of the women I've really been attracted to have been attracted back.
Except for one but she only hinted it very vaguely and I didn't act in time...then again she was moving across the Atlantic the week after I met her so there was no chance there anyway...

And what's up with all women above forty being attracted to me when none of the girls my age are...(I'm 20...)

For those who can find people that like them back, how does the conversation go before you asked them out? I usually have a idea, because they look at me, give eye contact, touch my arm, pay attention and ask questions about me. I'm wondering if the people who get rejected a lot get any of these signals or are they just asking people out who haven't shown any hint of interest.

I lived in Southern Italy (Puglia) for two years, learned most of what I know about cooking from my wee landlady, Teresa (la mia piccola mamma).

In all fairness I don't know if I should say I still speak it, but I can still translate for folks when watching movies most of the time.

Ahh. . . you speak Russian and Italian? Anything else?


I have a thing for languages

very UNTRUE.

Are you attracted to someone who thinks you are attractive? Yes and No OP, certain people will say they like you, but you don't always like them. And some may say you are ugly to them, yet you find them attractive.

Sometimes, but Murphy's Law always seems to prevail and usually those who find me attractive I don't like.
