Oh, absolutely, and it should have been on my list. I do that... I'll touch him on the arm or something when we're talking, or make whatever kind of subtle physical contact in public to forge/keep a connection going.

And when I get him someplace private, if we've had long enough to get to know each other...

If I were around a guy I was interested in, say we had just met randomly somewhere or we were on a date, I would:

  • Compliment him, maybe on some aspect of his appearance, or other aspect of himself. Like his eyes, or his laugh, or something like that. Obviously, I wouldn't do this if it weren't sincere, but I've seen guys with gorgeous eyes or a great smile or a really great laugh or something, and I'll tell them that to their face if I'm interested. Men compliment women all the time to show interest; my guess is that if a woman does the same thing, a guy is going to love that.

  • Listen to him talk, and encourage him to talk to me about himself. I want to know what he enjoys, what he thinks about life, what sort of things is he really passionate about in terms of hobbies, beliefs, etc. No, I really don't give a rat's ass about his bank account or his salary or what kind of car he drives. I want to know what kind of person he is. Hopefully, if I'm showing a genuine interest in what makes him tick, he will reciprocate by wanting to know more about me, as well.

  • Related to the above, I would endeavor to take (NOT fake) an interest in the things that interest him. Obviously, this only works if you don't have to fake it. If I find myself attracted to a guy but it turns out that his number one primary interest is WWE wrestling and his second biggest interest is football, NASCAR or tracking his investments, I have to write him off as a loss and move on, because we aren't likely to find much in the way of common interests, no matter how sexy he might be with his mouth shut.

  • If we're at a bar, I might offer to buy him a drink. Guys to that for women they're interested in, so again, my guess is that if a woman turns the tables, the guy will like it, too.

  • Nod, smile, agree with him on things where I sincerely agree; on things where I don't, encourage him to explain and expand on his POV so that I will understand him more fully.

  • Laugh at his jokes.
There's more, but that's enough for starters.
There we go!

CoffeeChick, some of the guys here will never get it.

I don't care how much we explain. They won't get a date.

I invade their space. I've been known to trip on an imaginary thing on the floor. I say, ooops I'm sorry. He says, don't be. Yes! Gottcha!

It's easy: Ask her out and she'll say "Yes" if she's interested and "No" if she's not interested.

Was she interested or just very nice?
She was serving you a pizza.

Query to you ladies... You've met a man. Not sure yet if he's "the man" so you drop a couple of your little signs/flirts/hints or whatever you wish to have them refered to as. He doesen't respond in the exact manner or fashion that you would like him to. Perhaps even worse (gasp) he doesen't seem to have picked up on your subtlety at all. What a moron/ape/dumb... Get the picture? Your average guy (neanderthalus-americanus) is not in search of coquetish manerisms (femailia without-dateus). How about a smile and "Hello."? History has proven this method for the better part of 50,000 years or so now. And guys, if she's a bit to much into the "if he's Mr. Right he'll know exactly what 'this' means" game; it's possible that she is still connected to some idealized dream guy she conjured up from a romance novel she read as a girl. Or just some princess/drama queen that thinks way to much of herself in which case, not worth the effort.

What do you want women to do exactly? Undress you and help you find the hole?

And yet there are plenty who tell you that when she's looking at you and smiling, she's interested.

See, this is why I'm starting to hate asking for advice on women. You get 20 different answers that all contradict each other.
