I don't want to be mean - but honestly, I don't get the sense that you are good at reading people. This isn't a bad thing or a good thing - it just is what it is. Some people can pick up on things easily - some cannot. I can tell by the way someone looks at me - it's not necessarily the way the talk to me or touch me or anything like that - it's the way they look at me. I also can feel a sort of excitement in the air. But like someone else said - you are either adept at picking these things up or you are not. I don't really think this is your forte. And that's okay.

I admit I'm not good at reading people.

However, why else would a 30 something woman touch a 19 year old's knee?

I remember reading somewhere on the internet that if a female touches your knee, it means she has a thing for you.

You say you're touchy feely, but you also say you would never go for a 19 year old. Does that mean you wouldn't be touchy feely toward a 19 year old?

People touch people for all sorts of reasons. When I say I'm a touchy feely person - this does not mean that I only touch people I'm attracted to. Was she sitting next to you? I've put my hand on a stranger's knee before when he was sitting next to me because my dog jumped on him and got him dirty. Before I knew what I was doing - I was reaching out and brushing the dirt off his knee!

I try not to touch people to the point where I make them uncomfortable but I'm very comfortable in my skin. I don't think much of putting my hand on someone's shoulder or giving someone a hug. Like I said - touching doesn't always mean attraction.

Touching someone's knee doesn't mean that someone is attracted to you. And she might think of you as a kid - so she might not think anything of touching your knee at all. I think you read way too much into small details.

This is what I think also. I wouldn't go after a 19 year old either. You guys are babies to me not in a bad way but a motherly way. And if she is going after you.....I think you should think about what an age range. 12 13 14 years is a lot.

By itself, no. One of the most confused body language things is arms folded across chest. It can mean 50 different things other than closed up. Some people even do it when they are paying attention! Sort of bouncing their folded arms up and down and perking up!

When you learn body language you learn people use body language in ...well..sentences. Not just one thing, but several at the same time. As somebody else mentioned some people are just all touchy feely. So you might have a woman who just touches. But then you combine it with hair brushing, heaving breasts, lowering head so their eyes are looking up at you, and swaying if standing...well you've seen a schoolgirl with a crush on a guy before right? Older women do the same thing, only it gets more subtle as time goes on.

Yes, she was sitting next to me. When I was about to leave, she touched my knee as her way of saying goodbye.

And she showed other signs of being into me. It's hard to explain, but I could sense it.

I think she views me as being so much younger than her, but that could be a good thing. There are men her age that are attracted to girls my age. And it's not unheard of for a woman her age to be into guys my age.

But you could be right. It's possible that she just views me as a kid and nothing more.
