Say the guy is interested in you, he's flirting, but he has not ask the question or have that talk with you. He's waiting to see if you feel the same way. How did you let him know?
Me: We were standing around talking. He said something flirty. I asked "Do you by any chance have romantic feeling for me?" He froze, looked at me for awhile before he admitted it. Then I went on to tell him that I felt the same way.
The closest thing I've ever had to having an "Are you interested in me ?" talk was when I was hangin out with a woman in college with her friends, and one friend of hers said, "Go for him, he is kind of cute".
Usually flirting and chemistry occurs, and as a guy I ask for a phone number and then a date and things just progress romantically, or they don't.
The "do you like me?" thing I guess happened in high school, but not with me.
IME, when a woman chases a guy, she doesnt ask permission, she just goes for it. From what I've seen anyway.

I've never met a man though a cold approach... with me, it's always been men I get to know over a period of time. I am also not a talky person to do flirting though words. I like to "do", not talk. Usually things just build up over time. A goodbye hug here. Then a peck on the cheek or on the neck.
Usually the man does that and tests the water. But if he hasn't made a move and if I am interested in him, I initiate that stuff and gauge his reaction. A long hug, a kiss on the cheek or neck, etc. The only problem with that is it can tend to turn on just about any man--even if he's only a little interested. So it's hard to say how much he's into me or how much he's just in to making out. It leaves a lingering doubt.

Me too, with this guy, I have known him for 2 years. We were acquaintance but had gotten to know each other a little bit for about several months. So before I asked him straight out, there was a lot of hugging, a hello hug, a goodbye hug.
Are you saying that if you are interested, then you would initiate this hug/kiss? Any story to tell ?

So you have not experience the subtleties in relationship yet? Meaning you have not experienced having feeling for someone over a period of time before asking them out?

Yes, if I like him enough, I try. It's rare for me to do so--mainly because of the doubt it leaves me with and doubt can kill what attraction I have for the man. I start to think I wasn't good enough for him to try first... stuff like that.
The last time I tried something like that, things got pretty passionate, pretty quickly. It took me by surprise and it felt like he was very much into me (and I was into him just as much). For me, it was pent up attraction.. I am not sure about him, but it was like flipping a switch. The downside of me taking the initiative in any situation like that is that I don't know if the man I am trying it on is really interested in me or just being physical and the doubt sinks in. Only time can tell.
Maybe it's a bit sexist of me, but I tend to think that if a woman likes/has feelings for a man, she will want to be physical with him in most cases. If she doesn't have feelings for him, she won't. I fall cleanly into that stereotype. This is my opinion, but I really do feel that most men don't necessarily need to have feelings for a woman to want to get more inmate with her (and again, this rings true with my experience). It's not good or bad, I just is what it is. So that's where my doubt comes from.
But generally, despite doubt, if I like the man enough, I don't regret (even if I failed and he was just taking advantage of the moment) because at least I tried. I would regret more if I didn't and was left with a bunch of "what ifs."

I had to drive out of town for a conference and I was loading some non-heavy file boxes into my vehicle and he came over and insisted on helping me. After I returned from the conference I went to his office and told him that I wanted to take him to lunch as a "Thank You" for helping me load all those non-heavy file boxes. He accepted my lunch offer.
Our lunch conversation was light and slightly flirtatious. When he dropped me off at my office, he asked me out to dinner as a "Thank You" for lunch. Things progressed from there. We ended up dating for about a year before I transferred to another duty station.
