You would probably know if you did. How do you show interest in someone? You're probably pretty engaging, smiling, <pretend> laughing at their jokes (even the ones that aren't that funny), giving them your undivided attention, etc.

If a woman is showing these signs, they are probably interested in you and you should at least attempt to make the next step.

Since he is married, it is likely he got the go at least once in his life. Just a guess.

How do you know they're not just being nice?

Most of the time, you don't know either way. That's why you make an advancement. If they were completely not interested, they'd probably not have given you the time. Do you often stick around and invest a bunch of time with a girl that you're completely not interested in? I'm guessing probably not.

If they do stick around for awhile, at least you know there's a 50/50 chance that they're interested.

Exactly. Bus stop girl I asked if (at the end of the bus stop) wanted to grab a beer to continue our convo, she did and got her number there.

Current GF and I talked beer, and I mentioned a growler I had gotten from a new micro, and she said she really had wanted to tried that. Open invitation to invite her over.

Simple.

You can never get back your time.

Look at any job ad these days. You need to have all skills covered that the company wants. You need to fill out endless on-line applications. You need to interview with everyone from the janitor all the way up to the company CEO. You better answer every question perfectly.

Same thing with dating. You better have everything going for you, or it's not going to happen.

No wonder this country is going down the toilet. It's really a shame.
I never saw myself as picky, but still had to date a while before I met my amazing wife...here's all I asked for (and got!):

-similar worldview
-same goals regarding relationship/kids/future together
-sexually compatible (that was the hardest one, I seemed to attract frigid prude types for a while there)
-mentally stable
-similar enough to have plenty of things to do together, different enough to remain interesting
-welcomes and appreciates me for who I am
-someone *I* find physically attractive (doesn't have to be a supermodel)

That was really about it. Never seemed that picky to me. I found her, but it wasn't as easy as I'd have thought.

You could have fooled me. Finding a woman who accepts you for who you are is a daunting task. I like my life, let me live it, know what I mean?

It's much easier for guys who bend and cave. That's ok, my tools won't end up in a garage sale because she needs more room for a garden.
