I do (or did) really similar things to what interested guys would do with me. Face entirely front (not like a soldier or something, but you get the idea), smile a lot, ask questions, make little jokes/laugh at his jokes. Like any interest but a bit more full on attention; lingering looks, lots of eye contact.

Somehow it always seemed to work out. He could tell, I could tell.

Give it some time if you would like to put some work into it. Sometimes attraction isnt based purely on looks where you grow on her and she sees you in different light. Especially since you both get along amazingly.

I see hot girls with not so attractive guys all the time.

Funny answers..

I flirt with them, make eye contact, casual conversation, and then slip an invite in to go out sometime. Not a forced approach.

If I like you, you will know I'm interested.

I often times find that the guys around here that talk about how they can't find a date or how ugly they are or how they haven't had a date in 10 years, really don't talk to any women or hardly ask any women out, if even any, at all. And some of them also wanna try to be friends first with a woman first, in order to eventually ask them out later and that's really a bad way to go. You're torturing yourself if you do that, for a multitude of reasons. The biggest reason being because if she's single and you're single and you don't ask her out, some other guy is gonna swoop in and ask her out, while you're getting to know her as a friend. Then you lose and you have no chance.

And the coup de grace is when you find out 1 month, 6 months, 2 years, 5 years, maybe even 20 years later, ''Hey! I had a crush on you back then! You never asked me out! So I assumed that you didn't like me!''.

Conflicting advice. But, this is the logic behind why so many guys end up in the friend-zone. When you feel you have little or no sex-appeal, becoming friends first, so that you can "grow on her" seems to make the most sense.

This never happened to me. While it would be a bummer to find this out later, at least it would boost one's confidence, I think.

Example Her: Maybe watch the game too "lie", have some drinks.
Example Him: Where at?
Example Her: There's this restaurant/bar I go to. You should try it out.
CUE FOR HIM
Example Him: Yeah? you wanna go sometime? Let me get your number.

Some variation that sets it up for him to feel comfortable to ask you out. If he doesn't ask after a few set ups, he aint interested and neither were you.
Pretty good.Infact I did this.
Me:Are you busy this weekend?
Him:Yes I am.
My interpretation:Well damn.....obviously he's not interested.

Oops, I replied earlier, and neglected to answer the original question.

Nothing earth-shattering, but in the right venue, (somewhere where we were brought together by a common interest) I'd just start talking to a woman I was interested in.

So just talking to her like a normal conversation tells her nothing of interest.

A wink,touch of the shoulder/back,following and remembering what she said seems more doable.
