If you really want a long term relationship, you shouldn’t worry about if she’s flirting or not. You should focus on doing things that build trust.
Exactly, women trust tall, jacked, wealthy, high-status men.
Attraction gets attention. Flirting opens the door to further conversation. Being vulnerable, taking risks and investing in the other builds trust. These are all necessary steps on the road to long term relationships.
If she isn’t flirting, then it isn’t going anywhere.
Its similar to believing that you find someone to marry without dating. Unless you’re doing an arranged marriage, not happening.
If you don’t flirt and she flirts back, the interaction ends. No dating.
This comment makes no damn sense. You don’t get to that part without the meeting/flirting. Slow down
That’s true about trust, especially the more introverted the woman is. She doesn’t open up easily. Flirting can take the form of wanting to get deeper with a man. I’m slowly working toward a relationship with a woman in a work environment. When other people are around, she’s self-conscious and everything is kept at a surface level. Anyone observing would think she only has a friendly interest in me. But when we get some alone time, everything changes. All of the connection and chemistry blossoms and she shows me she trusts me and wants to get deeper with me. A woman’s nature and her attraction might only be shown to you in the right circumstance.
I think the hardest thing to tell as a man is not whether she is flirting or not, but instead, whether she is truly into you or just tries to get your attention for ego boost😅. Women crave male attention
Yep or if she’s just trying to get something from you like for example you’re at a bar you have to wonder if she’s just trying to get free drinks.
*gentlemen always assume friendly* unless she explicitly says otherwise
I can understand why!
You should always assume friendly, and keep chugging along unless explicitly stated otherwise!!
@@CourtneyRyanone time this girl just told me she liked my shoes. A few days later her friend told me she was interested. I told her I’ll talk to your friend if I see her again but you might wanna tell her when she’s interested in a guy she’s gonna have to do better than hey ! I like your shoes.
If you can’t tell, it’s just friendly. If she means to flirt, she’ll make sure you can tell the difference.
Perfeclty summed up the situation
I disagree. Most women’s hints are so subtle they’re almost invisible.
Not always. If YOU don’t pickup on the flirtiness of her words, smiles, etc, then while she might THINK she’s being extremely obvious, that is likely where it ends.
@@StuJones-gn7te Then, she’s immature and doesn’t deserve romance.
Sometimes, women flirt for fun or attention, so even if she’s giving all these signs, there’s still a chance she’s not actually interested.
That’s what they do 100% of the time. They know very well men are not approaching them to be their friends. They just like playing
The key point is treating you _differently_. If a woman has a naturally flirty personality, she’s going to treat everyone that way. If she’s doing it only with you, she’s probably into you.
@@elmousse007 Nah, I’m friends with plenty of women and have zero interest in sleeping with any of them. The trick is to know exactly what you want and don’t want in a relationship but still want friends to bond over shared interests. In my experience, though, women typically reach that point younger, probably due to more societal pressure on social skills. I needed to meet my now-wife, and grow comfortable in that relationship, before it felt like the awkwardness of friendships with women went away.
It’s called plausible deniability. Even if she shows all the signs, she can always exit the situation at any time and claim she was never interested, so you look like an idiot who misreads women. This makes dating super frustrating, because you she can rip the rug from under you at any time and pretend she was completely oblivious.
Big facts
Here’s a solution, women can just communicate like adults and tell a man directly if they are interested or not. But maybe my expectations are too high.
Women would need to learn how to communicate first for that even to happen.
When I was in college, one of my brother’s friends asked out a cousin of mine. She politely said she wasn’t all that interested in him in that way, and he just kinda lost it, getting super angry, blaming her for leading him on and so on, when all she was doing was hanging out in the same group. In the years since, I’ve since asked a number of girl friends and girlfriends about that, and they all had at least one story of something similar happening to them.
Just saying, I would say that most guys don’t do that, but it doesn’t take it happening too many times before someone starts getting defensive about being overly direct.
It’s one of those things that will never happen with a woman; exactly like a woman who never questions her behavior and her past relationships – it’s always her ex-partner’s fault.
I wish dating wasn’t so complicated nowadays.
Ya it used to just be like 1+1=2 or you look good I look good let’s look good together and see where this goes but I guess that’s to much nowadays 😅
@@jimbobfisher8904it sucks because everything is transactional now
It’s really not. Social media inflates the illusion of complexity. Only around 70% of the human population uses the Internet.
She said she wants children and for us to grow old together but I think she’s just being nice. You can never be sure.
I’ve heard of guys wondering if a woman they slept with last week really like them.
She’s probably just Canadian
@@StuJones-gn7teThat doesn’t make sense to you? They’re anxious about if she enjoyed it or not…
@@StuJones-gn7tehave u had sex with a woman in this generation?
@@BlakeLawless-qf8ip Then, proper communication needs to occur, prior to the s3ggual engagement, of what both partners like in bed. Listen to HER.
Unfortunately women’s flirting and hints that she’s interested are usually so subtle as to practically be invisible.
I’ve known plenty of women who were very friendly and would watch men trying to hit on them, thinking that her friendliness meant she was interested. It lasted until she realized he wasn’t just being friendly and that he was flirting or hitting on her, and she immediately shut that down.
Distinguishing flirting and being friendly is just extremely simple……The hard one is to know if a girl’s flirting for fun only or really for considering a relationship.
If you find distinguishing flirting from friendliness easy, then you will know if she at least likes you and then it shouldn’t be too scary or difficult to ask her out on a date. And once you have been dating for a while, you can just ask if she’s interested in a relationship. If she is, she will say so. If she isn’t, she will either say No or she will hesitate before answering or fudge round the question. If for some reason she lies and says “Yes” when the real answer is no, well… There’s no legislating for that. You can’t be responsible for someone else’s weirdness.
The more common headf**k for men, is when a woman is very flirty and perhaps even initiates from the start but is then reluctant to go on dates or finds excuses (maybe reasonable sounding ones) but wishes to continue flirting in certain situations. This one really is easy – she loves the ego massage of your attention but does not want a relationship. Usually because she is already in a (secret) one.
@@jethrobradley7850 A lot of women are afraid of upsetting people and getting a bad reaction from a rejection. It’s understandable, I’ve known my fair share of guys who got irrationally angry just because the woman was upfront with her lack of interest. It’s also possible for a girl to just be lukewarm and kinda think it would be okay to be in a relationship in the moment but not have real chemistry, so things just kinda peeter out.
When I was still single, I gave it the three-try rule. If a girl would reschedule with me three times, I figured she wasn’t all that interested in me and moved on. It also helped having the mantra of “I’m not interested in everyone, everyone might not be interested in me, and that’s all okay” to get over the sting of rejection.
Oh yeah? Someone I used to work with had a boyfriend, we bumped into each other, and she suggested we go for a coffee; while waiting in line, she spent ages pulling out and adjusting my jacket collar – in the name of ‘OCD’…..
@@JohnM… You could have told her to stop.
Old friend used to casually flirt = touch, grab, hug, link arms, hold hands, sit in my lap, and always want to see me. But when push came to shove, it was not because she was interested in me romantically, it was because she was addicted to attention. i would say this is majority of women. Some might have more boundaries, like they wont hold hands, etc, but in general it true for most women. IYKYK.
If a woman is interested in you, they will ack weird or crazy. You will see them going above and beyond to get you in a position to ask them out.
So because you had one experience of a woman flirting for attention, the majority of all women on Earth are like that? Please.
@@Guigley I gave one example. Dude there’s been multiple.. this is just how women are you sound like someone who’s not social at all
@@Guigley maybe 90% of the women I’ve encountered. Get out more you’ll experience it too. What I say it’s the majority probably not because I am only accounting for westernized women. I don’t need to spell out every little bit of criteria to satisfy trolls.
Honestly, at this point, I’m just never gonna assume that a girl interested in me unless I see more better signs cause talking with me be a bit longer is not enough wanting to hang out at work is not enough. Just I have to see more that she actually want something much further than keeping it basic
I always just assume she’s being friendly. If she really wants me, she’ll make it obvious. If and until then, I just play it casual.
Said Hi to my gym crush today after stalling for months, her eyes were wide and froze for a few seconds in shock… either i’m wildly attractive or the most hideous creature she’s seen.
Yeah bud it’s a slippery slope. Especially when you go to gym at 5am. Love that timeframe. If it goes south then you have to change times. Too awkward. Sucks
3 things that instantly changed how people treat me:
1) I stopped chasing attention.
2) I started reading books on Atruve.
3) I stopped trying to prove myself to people who don’t matter.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Amen Brother <3
Nobody is fooled by you meatballs.
*The difference is in the consistency — flirting builds tension, friendliness stays neutral. If she’s making it easy to escalate, it’s not just small talk.*
What, no timestamps yet? Fine, I’ll step up to the plate:
0:39 Her energy changes around you.
1:37 She finds reasons to stay in contact.
3:07 She mirrors your energy.
4:20 She makes time for you.
5:18 She asks you questions.
6:14 She gets nervous or awkward around you.
7:03 She brings you into her world.
7:46 She responds to your attention.
TLDR: There’s little to no distinction between friendliness and flirting. You’re welcome. 😐
Well done. She still can’t use her words and say it. Why not just be honest ?
Stop trying to leave breadcrumbs.
Cause at any moment it can all go wrong if the dude assumes.
I would have done it were it not for me being in an exam, thank you good sir/madam.
@@robcuthbert8257it’s all about plausible deniability. They often claim because it’s a masculine thing to do but that obviously isn’t a true justification as women are masculine even when men openly don’t like it, so obviously there’s something about the results of being masculine in this context that they don’t like. The result is that it takes away any form of plausible deniability, you can go up to someone, say you like them and ask them out and then try “nah we’re just friends” or “nah it wasn’t like that”.
My dating life:
*Well, no one told me about her, the way she lied. Well, no one told me about her, how many people cried. But it’s too late to say you’re sorry. How would I know, why should I care? Please don’t bother tryin’ to find her, She’s not there!😵💫💥🙈*
Had one that did all these things except make time to hang out closely in public spaces like restaurants. Took months before I realized that I was the back up plan to her “on again/ off again” ex. When they were “off” there was long deep conversations, daily texting including “good morning” and “sweet dreams” texts. When they were “on”. Ghost city.
Watch out for that one guys.
When a woman asks you about past relationships, she is “not” interested. If she wants you, she will not ask about that.
