random for all you single girls out there...there may be hope!
...or, at least a reason to analyze life EVEN MORE :-p
The sad reality is that the average man still expresses his interest in you the same way that fifteen-year-old with the sweaty palms did in the high school halls.
Here are the typical behaviors that most men exhibit when they are interested in a woman.
Playing Peek a Boo. Every time you look at him he is looking away and every time he looks at you he is doing the same. Often this game of adult peek a boo gets so ridiculous that the two of you start cracking up and laughng. Rather than let this situation continue for days on end, just like you would in high school, why not just walk up to the guy and introduce yourself. Say something like "Hi sorry, didn't mean to freak you out. You just remind me of someone is all. And it's all good!"
His Friends Are Staring at You: If you don't know the man at all, and notice that everybody that he is standing with is looking in your direction, then it could be that he just finished pointing out the woman in the room that he likes. This of course, has invoked curious stares from everyone within earshot. Of course, before you jump to this conclusion check to make sure that you don't have spinach between your teeth or that the top four buttons of your blouse have become undone.
Playful Physical Contact. The tact goes back even further than high school and as far back as pre-school. In this case, the man may try to do things like steal items from your desk, tug your hair or flick things at you with a straw. Just like when a little boy punched you in grade two, this means that "he likes you." Sigh.
Playing With Your Things. I call this type of a guy "The Fondler." His idea of flirting is to take an object of yours, such as your cigarette lighter, pen or scarf and fondle it as if it was his own. This symbolizes his secret desire to fondle you in the same way.
Loses the Power of Speech. Even the greatest of oraters choke up and seem at a loss for something to say when in the presence of a woman for whom they have an attraction. This type will remind you of that Disney cartoon, where the man finds a performing frog in a box that only does his schtick in certain situations. When you see him with his friends, he will seem like quite the live wire. The minute you enter the picture, the guy becomes paralyzed with sexual tension and has no idea what to say!
The Secret Smile. This kind of guy will give you that special smile from across the room, but if you try to get close to him, he stares at his feet. Take heart! This means that he is so blinded by your searing beauty that if he dare look up he may loose all control and rip your bodice off! This is a sure sign that he thinks you are a Sex Goddess.
Blushing. This is a dead give away. If the man blushes in your presence, then you definitely have the potential to own a gem of a man. I like this type of man because they can't help their physical reaction in your presence yet are humble enough to turn away. However if he is turning all red, make sure it is not because of a spicy dinner he just ate!
Suddenly He Has the Memory of an Elephant. Two years ago, you casually mentioned that your favorite dish was clam linguine. Now here you are in a restaurant and he says "Aren't you going to order the clam linguine?" when you order a steak. This is a dead give away that a guy likes you because he has been filing away a list of a few of your favorite things in his head for future reference.
His Voice Changes. That's right, even though his voice officially lowered when he was about thirteen, he may still turn into a soprano or start choking or gasping for air the minute he starts talking to you. This means that he is gathering all of his unreleased sexual tension in his diaphragm.
His Tone Changes Around You. The guy is known for barking like Hitler or laughing heartily like Friar Tuck, but the minute he sees you, his tone softens. If he is talking to you like you are a teensy weensy little girl this is also an obvious indication that he is enamoured with you.
He Does The "Eye Dance": The eye dance usually occurs when he is standing near you or talking to you his gaze seems to travel in a little circle around your face and then meets your eyes again.
He Can't Take His Eyes Off Your Lips. If a man is staring at your lips, this means that he wants to kiss you. To make sure though, check your lipstick in your compact mirror to make sure you didn't get any on your teeth!
His Friends Quiz You. Suddenly you feel like his friends are acting like a bunch of telemarketers as they begin to interrogate you about your likes and dislikes, your year of birth, what school you went to and "where were you last weekend?" These conversations may seem casual but actually his friends are members of his own personal Spanish Inquisition that has been sent out to gather information about you that may be used to strategically win your heart in the future.
He Tells You Smell Nice: Ok, this is a great opening line that men often use on women. It is flattering, it has sexual implication and it is a definite sign that he likes you.
