Is she looking at me?
To all women out there: subtle hints do not work.
I would guess that most of you in relationships knew that you wanted your man long before he knew. It's because men are clumsy with the hints that women toss around. Not that there's anything bad about that. Good heavens, we thank you for your gentle nature.
Heck, we're still a bit caveman, and often consider bonking someone on the head to cut to the chase. Not that we would ever really do such a thing.
Aside from all that, there are obvious signs of attraction that go both ways. Like when a guy lingers just a little past the point of a conversation's end, and asks you if you want to do "something" later (it doesn't matter - mini golf, coffee, lunch - just that she agrees to doing anything).
Gals throw out their hints - the hair flips, the look/look-away from across the room or just standing a little differently when talking to you.
Folks like Mystery and magazines like Cosmo document other flirt tips in a million different ways, like it really helps any of us. I read once that she's interested in you if she rubs her hands together when you talk. Get real.
Of course we could all just be blunt. Eventually we get there with any love interest. But along the way we all flirt in some way.
So what hints have you used that someone just didn't get? What have you picked up on that are sure-fire signs of interest from a crush every time?
