Can you tell when she likes you?
I have a friend that is completely oblivious when a woman is flirting with him. He is super smart in his work life but when it comes to things like body language, wooing techniques, etc, he just doesn’t recognize the signs that women send his way.
I have literally had to point it out to him and let him know that “friends” don’t really cook for friends three times a week. Women also don’t volunteer to pet sit or do random domestic duties for guys unless they are investing in them. Basically, if a woman is consistently putting time, effort, and money in a man, she wants a relationship with him.
I understand the concept of mixed signals and coded behavior but women who are truly interested won’t hide behind those tactics, do they? Guys can you tell when a woman really likes you?
Ladies, how do you show men you are interested in them as a potential partner (as opposed to a buddy, friend, pal, sponsor etc..) or mate?
Do you ever have a hard time figuring out if someone likes you as more than a friend?

This day is dragging by like molasses…so I went for a brief walk to curve some of my restless energy. I practiced my old skool pimp walk for 15minutes…equipped with the George Jefferson swinging arm

Me too, I’m just digging my music today, so I left it there.
Now the song playing is some dude saying he’s had a different girl every night and haven’t seen the sun in 3 damn days. Now she’s saing “she ain’t seen him” in 3 nights and put his picture away. Said she can’t see him while laying next to him. Now he’s saying she reminds him of brighter days. She’s saying she hope he’s coming home. Now they’re mutually singing saying they’ve thought about (each other) for a long time…can’t understandy why (either) are living life this way and call to say come back home….lol
Hey it’s slow here today.

SexyC – I still watch the reruns. If I’m at my mom’s my bother shakes his head in disgust. He swears I the sole person keeping syndication going. LOL I still laugh but more so cause just watching now versus back then is so not the same. Yeah, they never got their comeuppance until the last show. The spirit of Schleprock (sp) hung over that show.

@Celisea ~ I love that song. It’s Pamela Anderson’s ex hubby. Dang, can’t think of names this week. Tommy?????
It’s sad. He’s hurting she’s hurting, but they can’t look at each other pictures (something like that). Haven’t heard the song in a long time, but loved it the first time I heard it.

I’m just returning from lunch. I was sitting in my car reading before coming in (I don’t get back on the clock until it’s time to be back on the clock) and noticed a lady whose car wouldn’t start. it’s a dreary, rainy day and having car trouble sucks even on a sunny day. I absolutely felt for her but i impulsively cranked my car up to make sure it started like it was supposed to. i guess that’s kind of bad on some level.

That was funny. Is that the same as (when younger), picking up the phone to make sure it was still working when you was expecting a call…that was taking too long to come through? Aaaahhhh the days of youth.

I have never had a woman do those things that WD described to “Woo” me but that would be cool. But I’d say 50/50 of the time I do know if a woman likes me but, like for women it is the individual’s “Choice” to Reciprocate, if they are not interested don’t push your luck.

(Kid Rock) Livin’ my life in a slow hell
Different girl every night at the hotel
I aint seen the sun shine in 3 damn days
Been fuelin’ up on cocaine and whisky
Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord I wonder if I’ll ever change my ways
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried the day
I can’t look at you while I’m lyin’ next to her
I put your picture away, sat down and cried today
I can’t look at you while I’m lyin’ next to her
(Sherly Crow)
I called you lastnight in the hotel
Everyone knows but they wont tell
But their half hearted smiles tell me
Somethin’ just ain’t right
I been waitin’ on you for a long time
Fuelin’ up on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain’t heard from you in 3 damn nights
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can’t look at you while I’m lyin’ next to him
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can’t look at you while I’m lyin’ next to him
I saw ya yesterday with an old friend
(Kid Rock)
It was the same ole same “how have you been”
(Both)
Since you been gone my worlds been dark & grey

Well, maybe it is. I instantly thought of The Sugar Hill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” (probably one of the longest original rap songs in history)!
