Why am I always wrong when I think a guy might like me? a few weeks ago this guy i had been checking out for a while introduced himself to me for no reason whatsoever. we had a brief, somewhat awkward conversation. I thought FOR SURE that he was interested in me, and I am not one to think guys are interested in me. After that, every time I've seen him, I've said hi and struck up a little conversation. He seemed to make the same effort toward me. He has exhibited body language that I have read are sure signs of interest. I made an effort to email him to follow up on a conversation we had had the day before. I have purposely tried to look cute every day I know I am going to see him. But there has been no movement forward AT ALL. The problem is that I will see him maybe once or twice over the next two weeks, but after that we won't be seeing each other on a regular basis anymore. I don't understand why he hasn't asked me out. I thought FOR SURE he was interested. How could I have been so wrong and stupid???

Hi buggie10, I'm curious to know what the body signs are to let you know that someone is interested. Please tell me.

I have to tell you from past experiences even if the guy makes it crystal clear that he might be interested he WONT ask you out for whatever reason. Sometimes they really want to but something is holding them back, like financial troubles, family problems..etc....it has NOTHING to do with you. Best thing is to move on with your life and when he is ready, he will come looking for you.

well I read that if someone is interested in you, they will try to draw attention to themselves subconsciously. Like if talking in a group, they will talk loudly, over gesture, or do something to distinguish themselves from the group (this guy was throwing his pen). Also, you don't know that you do it, but when you are interested in someone you open up your face- your eyebrows go up and/or mouth parts a little. You also lean toward people you are interested in.

Oh thanks for the reply, that is really interesting. I also heard that if their feet point toward you that's a sign of interest. Also you know I heard that if a guy yawns and streches his body is a sign of interest. I think this is true because a ex-bf of mine did that alot with me :)
