women and body language:

Brian mentioned that he still hasn't figured out womens body language and what it means, you can read it in his post about his first date this weekend, soooo, I thought it would be great to help him along and give some insight.....

What are some of the things you do, to show your interested in a guy and what are some of the the signs that show your really ticked off or just sooooooo NOT interested...

I gotta go to bed, but I'm looking forward to some reading tomorrow. I think this could get funny again!

I haven't weighed in on any of these sorts of questions for a long time, but I'm going to offer something here.

To me, this is a very simple answer. I know a woman's interested in me when she smiles at me and talks to me. Does it mean she "wants" me? Not necessarily, but it does mean that she likes me, and that's enough.

Frankly, the answer is also reminiscent of that, "He's just not that into you" advice from men to women. If you have to wonder about her, then she just isn't that interested in you. So why bother? Smile, say whatever's polite, and keep walking. Further down the road, there's another woman who is just as attractive to you AND who is going to let you know that she's interested.

Michael,

This is so simple and sweet - and great advice for all of us.

I have enjoyed reading all of your updates. You sound like such a great person, man and father. I think that good things are going to come to you soon.

Thanks for the thoughts.

Two things: first, good things are with me always. Life sucks when you keep looking elsewhere or to another time for fulfillment. One of my favorite quotations asks, "If we are not happy and joyous at this season, for what other season shall we wait and for what other time shall we look?"

Happiness is in the way that we accept and deal with what happens to us, not something that we acquire with with a different situation. I know of people in the worst of wordly circumstances who had happiness, because they understood what was important and knew that poverty and wealth, pain and pleasure are transitory.

The other thing is that when people ask how to know if someone is interested in them or not, the answer is normally, "No, not the way that you want, or you wouldn't be asking. You would know." In my experience, people ask because they're trying to convince themselves that someone is interested, even though they haven't given an indication of it.

Michael, I agree. I think it's best to assume someone is NOT interested unless they express interest.
