Hey all

Feeling a bit down on myself as had a bad run with women recently. Anyhow, sat in the pub just now and theres a girl I know a little (not to the extent where we really pop over and chat to each other though), who I'm pretty certain kept looking over at me. I also think I've caught her doing this before.

Is she interested in me? - my gut says yes, but I've been known to get this wrong before lol!

Go for it - what have you got to lose?

erm, maybe he feels he has more confidence to lose.

I'd say go 4 it as well though as getting knocked back can be good it's character building.

I'd say I was a relatively attractive female and yes I've went up to guys in clubs/bars and been knocked but couldn't give a stuff. It just means your not that persons type. Just keep moving.

Trust me if you ask out 10 girls at least 1 will be interested.
Do you have much to lose by finding out? Probably not if you only know her a little. See what happens. You might regret it otherwise. Always take chances.

I beg to differ. What if they were ten lesbians?

Anyway, back to the seriousness, I wouldn't put yourself in a situation where you ask her out in front of everybody else because if she does reject you it would be humiliating. Try to get her alone, or even ask a friend of hers if she might be interested in you. Good luck regardless.

To Monsumo, the laws of averages states that, all things being equal, you will get 1 in ten people interested. All things are not, however, equal, and some people have the intellectual capacity of a boiled potato (look around the forum, if you want to know who I am talking about). But to the OP, yes, go for it. If she turns you down, just remember that there are plenty more fish in the sea, and to get back on the horse, and that people REALLY hate cliches.

But seriously, just think that, as the law of averages states that at least 1 in 10 will be interested, at least 1 in 10 will not (the others will probably be swayed by your method).

Posted on here last night and thanks to those that replied urging me to 'go for it' ...however thats not really what I was getting at.

My question is - if you catch a woman looking at you over a certain period of time - does it necessarily follow that she is attracted to you.

...I have no physical deformaties that could be drawing her gaze lol

i'm a tad curious about this too :p:
OP, do you mean a one off day a girl keeps looking over? or just the once?
what about a number of different times, you notice looking? :p:

well i noticed a few looking over last night just the once, but there are two girls who kept looking over who i know a little (but not really enough to just saunter over and chat as tho friends)...
If someone keeps on looking at you then you've either got someting on you're face or they like you! Next time smile at her and see how she reacts and then you'll probably know for sure!

Tbh I know I told you to go for it last night but I honestly think that's what you should do - the worst thing that cn happen is she'll say no - and then best thing that can is that she'll say yes! Stop waiting around wondering if you should and just take the bull by the horns and talk to her...it's not hard!!!
Ha, I have just a friend about how to get someone's attention to let him know if I'm interested (I don't know that guy). She suggested to look at him and when he noticed that I am looking just look away, lol~ it's just one of the trick she suggested, don't know whether it works or not.
So I would think this is probably the same situation, if that person acts the same way!^^
As cheekylittleminx said, u may well smile at her when the next time she's looking u, and see what her reaction is! lol

haha i loved that quote, it reminded me of my boyfriend. after i first got up the courage to tell him that i liekd him, that's what he said: "could you please say that again", as if it wasnt embarrassing enougha already, so i said "but i just said it" and he said: "yeah but i've been wrong about these things before". how cute huh?? aaahh..

anyway, i dont think there's anything WE can tell you, we didnt see how she looked at you, but if you feel that it wasnt cuz you had chocolate on your face and that she's done it before, just give it a try. if you dont know her that well anyway, what have you got to lose?

Good Luck!

tbh a look on its own is most likely nothing unless its unmistakenly prolonged or with a smile

I like that philosophy :smile: Hopefully it's true for girls asking out boys too.
