I would never make the first move, id probably die of shame if they knocked me backshocked




So what do you do? Hope they figure out you're interested? How do you let them know?


Id rather be chased than do the chasing..

If it's on here, If someone nudges/emails me then id do the same back if I'm interested...

In real life....If a guy shows interest in me well then id make it pretty obvious if I was interested in him...



I'd chase you. Unfortunately the distance would be our downfall.
If you're friends with a guy already though, it's VERY hard to tell if he is just being friendly or if he actually likes you..

Same here, especially since I've never really understood the whole process and have no idea how it's supposed to be done....


If it's on here, If someone nudges/emails me then id do the same back if I'm interested...


I just ignore nudges from strangers now. They always turn out to be scammers.

I don't think anybody knows to be honest. I guess it's just thrill of the chase, ya never know till you try.

Yeah I got a few scammers too, so now I'm very careful who I make contact with.

You should let loose and see what happens. I'm sure you'll meet someone nice on here, if you just knock a few of them walls down. From what I've seen on here, there are quite a few ladies that have made it pretty obvious that they're interested in you.

Go for it!

I hear that whole thing about "they're making it obvious" from time to time, but I'm just not seeing it. I don't know if it's the Asperger's, or if I'm just naturally oblivious, or what. It just doesn't register to me. I see messages that are supportive, messages that are kind and considerate, but I don't see "interest," per se.

Of course, the bigger obstacle, even assuming anyone actually was interested, is usually the distance thing....

do you do anything about it? It can be here or in real life. How many of you would actually ask someone out that you are interested in? Or even at least let the person know you're interested?


Up until a few years ago, this was never a problem. I never had to figure out how to let someone know I was interested; there were always people around who were interested in me, and who would make it pretty obvious. On top of that, I had some friends who were always trying to fix me up with someone they knew. It was a pretty good system, I really didn't have to do anything!


Or, do you wait around and hope they figure it out and do something about it?


Nowadays, I'm in a situation where I don't know anyone in my area, and have had no luck trying to find ways to meet people. So I haven't really been interested in anyone for a very long time. And if someone like that did show up, I'm really not sure how I would handle it.



I can pretty much agree with this - never had a problem with this til recently....part of it may be being new to the area here in beautiful Columbus Ohio....I have been interested in a couple of people over the last two years but they turned out to be attached (one of them) and the other does not seem to reciprocate interest. So no, if I don't get a signal of some kind of interest I will not do anything, and I really prefer the man make the first move (after all the usual signal exchanges)if he does not I interpret that to mean he is not interested, and maintain that is generally the case....sure if u ask a guy out he'll prolly say yes to chance at a free meal & some booty, but if he is really into you- he will do something about it

The thing that was always hard for me was when friends would say "Didn't you see that girl flirting with you?" and I never had any idea of what they were talking about. I guess I just don't understand the concept of flirting.

Since I moved to Indiana, I almost never see anyone at all, so there's little opportunity for me to overlook any flirting, real or otherwise.

I pretty much ignore nudges from strangers, too. If they want to chat, that's cool, but they need to send an email to do so.

So, a woman asking a man out says that she's buying him food and having sex with him? Interesting.

Yeah, that's how I see it, too. They have to actually say something, otherwise there's no point. I don't want to have to do both ends of the conversation.

There have been some who have nudged me over and over and over. So I contacted them and asked them what was going on. They told me they didn't know what to say. Of course, there was nothing in their profile, so I didn't have anything to say, either.

I just don't see the point of contacting someone if you don't know what to say to them.

Exactly -- what's the point? Where do you go with that?

Most of the e-mails I get now are "Hi" or "Hello" or "How are you?" and that's the whole thing. I don't respond to those anymore. Sometimes I get the ones that say "Hey, I read your profile and I liked it! Where are you and what do you do?" and I don't respond to those anymore, either.

I'd estimate that fewer than 5% of my e-mails actually contain anything I can legitimately reply to....

OK, can you make sure the letters are really big, and maybe red or neon green? And there should be a picture of a llama on there somewhere....

eh it's just an example -more what a guy would prolly be thinking about (the sex particularly) rather than me saying what is actually going to happen. I think you tried to put words in my mouth there- as I see only a vague connection between what I said & ur response

I would imagine whether or not sex or food is involved is up to the people involved....depends on what u are looking for, I guess - but it pretty much boils down to the discussion we have had previously on what fits with your style or comfort zone.

but I maintain that if he is really into you- he will do something about it - and the ones who don't/won't - I would not be interested in, personally

w/e floats ur boat...
