Aussie .. one of the biggest signs is when a woman makes an excuse to touch a man ..,

Online ., it is difficult to know when someone is touching your photo ., perhaps there should be an emoticon for ., I just accidentally touched you

What about stalkeks who views you again and again!!!

great answers. Every gal is different, but I think your answers are mostly universal. I also tend to have difficulty making eye contact if I find someone 'breathtaking', but that doesn't happen often.

Excellent .. thanks Blondey! .. didn't quote everything .. would've taken too much space ..
Have noticed that there is also a difference between the nationalities .. American girls tend to be much more opened and straight to the point, than others. Sometimes they say, what they're interested in or not instead of playing those guessing games at all, lol
European girls usually give out pretty clear signals too, which are fully understandable, if you're not completely blind oc., but Asian women - they act in their mysterious ways .. no signs .. no word or whatsoever, sometimes just ignoring you out of the blue for days .. but at the same time still keeping up your hope ..

perhaps they have read to many articles that say men like the chase and not to be overly keen .. keep him wanting more .. I don't believe in that myself .. men need some reassurance of your interest .

I think 4 and 5 on that list seems to hold truth. We live in a different time, where both sexes are on the chase. In the old days, it was always up to the man to do the chasing.

I have the same difficulty making eye contact, if the woman I am with is "breathtaking".

Just I waiting

Men might say that they like being chased but, biologically, they are wired to do the chasing and they enjoy it. The thrill of the chase. In my experience, whenever I chased a man I found attractive, he ran away.

You girls need to be more obvious, guys like violent sports and explosions and shark fishing, not calligraphy.

So many times I finally worked something out weeks or months later, while ruminating over what the hell happened. I'm not a mind reader or code cracker !

Signals are for exclusivity and secrecy, not useful for indicating to a potential partner that you have interest in them or whatever.

Even when we know about a signal, its meaning is still uncertain:
ankle chains - is left or right free or taken ??????
No wedding / engagement ring - I don't care if you are in a defacto or a lesbian, no ring means you are free to ask out; don't blame me if you don't like it !
Getting close and cosy but that's it - do you want me, or what do you want ??
Acting flirty or jealous while with - do you want me, or what do you want ??

Straight out words usually work; no ambiguity or time lost in interpretation.

Finger point signals may work for noisy places: eye - heart - you;
but then a woman may misinterpret: "you got a sore eye and indigestion and its my fault ?"

And the OK sign with finger in and out of it may get to the point quickly, and also get you a slap and evicted.

By touching a man does that mean just on the arm, shoulder or putting her hand on his knee if they are sitting close.

I agree with you about the online thing.. it's hard to know then. But the sending of emoji's online is an easy way to get a guys attention.

I was mainly meaning in a personal situation, I think that's when most guys miss any subtle signals.

Thanks to all who have replied.

I'll do my best to look for any signals both online and in person..

Aussie if she puts her hand on your knee .. I think it is safe to say she wants your sugar lumps .. laughing .. some women are not as bold and will perhaps touch your arm or hand first .. either way .. it is an attempt to bond .. unless of course it is completely accidental lol. It cannot be viewed in isolation and needs to be read with her body language.

If you're not in a relationship together it would be a fleeting, brief touch on the arm or shoulder. I doubt a woman would put her hand on a man's knee if they barely know each other and/or aren't serious yet. I sure as hell wouldn't. When exclusive and it's clear we both have feelings -in other words: gotten to the next level- then yes, I may do such things.

It can be helpful to pay attention to fleeting touches. I won't do that with a man I don't feel it with. It's something that just happens when you like someone and feel attraction. It's not premeditated, unless you're dealing with a woman who's playing / acting.
When it's natural, you'd only do this when you like a man.

And the other way round, observe how she reacts to your and your vicinity and possible touches.
I've had it happen that a guy put his hand on my knee on the first date and I felt my own muscles tense and I moved my leg away from him. It was reflex. He quickly removed his hand. Now I had instinctively already felt he wasn't a right match, hence my body automatically rejected his touch. Had I liked him, that wouldn't have happened. I must add to say that putting a hand on a woman's knee on a first date is too much. Unless you really really hit it off.

I'm a man and I know that sometimes, a woman might be shy about making her interest known. She'll be polite, smile a bit, but that's all.

If you try to approach her and she runs away, avoids you, not because she's shy but because she doesn't find you appealing, you'll sense the avoidance.

Conversely.

Some female Octopus strangle their mate once the deed is done, then eat them.

So I’m glad I’m not an Octopus.

She wants to check your pulse .. when she is off duty

So glad I'm not either

My pulse would be racing and god knows where all my blood would go

code blue

What are the signals females give out?


Most of the women I knew when I was single used STOP signs not signals.
