I would say if she was just being polite, her body language woud still be closed, no matter what she
said. That\'s kind of a tough thing to hide.
I
titled my post as I did, because I realize that one can only speculate and generalize about these matters, but then
that doesn\'t stop countless people from writing whole books on the matter, so here it goes.
[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
Let\'s say a man demonstrates interest in a woman. This would
be done in various ways that any \"astute\" woman would pick up on I would think. It does not, however, go so far
as to include a direct request for a date, or a direct declaration of interest.
So, after the woman
\"realizes\" that the man is interested, and she has gotten over her intial reaction of being \"blown away\" by
his apparent interest,she \"appears\" to be relatively open/recepive, BUT how does a guy know the difference
between 1) behavior that indicates she is open, recpeptive, and 2) behavior that indicates she is being civil,
polite, freindly, tolerant etc, because she wants to maintain good relations, but isn\'t actually interesed in
more serious \"advances\"? I entertain scenario #2 because we are part of group that sees each other a lot.
I would say if she was just being polite, her body language woud still be closed, no matter what she
said. That\'s kind of a tough thing to hide.

Thanks. That\'s one good point I can watch for. I was told something
before about looking for whether women\'s body language was \"open\", especially pertaining to the breasts. I
think I kind of forgot about it. Could you provide some clarification and/or examples on what you mean by,
\"That\'s kind of a tough thing to hide.\"?
By saying that\'s a tough thing to hide, I mean that your body language is telling what\'s going on
in your head. It takes a lot of practice and concentration to not only control what you say, but what your body
says. I would think it would come across as very awkward or stiff, and many people just don\'t think to do it.

Okay, I can grasp
that. However, is it possible to give me any description of \"open\" body language vs. \"closed\" body language.
Much appreciated in advance; I have to milk you women on the forum(no pun intended), because I\'m not going to get
any female input elsewhere. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
Even if a woman likes you back, she might not make herself too obvious b/c she wants to maintain her
assertiveness and is waiting for u to ask her out. Whatever signs the guy gives to show he is interested, if she
mimics that in some way, then that may be a green light. eq. if you are always looking at her and come up and talk
to her and then u later realize that she looks at u more often and either comes up and talks to you or is open and
relaxed when you continue to continue to come to her, she may be interested.
possibilities of her just being
nice? you gotta feel her out (not physically!) meaning you gotta see if she\'s talking to u as her friend
(talking loud, punching ur arm) or if there\'s something about her aura that says she interested (eye contact,
warm smile, complimenting, etc.)
but remember all females are different
Good advice.
I know I\'m not of female orientation, but maybe I can give you a few ideas.
Most
women will judge you very early on. This can mean within a few seconds of seeing you or after a few moments of
conversation. Once you have passed this stage, you are on neutral ground, you can either impress her into higher
levels of attraction or bore/scare her to the extent that she leaves/runs away. As Aphrodite said, all women are
different, and the various stages you have to accomplish to reach higher levels of attraction can happen anywhere on
the spectrum of never to instantly, all depending on aspects of the womans mood and personality, and nothing to do
with you. That being said, you can positively change a womans mood by gentile flattery or just being an interesting
person to talk to, which are both curiously enough good ways induce attraction.
When you next strike up a
conversation with a woman, take note of her body language in the different stages of the interaction. It\'s easy
enough to find some basic information describing positive body language (even a search on this forum would be very
usefull), but it\'s better for you to learn how these apply to real world situations, so get out there and start
observing!
As a side note, one of my favourite signs of interest is body angle with regards to you, if they are
are turned towards you then they are likely to be interested. You will probably observe how a woman\'s body will
gradually turn to face you during the course of a conversation. That\'s an easy one to observe.
Body language has to be read in groups of signs or actions. One action can mean several different
things. For example, a girl can keep her arms crossed in front of her because she is depressed (and feeling small),
or because she is insecure (and is trying to reassure herself), or because she is closed off to whomever is speaking
to her, or because she is cold, or because her breasts are large and heavy and she supports them that way, or
because she is holding something, or because she is feeling erotic and is actually rubbing herself, or because she
is angry and trying to hold herself back, etc.
If a girl smiles a lot (and I mean she shows her teeth) and she
laughs and her eyes are bright and she is not easily distracted, she is probably very interested in the person she
is talking with. She may keep her feet pointed toward that person. She may initiate touching (and she could touch
herself or the person she is talking to). She may deliberately turn her back to other people. She may step close
or lean close to the other person to hear what is being said. She may look down in brief submission every now and
then if she is attracted to the other person.
Self-touching which indicates interest includes rubbing. Usually a
leg or arm. So, if she is softly caressing herself, she is possibly very interested in/attracted to the person she
is with.
A lot of these actions depend on her personality and how comfortable she feels. Some guys are very good
at making women feel comfortable. Once they get that comfort going, they start leading the girls to share their
feelings. It\'s a very seductive process.

Hmmm....you have some interesting stuff here. I think I read about
the mimicing thing before, and I noticed that she was doing it for a while, but it MAY have stopped, OR it may just
have appeared to stop because I have slowed down my advances, so there might not be too much to \"mimic\". We went
through a stage of some playful interchanges and little bits of touching stuff, but now we have \"entered a new
phase\".(love that phrase) [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
I miss the playful phase. What I
feel now is that she is much more calm, relaxed, and serious. By \"serious\" I don\'t necessarily mean really
heavy or somber; just not playful, joking or smiley. This is partly what is throwing me for a loop. As I mentioned
in the beginning, I can\'t figure whether this \"attitude\" indicates a neutral acceptance of me as an
individual, and a desire on her part not to give me \"the wrong idea\", OR is she simply switching over to a more
\"mature\" posture and presenting me with an open, calm, relaxed attitude, attempting to show me that I can
approach her and make my move if that is what I am wanting to do. In the beginning, I actually found her behavior to
be quite girlish; including giggling and embarrassment from my attention, but not anymore. I am thinking she might
be kind of \"smart\". She might have started to suspect that I didn\'t like and/or understand her girlish
behavior before, which in some cases I was translating into rejection; possibly because I am still sometimes stupid
when it comes to reading flirting behavior(of that type anyway).
As for your comments on way of talking and aura.
She is definiely not loud, or playful now. I would describe it more as soft, feminine, kind, maybe even submissive,
accommodating, or willing to please. Once again, I see 2 possible interpretations: 1) she\'s trying to be
\"kind\" in her rejection of me; 2) she is attempting to show that she is open to me making a move.
Eye contact
is something that is a really big thing for me. I like using it. We have some really serious eye contact; like DEEP
and LONG. However, I see it as coming from me, in that I see myself as the \"doer\" or \"initiator\", if that
makes any sense. Any short interactions I have with her, I give it to her deep and long(no pun intended), and she
basically \"meets it\", meaning she doesn\'t look away and doesn\'t seem uncomfortable with it. For example
after I dance with her, maybe we have a little bit to say(like she apologizes for dancing so badly, which she does
ONLY with me) and I continue holding her hands and doing the DEEEEP eye thing. Sometimes when I reflect on how I do
this to her, I think,\"whoa, that\'s pretty serious\". Like, if she is not wanting my attention, this should
really creep her out. However, she doesn\'t SEEM to be creeped out by it. Like I said, she seems to \"absorb\"
it.

MadMaxx,

The following is from David J. Lieberman, Get Anyone
to do Anything , St. Martin\'s Press:
Did you know that gazing into a person\'s eyes can actually make
the individual fall in love with you? That\'s the conclusion of numerous studies on attraction and romantic love.
In one particular experiment, two opposite-sex strangers were asked to gaze into each other\'s eyes for two
minutes. This study concluded that the act of simply looking into another\'s eyes for only a few moments was
enough for them to produce passionate feelings for each other (Kellerman, Lewis, and Laird, 1989).

Hmmm.....well, you gotta
wonder a bit about all these \"studies\". If there\'s any truth in that one, that would mean that by this point
I have produced a hell of a lot of \"passionate feelings\" in this woman, given the number of times I have gazed
deeply into her eyes. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
MadMaxx, it works. Believe it. We guys are so clueless about this stuff, when I finally started
learning how it all works, I really wanted to kick myself for all the years I was in doubt about what various women
I\'ve known (and sometimes loved) wanted from me.
MadMaxx,
Glad to see you dancing up a storm out there [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] .
Another thing you should take notice of when you are gazing deeply into this woman\'s eyes is are they really
dialated or not. The more dialated they are, the more attracted to you they are. This is a involuntary thing. In
other words, the eyes don\'t lie.
I use this all the time to gague interest. It has been correct pretty much
all the time. Anyone that I\'ve dated, gotten extreme compliments on, and thinly veiled suggestions on sex (still
suprises the hell outta me) I\'ve notice at the very least heavy eye contact. And those that I remember to note
pupil size, they were really dialated.
From the sound of it, this lady is very attracted to and interested in
you. The question is do you want to move this relationship further? She\'s pretty much telling you that the
ball\'s in your court and is expecting you to be a good salsa dancer you are by leading her onward.
Just make
your decision quick. She probably won\'t late too long to loose interest.

Thanks Swinger. Everybody keeps mentioning pupil dilation; the problem is
the environment is always so dim that I don\'t think it is possible to detect.
I myself am afraid of the
\"slowness\" factor.
That is definitely a danger for me; but if that happens I will have to live with it. She
had a very \"strange\" and immature way of responding to my early advances that made me draw back. She may or may
not be aware of that now. I hope(and suspect) that she might be aware of it, because that may cause her to give me a
little more leeway.
Other than that, regardless of how I feel about her, there are serious issues which lead me
to question the wiseness of advancing further, and that will probably be the death of me.
