How To Tell If I’m Interested
It’s a new year, and with that comes some new self-evaluation. I’ve been told by many people that I’m hard to read, especially to guys, so in the interest of shedding some light on that, I’ve written a handy guide to my own (and hopefully other ladies’) behaviors. Enjoy!
If I’m Totally Interested:
A guy enters the room.
1. I make eye contact, then look away, since I’m a little bit shy, and don’t want to get caught staring too much.
2. I’ll sneak glances at him to make sure he’s still around.
3. If he approaches me, I’ll smile at him.
4. I’m probably flustered at this point, so I’m short on words.
5. Since I’m interested, I want to know everything about this guy, so I’ll ask him a question about his life.
6. If he hasn’t left, I’ll try bringing up something I’m interested in (in my case, usually improv), so I’m not quite as nervous.
7. I might bring up something personal about me, because I want to be more open and honest.
8. If he’s still around, I might drop eye contact and stop talking, because I’ve run out of things to say even though I’m still interested.
9. Finally, if he asks for my phone number, I give it to him, because I want him to text me.
If I Think A Guy Is Creepy:
A guy enters the room.
1. I make eye contact to see if I know him, and upon realizing I don’t, I look away so as not to encourage him to come over.
2. I’ll sneak glances at him to make sure he’s not on his way over to harass me.
3. If he approaches me, I’ll smile at him so he knows I’m not some intimidated, fearful person who he can manipulate.
4. I’m probably flustered at this point, so I’m short on words.
5. Since I’m not interested, I don’t want to talk about myself, so I’ll ask him a question about his life.
6. If he hasn’t left, I’ll try bringing up something I’m interested in (in my case, usually improv), so that he’ll get bored at my nerdiness and leave.
7. I might bring up something personal about me, because I’ve heard that if you’re too needy it will turn guys off.
8. If he’s still around, I might drop eye contact and stop talking because I’m hoping he’ll go away.
9. Finally, if he asks for my phone number, I give it to him, because I’ve been caught off guard and don’t know how to react to that question.
See? My behaviors aren’t completely idiotic and ambiguous! I’m so glad I could clear this up for everyone!
