Aww this is a nice thread!
Well, when I like someone they'll know about it! I tend to be outrageously flirtatious and quite forward about the whole thing, and quite confident outwardly... inwardly I do be petrified!!
I guess I just try to project what I'd like to get from a potential partner, if that makes sense. I make it clear I'm interested, and I present a good image of myself as a confident, funny person, even if I'm nervous

One happened me last night! I get on really well with this guy from work I met at a house party a few weeks ago, we chat in work when we run into each other and last night, we were both at a work event ... he came over to say hi, put out his hand to touch my arm ... and accidentally brushed off my boob. He got really embarrassed. I got really embarrassed. Then I started laughing and couldn't stop. When he tried to strike up a conversation to avoid further awkwardness, I couldn't focus properly because I was desperately trying to hold in my laughter! :pac:
When I like someone, I generally tease them and flirt A LOT. I act really interested in anything the say and act really enthusiastically when I find common ground and have things in common with them.
I get shy too though ... when they make eye-contact, I blush
I generally try to act cool and impress them!0 -

Walking away without saying anything after talking to her for a good while is kinda strange! No harm in just saying you have to get back and do a bit, you'll chat to her later
If I like someone I talk to them, you have to do a lot of that before you find out if you really do like them after all. I haven't got any embaressing offerings for you, sorry!
Why don't you just ask her out? The worst she can do is say no, but at least you'll know either way.0 -
Well not without saying anything but like we'll be mid-convo and I'll suddenly have to go and just go "woops, sorry!" and bail.Why don't you just ask her out? The worst she can do is say no, but at least you'll know either way.
Ah she'll be workin with me for a few weeks, plenty of time for more flirting and talking yet. I don't wanna rush into anything with someone I work with (as I've fairly recently found out how explosive that can be). Half the fun is in the not knowing though, so I'm gonna keep it going like this for a while! 0 -

This (boob brush by accident) happened to me once with a new girl in work (I was a waiter at the time and it was her 1st or 2nd day). Omg. I'm cringing here with the thoughts of it, but it was a total accident and I apologised my ass off, probably to the point that it was really obvious that I liked her. Never saw her again.

Haha, that's happened to me loads of times! Best way to deal with it is just go "Woops, jesus I just touched yer boob there, sorry about that! .... Well done though." and then laugh. But make it clear the 'well done' part is a joke or you look like a perv...! Always gets a laugh for me anyway! 0

Ah you can't blame the guy for that, how could he miss those warlocks :pac:This (boob brush by accident) happened to me once with a new girl in work (I was a waiter at the time and it was her 1st or 2nd day).

Lmfao. She never came back? You made a lasting impression then?

That's what the guy did last night! Poor him! I just laughed a lot... We got over it though, eventually!
It's so mortifying when something like that happens - not only does it break the ice, it bombs it and blows it to pieces!Ah you can't blame the guy for that, how could he miss those warlocks :pac:
:mad: Are you being sarcastic? I'm an A!0 -
Generally, when people like someone, they want to be closer to them so say if they're sitting beside each other they will try and have their arm touching the other persons or whatever! If that makes any sense!
I tend to just laugh more around people I like 'cause I'm happier Or the good old "Tell me a secret" line! 0 -

it does but i think sometimes this signal can be misread. someone who is flirty anyway canl do this without thinkingGenerally, when people like someone, they want to be closer to them so say if they're sitting beside each other they will try and have their arm touching the other persons or whatever! If that makes any sense!
me too, i tend to laugh and giggle alot. but then, i don't bother to hide when i like someone. i think i give enough signals and let him do with them what he wants.I tend to just laugh more around people I like 'cause I'm happier Or the good old "Tell me a secret" line!
doesn't always work mind you.
a girl can think that the signals she is giving off are like a big neon bingo sign, and you'd have to be blind to miss it....and vice versa
and yet, its not until later you discover he didn't see them at all
and i'm absolutely sure i've missed the boy "i like you" signals many times0 -

My liking someone is usually characterised by saying something really stupid. Like mentioning ovulation, or something to the same (bad) effect.
Or I go into hyper-comedian mode, as if I'm thinking 'if I can make them laugh, then I can make them love me'.Nervous Wreck wrote: »No no no, I'm not looking for advice! Just people's stories!

I would not dig the nickname Barbie, at all.0 -

She didn't like it either so now I use it to tease her. 0 -
When I really like someone I do all the wrong things. Well no, I start off ok, eye contact, chatting, laughing etc but then I start getting all wierd and I get clingy and a tad overly touchy. oh, and if we're out or somewhere alcohol is involved I steal their drink, as in take the glass from their hand and take a sip. Also when I get really drunk around someone I like I get all parnoid and think that they don't like me at all. Like the other night I got quite drunk and a boy i'd kinda been kissing on and off (that I really liked) brought me to get a taxi and I started saying things like "no, you're just trying to get rid of me 'cause you don't want to take me home!" oh...I'm a disgrace
It still seems to work sometimes though! 0 -

I think when I like someone I slag them too much and then get all Chandler Bing on the situation. Worse case scenario they think I'm an asshole who's constantly ridiculing them.
Does the accidental boob brush ever go unnoticed? Whenever it happens I know I'm thinking "**** I just touched her boob", but then the lack of reaction occasionally makes ya wonder "maybe they're like some sort of external flotation device and she didn't actually feel it". :pac:0 -

Accidental boob touch is nothing! Try accidental face in boobs!
In 2nd year we were playing volleyball against the girls school. I went to an all boys school. I went up for a ball and someone pushed against me, I lost my balance and went face first into one of the girls.
It was like a slow motion shot in a movie "NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo" face first into her chest and of course she just happened to have MASSIVE boobs.
The roars and cheers from both schools looking on still haunts me 0 -

Vinny, your story is the stuff of dreams sir, the stuff of dreams.
If it was now, I might motor boat them or something, like an old sailor
Who am I kidding, no I wouldn't. I'd glow as red as I did that day. 0 -

You should track her down... "Excuse me, I believe I once face-planted your considerable bewbs." ... then you could study what she does when she's attracted to a guy, or what she does when she knees you in the balls. Either or. 0
