Sounds encouraging to me :)

Wow, I am a girl that sounds like the girl you described !
I don’t know why but I find it intimidating when somebody stares at you and is always looking for something in your eyes. Don’t get me wrong, I like it…I just don’t know how to react - that is all.
I think maybe she would rather get to know you a little more, and hang out before things get too intense…
I would just keep smiling at her, don’t give up.
I think I give boys the wrong impression by not looking at them for long enough, but really I am just shy. Boys must think that I am not interested or something, but really - if they just persisted a little longer and got to know me they might find out that thats just my personality…

Good luck =)

Dude at least she talks to you. When I was 15 I really liked this one shy girl. No matter what I did she wouldn’t even talk to me. I managed to talk to her once, but it was short and to the point. That’s the worst. At least you’re doing better than I did.

actually.. im the girl in this question and i do these things. i just wonder why the guys dont follow up after that..haha

You lost me. What do you mean? Some guy keeps looking at you, but won’t keep eye contact?

that means, im talking abt a guy or guys who behave like that in the question towards me. and im the “girl” in the above question. this is how i behave towards him and im wondering what does he think of it. and erm, yes, i’ve problem keeping eye contact @ times.

I see now. Sorry about the misunderstanding. I knew a girl kind of like that. She would try to give “hints” to guys that she was interested in. The only thing is a lot of guys like myself don’t pick up on subtle hints. Personally if I were the guy and you were acting nicer and speaking to me more, I would think it was just the normal progression of a friend relationship. Unless there were some blatant reason to suspect that a girl liked me or she said so directly, I’d never know. I wonder if I missed out now. Hmm…
Oh yeah I just remembered. There’s always the juvenile approach of having a friend tell him that you like him for you. I don’t strongly recommend doing so, but it’s a possibility.

haha its alright (: so what do you recommend a girl do to show her “blatant” interest? ive been having this problem of not showing my interest properly for years now.. and i wish to change it. cause alot of things dont happen when the guy thinks im not showing interest (when i am!!)

haha, i dont really like to have my friends do these sorta things for me. they end up ruining things usually, and i dont want to be made a fool of. besides, usually i keep my love interests rather private and prefer to handle it myself. heh :P

Well you could try the one method open to guys - asking the person out. Of course nothing sets you up for possible rejection more than asking someone out. Asking someone out is simple, direct, and to the point though.

haha i dont think i’d ever do that though.. i rather the guy did the asking out. all i can do is just be obvious abt my interest. but seems like, being obvious is never obvious enough.
