AI Thread Summary
Indirect signs of attraction include a girl mirroring a guy's actions or speech, engaging in causes he cares about, and showing physical affection such as touching or hugging. Clear indicators of interest can be found in how much time she spends with him and her body language, like dilated pupils or playful gestures. While some suggest that imitation can be shallow, others emphasize the importance of direct communication over indirect signals. The discussion also touches on the complexities of dating, with humor about extreme behaviors like car theft as misguided attempts at attraction. Overall, the conversation highlights the nuances of recognizing romantic interest, the challenges of dating, and the importance of clear signals over ambiguous actions.

One of the most clearest indirect way to me seems to be if a girl copies a guy's actions or speech.

What indirect ways do you know?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Do things for him. Indirectly, by joining causes that he is impassioned with or to join forces to push an idea or project he is interested in.

That's very much along the lines in the OP.
 
I think there would be a temptation to imagine the best scenario here. As a "girl", I advise not trusting any indirect ways but wait for the direct indications that can't be mistaken. And maybe screw up the courage to show that you like her first. Smiling at her? If she doesn't smile back, back off.

I'd say that clear signs tend to be that the females likes talking to you and spending time with you. Also you can usually tell if they tend to touch you a lot or by the way that they hug you. Physical contact is a major sign.
 
Ask her out and kiss her. If she kisses back, it usually means she likes you. If she slaps you, you kissed her too early. If she asks how many credit cards you have before the end of the meal, pretend that you need the restrooms and run away.

Perhaps I was feeling very deeply when I responded to the "OP" in thinking that imitation can be meant on in a very shallow way such as wearing the same kind of t shirt and liking the same foods, to working drop dead hard in a charity that the "OP" is impassioned with. Perhaps the "OP" in not impassioned with a charity. In which case this is indeed redundant. Values and behaviors are probably vastly different between the responder and the "OP" due to age difference.

The girl doing something that causes the guy to pursue her is one indirect way - stealing his car sometimes works.

If the girl stalks the guy, that might be indirect sign she likes him.

I mean, seriously, anyone attracted to a guy too dense to know when a girl likes him has to be a psycho.

And any guy imagining that that girl next to him is actually attracted to him is probably a narcissist.

Life finds a balance that way so that all the mentally imbalanced folks eventually find someone to take care of them.
 
If she sleeps with you, it may (though not always) be a sign that she likes you.

Me or her ?
After of before we left the restaurant ?

If she's sober, and she sleeps with you before you guys leave the restaurant, that's probably a good sign she likes you. If she's drunk enough that she doesn't remember it the next day, no conclusions can be drawn.

When she stays married to you for 20 years, you can take the hint.

I created the thread not for personal reasons. More curiosity.

I can see the differences between your post and with the OP's. It's a worthy point.

Honestly - you guys are supposed to be physicists, what about an experiment?
All you have to do is analyse the change her heart rate when she looks at you.

Then it's a simple matter of measuring the force she slaps you with when you try and stick the ECG pads onto her chest!

Check her eyes. If they're dilated when she looks at you, she probably likes you (or she's on drugs).

When she crosses her legs check out her lead foot. If she's pointing it or rocking it towards you, she probably likes you.

Watch her hand gestures. If she's playing with things (her hair, jewelry), rubbing her wrists, or exposing her palms, she probably likes you.

If she starts touching you, she probably likes you.

If all the above signs are good, tell a physics joke. If she laughs, it means she definitely likes you (or she's a nerd, which is even better).

Bob's guidelines are really good. Another indirect sign is if she gives you a discount on the whole hour because you didn't last 5 minutes. Keeper!

You just "know", but to break it down, yeah it involves mirrored body language along with a look in their eyes. You can tell that for some reason they're just really excited to be talking with you, but are trying to suppress their excitement at the same time.

a tilt of the head indicates genuine interest in what you're saying

Why can't people figure stuff out for themselves nowadays? I'm sick and tired of those threads. Dating girls isn't rocket science.

I think Bob said it best, but you can never be too sure with even those signs...Us females can be very tricky sometimes.

No, it is much more complicated than rocket science.
