What Women Do When They Like A Man?

Introverts tend to have difficulties identifying when someone is attracted to them or its just being friendly. Because of our cultures and expected gender roles, men and women often behave differently when they like someone and it can be quite confusing. Women also are expected to be more warm and friendly to people even if they don’t like them and that's where our introvert men have problems; Is she just being nice to me because its the social protocol or is she really into me?

First of all, I can’t speak for all women, I can speak from my own perspective and my experience observing my female friends. Women are usually afraid to show “too much” interest in a man because we have been taught that men are the ones who should pursuit the woman and let them know their interest in her. Its old fashion but that's how it is, if you expect a woman to walk to you and ask you out on a date, I am sorry to disappoint you but its very unlikely that would happen, even though everyday more women feel empower to do this, I would say that the majority still expects the man to take the first step, but even with the man taking the first step, there are subtle ways women let know men they are interested in them:

1. Facial gestures and body language – Smiles, staring directly, touching for no reason,  and getting closer when talking frequently might be an indicator that someone really likes you.

2. Laugh - Maybe you are just hilarious or maybe she likes you so much that she can't help but to laugh and smile at everything you say, she also laughs because she wants you to see that she is fun around and has a great sense of humor.

3. Interest in what you say – When a woman is interested in a man, she is very attentive and interested in what he has to say, she listen and ask him questions because she wants to know more about him. She also remember little details about previous conversations.

4. Always respond back messages and calls – When I am interested in a man, doesn’t matter how busy I am, I always find time to text him back. If a woman gives frequent excuses to why she doesn't answer back, she is definitely not interested.

5. Initiate conversations – When a woman likes a man, she would even start conversations with him and make sure the conversations doesn’t end, even if it means making small talk like “What are you up to?” or “How was your day?”

6. The conversations flows naturally – When there is chemistry between two people, the conversations are not forced and you both feel comfortable around each other.

7. Goes out with you – Very simple. If I like a man and he asks me out, of course I am going to say yes. If I don’t like how the first date went, then I probably wouldn’t accept another one.
