Men... what are the signs?

Men:
When you are truly, undeniably interested in a woman, what are the signs? Not just a casual interest, but a true romantic interest that makes your heart flutter and overpowers your desire to meet other women. What are the outward symptoms that you show, particularly when you are around her? (This is after you have gotten to know her some.) What gives it away?

If I were interested in a lady I'd find ways to spend more time with her, or talk to her on a daily basis. I would compliment her a lot as long as I knew they were welcome. I'd also go out of my way to help her if she has problems of any kind. But as for outward appearances... maybe a lot of smiling while I talk to her and throwing really lame jokes at her. I can't really think of anything else I would do.
But every guy is different so I'm sure you'll get all kinds of answers.0 -
My overall level of interest in what she is doing, what she is saying, what is happening around us. Which means I'm quite responsive, attentive, doing my best to impress. Probably lots more eye contact, etc. I'm funnier (I hope), much more energetic.
Early in the courtship, it's important to show some effort. After the woman falls madly in love with me, I can kick back and be lazy again... ;-)

Agreeing to accompanying her to Magic Mike would be a good sign.0

This is mythological ;-)0 -
I usually poke them on the shoulder and yell that she has cooties. :blushing:0

Are you talking about a girl who the guy is already dating here? (then it takes time to see it)
Or a girl the guy is not dating yet? (in this case you can't be truly, undeniably interested in her)0 -
I would probably text and call her more than usual, a whole bunch of different things..
But mainly cause Im not a lame... I WOULD TELL HER!0 -

what are cooties?? :huh:0 -
I would say look for casual changes such as in conversation on Tuesday he is asking or talking about doing something together on the weekend as if it is assumed.
Has he picked up via conversations things you like or have done showing he is listening.
If you are thinking his actions will change like an on off switch it probably won`t.
First off that is not how guys typically do anything (yes there are always exceptions) and second any man that has been around block more then a couple times knows what a minefield that is with ladies.0 -

Around here, a sure sign of a man liking a woman is the guy asking her to cook and for him......That is, if she's a good cook. lol. And don't ever forget the canoli's and their coffee!! lol0

There wont be any games. We just basically tell you, show you, listen to you, spoil, and want to spend time and get to know you. We are alot easier to read.0

Not to derail this topic, but I'd love for a woman to cook for me. My ex rarely cooked. When she did it was terrible. I cooked almost all the meals in our house. That's one of the reasons the kids hated it when I was away on business, as they had to eat their mother's food...
I think she thought it was beneath her as a modern, successful woman, etc., etc. I get the feeling that lots of women think this way: I'm working now, cooking is what my stay at home mother did, that's not me, etc., etc. Of couse, after the kids were born, she stopped working, but never bothered to learn to cook. Which meant I was always cooking and working. But she did usually clean the kitchen afterwards, so at least that...
No doubt every woman posting here is a fabulous cook and loves being in the kitchen, etc., etc., etc. But from my experience, women 30 - 45 just don't cook. At least not well... Flame away, ladies! ;-)

You knew one of us would have to respond to this, right.
I'm a great cook and would love to cook for someone who would appreciate it.
So...
if you're ever in Arkansas, just come on by... let me know ahead of time, and I'll make sure and fix extra 0 -

No Flames necessary... if you cook well, there shouldn't be flames anyway most of the time
I do get what you're saying and think a lot of my girl friends can't cook. I was fortunate to take advantage of a tough situation. I grew up in a not so good family environment early on, so to keep me away from it, my mother routinely shipped me off to my grandparent's home. I learned everything like that from my grandmother so I think I've got pretty excellent old-fashioned cooking skills that I've worked to improve to use in a more healthy way.
My friends now ask me to handle food prep for anything, and people I worked with years ago still ask about my cookies, haha!
So it's NOT all, but as a general statement, I wouldn't argue with you!
Edited: Thanks for the comment anyway, P. Now I have my next Be Nice to Me challenge topic, haha!0 -

Haha, that's funny because I hear a lot of men say that about women in general. I was fortunate enough to learn at a very early age and I can cook & bake excellently even though I fall in your age group range there. Maybe it's just the women you meet.. we aren't all that way.0 -

Oh my oh my. A great cook. From the south. And I just noticed your name is Darla.
I think I'm getting the airs. Somebody catch me...

Well, firstly, you must fall in the low range of my age group. Or perhaps you're rounding up from 29 and six months? ;-)
And of course it was a generalization. I know many women cook, and cook quite well. Let's just say I get the feeling fewer and fewer do, sadly.

I'm just that awesome of a person!! hehe.
I come from an old school Italian family. As soon as I was able to reach the countertops (with a chair) I was cooking and cleaning. Mom and Nonna used to sit me on the countertop and watch them. I pride myself on my cooking. And I take pleasure seeing people enjoy my "artwork".
I'm a very well educated person with a Master's Degree, however that will never stop me from performing the everyday duties of a "woman's" job. Its not in my blood to be lazy, not cook, not clean, not do the laundry, and not take care of family.0 -

Um .. why do woman have to cook?? This ticks me off. The day I had to go get a job and work full time, while raising kids, while cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, taking care of my own car ... men have what right to be sad that I don't want to focking cook their dinner too. So you all complain that women don't cook, wah wah, boo hoo .. then in another topic you have the b@lls to say that you want a woman who is self-sufficient, who is thin, who is toned, who keeps herself up .. who works, who wants kids, who can cook. No ... you don't want a partner, you want someone who does it ALL for YOU.
What exactly are you bringing to the table if we are doing all of that? Your ****?? Um .. yeh .. thanks.. I will go get a couple more batteries. grrrrrrrrr.
edited to add .. not "you" as in you .. but "you" as in men0 -

If I am interested like THAT in a chick, when I am with her I usually invade her space, talk and listen without losing eye contact, I am really tall so usually when 'she' speaks with noise around, I tend to bend down leaning one ear toward her in which I one hand grab her around the waist as I do this, as if to bring her closer to me. I am a 'hands on' type of guy...0
