How Do You Know When Someone's Goo-Goo Over You?

January 30th 2007 05:58

That's the question!

The question that drives us, that motivates us, that infuriates us.

How on Earth is one to know when the opposite sex is into us?

Their intense stare? Or are they just creepy?

Their flushed face? Perhaps they just ran a marathon.

Their intense grin? Laughing with me or at me?

Open body language, that's the tell. Ah, just stretching, were you, sorry.

Those suggestive words they're uttering? Just learning the English language, are you? Good luck with that.

Embracing me snuggly from behind? Thanks for the Heimlich, that doughnut chunk went down the wrong way.

Human beings

an inelegant, awkward race

who still somehow manage to muddle through courting and love rituals

to populate the world with clueless offspring

who grow up and wonder how on Earth to recognize when someone's crushing on them.

I tend to be very obtuse when it comes to such things. Glad I'm not the only one!

If you don't know by now darling, I suspect you never will. You are moving in the wrong circles. Most offers you can usually do without.

If you want a bloke, get serious, or you'll end up with trash, it's happening all the time and to some of the nicest people.

Get real, get wise, get smart.

It requires concentration.

Hi Nina,

he he, it's so embarrassing when you read more into someone's behaviour than there is. You could just die.

Thanks,

Pegasus

Hi Katyzzz,

Thanks for your advice. Too true that its easy to end up with trash!

Don't worry, this post was tongue-in-cheek - I'm not this dense about the subject.

Cheers,

Peg

Hi Peg,

Love is such a tricky game. Lust maybe less tricky.

In any case, I often think about the dumb things we did in highschool. Like stare at the guy you like from across the play ground hoping he'll notice through 300 kids. And then get upset when he doesn't.

Okay, maybe that was just me. It wasn't just me was it?

Love & stuff
Mrs M

Just the opposite sex? ;o)

Hi Mrs M,

Ah, yes, the cross-playground stare. I'm sure most have tried that one. Too bad the recipient of those intense glances were often oblivious. Nope, you're not the only one to suffer through that!

Nice to have your comments!

Hi Lily,

Glad to bring you a giggle or two.

I appreciate your encouragement, thanks.

Hey Epiphanie,

Good point, it is even more of a minefield when its same sex relationships, I'm sure!

Thanks for your support,

Pegasus

I think if he/she starts making out with you, high-school style, then that's a pretty good indication.

Peg,

Oh by the way, my friend Dave really likes you. He wants you to meet him by the shelter sheds after school. Ahhh.....it was so easy at school wasn't it!

Great post....I got quite a giggle! It's true too. How embarassing is it when you totally read a guy (or girl) wrong!

I guess part of the fun is the uncertainty though isn't it.

Yes, that IS a good question.

Sometimes someone expresses their infatuation by over talking, sometimes by not talking at all. Sometimes we express love by being mooshy, sometimes by being mean. It's a pain in the ass to know!

Fun Facts

I've usually been able to tell, but there have been 1 or 2 occassions where I've discovered that I've been admired from afar for a very long time by a certain person, and only found out from their friends about 4 boyfriends later.

Now of course I don't have to worry about that sort of thing. Husbands tend to have that sort of effect on you. ; )
