You were obviously
but a mere pawn in this couple's sex wars. He was probably checking some girl out previously. In fact, somewhere in a parallel cyber-universe, perhaps a girl has bemoaned boys who check you out and turn out to be encumbered. You should try and find her.
thanks for that quite profound answer
i was expecting more of a yeah girls are bitches LOL
but the thing was i wasnt like ogling her or anything, she started looking at me!
Maybe she thought she recognised you
and then had that embarassing, 'shit it's a stranger I've been staring at' revelation when she realised she didn't. I sometimes do that. Or perhaps she forgot she had a boyfriend briefly. Probably less possible.
OR
You're so goddamn sexy that she couldn't take her eyes of you?
cheers
TWICE?
she did it two times
maybe she....
...needed to clarify if her first instinct was right.
If that is the case, then she either realised the error of her ways, or unfortunately she thought you wasn't that good looking after all :(
In summary, yeah girls are bitches LOL
but she like smiled at me
definately encouraging me to do something. the fact that i didnt is irrelevant!
Do you have hunchback or anything?
maybe your zip was undone
or she thought you were that bloke off that thing.
what bloke off what thing?
and she was looking in my eyes not my crotchular region, also if she was nice she would have told me my zip was undone
if indeed it was which it wasnt
who does she think she is?
it's obvious. All girls with boyfriends should wear burkhas and sunglasses so that this eye contact/are they single? nonsense doesn't happen again.
i think so
its the only way really.
by the way im aware you were taking the piss, i just chose to ignore it
yeah
can't say I blame you. my wife reckons she was probably just window shopping. She never does this of course as I'm man enough for anyone.
That last scentance
reminds me of Top Gun. I don't know why. Probably the GAY thing :)
but then....
...she might be second guessing what you would be thinking, had she told you this:
"Why was that girl looking at my crotch?"
Judging by your profile pic
you do remind me of Alexa off T4 in an odd way. The same way Alex Zane reminds me of a dead clown.
im pretty confused by this
maybe
she is trying to find a new one?
this thread has more legs for sure
it needs to have them amputated.
ill amputate you in a minute
she might've
had a wonky eye.
was probably looking at everyone, at once.
cheers
youve made me feel better :P
Maybe she was just browsing?
Like, just coz she had a boyfriend and wasn't ever planning to do anything with you or whatever, doesn't mean that she didn't find you attractive. Look but don't touch and all that...
this is my favourite answer so far
Bet this one beats it
UR HAWT LOLZ
YESSS!
Basically
She wants to know if you're interested in her. She may not plan to act on it but everyone likes to feel attractive. It's the same reason I flirt with girls despite having a long-term girlfriend. Just makes you feel good innit.
Indeed
Also, there's an element of danger in the respect that her boyfriend could catch her. .Or, she wanted her bf to realise that other males find her desirable. .
She was also teasing the poor young boy, attracting him with her gaze when she is ultimately unavailable. .
Nothing particularly noble but 'armless essentially.
i do this
but I'm single. so i'm not like a bitch or anything. I do wonder if i'd still do it if i had a boyfriend. Some habits are pretty hard to break.
You
would definitely still do it, I suspect!
ummm
probably. I've kind of got into the habit of doing it now. It's nice when you do it and the boy comes over. Although admittedly sometimes you're too pissed to notice.
I don't think I like you actually.
Claire Roberts
me?
.
i hate girls that do that.
it makes my job harder, as a single girl.
i guess my gay friends kissing me don;t help either though.
what is your job
as a single girl?
ha.
to try and strike up conversation with someone i like/admire from afar.
never really happens though. and said people i'm too scared to talk to are usually the quirky ones who look shy but cute. i wish i had more confidence!
I think it's guys who should make the move...
or perhaps I'm old fashioned!
i've always been the one to make the first move
in the past, i guess because i'm impatient.
is it better to wait and let him do/say something? from a guys pov, is it intimidating for a girl to make the first move?
no way
i'm always too shy to speak to girls because if i do talk to them i just KNOW i'll go up to them and start talking about stuff like pokemon and they'll look at me like :| and then i'll be like :(
that doesn't have much to do with girls talking first does it.
ahhh,
see if that was me i would respond with my favourite pokemon and then he would think i'm an idiot because i don't choose the right one.
the best one was once i walked up to a guy in a club when i was rrrrreally drunk and called him 'stunning' complements always go down well - we dated.
i guess i just start talking to the wrong ones!
talk to the shy ones
they're shy so they will never speak to you but if you get bored speaking to them then you can just turn your back to them, emotionless, and walk out of the club.
i'm great at giving advices :D
i'd just be polite at least...
there's nothing wrong with saying, "i'm sorry i have to go and find my friends, but i'll see you later, yeah?" is there??
i say that all the time, and when i like the person so they think i'm not a loner...
basically i like meeting people!
Not intimidating, no
I think most guys would be flattered if a girl made a move on them.
Personally speaking, I've always made the first move and did so with my current girlfriend, though I've always had to be slightly tipsy before doing so!
But I think it depends how confident and good you are at flirting, I suppose... which I am rubbish and will never know how to flirt without looking like a prick.
my confidence just goes with
a new friend is a new friend, even if nothing happens there still could be a new friendship from it! so the worst is they think you're a bit wierd, but nice.
i guess that depends on how small the social scene is too, and if you see the same people around all the time.
In da club
I certainly dont assume that every apparently single girl (or gay male) that speaks to me thinks I'm attractive. .Maybe Im naive, but I usually just consider them to be pleasant and friendly. .Unless they insult me or something, that wouldnt be a good technique.
you made me think of
50 cent
treat 'em mean
keep 'em keen
Maybe
you should physically attack the boys you fancy. That would provide a pretty memorable first impression.
"how did you meet?"
"she punched me"
certainly a talking point.
Girls
like more than person.
i think i'm starting
to dislike drownedinsound, some of this is actually just offensive. Bring back martowski i say, at least he had some wit about him
not me
;) x
one*
person
She
didn't pick up her complimentary blindfold at the door?
Just because a member of the opposite sex uses the gift of sight to navigate their way around the world does not mean they are making a sexual advance towards everyone their gaze happens to land upon.
i beg to differ
if she keeps staring then the girl is clearly infactuated by the person
or she has missed her appointment at the opticians.
either way, you're in their mate!
*swap infacutated for
drawn in or inticed
in their mate
lol
in their mate

in their mate
wut?

in their mate

I think repetition is justified.
was it a Norwich club?
if so then half you're answer's right there
Girls w/ boyfriends looking at you = flattering
Getting all worked up about it makes you look deperate.
Girls w/boyfriends kissing you, on the other hand...
