Let’s talk a little bit about “signals” this week.

Women send them to you ALL THE TIME, and if you’re like the majority of men, you’re completely illiterate about reading them.

I’m going to actually list them at the end of this article, so you can never “wonder” about this again.

In fact, print this list up and put it on an index card to have on hand with you at all times.

Ever find yourself in this little scenario?

There you are, walking down the street, and you lock eyes with an attractive woman. You both hold this stare for as long as you possibly can.

Then, you pass her, and after a few paces, glance back only to find she has done just the same thing. Your hear skips a beat, and you wonder, “should I talk to her?”

If you are like most people you keep walking, regretting that you didn’t take the obvious opportunity to go for it.

Why is it that we receive an OBVIOUS social signal from a person we are clearly attracted to, only to find ourselves walking away from a golden opportunity?

Part of it is conditioning and part of it is fear.

Fear, a most devastating force, trains us over time not to trust ourselves. If we did, we would know the door was wide open, and would walk up and start a conversation.

Think about how many similar opportunities you have had, and with a simple change in your thought pattern, what kind of difference in your life would that mean?

I bet it’s pretty big.

You know, the old “Carpe Diem” mindset which so many of us NEVER live up to.

If a girl gives you eye contact, and holds it for just a bit longer than is the custom, it means EXACTLY what it means when you do the same thing…she feels that jolt of attraction.

She sees you, and feels her chemistry change in that moment, JUST LIKE YOURS DID.

It is the magic of attraction - when you see each other, and something in you says “yes”.

What usually happens is that we pass these open doors all the time. Sometimes it is not feasible to approach the girl.

We might have a meeting, or might be running late to work. There are many viable reasons not to stop and talk.

I think most of us intuitively know what this magic moment means, and we simply don’t trust ourselves to go for it.

Nike said it best - Just Do It.

Another definite signal she is definitely into you is if she smiles at you.

Sounds obvious - and it is obvious.

But, I bet you’ve also let that opportunity pass you by too, haven’t you?

She wouldn’t smile at you if she wasn’t attracted to something about you. I once knew a guy who was above average in attractiveness, who had smiles from women all day long…he thought they were “just being nice”.

In fact, this is an opening to begin a conversation. It is a signal that her first impression of you is a good one, and that she would be interested in meeting you.

I recall once being at a restaurant with some friends of mine. I had made eye contact with a woman a few tables away.

She kept getting up for one reason or another, and each time she would she would glance our way, and then parade by our table to reach her destination.

A friend of mine pointed this out to me. I then made my introduction to her later in the night, and eventually dated this woman.

Also, if a woman is in your vicinity, and she opens her body language to you by facing you, this also is a good sign that she is open to meeting you.

Imagine you are in a group of people, carrying on a conversation. When you speak, she faces you with her body.

But, when someone else speaks, she turns her head to hear them, but her body still faces you.

This indicates that she is more interested in talking with you than with anyone else in the group.

Also, pay attention to your body language in social situations.

When you see someone that you find attractive, don’t you subtly open your body to them?

What we are doing is signaling the other person, subconsciously, that we are interested in having a
conversation with them.

These subtle cues occur within social settings constantly.

If you can recognize them, you will begin to see that women are communicating with men via their behavior and body language all the time.

These are signs that, initially, she feels some attraction for you. By noticing these, you will feel a greater amount of confidence when making your introductions later.

One last point on these initial signs: if you notice a woman, and she does not signal you in any of the above ways, it might simply mean that she is preoccupied or that she simply hasn’t noticed you…YET.

In any event, go ahead and make your approach, what do you have to lose? There are no hard and fast rules here as that would be way too easy, and therefore, unrealistic.

Go for it anyway.

With some good conversational skills and a solid personal style,your first impression will be great anyway.

Your chances are then very good for entering into a positive interaction with the woman you have approached.

Here is a list of twenty-five ways women signal initial interest to us:

1) Repeatedly glances at you from across the room
2) Walks by your location, going out of her way to be noticed by you
3) Smiles at you
4) Positions herself so that her body is open to you, wanting you to see her
5) In a tight environment (say, by the bar or on the subway) will subtly, and purposely, bump you to get your attention and prompt an “excuse me”
6) Stands close to you, subtly encroaching on your personal space
7) Repeats herself, and talks about boring things to keep the conversation going
8) Asks you personal questions
9) Ignores her friends or cellphone to keep talking with you
10) Touches you in any way while speaking with you
11) Compliments you
12) Talks about you in any way to other people
13) Introduces you to her friends
14) Flirts with you
15) She asks you her name early in the conversation
16) Brags about something in her life, trying to impress you
17) Laughs at things you say
18) Talks for a longer than normal amount of time
19) She fills in awkward pauses
20) She agrees to spend time alone with you; even a small side conversation at a party, bar, or other social setting
21) Asks if you are single
22) Fixes her hair, clothes, makeup, etc
23) Plays with her hair while talking with you
24) Agrees with everything you say
25) Has that “doggy dinner bowl” look - her eyes glaze over and her lower lip pouts. This one’s a biggie!

You don’t have to witness all of these to know if she is into you or not. As few as one or two may all you get.

But, that is PLENTY, OK?

Again, take the step now of cutting & pasting this list onto an index card and stick in your back pocket.

Commit these to memory, and train yourself to start MOVING once you get any of them, OK?

And when I say moving, I mean in the direction OF the woman!

If you now find yourself wondering, what do I say when I make my approach, how do I make my approach, what do I say after I engage her in conversation, how should I stand, what should I wear, how do I ask for her number, where should I take her on a date, how do I make my move and kiss her…

etc, etc, etc

If you’ve just asked yourself even ONE of the above, you need to seriously consider my ebook “How TO Get A Girlfriend, OK?

It’s easily the most comprehensive ebook designed for guys who are looking for dramatic improvement in their dating lives.

AND, who aren’t really “into” the whole “pick-up artist” nonsense.

I’ll give you the edge from “The Game” but in a way that doesn’t ask you to engage in wierd, social games designed to trick women.

What I give with “How To Get A Girlfriend” is…

The POWER of choice with women.

Choose your next date, girlfriend, wife…

It’s time to get this handled.

‘Til next time,

  1. cool, the problem comes when you begin to feel validated by seeing these signals. this conflicts with an inner feeling that tells you that you don’t need to do anything “coz u could if you wanted to”. i guess it all boils down to inner game, but knowing too much can stop you.

  2. nice article.

  3. That list of 25 signals is great!! The key is to act once you notice a couple of the signals…

    there is nothing worse than thinking back on an encounter and realize you fucked it up by not acting quick enough
