Let Her Know I Like Her Without Annoying Her Date?

Table of Contents
  • I was at a friend’s house recently when I met this really far-out girl. I could tell she was turned on to me because she moved closer to me on the couch, but her date was sitting on her other side. Was there any way I could have let her know I liked her without annoying her date? He’s a football player!

The smile is always a useful signal to let her know just how much her appearance pleases you. Since she took the first step by moving closer, you could have responded and moved toward her. It shows that you not only recognize her signal, but you’re also answering it with a positive signal of your own.

An accidental touch or a brush against her is a further signal of your interest. You might touch her arm or thigh—or even let your foot touch hers without her date knowing it. A lovely turn-of-the-century drawing by Charles Dana Gibson shows a man and woman, under the girl’s mama’s watchful eye, making body contact under the table with their feet while both look innocent and demure. If body contact is established, don’t move away.

Of course, catching her eye and holding it speaks volumes, but don’t let her date catch you at it. You’re right to be careful with football players!
