I don't think there's a clear cut answer to that. You would tend to be more touchy feely with a girl if you were attracted to her, but you still might be that way if you were just really close with a girl I suppose. At least it demonstrates that you are comfortable with physical closeness with that person, and that's not a bad thing. Are you trying to determine whether this guy might like you? Link to comment
downward spiral Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 how do you know he is not attracted to you? Maybe he is.... I found that I only did things like that to girls I liked when I was in high school... Link to comment
mitch17 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 i wouldn't poke a girl if i didn't like her.. i think hes just flirting with you Link to comment
darkpumpkin Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 He may be attracted to you but I really wouldn't read to much into it. It's a small sign of physical comfort. I've known guys, who have joked, poked, flirted and were attracted to me but that is where it ended. Link to comment
Batya33 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Same response as darkpumpkin and some people are just naturally touchy-feely. As with all your other posts, is your point to feed your ego as far as whether he is attracted to you or are you wondering also if he is interested in dating you? It's fine if it's the former of course! If the latter, as I've mentioned flirting does not necesarily mean interest in dating. Link to comment
4answers Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Perhaps the way to find out is to watch what he is like with other people. Some people are just touchy feely people. If he is like that with others then its nothing. If he isnt then perhaps its something. Or as a completely off the cuff, Crazzzzy idea ... Ask Him ! (or bring the subject up, at least you will know... But prepare your answers). Link to comment
ghost69 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 some people will do this with others. have you noticed it is just with you? i wouldn't poke a girl unless i wanted her. Link to comment
jhinnako Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I think some guys are just like that. There's a guy at my work whose several years younger than me, someone I'd never date, whose like that. I don't think he's interested in me "in that way", but we are pretty good friends. He likes to do stuff like that. The poking/touching is pretty normal with him. Link to comment
Rozzy85 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I personelly wouldn't touch a girl if I didn't like her. However, it can be misleading. While it is a possitive sign I think some people are just most confortable with getting into others personal space. Where I work there are several woman who will sometimes poke me or touch me somewhere when close by, some more so than others. One even softly punched me in the arm today while messing around. All these women as far as I know are in relationships or married so there's pretty much nothing more to it. Link to comment
LN99 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I have guy friends who poke me or playfully hit me. But, a random guy doing it, I would think something was up. I do have a guy(an acquaintence) who brushes up against me sometimes or touches my arm, or is in my personal space a lot, but I have a feeling its just him being sincere. I know with patients I take care of, I tend to put a hand on their shoulder or back to let them know I care. As for poking, honestly I only do that to friends.... Link to comment
Leonhart Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 No! I am not a man-flirt, so I do not touch girls I do not like. Nothing worse than leading someone on. Link to comment
real2 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Nope. I have girls touching me to show indicators of interest, but I play them off as nothing if i'm not interested. It is VERY important not to lead someone on. Link to comment
