littlestar Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 If a comment "you are perfect as you are" was exchanged between 2 people who hardly know each other - and the person was talking about how they felt they needed to lose a few pounds and the girl says to the guy "you are perfect as you are" and the guy says "Thanks" and breaks eye contact and looks down at the ground. Is this a sign he likes her or not? Link to comment

Is this a sign he likes her or not? On its own I don't think this tells you much of anything to be honest. It could be, if the look down at the ground was a little playful shyness at receiving the compliment. But then it could just be embarrassment at the subject of his size/weight. Is this a guy you are interested in? Link to comment

Stu147 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Not me, a friend of mine. She really likes this guy a lot but wont ask him out. She thinks he will disrespect her if she makes the first move. I often wonder where these ideas come from? I think most guys in their right mind would be unbelievably flattered if a girl asked them out. I know I would (and have been). I don't see why we would think any less of that person at all. It generally seems to be expected that guys should make the first move, but heck we get nervous too. If your friend is interested then I reckon she should just go for it. At worst she is going to make a guy feel pretty good about himself. There will be no loss of respect. Link to comment
mikeca Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 tell her its perfectly acceptable to make the first move! Im not sure with women but just being guy doesnt neccessarily mean we have to make the first move all the time, I enjoyed it and found it relaxing when a girl gives me a sign. Link to comment
luxe_13 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 i would say..yes. if the person wasn't that interested, they wouldn't say "perfect". they'd sa you look "fine". the shy look away is also an indication.. Link to comment
Batya33 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 The person might have felt self-conscious. The person might have had something in his eye. He might be interested in flirting with her. If he is interested in dating her, he will ask her out on a date. I would not in the least use this "reaction" as any sign that he is interested in dating her. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 that is a weird answer. but i think the person meant 'you are just fine the way you are.' never heard it worded the other way. but tell your friend to make a move. it's okay. it's either going to go one way or the other as with anybody else.

dragon111 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 i would prefer it if a girl asked me out, i'm usually too afraid to do the asking, i don't think i've ever asked a girl out, they've always asked me, so there is nothing wrong with it Link to comment
dragon111 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 i don't think you can tell much from what you described, if he had delivered the line it would mean something, but he didn't, and his reaction you described would probably be the same if he liked the girl or not Link to comment
littlestar Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 I have tried convincing her to ask him out but she just wont do it. And i have offered to set something up for her and she wont have me do that either. She thinks her "perfect" comment was enough to let him know she was interested but i am not sure. Link to comment
Batya33 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I think it would not be a good idea for her to ask him out or for you to interfere. She should continue to behave in a friendly and approachable way but let him do the asking out. Link to comment
littlestar Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 I guess i am just going to butt out and leave it up to her. Link to comment
