No no no! Not 2x4s or railroad ties (plus they're both hard to carry around in a purse or backpack). Kisses, kisses on the neck, at that spot just down from the ear. That's the ticket! :) Easy to carry, always available, and much nicer for all involved.

And anyway, men need to be more forthcoming about their interest too. At least women have the subtle signs like fiddling with their hair and the 'casual but not casual' touching thing. What subtle signs do men have for us to read???

Not being able to look you in the eye is one. It takes real guts to look a woman you're interested in in the eye.

If you know the guy well, he'll do stuff with you that he wouldn't normally do with other chics/people.

Flowers are usually a dead giveaway. Even small ones that don't seem to have any meaning attached.

Doing stuff just to do it is another thing.

I wonder what else I do. . . (when you aren't self-aware, you can't talk much about it)

Not being able to look her in the eye while talking or just in general?

As for the flowers thing, I think women pretty much had that one figured out. I mean, it isn't like flowers happen as often as rain and they're a pretty romantic gesture, something foreign to many men.

It'll depend on the woman of course, but you could always just come out and ask her. If you really want to know, that is. Face to face though, over the phone or through email and you'd miss the nonverbal nuances to her answer.

If I've learned anything in my dealings with women, it's this: never, ever, ever ask a woman out or try to root out her feelings for you in any manner other than face to face. You will fail, and she'll think you pathetic for even trying.

I've known guys who have asked girls out over email. They lose every time. Showing a little backbone can go a long way.

Girls sometimes don't realize it goes the same way, I think.

Ok, fair enough. Now where'd I put that backbone???
