That is so sweet!

My mate, Ryan, did that to my friend, Perri, on Friday night.. He was all scared to kiss her, and later on she said to me "What else do I have to do!?" :P
All well and good, but sometimes us guys just don't know that the girl is actually interested. Women often think they are sending signals, but these usually just go over the head of most guys.

What else does she need to do? Drop some kind of hint that is a little less subtle.

That, or jump him and take him on the table.

That's not too subtle!

Yeah, and then they would have got kicked out, and we would of had to leave Marquee! I would of killed them :P

Lack of signals pisses me off, too.. I am very clear when I like someone haha! I am not so clear when I don't like someone though, so I usually end up talking to guys I'm not interested in, all night, while the cute one is standing on the other side.. WAH!

Love always, Alyssa xoxo

I think we have to face the fact that girls are far more aware of body language than most guys. I am particularly oblivious when it comes to this kind of communication. No idea why it works like that.

Join the club. Girls like to think they're sending out signals that are as obvious as wearing a sign saying "F*&K Me". Problem is, for 99% of blokes, the sign is written in swahili.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

aahhh this takes me back. It was the same with my now wife. She ended up just kissing me. I had no idea if she really was interested. I certainly was. It all turned out well in the end, we have now been together for 10 years, married for 2.

The girls can't always just assume that the guy is getting the message. Sometimes guys would be apprehensive as if they thought they got the message but it was the wrong message, the consequences could be disastrous.
