Subtle Hints Foreign Women Give When They Like You
Dropping hints is neat, but there’s one problem — men aren’t always keen observers when it comes to this.
Female psychology is more sophisticated than reading a child’s mind. It requires skill for you to understand them, especially if they’re unsure of what they want.
It becomes even harder when they use hints instead of telling you how they feel. And sometimes, you just find it hard to pick up on subtle hints that tell if they like you or not.
The Thought Processes of Women
It’s a strange fact that women sometimes say what they don’t mean. They communicate indirectly and prefer to be understood by how they convey their emotions. Consequently, they think dropping hints on men they like works because of this indirect communication approach.
In effect, misunderstanding happens more often, making you confused over and over again about whether to continue making the next move or not.
Research suggests that women’s brains are wired for better analytical and intuitive thinking compared to men’s that may be optimized for motor skills.
Similarly, women have enhanced social cognition and verbal memory, while men have better spatial skills.
Roughly speaking, this is one of the many reasons why you’re likely to receive only subtle hints from a woman who likes you.
To help you understand, here is a cheat sheet of hints you should look out for:
1. They flaunt their best features.
Women feel confident when they know they have great features. They tend to flaunt it more when they’re around someone they like.
The noticeable wearing of eye makeup, tight-fitting jeans, high-heeled shoes, or even choker necklaces are some of the ways they highlight their assets.
They purposely do this because they want you to see what’s beautiful about them and what you shouldn’t ignore. Moreover, it increases their confidence when they do this in front of you.
When you take this hint, you’ll realize they weren’t just dressing up for the night. Rather, they were making themselves more attractive to you. And this makes them glad.
2. They’re a little extra happy with your company.
This is one of the best indicators women will give you.
When you take an interest in someone, you’re naturally happy every time you see them. And women feel the same.
Whenever you’re around, their mood is more upbeat than usual, and they might even acknowledge your presence, either by mentioning your name as part of the conversation or drift the attention of others towards you.
If it’s just the two of you, you’ll always be met with a warm bright smile.
3. They laugh at your jokes, even if they’re lame.
Corny jokes can still be humorous.
This works for women who are interested in you. It’s their way of getting you to tell more jokes, and they’ll always laugh no matter how dull it can be.
They simply want to show you that they enjoy being with you.
4. They have a bit of loose body language with you.
Women feel more relaxed with people they’re comfortable with, and this is what makes this hint quite tricky.
If you notice that they don’t hesitate to be themselves whenever they’re around you, it means that they’re comfortable, like how they are when they’re with loved ones.
However, if you don’t know each other well enough and they already seem loose with you, they’re plainly interested.
5. They feel unusually shy.
They can be naturally shy, but even more so when you’re around.
If you’re still getting to know each other and they realize that they like you, you’ll notice that they’ll get slightly nervous or a little tense whenever you’re together.
Sweaty palms, clumsiness, and a hint of self-consciousness are a few signs you might observe.
6. Their tone of voice changes.
You deepen your voice when speaking with a woman you like, don’t you?
Likewise, women make their voices more high-pitched when talking with someone they’re interested in. It’s a sign of their unspoken attraction because of wanting to stand out and catch your attention.
7. They hold longer and deeper gazes.
Staring into someone’s eyes is powerful, especially if there’s mutual attraction happening.
Looking someone directly in the eye can get awkward when done longer than usual. But if it’s with someone you’re romantically interested in, it’s a strong emotional connection that can’t be put into words.
Women who boldly look you in the eye are telling you they’re interested, so take this cue.
Hints That Men Find Hard to Understand
Even a man like you might say that you’re not that good at understanding women.
Though beautiful, they just confuse you at times.
Below are some hints women give that can sometimes be too difficult to discern:
- Playing with their hair.
Is it the wind or a falling hair clip? Or do they like me?
- Saying they’re single.
Is it for me to walk away? Or do they like me enough to say it?
- Constantly looking away.
Are they playing hard to get? Or they just don’t want me?
The Ability of Women to Recognize Emotions
Because women recognize emotions better, they safely assume that men will understand what they’re trying to say. The truth is, that’s not always the case.
The thinking patterns between men and women explain this. Because they’re totally different from each other, miscommunication and misconceptions are likely to happen.
But for those of you who really want to see through the ladies, keep the following in mind:
- Think as women do. It’s never easy, but it’s always worth it.
- Read between the lines. There’s no other way to understand the hints women give other than to think beyond what you see.
- Pay attention to them. Study how they act and speak with other people compared to you.
- Put yourself in their shoes. Make use of what you know about them and try harder.
Journeying to find love isn’t always smooth. You have to fail in order to learn.
When you interact with potential partners, be sure to watch out for subtle hints women give you or you’ll miss your chance at being with someone who was possibly meant for you.
