How can you tell if someone is interested in you, or if they are simply
being polite or friendly?

Here is what happened:

I was flying back home after working out of town for a week.
I was waiting at the gate, and noticed that the time for boarding is
now an hour later than it should have been. So I asked the girl behind
me what the situation was (she was reading a magazine). She told me
there were weather problems, so the plane would be delayed, which
sucked for her because she was supposed to meet some friends, then she
went back to reading the magazine.

We boarded the plane, she sat in front of me, as she sat down she said
to me "the plane is really stuff/hot" I agreed, and that was it.

When we landed, I exited the plane and was walking to the doors, she
was walking next to me, and was trying to hurry (since she was late),
she made a comment about how she has to rush now.

So I said "Hope you make it on time"

Then she asked if I was in town visiting, etc...I told her I lived
here, and asked her why she was in town...she said to visit a friend.
Then she asked me what work I was doing, and I asked her the same.

We got to the taxi stand, and I again wished that she would get to her
dinner on time. She said it was a pleasure to meet me.
Then we left.

So, interest? Friendliness? How do you tell?

If she wasn't into you at all, I doubt she'd have given you several openings
to talk to her.

On the other hand, talking to her doesn't mean you would have gotten
anywhere, but that is where game comes in.

She probably figured you weren't into her since you didn't pursue her at
first. Generally, in that situation, only "game" her if you can
subcommunicate to her that you know how to game. The questions you ask say
that you do not know this yet.

Please tell me. If she wasn't interested in you, why would she talk to you
more than to other people?

The main issue is...how to pick up the game.

That is true. That is why I am here, to start learning the game

Thats why I THOUGHT there might be interest.

But Ive seen many times where someone is on an elevator, and its
crowded, so the person says to someone "Crowded today" and that person
replies "Yeah, cold too" and they start talking about the weather and
how it made their commute hell that morning for about a minute before
one of them has to leave.

Thats just being friendly/polite (I assume) so I wasnt sure if that was
the case.

I do not know how to tell the differenc.

Therein lies your problem: since you weren't confident in her interest, you
telegraphed to her that you didn't have any game.

Doesn't mean you have to do that. Generally, a player will assume she is
interested until she gives him a reason not to.

The term is "IOI" for "indication of interest."

Better to assume it is the case and act accordingly, since she can always
correct you later.


> I do not know how to tell the differenc.

See above-me, the opposite of BELOW-ME.

How do you fake knowing how to play an instrument? You can't. You learn
the instrument.

How would you know who to listen to if you haven't a clue of what you need
to learn?

I hope to god you aren't one of those "useful idiots" that the gurus here
try to get money out of by trashing me. If you listen to them, you'll have
proven to me why you fail with women.

And Gordon's response says he has no answers.

She was being sociable. If she had any interest, she would have given
you her number. Plain and simple.

So only women who are into you talk to you? Are you socially
challenged?

She probably wasn't into him because he lives in a different city than
she does.

"subcommunicate"? Is that like when you come home and the internet bill
is on the keyboard because your mom wants to "subcommunicate" to you
that you should find a job instead of being a fucking loser on the
internet?

> The questions you ask say

The same can be said by the answers you give.

They're the only ones I notice. I tend to rebuff the others. Only so much
Ray to go around!

Now now, just because you're a closet homosexual who gangrapes little boys,
why do you have to go making up stuff about me?

You put the LAME in FLAME.

That's kind of like saying there are an insufficient number of
cockroaches in most tenements.

Id's say she feels pretty much like you. She is being friendly with you
because she has some interest. It is up to you to make this interest grow.
Being interested is not a "yes or no" question. Often, people are slightly
interested, somewhat interested or very interested. She might talk to you to
know if you are a real man, you have to show her.

Im new at this too. I would ask why you didnt make more of a move at
the first time you spoke with her. I have found this bit difficult.
Maybe someone can throw some light on this.
