This article describes the different kinds of women's behaviour when around other men. How do you know if a woman likes you? Can you pick up on the subtleties of what a woman is thinking when you are engaging in conversation? Does she take an interest in what you are saying and what you look like?

Dating women is sometimes a science. From personal experience sometimes it is difficult to understand how to know if a woman likes you and what a woman is thinking. Does she take interest in what you have to say or what you look like? Lets look at some key indications you might be able to pick from a woman that might let you know she is interested in you:

Negative signs:

1) Body language: Does she face you when you are in conversation? Women who are just on a date to pass the time of day will often fidget, face slightly off your angle or glance around at the environment.

2) Making excuses for not being able to catch up: Guys, this should be an obvious one. If you try to get her phone number, location or other identifying information or you try to organise another time to meet and she says she can't make it or she's busy on several nights you offer her, it becomes clear she is not interested. Any interested female always makes time to catch up, give her phone number or give you any information you want to further your contact with her.

3) Pay close attention to what she says - If her tone is neutral and her intentions seem nonexistent, this is usually a sign she doesn't want to take things further. It's best to let her know it was great chatting and move on. Remember, if a girl doesn't like you, she won't say so. Most avoid trying to hurt your feelings by coming out and rejecting you so you need to pick up on this behaviour.

Positive signs:

1) Facing you is very important because this shows she is paying attention to what you are saying. If a woman is facing you most of the time and is listening intently, it is a key indicator of her interest in you. Does she maintain eye contact with you? If so, this is another good measure that she is listening carefully to you. Most of the time if a woman is not looking into your eyes, she is not interested in you enough to listen or take interest.

2) Does a woman play with her hair? If she does, this generally means she is trying to draw attention to her face. This can be a good thing because it can mean she likes you looking at her. If she is showing her features to you it means she is interested in expressing her outer self in a way that accentuates her physical features.

3) Is she talkative? If a woman is keen to tell you about her friends, shopping, weekend interests or hobbies and she is talkative, this is the sign she wants to get to know you more. This is your chance to take the upper hand and advance the communication to a higher level. Become passionate about her topic. Yes I know, if she's chatting about her new high heel shoes maybe you prefer to be watching football. You don't understand why it's so exciting, but they do. So just go with it. Get excited! Ask them how they feel to wear, and whereabouts she should wear them when she's out. Ask her about the quality of the leather and the upper sole and if they would look good on you... (This kind of humour really excites a woman).

4) Does she like to chat about your appearance, car or humour? If her conversation involves you and what you do in your life, it's very clear she wants to know you better. Guys this is a no brainer. Here you can start going off on exciting tangents to excite the taste buds. Make up something hilarious because humour is not only funny, but a tease and will leave her begging you to tell her the truth about you. Make it a game!

Most guys can sense interest from a woman. Knowing the answer "How do you know if a woman likes you?" with these tips should give you some starters. And remember, always plan for humour because being funny is not natural to most guys. Knowing some really corny pickup lines can be a time to laugh and share a great time together.
