Too many men end up discouraged when it comes to women because they fail to pay attention to the clues. They meet a woman’s eye across a crowded room, walk over and introduce themselves – only to have her give a polite excuse and then leave.

Pay attention to the nonverbal messages that women send. When a woman is interested, there will be signs. Some of them will be subtler than other signs. You might notice her looking at you and her gaze lingers.

That’s a sign that she’s at least willing to have a conversation with you. At this point, some women will take the initiative and approach you. But more than half the time, a woman won’t approach a man.

Another sign that that she’s interested is that she’ll smile. This means she’s receptive and it’s up to you to take the next step. Many women will do subtle touching to show a man she’s interested.

She’ll touch his arm when she speaks to him. Or she’ll lean closer in a more intimate move. Some experts tell men that when a woman flicks her hair, that means she’s interested – but this is not always the case. Some women flick their hair out of habit.

It’s good to be able to tell if a woman is interested in you or not because that can help boost your confidence. No one likes to be rejected – and knowing that she’s open to meeting and talking to you can build your self-esteem.

However, there are times when the woman that you spot across the room makes your jaw drop and you really want to get to know her. But from what you can tell, she shows no sign whatsoever that she’s interested.

In fact, when you look at her, you might doubt yourself and think she’s too far out of your league for you to have a chance. This is a myth that far too many good men believe.

Countless women have been so burned by a relationship or are so tired of pickup lines that they give off vibes of not being interested. Having a woman become interested in you is all found in how you approach her.

If you approach her the wrong way, then you’re going to get shut down before you can say more than a few words. And that’s sad – because who knows what could have been. So the answer is to learn how to approach a woman successfully.
