Do You Think A Person Looking At You Means They Like You?

Over the years I've had a lot of girls look at me (I'm not saying that I'm Tyson Beckford, it's just an observation), and it SEEMS as if they like me, but I'm not sure if they do or not. I've heard a lot of people say "Not everyone who makes eye contact with you wants you", but what if some of them do? Maybe I've missed out on a lot of opportunities to go out with girls because I didn't know if they were looking at me because they liked me or if they were just looking in my direction. What do you think?

Are your pants zipped?LOL!People glance not only for appreciation but also if we look funny.Again LOL!Jokes apart,I think you are a handsome boy but lacking guts to speak with a girl.Next time,if you see a girl seeing you,just give back a smile.If she returns the smile back,try to utter some words and you will earn her friendship.Good luck.Cheers!

Yeah I agree with you srganesh try smiling back and if she smile back then try talking to her and you could become friends and probably later on find out if she likes you. Just be confident about it and don't look shy as if you don't know if you should talk to her. Hopefully you can earn their number and continue a great conversation later on. Good luck my man lol!

That depends u know how they are looking at you. But one can make it out by the way he is being looked at. In my country staring someone is so common and when one is good looking it increases more. It so difficult for the foreigners, as they dress differently and they feel bad about it.

No, I don't think so. It's could just be something on you, good or bad, that caught their eyes. If they look at you means they look at you unless, there was somebody who was standing or sitting exactly right behind you. I think you can recognize the look when we people really look/stare at you.

There are many reasons why a girl would look at a guy (1) the guy looks cute (2) the guy looks like her brother (3) the guy looks like someone who burned her hair in 3rd grade (4) the guy has a smudge on his nose (5) the guy looks funny and weird at the same time (6) the guy is a loud-mouth and the girl is giving him that killer look to shut him up (7) aw forget it, doesn't a girl has the right to look at a guy without the guy getting funny ideas in his head these days?

Oftentimes we are fooled by motives of why other people look at us. Most people just like looking at other people, without thinking. I am guilty of that. Just the direction of view I guess. Coz for most ladies, if they look at guys, its probably their wardrobe or something about you thats catchy but if they like you, they wouldn't stare at you just glances.

If you are just refering to someone who looks at you as you pass by, it could just mean they are checking you out to see if they want to look more or not. I often look at people as I pass by them, it does not mean I want them or like them. Now if they look, and continue looking or perhaps look back again after they pass then that is a good sign that they like what they just saw. If someone continually stares at you it could that they are interested, but it could mean you have something in your teeth. It is hard to know what other people are thinking.

When someone looks at you, it doesn't necessarily mean they already like you. Maybe they're just trying to figure if you're that someone they know. Or maybe, they're just appreciating your attire or your eyes or lips or whatever but it doesn't automatically mean they are attracted to you in a romantic way. Of course, I am not talking of general. There may be some of them who are really trying to express something to you--that they like you. The only way to know what is is to approach them and start a conversation.

When a compete stranger look at you then that is strange. He may be mistaken you as someone he knew before. Maybe he was fascinated with your looks. The real reason may vary. We could never be sure unless we will initiate a talk with them.

No. Sometimes people are daydreaming and aren't even paying attention to you. They probably don't even know they are looking at you. Sometimes people just like to observe other people and see what they are up. These people are just nosy. There are thousands of reasons why people could be looking at you. Not everyone that looks at you is thinking you're attractive or whatever.

hmmm I guess it depends on what situation and places? Maybe when you are at a club, peoplelooks at you, they want to talk to you? get to know you? If you are just on a street, people might just look at others randomly.

i don't agree... maybe your somehow attractive but that doesn't conclude that all the girls who's looking/staring at you are into you. maybe they find you cute or something but that's only it or maybe your staring at them first that's why they stare at you back... :)

Well, I guess it just depends on how they look at you. Some girls will use that as a way of flirting. Others, are just looking in your direction for whatever other reason. The only way to tell is to be confident andflirt back a little. Be nice about it though. You don't want to end up one of those guys walking away with a black eye all the time lol.

obviously there are so many reasons why a person look at another person and appreciation is simply among them. But personaly i can tell when a girl look at me with ambivalent feelings associated with it

:) "like" may not be the right term..."interested" --maybe. If girls who attract you look your way, smile at them (nicely, ya? not like some psycho on e). If they smile back then you can figure out what you want to do from there. (There will be days, though (& they will be many) when the girls "staring" at you might really just be looking in your direction) so be discerning. Try not to go on a staring spree as well -- we all know that it's not polite to stare. Attempt to say hello and start some small talk with the girl you're interested in, that might work ;)

No, i don't think so, there are many reason, maybe they like, they like your hair, your clothes, your smile, you look like someone else they know, but we can't presumed they like us.I never expected people that they like me by the way they look, although sometimes you can feel it but we can expect or assumed that is, lets just wait for them to tell it to our face.

Not every one who makes eye contact with you wants you is true but you should try to talk to girls and then you could know if they like you
