I was chatting with a female friend the other night, and our topic went to the sort of falling for somebody but keeping it a secret; but then my friend warned me that men can tell if women are falling for them or is already secretly in-love with them, or girls have something for them, she says that they are sensitive to some signs that a women are showing and or the way we react, that's why she said that women's emotions were most of the time being played at by men when they ever found out that we have a thing for them. I just want to know if it is really true that men can really tell when a woman is secretly in love or falling for him? Guys! What are the signs that makes you realize that women do have something for you? Please enlighten me...

I think the discussion is very interesting and though it is address to men I would like to say something, when girls fall for a man then she will give many hints which is common for a man to know that the girl is right there for him.

yes it is true that some men can tell if a female is falling for them but not all men huh, because some men are so insensitive.some don't realize what we are doing for them, or maybe they are just acting as if they don't notice something. as for my husband when we were just in the courting stage, he immediately noticed that i was interested in him, which is true actually.he told me after i accepted him as my boyfriend that maybe he did not pursue me if i did not show him some gestures that i was so madly in love with him. at first ,i was a bit embarrassed but i guess i was not wrong in showing off what i really feel for him because if i didn't, i would not have a husband so loving and caring like him ;)

Hi Edorms, I don't know if that's true at all. I have had crushes on guys and have thought that they maybe picked up on some sublime hints that I threw out there when they asked me out and I accepted. Maybe the did. I really don't know. I work in the public and it is part of my job to be friendly and smile. That is not to say that it is all fake at all. I really do love dealing with people. It comes natural for me to smile and be friendly. I have been taken off guard many times when a man misreads my friendliness to be something more. It happens so often with men that I would never think twice about dating that I tend to think that it is a game of chance. I don't really believe that men have a special radar for this sort of thing. If so then it isn't very accurate but once in a while it is.

I don't think there is a universal answer to this question. I think it depends on the guy and the girl and sometimes cultural or other factors even play a part in it. Some guys are really perceptive and can tell even if the girl is not very obvious about her affection. Other guys don't really pay attention to signs and completely overlook them even if the girl is very obvious about how she feels. Then there are times when a girl might just be friendly and outgoing with everyone, but guys want to read more into it than there really is.

Well woman who's inlove with a guy tend to be so obvious most of the time. They do thing unexpectedly for the favor of the guy. For man it is common to give favor to a woman, but it is not the same in vice versa. So you woman can easily be caught, if you love a guy

Hmmm.. let's just put it this way, this thing is happening in a two-way-traffic kind of way. Meaning to say both the gender can tell if there is some one of the opposite gender is falling for them. It is something that we are all born with, nothing special actually. But I must say that for those who have experience in relationship, they are better at detecting it. Cheers.

I wouldn't say it is easy to know whether a lady is interested in me.. A woman is the most complicated creature! LOL... Well, there are some signs which may make a man know that a particular lady is interested in him... For any reason!! Maybe, she just wants to be friend.. Or maybe, a relation... Many ladies chose to be friends first and then try to judge if the guy is good for them... It is quite natural for their part, too... I would say, a guy can understand whether a lady is interested in him or not... Falling for him, would be hard to judge...

Hi edorms36, by the love cannot be kept secret for long you can try but you wont do it for a long time especially when you are meeting this man regularly. The signs are in your eyes and the body language will sell you off. Not unless the man is not the sensitive type.

as for me, I have girl-friend, I just notice that they are becoming sweet to the guy they like and some of them like asking some question to that guy, they just want to talk to the guy they like, do something just to get notice, and some is they get shy when they are near or the guy they like is talking to them.
