How to tell if a (shy) man is attracted/interested?

[noclueses]

Hi, I'm loving Keith Lemon atm hence the obvious username, ha!

Anyway, I'm well away from my teenage years, but after being single for a bit, I seem to have no clue anymore in telling whether someone is attracted unless they are VERY direct.
The issue is, I've dated those very full-on men and it doesn't last, they aer not my type and imo turn out to be controlling (at which point they get dumped). I like shy men, not socially so much but with women. The vulnerability is attractive to me as I'm sensitive myself. BUT I just can't tell with them!

Please tell me what to look for, to distinguish between friendliness and attraction. I'm interested in one guy and he looks at me a lot (I do same) but it's all sort of 'circling around each other and no action' - all at his work place where he is the boss and where there are always onlookers, so how do you tell? sorry that it's quite a silly thread but I can't stop thinking about him.

noclues he knew I was interested and was working up the courage to ask me out but it took a lot of encouragement in the form of cups of coffee/meals for him to do so. The initial friendship phase meant that we already knew each other quite well when we started dating so things moved quite quickly after that. Good luck

thanks, B. If he does call me back re business matter, I'm thinking if I should come up with something that s not too direct but shows interest, just thinking what exactly.

So you don't know whether he's single?

noclueses If you want then give me his name and phone number and I'll chat him up for you, he might be very flattered i would if some lady was after me but as i have quite a solitary existence then that s not likely to happen;)!.

You really need this "innocent shared interest" thing ti get the ball rolling, that's what the key well might be you must by now have some idea of what you might have in common between you?. Did you say you only went there to that office once in a while is it branch or deport of the firm you work for or do you just have have go there like if there're clients of the firm or organisation you work for?.

noclueses Been a bit quiet in here, did you get any further or has it all fallen over?.
