then why is he flirting with you to an extent where you think he fancies you?

setmefreenow · 23/01/2010 20:50

tehy don't get a restraining order,.....

Adair surely if his feet are pointing elsewhere he's going to be adopting a v strange body position. If I fancied everyone I spoke to with my feet pointing towards them I'd have to be harbouring fantasies about the postman, butcher, vicar etc!
OP if he's your friend why doesn't he know you're single or about-to-be-single, and is there a subtle way you can let him know this?

puff sorry don't get the joke[thick emoticon lol]
adair don't want to say too personal things yet i guess

It's a general body language thing (and, obv to be used in context) for if you are in a group. Have a look at your own, next time you are in a group. Chances are - where your feet/arms are pointing is who you are thinking bout/interested in, even if you are not talking to them. No, not necessarily who you fancy though (only read that bit of OP after I posted)

IsThatTheTime · 23/01/2010 21:05

Adair, I'm that now everyone knows I actually do harbour fantasies about the postman, butcher, vicar etc.

Aaargghh! If you were my sister I'd slap you sharply round the face, sit you down with a large vodka and tell you ... He can't risk showing he fancies you because HE IS A NICE GUY and YOU ARE MARRIED, as far as he knows.

Little sister ...

Stand right in front of him (closer than 3ft/1m away), look him in the eyes & tell him you're separated. Observe whether he leaps backwards like a circus act, mumbles something and heads for the bar. If so: No, sorry.

If, however, he gets back the eye contact without moving more than 2ft/0.75m further away, and utters something meaningless about how sorry, etc - you're in. Take one step closer.

If he comes over all best-friend, with arm around the shoulders, sincere-sounding sympathy and a bit of warm breath over the neck/cheek/ear - he loves you, but hasn't yet clicked that you're currently available. Disabuse him.

OK? Gah!

Sorry for hijack setmefree, he might fancy you or he might like flirting with you (usually same thing really), sounds like a goer, what have you got to lose?

IsThatTheTime · 23/01/2010 21:15

Listen to Grace, not me, she's got it covered!

setmefreenow · 23/01/2010 21:17

no hijack at all don't worry

he's not a goer..he is paying me a lot of attention but it is entirely proper and not actual flirting

I on the other hand have turned into an emotionally incontinent drooling fool in his presence and really should get a grip

lol

OP posts:
IsThatTheTime · 23/01/2010 21:25

Sorry I didn't mean he was a goer I meant it was a goer, as in "sounds like it might go ok", am again, suffering foot-in-mouth tonight!

Grace is right - if he thought you were married and was overtly flirting away we'd all be "how very dare he" , he needs to know your right situation before you can see how he responds. Am keeping fingers crossed for you!

ItsGraceAgain · 23/01/2010 21:27

mine too! Go sis

setmefreenow · 23/01/2010 21:36

I'll try
