How do you know if you are desired?

[Beebop05]

Genuine question, as someone who has never had men showing any interest in me over the years (am happily married) am curious as how people know if they are attractive to others?? Or what do other people do to show they are attracted to you? Asking because DH never really compliments me etc..... So I really have no clue (literally) if am attractive or not. And I've been with DH for years so haven't any experience.

That's sad that you don't get compliments in your marriage. You'd certainly expect them from a partner or husband. It's hard for me to give an indication if your desired/desirable, but you'd expect the odd compliment, loving look, arm around the shoulder, or just being loving and attentive in the relationship/around the home.

Well, because he says so! In various ways, all the way from the romantic to the salacious. I think it's important to say nice things to each other to keep intimacy alive. He says nice things about me in terms of personality and intellectual aspects as well as about fancying me and how I make him feel horny. I say similar things to him too, so it's not all one way.
