so, i met this girl today, through some friends, and we were hanging out at my house, playing pool. skip to end, they were leaving, i was leaving, we were in my driveway. i gave each of my two friends (females, both) a one-armed ‘friendly’ hug. then, i went to say goodbye to the new girl, and she gives me a two armed hug. and, when she let go, she let her fingers drag across my stomach! now, of course because i think she is cute, i want to think that she was flirting with me. i also know that i can only tell when i am not involved (like telling my friend ‘dude, she was totally flirting with you!’) because i am biased by my own hopes. so, you dopers, i have reported the true facts as they happened. now tell me, was this girl flirting with me?
Fingers dragging across the stomach is definitely flirting. No question. I do it, consciously and subconsciously, but it’s always when I am into a guy. So don’t fret, she likes you.
She just met you, and she does the two armed hug/ tummy tickle? She totally likes you. I also do that, but only with guys I like. I do the two armed hug with guys I don’t like, but if the tummy tickle is there, then there is no question.
Like, duh. amati, are you just playing dumb? Nice try.
ladyfoxfyre, I am thrilled to see you use my quote in your sig! Flattery will get you everywhere! kiss
(yes, I’m flirting) 
Aw, hell, I miss dating.
A 35 year-old lady at work (who has worked 67 hours in the last week and is probably insanely manic by now and whose daughters are 19 and well able to harass me sexually themselves, and do) yesterday caught me around the waist when I nearly tripped. She spent the next thirty minutes flirting fiercely with me and I spent the next thirty minutes desperately (remember I’ve been working too) rebounding her not-unattractive lounges. I am not unaware of the realities of such a world.
Brother, she was flirting. Whatever you do DON’T immediately blow it and ask her out. She is worth chasing. Organise an ambiguous outing and get as ambiguous as you dare, and let me know everything that happens. I miss ambiguous like a post-nuclear hero misses vitamins5

ps: the minute ambiguous gets out of your control ask her to hitch up. It ain’t worth messing up, either.
Awww thanks TN*Hippie, how could I resist such a quote? It’s one of my favorites
kiss back
(two armed hug and drags fingers across stomach)
well, i had a feeling, but i’ve botched things before so i wanted to be sure. the next evening is already planned. we are going to have a movie night at my house. so, what should i do or not do? please don’t let me mess this up! i am obviously completly inept.
[goosebumps]Oh![/goosebumps]…[shivers up&down spine]…uh…[/shivers up&down spine]…[blushing]Thanks![/blushing].
It’s amazing how with the slightest physical sexual innuendo men automatically lose 50% of their brain functioning ability.
Teeheehee…
yea, and no one ever accused me of operating at 100% in the first place.
hehe. I love Ross’ input here. “I miss ambiguous” is EXACTLY the word for the way I feel. It’s been too long. Anyhoo, amati, keep it ambiguous! Just chill. If she’s really interested in you, she’ll make herself clear. Unless she wants you to make the move, but don’t make it too soon. Movie night is perfect. Try to ensure that you sit next to her on the couch or whatever, but don’t be forward about it. Or, you could go the other way and make sure you sit down first, leaving everyone else to sort themselves out. Make sure it’s in a situation where people aren’t already standing by their seats and you just plop down-- go sit down before other people are about to. And see what she does (she will sit next to you!). IMO, that stuff is what it’s all about. And, yeah, tell us what happens!
Another thing, if you’re concerned to know for sure if she digs you, ask your friend who brought her along if she’s a very huggy person. That’s always worked well for me-- especially if there was any “set-up” aspect of last night’s activities, your friends will DEFINITELY have been watching closely.
Everyone else is wrong. She probably had a booger or something. The two arm hug was so she could check out her hands unobtrusively. The tummy-drag was to wipe off the offending mucus.
She’s not into you at all. You are just a really big hankie. (If you gotta ask, you are either A. 12, or 2) Too stupid to date. Either way you deserve this.) <–That was just me being mean. Chicks are weird and hard to figure sometimes. She digs ya.
-Rue.
so, the movie night. apparently the other people that were there were working for me. we watched one movie (o brother where art thou?), then everybody that wasn’t me and the girl had something else to do. oh darn. i really tried to make them stay, i swear. so, then the girl and i watched the matrix. ok, we saw part of the matrix. well, at least we heard part of the matrix. final conclusion: she was flirting with me. thanks everybody!
Are you saying you were making out? So soon?! You SLUTS!
::shakes head::
Kids these days…
Good on ya, dude.
amati was just bragging all along. 
bragging ? i am not…ok, maybe just a little. but i did start this thread because i have no fucking clue about women. really.
Welcome to the club, dude.
It sucks. But then, if you get lucky, so do they:)
You see? All women do that, it’s in our secret handbook.
