When it comes to the art of picking up, sadly the burden falls mostly on men.
Some of us do it quite well -- thank you -- while others seem to need some assistance.
The lucky ones need not do a thing because women usually come to them.
If you ever wonder if this is the case with you or whether you are just imagining her flirtatious ways, here are 10 signs that she is indeed picking you up.
Number 10
She is relentless
Some women show a degree of interest but then expect you to take over. Others are interested in you and have no qualms about letting you know, over and over again. Whether she makes sure to walk past you (back and forth) while you're at a nightclub or she keeps bumping into you (literally), chances are that she is trying to send you a signal.
Number 9
She is suggestive
When she talks to you, she happens to throw in a comment here or there; she may even play with her hair, smile and make an overtly suggestive move. Whatever her cup of tisane, if you find that she is sending strong messages, your intuition is probably right. If you want a stronger sense of assurance, ask whomever else you are with at that moment for their opinion.
Number 8
She wants a follow-up
She may not be the kind of gal to go home with you that night, but it's clear that she loved the sneak preview, was turned on by the conversation, and wants more. Just because she cannot do more that same night, does not mean she will not take the opportunity to ask for seconds. If she asks to see you again, take it as a great sign but do not sound desperate. Give her your number and tell her to call you, this way you'll see how much she really wants you (if at all...).
Number 7
She inquires about where you're going
You may run into a dame early on in the evening. Knowing full well that you will likely head off to different locations, she may ask you where you will be heading next. This indicates more than mere politeness; she wants to make sure that your paths cross again.
Number 6
She introduces you to her friends
At some point, she may think that you are a great guy. She then may want to connect your social circle with hers by introducing you (and maybe your friends) to her gals. This serves two purposes: if she introduces the two groups, it could mean that her friends want male companionship, if she introduces only you, then you are in, but you can expect her friends to size you up.
Number 5
She sells herself
Whether or not a woman is confident, she will likely want to show off her assets and strengths if she is interested. If you notice that she's giving you reasons to think that she is worthy, ask yourself some questions.
Number 4
She discloses more
Women do not generally volunteer too much information, so if a woman trusts you enough to let you in on a couple of personal things, take it as a great sign -- especially if she happens to mention that she is not wearing any underwear...
Number 3
She only has eyes for you
Some women move around the bar like tigers searching for flesh, others are just out for a good time and let themselves go. But if you notice that a particular kitten is mostly tame and has her eyes set on you and only you, then it's likely she wants you in her paws.
Number 2
She stays by your side
No one likes clingy people, unless of course, you crave the attention. This is especially true on the initial encounter. If you find that a certain woman is staying close to you, reinvigorating the conversation and excessively flirting with you, chances are she digs your style.
Number 1
She invites you over
Sometimes you have to be blunt. If all else fails and she really wants you, she may be forward enough to invite you over for a nightcap. If you don't read into this signal, then you might want to read this article again.
If any of these signs seem all too familiar to you but you came home alone last night, chances are you missed the boat.
