Bingo. And then when they aren't looking me in the eye, it gives me a chance to check them out :)

I think "I hope she can hold a conversation and has a nice voice"

Gotta be able to talk to them, otherwise its a waste of time.

How pretty/hot they are, how they're dressed, if she has a nice personality (funny, relaxed, etc.), if she's fun, cool to hang out with usually gives me a good first impression.

Well I've been involved with martial arts rather heavily, add to the fact that I'm asian and my university is situated in a central midwest town, I tended to downplay that heavily because I quickly fond out that I do not like being seen as a caricature.

As far as meeting someone for the first time, I try to look at how they react as I'm walking towards them/they towards me, if they maintain eye contact, dress, and how they introduce themselves/their manner of speaking.

I dunno - I first notice how they interact with other people, they're mannerisms.

Interesting.

The girls I am with feel 'protected' because I know how to fight and that I olympic weightlift. I tell them the weightlifting has nothing to do with it, as you get many strong guys that can't fight worth sh!t.

I look a girl straight in the eye and introduce myself. I ask her name and we make chit chat. I notice how she carries herself and where she is looking. I'm looking at her face to see if I find her attractive :p. I'll look at the rest of her body also but I'm into faces and eyes :thumbsup:. See how she holds a convosation and we just chat.

Guys: Look at their haircuit, their cloths, and if they have enough muscle to crush me like a tin can if I accidentally piss them off.
Girls: If I even think I see one from the corner of my eye 5 yards away, my reaction is, "OMG! A girl! I need to post a YAGT on Anandtech Offtopic, stat!"

Topic Title: YAGT: I saw a girl! Is she into me?
Topic Summary: 30 year old virgin that still lives in his parent's basement who's still afraid of girls
Created On: When I should be away from my computer all the time and get a social life.

OP: I was walking in the park, and I think I saw a girl out of the corner of my eye! She didn't see me, and I was to scared to go up to her and say hello, do you think her behavior means she's into me?
Random ATOT member #1: Pics?
Random ATOT member #2: Pics or ban!
Random ATOT member #3: Go up to her and ask her if you can stick it in her pooper
Random ATOT member #4: TTIWWOP
Random ATOT member #5: In Soviet Russia, girl asks out you!
Random ATOT member #6: Chu** Norr* would kick her in the head, then ask her out!
OP: UPDATE: I went up to her and said hello and asked her for her #. She told me she already had a boyfriend. I feel like such a fVucking idiot :( Maybe I should've showered and worn something other than my Green Lantern t-shirt and flipflops?

I picture them naked and analyze in my head if that is satisfactory, and the answer is usually yes.
