major_merrick Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 OK, so other folks feel included, I'm starting this thread patterned after the other two signaling threads. For men signaling men or women signaling women, what methods do you use? What behaviors have you noticed out in public? And for folks of other genders, do the cues vary, or is there a mixture? Since LGBT dating carries with it a certain amount of stigma and the threat of hitting on someone who doesn't share your orientation or worldview, how do you mitigate that? In my dating life, I could never figure out what signals to use with other women. I guess my methods worked, because I was rarely without a relationship. I would flirt, make conversation, and then get to a proposal in short order if all I wanted was some quick sex. It was tougher if I was interested in a relationship, just because I didn't want to seem too forward and scare off a good potential partner. A lot of times, I tried making non-threatening physical contact. Light brushes across her arm or down a hand, for example. Leaning in to adjust her hair, or making a ton of eye contact. More forward if I knew she was interested in women, less so if I wasn't sure. Link to post Share on other sites
