Original Reddit post

So aside from directly asking a guy out (end goal), what are some good ways to show you’re interested prior to it? Or what are some things you can do to show that you’re receptive to the interest he’s showing you? I know this is subjective, but I’d like to hear different answers. I’d like to take my time with this and don’t want to ask this guy out immediately. The goal is kind of like a slow burn or friends to dating (if things go well). My reason behind this is because there’s a guy I like that’s showing interest and I’ve never truly gotten to enjoy having a crush and be flirty back. So how can I show interest prior to asking him out? Pleaseeee don’t just say ask him out because I plan to do that, but I’d like to at least enjoy having a crush and the timeline that goes with it. Thank! 23F btw submitted by /u/AdministrativeLynx83

    Keep in mind that a lot of us guys are horrible at picking up cues. So trying to do subtle things may not be picked up by him.

    There’s plenty of times I’ve found out later a woman was showing interest in me and I missed it.

    All that being said. Smile and do the hair flip thing. Maybe he picks up maybe he doesn’t. Bring him some lunches now and then that you’ve cooked. There is some truth to the old saying. “The way to a man’s heart is his stomach”. If you don’t know how to cook there are plenty of recipes and videos online.
