If someone keeps pushing and brushing up against you, are they usually hinting that they like you?

Well they are very interested in you, but it;s hard to say whether they want to have a long term relationship or just want to jump your bones. The two are not mutually exclusive; maybe its the latter and she may be open to the former once she gets to know you.

If you’re not in a relationship now, go ahead and ask her out. You have little to lose but the time you spend, and a world of possibilities.

Who knows?
I know when someone tries that with me,I get pissed.I think of it as a overt sexual “move” and it usually disgusts me.

Earthquake preparedness training?

It is likely that they are interested in you, especially if it is a woman.

In my experience they just want sex and don’t confuse that with a caring relationship if you do get involved.

Putting one’s body on another persons = sexual intent.

Asking a person out for a date or flirting enough to get them to ask you = desire to get to know another better.

Exactly what @SpatzieLover said.

Teenagers are so silly. :) Assuming you’re a teenager.
They sometimes push you when they’re interested. Or when they just hate you…

XD.
Yo sis, you assumed so wrong.

The question sounded very teenager. Haha. And I don’t know the guy. XD

@AshLeigh This is a 40 year old woman we are talking about.

When I say “pushing” I mean they are pushing their own body in to me, not pushing with hands.

There is always the chance that it may not be either. We once interviewed a man for a job who evaded our comfort zones of body space. For example, when I gave him a tour of the office, he practically had his chin resting on my shoulder.

There was a woman who we hired as a consultant to come in and facilitate a session in my class every other week. It quickly became clear that she was a touchy-feely person. When she would show up, there was a tight hug, and then she would sit next to me until introduced and stroke my arm.

I doubt that either of these people had any interest in me other as a potential employer and a client. It was just their way.

Pushing as in full length body contact? Or is it like being close and you kind of “bump” into each other because the space is too small? Where is her head in relation to hers? Can you feel her breasts? Is it like dirty dancing?

Does she look like she has a hard time in relationships? Is her conversation awkward? Does she flirt verbally? Do you respond? Do you touch her in return? What happens?

Do you get the sense she likes you or just that she is physically attracted to you? Can you tell the difference? Does it happen often that a woman will push herself against you? Have you followed up?

How do you feel about this woman? Are you attracted to her? Would you like a purely sexual relationship or a one night stand? Do you want a relationship?

She could be a woman with poorly maintained boundaries. Perhaps hurt by men in the past. Maybe she thinks the only thing decent about her is her body and that’s all men want. Or maybe she’s really attracted to you and just wants to make sure you don’t leave without understanding she’ll take you anywhere. Have you ever asked her if the place had a bathroom? Would she show it to you?

I don’t think any of us can read her mind. It’s up to you to take any next step, and to decide which step to take. Do you just want “free” NSA sex? Sounds like there could be some for you to have if you like.

I’m having a hard time envisioning exactly what you mean by pushing her body into yours. If that happened to me (and it has on buses and at concerts, and there was “wood” invovled if you know what I mean) then I would slam my purse or elbow into them and shout very loudly, “What the hell are you doing!? Back up or I’ll call security.”

Please explain a little more clearly exactly what this lady is doing.

Some people, men and women tend to get too close to other people, especially in lines, because they don’t understand boundaries, like what @wundayatta said. Those kinds of people creep me out. Other people may accidentally get pushed into me, and I can deal with that, and politely move out of the way, or say “pardon me” and it’s fine.

There are plenty of women, I usually see this in clubs, that rub up against guys that they’re interested in. They usually accompany that move with a very silly laugh, even if the guy hasn’t said anything funny, and they tend to twirl their hair (even if they’re in their 40’s). They also might pretend to show you something on your arm or your face or your chest, so that they have to touch you. These people are usually drunk, but not always.

Sometimes yes but most times they just state the fact they don’t like you.

@poisonedantidote, that just sounds inapropriate. Haha. She probably just wants to plow you.

It sounds to me like what @Kardamom is describing at the end of her post as something some women do, a physical flirtation come on. Once again, I’d suggest you go for it with her if you aren’t involved.

What @Kardamom and others describe as men rubbing against them in crowds, on buses and at concerts, is frottage, part of that excitement is the anonymity of the fetish in a crowd.

@Kardamom

At one point I was sitting in an armchair when she came over standing up and pushed her pelvis against the side of my arm so hard that my elbow nearly bruised her cervix.

She would stand behind me looking over my shoulder with one hand on each of my shoulders, pushing her tits in to my back as she talks in to my ear.

Yea… typing out exactly the kind of things she was doing kind of makes it all more obvious. I guess it was obvious from the start, but I’m not interested in just sex. I guess the real question is does she want a relationship with me? even though im about 10–15 years younger than her, my life is much more established than most men who are older than me. I’m not sure if she sees me as a potential stable partner, or if she just wants to eat me.

And the problem with this is…?

Is this a Salon? Are you getting your hair cut?

@poisonedantidote Yikes! She sounds pretty sexually aggressive. Since she is so much older, it’s likely that she’s looking at you for one of those cougar/cub kinds of relationships, which is mostly about sex.

P.S. Did you have to postpone your trip to London, considering the rioting?
