Here's my thing, apart from sucking at approaching half the time, I do manage to start some reasonably good conversations with girls but I never know if they are being social/friendly/polite or are genuinely interested.
Today I was on a train journey with several delays. I ended up chatting with the girl I was sitting next to. Every time there was an announcement about the delay we would make the odd comment to each other and for the last half hour or so of the journey we talked pretty much non-stop.
I found out what she had been up to for the weekend (a friend's wedding), where she had been on holiday this year, her dream job, movies she loved etc. This is where we really clicked as we would recommend movies to each other and most of them time we had seen them or had them on our to watch list.
We had good eye contact, she was smiling and she was also asking me a few questions about where I lived, worked etc. but not as many as I was asking her. I asked the odd question to see if she would mention a boyfriend but she never did. She also didn't say outright she was single (but I guess why would she?)
When we got to the terminus I asked her name and told her mine and we walked off the platform together. She had to go one way and I went another so we waved and off she went. Afterwards I was playing it all over in my mind and wondered if I should have just asked for her number - now I know there will probably be a resounding chorus of, "of course you idiot!"
I am always reluctant to mess up a nice chat if she is just being friendly so I wish I was better at recognising interest. In the past friends have been surprised when I haven't asked a girl I was talking to for her digits because as far as they were concerned she was giving off all the right vibes.
How could I have found out if she was interested or was she interested anyway from the what I have written about our conversation? How do you guys know when a girl you are talking to is interested?
