A rather interesting topic came up recently. I was asked about ways in which a girl could drop hints to a guy to let him know that she likes him. Talk about asking the wrong question to the wrong guy. But then again, i could probably come up with more unconventional methods for a girl to woo a guy than the vice versa, which of course doesn't really help in my resume, unless i'm gay, which i steadfastly don't think i am.



It brings to mind some conversation my friends had in poly. I don't remember how it lead to it, but i do remember clearly that at some point of time, one of my friends said, "Next time you want to woo a girl, go up to her, give her a push in the shoulder and say, 'Oi, ai giah steady mai?'" If any of you are crazy enough to try that, don't blame it on me if you didn't get it, coz you might as well have been saying, "Oi, see what see, want to die is it?" Personally, i have no idea what is so funny about that last sentence since i do not watch durian king on fridays.



So how would a girl let the guy know that she fancies him without saying it outright? How to drop hints without the hints go unseen? I still stand by my reply to my friend that such things are dependent on the situation, and the people. But two hinting techniques does come to mind. First would be to ask the guy if he had ever thought of looking for a partner. If you do it enough times, you should be able to rehabilitate the guy unconciously :)



A second technique would require more finnese. It involves getting a mutual friend of yours to talk to that other person. Of course, do ensure that your mutual friend is closer to you than your um... target. Then your mutual friend would say something like, "I think abc kind of likes you, what do you think?" There you go, you'll then find out about what the other person is thinking.



Um.. this is about all i can think of without enough sleep. I'll let you know if i can come up with anything else :p Nitez.
