Does he like you or playing you

Examine his body language. If he likes you, you may see that he rarely turns his back to you, often leans towards you, and also looks at you a lot. If he slouches his shoulders when near you, he’s romantic and cares about what you have to say. If he points his shoulders and pelvis towards you while sitting, he is definitely feeling something for you.

Notice his eye contact. If he likes you, he may either look away quickly if he is shy, or he’ll try to catch your eye and hold it or make faces. This can be uncomfortable if you don’t like him. If you feel like you have held eye contact just a fraction of a second longer than you would with anyone else, or if he looks away quickly, then there is something there. When he’s around you and he says/does something funny and everyone around laughs, his eyes will flicker towards you for a second to see if you laughed, too.
His pupils may dilate if he likes you, but this is quite hard to pick up on, and you might come across as acting strangely by looking that closely into his eyes. If you’re around him for a long time, it could be easier to pick up on gradually.
Listen to what he’s saying. If he likes you, and he’s nervous, he’ll probably start talking about himself. Many times, guys feel the need to prove themselves- especially if you talk about another guy in his company.

Be aware of touching. He might put his hand on your arm when he laughs, and won’t move his leg if it happens to touch yours, or he may hug you for small things – all are good signs of a guy liking you, unless he’s a bit of a “playboy” who flirts with a lot of girls. See if he uses any of the tricks in How to Touch a Girl, and see if he uses them more with you than with anyone else.

Watch his actions around other girls and see if he treats you differently. Some guys flirt with other girls to get your attention. It gives them a chance to see your reaction, and helps them know if you really do like them or not. You can tell that they are trying to make you jealous if they find little times when they’re flirting with the other girl to look at you. His eyes will flick over and look at you. Another sign is that when you leave, he stops flirting with the other girl. That will be a harder one to pick up on, but you can have a friend to look out for you or something like that. You have to be sneaky sometimes to find out if a guy likes you.

Watch for him showing interest in things you like and do. For example, if you like a certain genre of music that he likes as well, he may suggest bands or artists for you to listen to. Another example, if you introduce him to a TV show that he didn’t really know about and that becomes his new favorite thing, thats a sign that he likes you.

Check for signs of nervousness. Signs of nervous laughter, sweaty palms, deep breaths, fidgeting, or possibly even looking away quickly when you notice if he is watching you are all good signs of an attraction towards you and that he is nervous about making an impression on someone he likes.

Pay attention to his friends. If they know he’s interested in you, they might tease him subtly when you’re around, hint to you that he likes you, or even try to find out if you like him. Study their reactions to your presence – do they smile? Do they turn to him? Do they smirk in a way that suggests they know something that you don’t?

Don’t ignore him If he shows genuine interest in you, (i.e. smiles at you a lot in the hallway, work, etc., at least go out for a walk.)

Look to see if he imitates you. If he mimics you, he probably likes you, such as if you move to another table, he’ll go with you.

Pay attention to teasing. If a guy teases you a lot, it might mean he likes you, but if he doesn’t tease any other girl, he probably does like you.

If he hits you or playfully punches you on your arm, this may mean he likes you. A guy may hit you but it’s just flirting he probably just wants to see your smile You may find it annoying if you’re not into him, but otherwise if you hit back then that’s a way then he can know that you like him back!

Acknowledge any compliments that come your way. If you do your hair or makeup differently one day, and the guy notices, that’s a very good sign that he likes you. Most guys won’t notice, and if they do, they won’t say anything unless they’re into you. Anything like, “You look nice today,” “I like that shirt,” or even “Did you do your hair differently today? It looks nice,” are all indicators that he could be interested in you. NOTE: If he’s a good friend of yours, these won’t necessarily be indicators of romantic interest. It could just be him being a good friend. Not all guys are this straightforward about compliments, so don’t be worried if he doesn’t compliment you.

Watch for him noticing ‘masculine things’ on you. For example, some of your dad’s aftershave rubbed off on you when you hugged him. Your crush may say ‘is that aftershave on you?’ This indicates he thinks it is from another guy (and not your dad!)

If he talks to you on a Social Networking site. If he chats with you often he may like you. He could also just be talkative and friendly so don’t assume he’s into you for chatting. He may put ‘x’ on the end of everything he says to you. That might not necessarily mean he likes you. It could just mean that you are good friends. If he says, “I know something you don’t know,” then this could mean that he likes you and wants you to be guessing. He might also want you to know and wants to see if you feel the same way. Or it could just mean he knows something you don’t know, e.g. a new colour, the fact that he has a new friend, etc.

Watch to see if he is following you in a sneaky way. For example, if you’re on table 1, talking to your friends, watch to see if he is close nearby. So when the conversation end, and you go to say, table 7, see if he follows you, but of course does not follow you to table 7 unless he is good friends with the people at table 7 and wants to talk to them coincidentally. Check to see if he stands at a different place when you are at table 1 and 7 to make sure he is following you.

Shy Guy Tips

Guys do not enjoy being shy and particularly do not enjoy it when it comes to meeting women. However, shyness tends to be very common among men, more common than many women think. When it comes to flirting tips for shy guys, the first thing to remember is to always be yourself.

It may sound cliché but it is so true. Do not pretend to be someone other than who you are because a woman will see right through it. Be confident about who you are and recognize the value of yourself by being you. If you find your shyness gets in the way of flirting then practice talking in the mirror while you are alone and nobody is looking. It may sound odd but it can definitely help.

Women are naturally drawn to men with self-confident exuberant types of personalities, which sometimes put men at a loss, but there is no need to despair because even shy, introverted men can be coaxed out of their shell enough to meet interesting women.

It is a good idea to start small. First, instead of jumping right into flirting, look for ways to make friends or even acquaintances with the opposite sex. This will give you the opportunity to feel more comfortable talking to women in general. Take a class, attend a workshop, go to the gym and look for opportunities at work to have a casual conversation with someone at work or school.

Even if you just discuss the weather or movies or even a television show you are still conversing with a member of the opposite sex. You might be surprised to find that you are enjoying the conversation so much that you haven’t even noticed that your shyness has not shown itself! Meeting extroverted people could go a long way in helping you feel better about yourself and increasing your level of self-confidence.

Unfortunately, shyness is often associated with social awkwardness and the latter is a trait that can have women running in the other direction. If you go out to places, whether they are social settings, work settings or the like, always attempt to be cheery and upbeat. Everyone knows a man who is dreary, negative and depressed about everything turns off most women.

Once you are out there meeting people and you see a girl you like, strike up a conversation with her. Most of the time we get vibes about people and if she likes you she will smile and will want to keep talking and if she doesn’t, then do not beat yourself up about, it simply find another nice lady to talk to. Realize that you will not necessarily meet someone every time you go out so do not allow disappointment to rule your moods.

When it comes to flirting tips for shy guys the best advice is to realize that women suffer the same insecurities and worries about the opposite sex that men do. You may be feeling nervous and shy around her while she is feeling the same around you. Always look at women as complete human beings who have thoughts, feelings, dreams, goals and worries just as you do.

Whatever you do, remember that flirting is meant to be about having fun and not hurting or misleading anyone. Have faith in yourself and be patient and you will get there!

Liberty Promenade

Small business owners have become an essential part of the Liberty Promenade Shopping Centre in Mitchells Plain; the centre has provided trading space dedicated to entrepreneurs who have previously traded informally. A total of 16 fledgling businesses now have access to a wider market through their presence in the Western Cape’s second largest shopping centre.

Said Thea Marx, General Manager: Liberty Properties Coastal Region: “The Liberty Promenade Shopping Centre accommodates a Mini Mall section within the centre which acts as a threshold for small businesses to trade in a formal environment, allowing them access to a large shopper base and thereby increase their trading muscle. It is an opportunity to grow their businesses and create further employment opportunities within the immediate community. All businesses operating in the mini mall are owned and run by people from the surrounding community, thereby contributing to the local economy.”

“Since opening its doors to the public 8 years ago, the centre has expanded by an additional 32000m², which has allowed for more small businesses to be integrated into the mall.” The small businesses operating in the Liberty Promenade have seen an increase in business since the improvements made to the centre and the Mini Mall. The recently upgraded mini mall, located in the centre, has been centralised for easy access.

“My business has definitely grown since I joined the Liberty Promenade, we started as a tenant in the Mini Mall and we have recently taken occupation of a new larger store in the main shopping centre area. I’m now servicing a wider clientele. My business is now on a growth path, my next objective is to expand into other retail centers,” said Mareldia Mohamad, owner of BITZ of BLING.

Many of the Mini Mall store owners come from humble beginnings. Nazma Adams, owner of Hi Sweety – a party accessories business – started her business in her home and has now been a tenant in the Promenade for the last 3 years.  “Being in Liberty Promenade has increased the community’s awareness of my store, which has lead to more business for me,” Adams said.

The Liberty Promenade is nearing completion of its R400 million revamp and expansion project; the total floor space of the mall has now increased to 74 000m². In addition to the improvements to the Mini Mall area, the project has bought a new food court and entertainment area to the centre, which opened in November 2010, as well as a rejuvenation of the interior mall décor.  The project has also allowed for an upgrade of the security facilities in and around the mall.

Brother kills Brother

An argument over a stolen pit bull puppy ended tragically when a 14-year-old boy allegedly stabbed his 20-year-old brother to death.

The minor, who cannot be named, was released into his mother’s care, following his arrest on Tuesday afternoon. Cops say the teen’s own family had him arrested after he fled the scene.

Cops were called to Strat Caldecott Street, New Woodlands, just before 4pm when they found the barely breathing brother.

Sources say the teen brought the puppy home and when the dog’s owner arrived to claim the animal, he apparently became enraged and stabbed his brother in the neck when he tried to intervene.

The Daily Voice met with Basil Coetzee, the Lentegeur West, New Woodlands, Community Police Sub-forum Chairperson, who was present at the scene on Wednesday.

Basil describes in horror, arriving at the family home to find the bleeding and weak brother.

“That family has only been living in that house for three weeks,” he explains.

“When we arrived at the scene, we found the deceased on the couch and he had a knife wound to the neck.

“The walls and floors were covered in blood. I saw large blood loss on the couch and his pulse was weak.”

Basil says the young man died in the house shortly afterwards.

“Upon enquiry, we learnt the 14-year-old stabbed his 20-year-old brother in the neck during an argument over a pit bull,” he says.

Basil explains the teen fled the house but was later found by his family and was arrested.

“He was questioned and taken through the steps of investigation and placed in the care of his mother,” he adds.

“This is such a tragedy since it’s brother on brother.”

The young man was laid to rest yesterday according to traditional Muslim Rites.

Provincial Police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Andre Traut says: “This office can confirm the incident.

“The suspect was arrested and the case is under investigation.”
