Could you tell me something that has
intrigued me recently, why do men wink at woman.
Winking at people is said to be a universal sign,
that you are interested in the other person. Apart from Japan, where
winking is said to be offensive to women because it signals that you want to get
raunchy with a woman (which is probably what it means in the UK, expect most
women do not find it offensive).
Most people both men and women are said to wink very
briefly for a split second when they first see somebody they fancy. But
this wink takes place so fast, that it is not normally visible, unless you catch
it on video camera and slow the tape down.
In your case, this guy has been very openly winking
at you and trying to make it clear that he is winking at you. Therefore it
is a conscious wink and I would suspect he is trying to signal interest in you
without getting too close to scare you. He is basically saying I want to
get to know you more, so come and see me, but I don't want to scare you off by
coming too close.
If a bloke approaches a woman too soon, it often
puts her off, and gives her the creeps or makes a man look desperate. This
guy is winking to signal his interest, which is brave but not having to be as
brave as approaching you. He is basically using his body language to
signal interest rather than his voice.
There is this one guy (an acquaintance really) who i get on well with, yes
there has been some flirting in the past but recently he has been winking at me
a few times. I know a wink doesn't always mean that he likes you.
I would say winking only takes place when a man
fancies a woman or when a man or a woman is signalling that they are friends.
In your case I doubt it is the friends option, because you don't know each other
well enough yet, to be considered long term/close friends.
But something he has never done before the most recent one after holding
eye contact with me (Can't remember who looked first) for longer than is
necessary.
Eye contact, very positive and just re-affirms the
fact that he fancies you.
when i went to leave he reached out to touch my arm and then he winked.
Pretty obvious what this means!
Guess my real question is how do i know if the wink is because there is
some shared secret or if he fancies me
