Six
signs he's head over heels
Analise Pendergast, Match.com
You
used to be able to tell if a guy liked you by looking into his
eyes when he offered to buy you a drink or asked for your number.
But
in the brave new world of online dating, how do you read the signs?
How can you tell he really thinks you're special?
You
can bet your e-fling is going someplace if he:
- Emails
you more than twice a day. Above and beyond the polite "good
morning" and pleasant "good evening," extra emails
received during the day indicate you are always on his mind.
- Really
responds to what you write.
You're not just a sounding board for his online rambling. If
he gets your jokes or relates to your rants, rest assured that
you have his attention and he wants to know more
and more.
- Asks
questions about you. No, not an interrogation, but his interesting
indulgent questions show he's intrigued and wants to know what
makes you tick.
- Surprises
you with spontaneous e-goodies. When he sends you an article
he knows you'll find interesting or refers you to a Web site
that addresses all those existential questions you've been pondering,
you can tell he's really reaching out.
- Ups
the ante. No longer content to hold you at a cyber-distance,
he suggests a phone call or even a first date. Congratulations!
You're not just an inbox interloper; you've really captured
his imagination.
- Signs
off with suggestive salutations.
If his email signoffs have evolved from a polite "Fondly"
to a passionate "XOXOXOX," it's a sure signal he's
sweet on you.
Even
while the medium for meeting an eligible sweetie has gone cyber,
the signs of a spark are as old as time. If the evidence is undeniable
and the feelings are mutual, then by all means seize the day and
say yes.
