I'm sorry, but I have noticed that there are alot of questions, primarily from women, who ask "does he like me? " questions that are in my opinion really self- explanatory, I mean what has happened to women of this century when you can't even tell that a guy likes you when he wants to cuddle? or if he wants to hold hands? How do you not know if he likes you or not?
It's almost as if women nowadays can't read body-languauge.
Am I the only one who thinks that the young women of this society have an underdeveloped sense of relationships and intimacy, and what is attributed to it?

I don't think that girls in middle school have jobs and co-workers. Some of them may be in high school...hence the term "young women".

You people are really upsetting me...I have pre-teens...I think I know the difference between a child asking and an adult asking a question. I don't even respond to the questions asked by "little girls". I said "women" because I can tell if they are teenagers, middle schoolers, or adults...just like most of you can...so once again I am asking about "women" to be more specific "young women" and "women" between the ages of maybe 17 - 25....because you can tell. Their dialect for , they one they choose to word or describe their circumstances, amongst other things is a dead give- away. I'm not aski9ng about the children that come on the site people, because I am intelligent enough to know the difference. SO..can I my question asked in reference to women?

The trouble is no one is teaching their kids about relationships and the opposite sex. Parents just send their kids off to school and hope they figure it out on their own. Or on yahoo answers lol.

No, just most of the people who use yahoo answers.
But in all seriousness, relationships have no rules and people are just floundering around and making it up as they go along--something that's very different then most of the things we do in our lives. If you study hard in school, you get good grades; if you work hard at your job, you'll eventually move up, etc.; but there's nothing you can do in the romantic world that will assure you of success. I'm guessing that most of the people here already have an idea of what they are going to do in a certain situation or about what is going on, but because there is no way to guarantee they're right, they ask total strangers in the hopes that their instincts will be confirmed. Answers is an easy way to ask these type of questions anonymously that you think are too stupid to ask your friends (and probably for a good reason) but that you want to be reassured of anyway, even though there's no logical reason why strangers would know any better than you.

No, we are not stupid. I'll admit to asking questions similar to that and I'm 23, which is much older than the majority of people in this section. Ive gotten a few people answer with "when you get older" or "you're too young" lol. That's when I know I sound immature.
A lot of times I think we are just looking for confirmation. We are pretty sure a guy is attracted to us, we just want someone else to confirm it before we go and make fools of ourselves. Women are horribly insecure, teenagers even more so. We can't get over the fear that maybe we are wrong, even though all signs point to yes. And in all fairness, the guys on here do the same thing.
When the girl asks "does he like me" is it ever a question where you honestly DON'T think the guy likes her? No. She knows the guy likes her, she just describes the situation and people confirm it for her.

I agree with you, but only partially. Yeah, some of the girls on here do ask the same stupid question, but some of them truly don't know. Some of them may have never had boyfriends so they don't get body language. Sometimes, they just need a second opinion on whether the feeling that this guy has a crush on them, is accurate or not.

I think that erring on the conservative side is helpful. Too many women believe that just because a man sleeps with them, that they are now his girlfriend...now THAT is ridiculous. I wouldn't call that underdeveloped at all. These girls are further ahead than some of the WOMEN I know. Keep in mind that these are young girls...why would you attack them like this?

OMG!! I completely agree with you!!!!!!!!! I think that these girls are getting into intimate relationships waay too young before they can even understand body language or the consequences of such intimate relations. Like, if a guy kisses you, he probably just wanted to kiss you! There should be a stricter age limit on Yahoo! Answers. Little twelve year olds posting "sensual" pictures looking for boyfriends is not a good thing. What ever happened to kids just being kids. It's like every year they grow up faster and faster. Its quite a shame.

Well, most aren't women asking, but GIRLS are. I know that Mom and Dad want to keep their kids away from dating for a while so they can't ask them for fear they'll say: "It doesn't matter, you won't be dating him!" So they simply flirt around school, and can't really kiss or hold hands because...well...it's school. They send off hints that hopefully won't register with the teachers and can't read the hints themselves, so they just ask on here to be sure. Women just get asked out if the guy likes her and it's no big deal. So...to answer your question no women aren't stupid, and neither are girls...they're just confused. Okay?

I think some women know the answer to their own question, but they ask it anyway for reassurance or confirmation. Sometimes it's hard to accept the fact that a guy doesnt like them that they feel they have to ask everyone else if it's true. Or they feel like a guy likes them but they want to hear what others think about the situation. It sounds so beautiful to hear 30 people tell them they are in a good situation....

I would not call it stupid. It is insecurity and that is not new. The big difference is that we now have a bunch of electronic ways to test the water for reinforcement.
Relationships are changing, but women do not seem quite ready to become the aggressor.

I agree with you. But I think that u have to realize that most of these girls asking these questions are probably 12.

I think that these "women" you are refering to are probably in middle school, and as I recall, at that age, I didn't know how to tell if boys liked me because I'd never experienced it. But now I do.
