How can you tell when a man is for real about a woman and not just looking for sex? What are some signs that he is in it for more?

    Look for a rainbow wristband.

    Joking aside, the quiet, nerdy people usually don't feel that it's worth it to put forward the effort for casual sex. Look out for psychopaths, though.

      This is true, most of my more intelligent friends do not cruise around just looking for sex. -this however does temporarily change when lots of alcohol is introduced.

      I quite agree. Perhaps it is one of the reasons I prefer the nerdy guys.

    Same way you can tell if a BC Member is spamming the Forums trying to get real opinions about topics for his/her blog or really just trying to post some really stupid and inappropriate stuff.

    What you're essentially asking is how do you know if a guy likes you enough to play along enough to cement a bond so that hopefully later, you'll do him without thinking he's a jerk like those other guys.

    Hmm. No surefire way, really.

      If you have to "wonder" if some one is really interested in you...they're most likely not.

    Being willing to wait until the ring is on her finger is a pretty sure sign.
    1. globalgirl
      HA! How TRUE!
    2. SweetViolet
      Just being happy to wait is a pretty good sign! The longer he's happy to wait, the better.

    If he listens to what you're saying and replies with his take on the subject or asks for clarification more than just polite answering to the sounds you're making.

    In short if he listens. Remember: penises don't have ears.

    Having a conversation for more than 15 minutes that doesn't turn to talking about sex.
    1. datingdiaries30
      Yes, you are so right. I think that sex conversation is a clear signal. The part that is so confusing is I have found that men will say anything and do anything to get into your pants. Sometimes they do they opposite and never bring up sex which is just another way to get into your pants.
    2. ekim941
      Holy sh*t, you're paranoid.

      omg....I can't stop laughing, thank you ekim
    4. ekim941
      Careful Sylvia. I may just be trying to get in your pants
    5. Sylvia
      silly man, I'm not wearing pants

    He did not forget your name after having sex with you...

    its tricky because most of the time i can point out if hes only after one thing.. sex. but sometimes it really hard to tell espeically when you talk and you get to know each other more.. its almost as if.. thats there way of getting you haha you know what im talking about..
  11. loverofjazz
    you can't really.
    it's a matter of being careful and at the same time trusting your feelings, i think.
    but there's no science to it.
    a lot of guys will definitely lie to get a woman in bed and a lot of them (ok, us!) are very good liars.
    so i have no hard advice for you on this.
    go with your feelings.
    sometimes those little nagging doubts you feel about someone have to be listened to.

    If you're a seventy year old millionare and the guy is an 18 year old beefcake, Then I guess you can say 100% it's not for the sex.
  13. ModelElaine
    stop having sex with him and you'll find out
    1. searchingwithin
      Don't think anyone, man or woman would be very happy if you already established a sexual relationship, and then stop. They would interpret this as a symptom of something much larger. Similar like not speaking to each other, only much, much worse.

      However, if you establish a bond first, and they stick around for that, would be another story.

    all men are looking for s-x its just some lie to dem selves. people who are open about that are the bettar choice unless you digg nut jobz
  15. dosyrosie
    @josephgelb Then in that case the question is how do you know if they want it with you or just with anyone!

    I reckon if it is if he is willing to wait, if he is just in it for the sex then he won't be prepared to wait until you are ready, he'll get bored and probably leave sulking! If he keeps pushing it or uses the 'I'll leave if you don't' card then he's not worth it. You are worth the wait!!!
    1. Kryptonitemare
      How much of a wait are we talking about? Marriage or just when the moment feels right for you two?
  16. dosyrosie
    Just till it feels right, I think if either side feels pressured into it, they won't enjoy it and that in itself may result in a relationship breakdown.

    A man is ALWAYS for real about a woman--at least temporarily.
  18. xmarks
    All straight men want to have sex with you. The real question does he just want to have sex with you once or is he interested in having sex with you multiple times over a long period of time.
    1. Ryleigh
      hahahaha!!! God love'ith the truth!
  19. leonore
    I just don't know what to say...

    "How Can You Tell When A Man is For Real About a Woman and Not Just Looking for Sex?"

    -The best way to "tell"... ask him. You will drive yourself bat shit crazy looking for the "signs" he is into you. Just ask him. Communication is the best way to find out if he is potential boyfriend material, or a sex-with-benefits situation.
  21. DatingAdviceCafe
    Well the one thing to look for is he makes sexual remarks right off that bat.

    There's a guy who's a dork and you sould probably say "later".
  22. avante
    if you're looking for a realtionship he's probably only in it for the sex... and the same goes for when you're just looking for sex.
  23. KittyKat53
    he makes an effort

    Just as not all women are the same, not all men are the same. My wife's female friends have commented to her about how 'lucky' she is to have found me, but honestly, I consider myself EXTREMELY lucky to have found her!

    I mean, when you go to something like a Sci-Fi or gaming convention as an extended date and she disappears to spend most of the weekend with her friends, then comes to you on the last day apologizing for abandoning you and is truly sorry for leaving you alone in a hotel full of strangers, then maybe you've just found the right person for you. I did... and now she's my wife and we blew past the '7-year itch' without even a scratch.

    Go with what your gut is telling you. My intuition is usually right.
  26. Rhumperd
    Why is just wanting sex not considered being real? He demonstrated what he wanted...now you make the call.

    It doesn't get much more straightforward or "real" than that.

    I think the question you really want to ask is, "how can you tell when a man wants to be emotionally attached to you". The other phrasing seems to indicate a belief that only wanting sex is abnormal, when that supposition is really an opinion.

    Wait a minute. We're talking about guys here right? When is it ever not about sex? That just goes against our nature. It just ain't gonna happen.
