Another question from a fan...

Sammie, how do I know if I’m really on a date with a man or if he only likes me for a friend?

                Seriously…are you kidding me? Dear God in Bird Heaven, tell me this is a trick question! You did not just ask me that! Oh my word, you did. Geeze Louise.
                As a rule, the male species is not the Rocket Scientists of the dating world. There is no conspiracy to search and destroy women and they rarely have the time, money or brain power to waste on plots against all females. You gals make them seem much more complicated than they really are.    
I’m not saying that men are simpletons, it’s just that they are capable of letting you know, whether it’s by words, looks or actions, if they are romantically or sexually attracted to you.
                In the wild, I immediately know if a male African Grey is really into me. He puffs his feathers, does a little dance, kisses me and regurgitates into my beak. Hey! It’s love feeding and is not gross in my world. Compare it to romantically feeding a man chocolate covered strawberries. We might even show each other our private parts (don’t even try to pretend you’ve never taken part in that behavior!).
So, here are a few clues for the clueless. Did he call you and ask you for a date? If he did, he’s interested. Now, if he called and told you to meet him at a restaurant, it isn’t a date. What do you talk about, business? That isn’t a date. Does he reach out and touch your hand or just shake it at the end of the evening? Come on…there are indications all over the place; you are just choosing to ignore them. You have to stop looking at what you want to happen and see what is really going on.
So, if you are still wondering how to tell if a man is romantically interested in you here is my final thought. If you have to ask, he isn’t.
