(1) Oooo Ok, firstly, you blokies need to understand that when out with other girlies vanilla stylee (lol) all women have a secret code. Usually its not so secretive in that we disappear off to the toilets in twos to talk about you. Now, at the risk of being bitch-slapped by every fem on here for enlightening you and divulging information for the 'other team' ..........other times, its soooo discreet anyone of male species doesnt notice - series of little looks, nods or the oh-so-subtle :thumbup: thumbs-up behind your back that lets our girlfriends know 'I'm cool, come find me later'. Then there's the wide-eyed 'WTF??? :shock: ' look, which means ' :jagsatwork: dont you friggin dare move I might need bailing out in a minute' look. :lol: The eye-roll , which means ' this blokes a complete knob, get me out of here!' .......there are lots more!.
(2) The hand on waist thing .... vanilla style, I personally would find this pretty 'leery'. Unless you're really pissed and need to lean on someone/something in order to maintain a vertical position, holding her waist is a bit 'intimate'.
You could just gently lean in toward her, or literally talk into her ear like everyone else does in a club atmosphere. Most people might do the not-too-over-friendly-but-I-like-physical-contact arm touch too - but by holding her waist you are effectively 'pulling her into you' (its the same with hips, ass and lower back) - and unless she wants your full on attention, she'll be subconciously screaming to her friend to 'get me outta here'!!
(3) You describe her/them as being a little 'off' with you anyway. :dry: Now either:
(a) she just aint interested
(b) her mate was under specific "dont let me do anything stupid tonight" instruction
or (c) They've 'heard' something about you they dont like and usually under these circumstances you may as well walk round with a neon sign saying 'lurgy' on it!!!! :lol:
or (d) You interrupted a 'girlie night out' :shock: - sometimes when a woman says 'hello', she does it out of politeness and recognition, and sometimes its not an open invitation to do the sin of all sins and 'come hijack the conversation and come between whatever chat me and my mate- i-havent-seen-all-week were having before you decided to come stick your oar in'!! :roll: :lol:
(4) You mention that this is a reoccuring theme - now, assuming we're talking local women who might know you/ know of you to say hello to in the street.....I'd go with option 3c above :shock: - in which case you need to ask her outright at the earliest convenient opportunity. This gives her the upper-hand because she's put in a position where she has the power to 'enlighten' you and many women, in my oppinion, just love an opportunity to tell guys a few home truths! :sticky: :jagsatwork:
Now, if its a reoccuring theme that also runs with strangers, my advice is to stop eating garlic.....use listerine.....invest in a good deoderant.....see where I'm coming from?? :lol:
Hope this helps! :lol:
