    Its impossible to "act" dumb when the person in question is pretty dumb in such matters. Its more to do with waiting for the moment that just feels right.

  • Of course.It is the other way round too.Even if they aren't smart,then also they 'try' to act smart.

    And then they think that women are dumb.Guys are even dumber than females in this aspect.What do they think? They will act stupid and we wouldn't even get to know? I mean acting stupid despite knowing everything is also an 'Art' =).If they don't know that art,then act that much good that it looks real atleast, for heaven's sake....jerks!

    EDIT: And I REALLY don't know why some people are thinking that I have written this answer for them..It is a general question and I have answered it that way! VERY HONESTLY SPEAKING!!!

    And I STILL don't know what have I done? isn't it injustice that you get to see these things when you haven't done anything?

    Hope some people understand..

    Some guys truly are not aware when a girl likes him. He may assume that the girl is friendly but would not presume that friendly = likes him in particular. You may have to be direct without being overbearing.

    no he is not acting dumb --- we have NO idea if a lady likes us or not --- it does not improve with age and i am very intelligent and the only way i know is if the lady tells me

    Fact: guys are clueless never assume we know what you are thinking cause chances are we don't no it's not on purpose it just is attempts at subtlety generally just confuse us. best strategy? lay it out plain and simple NO SUBTLETY

    Any guy who knows how girls minds work must be a billionaire ... all guys would pay to have the female mind demystified in a way we understand.

    Trust me - it isn't an act. You ladies think too much. What you see is what you get with most of us.
