3 min read

All right, let’s get down to business. You’re getting a vibe from a married woman and you’re not sure if the feeling is reciprocated or if it’s all in your head. It’s a tough one, so let’s wade through it with some compassion and a little bit of humour.

First, a huge caveat: Proceed with caution. This isn't a game. There’s a marriage and real feelings on the line. This isn’t a green light; it’s simply an aid to reading the situation so you can act with respect.

Here are the things to watch for. Just keep in mind, one sign is an accident. A pattern of them? Your hunch was not entirely wrong.

1. The Eye Contact Game

She holds eye contact a second longer? Classic. You see her looking, and she doesn’t quickly turn away. She may even give you a slow, sweet smile or the all-famous “look away blush.” It’s that “oops, you got me” response.

2. Body Language is Key

Her lips will lie to you but her body won’t.

She’s always tilted in toward you, even in a group.

When she’s laughing she makes casual contact with your arm or shoulder.

While talking with you, she plays with her hair or adjusts her clothes.

3. So You Get Another Version of Her

She’s maybe in earnest with everyone else, but with you, she’s goofy and vulnerable and herself. If you’re thinking: “Wow, she’s so much more interesting when we talk,” that’s a big deal. 

4. She safe with you.

She comes and stands near you if she has no compelling reason to be there … even in silence.

She’ll sit down right next to you. She’ll flock your way and you make like a bird. If there’s an opportunity to be near, she will take it. It’s almost as if you’re a human magnet.

5. She’s Curious About YOU

Her questions are more interesting than small talk. She remembers little things you said weeks ago. She wants to know your dreams and your stories.” She’s building a connection.

The Bottom Line

It is one thing to observe these symptoms. And knowing what to do is one thing.

The most important thing is just to be a good person. She’s married. The polite thing to do is set some gentle boundaries. Don't encourage it. Be kind, but be clear.

Apply this knowledge to do the right thing, not the easy thing.
