Beispiel: "A very good way to tell whether a women is interested (or, at least, not grossed out) is whether she touches you. This doesn't mean that she jumps you in the middle of the cubicle farm. All she really needs to do is in some way make physical contact -- like picking a piece of lint of your shirt. Conversely, if you brush up against her (perhaps completely innocently), and she pulls away, chances are she's not interested."
