Ways to Know a Guy is Flirting

Here is a list of signs to know he is flirting, and how to catch male signals of interest. Men are pretty predictable when they are interested in you. By catching these tips I will discuss, you can have a better idea who is interested in you.


How to know when a guy is interested in you.

If every time you look at a guy he is sneaking peeks at you, he’s interested in you. Keep an eye on how many times you catch him staring at you. If your standing in a crowd of people, this is a dead giveaway unless you’ve just done something to grab everyones attention. You’ll want to check his facial expression and body language. If he is smiling and assertive, it’s a good sign that he is interested.

Respond to him showing interest and see how he responds. This is usually the most nerve wrecking part. Enter his “personal space” and see if he steps away. If he is interested then he will allow a closer than normal presence or touch. Check or immediate shyness or blushing, as this is a dead giveaway.

If you find a guy that always finds reasons to be near you, he’s probably interested in you. He’ll probably generate some type of lame excuse to sit next to you or ask you something. Some do not actly bluntly and must find an excuse to engage in conversation with you. If your interested, respond back and don’t leave him hanging. He’ll probably say stupid things to keep the conversation going

Some guys try really hard be cool and flirty and just look foolish or silly. If a guy comes up to you and acts a little strange he’s probably choking on nervousness or of course he could just be strange.

Looks for signs that a guy is going out of his way to please you. Such as opening doors, or helping you with school or work.

Listen to ur instinct.. You’ll just know if he likes you.

Someone Stole My Catalytic Converter!

I received a call from my father today because someone stole a catalytic converter on his Toyota Tundra. He started his truck to go home from a normal day at work and hear a loud explosion. “It sounded like I blew the engine and that’s what I immediately thought.” Well turns out, some got underneath his truck with a reciprocating type saw and cut one of the two catalytic converters off his truck. The proceeded to cut the second one off but only made one cut. We are thinking that something scared them off.

The funny part about this story is that he works in a gated and fenced in government hospital in Memphis, TN. Someone had to walk up to his vehicle with a saw and make a large amount of noise making 3 cuts in the steel pipes connected to the catalytic converters. Anyone who has cut steel knows that it is extremely loud. The hospital has a security team and cameras surrounding the building but this act was not caught on tape, seen or heard. This makes me wonder, what if someone was screaming for help, or in serious danger? Why were the security cameras not working?


Our guess is that the thief wanted to sell or recycle the catalytic converter for money and the truck was an easy accessible truck due to the higher ground clearance. It still baffles me that someone could do this and get away with it on this type of property.

So first figure the lock principles that has been used with it, once identified find a cracking principle for the over lying lock, they can have any locking principle, so slip them off and then the picking narrows down to padlock picking as explained above.

Now comes the real mastery, picking locks with paper clips, may sound funny and easy but requires a huge deal of patients, open and straight up a paper clip, the bend it by joining the two ends now twist them make a swirl with it. Then insert it into the keyhole, put the tension wrench into the bottom of the keyhole and push it in.

Her talent had the first touch of success when she released ‘Songs in a Minor’ in 1999. The songs were an instant hit and she was hitting the top of the charts by chilly winters of 99.Now if one ponders what makes her grand some, it won’t be a job of an expert.

Aretha Franklin and James Brown had real things to talk about and feel in their hearts and that’s the kind of music that flows through me.” This proves beyond doubt that the Lady is formed through the fusion of music flowing all around New York since 80’s and late.

This half Jamaican , Half Irish-Italian woman , who draws her inspiration from the likes of Hopin, Marvin Gaye, Mary J. Blige, Miles Davis, The Notorious B.I.G., Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Beethoven has a long way to go before she calls it a day.
