Signs of interest. Is this one?

[Sophisticated Gent]

If a woman refers to a man in her life to you by his title instead of his name, does it mean she is interested in you? For example:

- She said "A "friend" took me to Florida." In this case the friend is her boyfriend. When she got back she brought her photos to me and went through them. When she got to one of her in a bikini she asked me what I thought of her bikini? This was not a question about fashion. Why did she call him a friend?

- A different girl always refers to her husband as my husband instead of by his first name. I know him personally by first name. She gives me a lot of attention when he is not around. Why call him my husband?

- A lady at work who is pretty friendly but not quite flirtation with me, calls her husband, my husband. I don't know is name. Why not tell me his name and call him by his name?

I am looking for opinions on this. Does not using the person's name remove some of the personal nature of their relationship when addressing someone they are sexually interested in? Or is it just an easier way to call the person. Is this a possible indicator of interest or am I making something out of nothing?

While you always want to assume attraction you obviously can't go around thinking every female is interested in you. It would be nice but it doesn't work out like that all the time. They may say "my husband/my BF" to reiterate to you that they are not available. Who knows. But let me assure you every female who acts nice to you isn't attracted to you. It's good for confidence building to assume so but to avoid awkward situations you might want to temper your assumptions especially around the workplace. Some ppl are just friendly coworkers.

I think saying "my husband" or "my boyfriend" is just a general way of refering to them which can not be misinterpreted as to who they're talking to, even if you know the person's name. Unless you know that person and maybe are close to him, in which case they might refer to them by name.

I'd say pay more attention to how they refer to them with people other than yourself. I know a girl who since I met her, she's gone from calling her boyfriend "my love" to "my boyfriend" to just "the BF" with other people. When with me she never mentions him, like at all.

But really, even if this means something, you should still work on your game and fundamentals. I wouldn't look too deep into it.

Gents,

I am quite aware of when a woman is attracted to me or not. I am asking if this is another possible indicator to add to the list.

Full on eye contact
body facing me
blushing
giggling
laughing a lot at things you say even if they are not funny
Playing with her hair
mirroring my actions
Eyes drop down at the end of eye contact
Proximity
Telling you her current relationship is having problems.
Asking your opinion of the looks of another woman.

Not by itself. It's not a dead giveaway.
Saying "my husband" is more convenient than saying the person's name, especially if the name is not relevant.
