Navigating the complexities of dating and attraction can be a challenging endeavor. You’ve mustered the courage to express your feelings to a woman you like, but her response leaves you wondering about the next steps.
In this video, we explore a common scenario: a man tells a woman he likes her, and she responds with, “I’m glad you said that.” This ambiguous response can be perplexing, leading to questions like, “Why isn’t she reciprocating my feelings? What should I do next?”
Reason #1: She Knew You Liked Her but Thought You Were Just a Friend
Not all women can instantly discern when a man is romantically interested in them. However, for many, it’s a glaringly obvious distinction. It’s written all over your body language, your eagerness to engage with her, the excitement when she shows interest, the laughter at her jokes, the compliments you give, and your efforts to keep the conversation flowing. To most women, these cues are crystal clear.
Reason #2: She’s Glad You Confessed but Wants You to Take the Lead
In some cases, when a woman responds with “I’m glad you said that,” it’s not a sign of disinterest. She might genuinely like you but prefers you to make the next move. While she appreciates your honesty, she doesn’t want an immediate “Okay, let’s kiss now” situation. Instead, she anticipates you’ll engage in playful flirting, gradually building sexual tension before making a move.
Reason #3: She’s Being Kind to Avoid Hurting Your Feelings
Sometimes, a woman responds with “I’m glad you said that” to convey her feelings tactfully, sparing you from emotional distress. She wants to avoid a confrontation or the discomfort of saying, “I don’t reciprocate your feelings” or “I see you as a friend, not a romantic interest.” She genuinely appreciates your courage but hopes her response will hint at her lack of romantic interest without direct rejection.
Reason #4: She Now Feels Confident to Show More Interest
Not all women can readily discern a man’s romantic interest. They might feel strong attraction due to your comfort and flirting but remain uncertain about your intentions, especially if they notice other women find you equally attractive. In such cases, they hesitate to express their feelings, fearing potential rejection.
By responding with “I’m glad you said that,” a woman is expressing relief that you’ve clarified your feelings. This newfound clarity empowers her to exhibit more overt interest, secure in the knowledge of where she stands. It alleviates her concerns of confessing her feelings only to hear a disheartening response. This reassurance allows her to engage with you more openly and affectionately.
In conclusion, understanding a woman’s response when you express your feelings is essential to navigate the complexities of dating and attraction. Confidence, genuine interest, and the ability to create a spark are key elements in transitioning from a friendly connection to a romantic one.
To enhance your dating success and confidently move from the initial conversation to kissing, a date, or more, consider exploring a resource that focuses on what to say and do in these situations.

Want to Know the SECRET to Success With Women?
Watch this hidden video where Dan exposes his BIGGEST secret to success with women, which allows you to easily get laid or get a girlfriend.
This video is only available here and you can watch it for free right now.
Dan , this was a excellent video. You hit it right on point. I have done exactly what you described here too many times in the past and never could figure out why so many women only wanted to be friends with me. I have passed up many women due to this. I thought it was due to my looks. Im not an ugly guy at all , but I was starting to believe It. I truly appreciate all of your advice and these videos are very helpful and informative. Please keep making and posting them. Again thank you very much. Vic……….
Hey Victor
Thanks for your comment and feedback.
You’re welcome mate! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. BTW: If you haven’t listened to the free audio here, you might want to check that out too:

Hey Dan,you’re awesome buddy! thanks for great videos.I have one question: how do i protect myself from the guys who envy and get angry(in most cases the guys that have no game,but huge muscles) when i am rude to them i get in trouble and when i’m nice to them they become ”friends” and try to control and manipulate me. Thanks in advance
Hi Jaba
Thanks for your positive feedback and question.
To combat that, you need to increase your social intelligence and learn how to hang out and get along with other alpha males. As you will learn in Alpha Male Power, it’s not about trying to compete with other guys. It’s about gaining and maintaining their respect. Based on what you’re saying, it sounds like you are sometimes behaving like a beta male (second in command) and sometimes like an omega male (lowest ranking).
When you watch Alpha Male Power, you will learn the closely guarded secrets of alpha males. It’s not something that is shared or taught to lower ranking males, unless you come across a mentor who can and is willing to teach you.
Cheers
Dan
dan you hit the nail right on the head! been there done that , still trying to win her back!!she said lets stay friends,i said ok then, but i’m not one to give up,there are many moves in a game of love, just like chess! you have to outthink your opponent,or in this case ( THE LADY )
Hi Tony
Thanks for your positive feedback and comments.
The best strategy to get a girl back: Hook up with women who are hotter than her and then post up pics on Facebook. When she sees that her perception of you will change. Women are much more attracted to men who are wanted by other women.
Also…when you’re actually in a relationship with her, make sure you sex her right. See this article: http://www.themodernman.com/dating/relationships/10_ways_to_make_her_reach_an_orgasm.html
Cheers

Hey dan! This comment will have more meaning then my last. What would you say are the most important mindsets and most important actions to take for a guy who just wants to get laid and does not want a gf? When i get on fb and see all these beautiful women posting sexy pix of themselves i dont think to myself “I would really like to make her my gf” I just really think to myself that I dont have women like that chasing me and I get all depressed and start eating ice cream out of the carton like a woman would. umm help?? thanks
dirty cloud
Hi DC
Thanks for your question.
The most important mindsets and actions?
Mindsets:
– Women DO want to have sex just as much as men.
– Women are simply waiting for you to make the right moves and lead them there.
Actions:
– Approach women.
– Escalate to kissing and sex on the first day or night you meet a woman, instead of trying to set up dates.
Sounds like you need to listen to Mastery Methods & Mindsets http://store.themodernman.com/products/mastery_methods_and_mindsets.php or at least read my ebook The Flow http://store.themodernman.com/products/the_flow.php and learn the 4-step process from approach to escalation (phone number, kiss or sex).
Cheers

Hey dan, how do you get an old-fashioned, traditional girl to have sex with you? I guess what I’m really asking is………How do you unleash the inner beast? Hahahaha!
Hi Walter
Thanks for your question.
I have sex with what others guys label as “old fashioned women” all the time. The old-fashioned, seemingly conservative social persona that these women present to the world has NOTHING to do with their sex drive. She may feel it is the right thing to do to walk like a lady, talk like a lady and behave like a lady, but NEVER mistake that for her not wanting to have sex and be in love.
You need to be respectful of her way of being while ALSO moving things toward a kiss and sex as you normally would. If you don’t “normally” get to the stage of sex with women you talk to, then watch Dating Power and see our demonstrations of how to move in for a kiss, what to say to get a woman over to your place (or you to her place) and how to initiate sex.
Cheers
Dan
hahahaha walter!!
Hey Dan, i really like the way you explain things but i have a problem. Am a guy who has got attitude. i can make any lady standing infront of me get attracted to me..lol. i can have sex with her de same day or at least getting her number. but the minute i send a text message i begin to loose them. what can i do to improve ma writing skills? relying on you…
Douglas
Hi Dan
How do you tell a girl that you don’t want to have sex until marriage?
I know this is usually the exact opposite of what most guys ask you its usually the other way around lol but how do you do it?
Realistically is any girl going to stick around if they aren’t going to be getting any action for sometime?
I’ve been in situations where I can tell a girl wants to move it to that level but I never know how to say that sex isn’t going to be on the cards. Do you announce it and if so how do you do it in the right way?
Its impossible to screen for girls that would be willing to live with such a situation I continuly run into scenairos as described above.
Thanks
Hi Landon
Thanks for your question.
Those women still do exist, but have definitely become the 1% minority. You will need to seek out specific groups who share the same beliefs as you and then meet a woman there.
Cheers
Dan
Hey Dan!! First off, I want to say thank you for not making the customers who bought the original “The Flow” re-buy the 2012 edition. That shows that you are not just trying to make money but you are also truly here to help guys in need. I don’t see this much anymore, it seems like every business is there just to make money and they could take or leave actually helping the customer. I have not read the 2012 edition yet but I am stoked!! Thanks again.
Now onto my video related question.
I think I may have screwed up Dan. I think I may have “spilled my guts” when I really shouldn’t have. Here’s the story.
I have liked this girl since maybe 8th or 9th grade. We started out liking eachother once we met and even tried dating but it didn’t really work out because I was too immature. We ended up friends after that. I was not sure if she still liked me after we tried dating but I really liked her still. So, time went on and we both graduated high school and left our home town. Since then I have seen her once maybe like 2 or 3 years ago. I made things awkward because I was so nervous and of course I didn’t know The Modern Man existed haha. So now she has graduated college and got her Bachelor’s degree and posted a pic of it on her FB page. I posted on her pic: “Nice job!! You’re probably the coolest person I know”. When I said the last part I didn’t mean for it to sound so serious. I was half way kidding, in an attempt to make her laugh. Like, I was telling her how cool she was now that she has her Bachelor degree. She did not take it that way.
She then private messaged me
Her: Why am I the coolest person you know?
Me: You are very funny, funny being the best one. Also you are smart, nice and sexy. Its not fair to compare your coolness to anyone else because you seem to be one of the very few people that I connect with really well. Really, since leaving (our home town) I have only met one other girl that I connected with as well as I did with you. Mine and this girls relationship reminded me of the one me and you had. You feel me? Nice job on your Bachelor.
Her: I feel you. Thanks (DC). If I go visit (her friend who lives near me) in a couple months you should come party
Based of what happened and her response did I screw up? If so how can I fix this? I imagine the next time I see her I will have to be VERY attractive to fix this. Your response is very important to me. Thanks Dan. BTW I will be buying “The Ultimate Guide to Conversation” on friday I’m so Stoked!!
