Is placing your hand on a woman's knee/thigh area making a move?

    If another woman complimented you and while she complemented you she place her hand above your knee and gently squeezed it would you think she likes you or not? is this a casual meaningless gesture. Or is it a sign of attraction. flirting etc...

    would you read much into this?

    I'd say it's a sign of attraction. A compliment and physical contact? She likes you. And if this took place on a date, then of course she likes you!

    If not, she's just a very touchy feely sort of person. Did she make effort to touch you at any other time or anywhere else on your body, because if she didn't, then she's not a touchy feely person and she was flirting with you.

    It all depends on the person. Some people are more physically affectionate than others. I think you'd have to analyse it based on how she is with other people too.

    I would think so. Actually to me placing a hand above the knee is a more intense thing to do than placing a hand below the knee. It's actually fairly close to putting a hand on someone's thigh and I wouldn't do that just to compliment someone. The squeeze as well I'd say was intentional and playful. I'm going to presume you were sitting down. If she was admiring trousers/skirt it may have been to feel the fabric but I doubt it. If it was a date or she was being overly flirty with other hints I'd take it as making a move.

    I found this interesting when it was published last year, different rules of where it's considered by most to be ok to touch a person depending on your relationship with the person. Sort of above the knee is seen to be strange to be touched by anyone even a friend by any gender, I'm going to say it was deliberate.

    I have the best image in my head of someone gently caressing my shin...

    Also I don't know her that well so was kind of wondering.
