How do you say "yes" without appearing too eager (and wanting)?

Question

like in a proposal, an invitation to dinner or a trip out with your crush while retaining a modicum of demureness (pa-Filipina effect).

Answer 1

...then say "I am not sure" but sounding it more of a Yes.. if he insist then that would be the time you'd say "Ok".. this always is - effective.

Answer 2

say "sure" and nod and smile

Answer 3

I'll see...

Answer 4

...i can't do that, ms annabelle.  when my lips say "yes" i do mean it and my whole being seems to shake in agreement.  if i have to be true to myself, i'm afraid demure and coy, i am not!  

but IF it was a game of PLAYING hard to get, i could do that to.  play is play and real thing is real thing.

Answer 5

say, "why not?" and give a simple, appreciative smile. don't drool and don't look/sound hyper-excited.

.

Answer 6

i can't hide it..i told you i'm a very transparent person. i would surely turn red, heart beating fast (i tell you, you could actually see my blouse moving) and i couldn't hide my smile.

so no matter how i say it,he would still notice my eagerness..

Answer 7

I understand your question!but to me it borders on manipulation! why not just react naturally and honestly,if you want to go or if it pleases you why not just act like it! for me,anything less is a big turnoff....meaning no offense to you!

Answer 8

You look him in the eye and say that sounds like fun or that would be nice yes I'd like that.

If you are saying yes to love.  It should be very happily or not at all.

Answer 9

you're serious?

just say, i have plans already

then he'd walk out feeling stupid and rejected

and there goes your dream beau sulking in the corner

you think he'd make another attempt to ask you out

then you'd be annoyed he's not as eager to spend time with you

Answer 10

Simply nod and say thank you with a smile.

Answer 11

Just answer with a question, such as: "Are you sure?" or "Is that okay with you?".

Answer 12

hays, I don't think I can hide my excitement he he.  I wish I could reply with a simple "sure, why not" but that's impossible.  I'd surely say YES!!! ( with multi exclamation points!!!)
