it seems you have a very low opinion of women and or are rather cynical.

If I told a guy I liked the way he smells and I liked talking to him it would probably mean that I was interested.

Smell is very important. I dated a polo player for a while and I loved the way he smelled -- a combination of his cologne, sweat, horses mixed in with the slightest hint of smoke.

I used to keep one of his shirts when he left after season and I was always sad when the smell left the shirt.

I found after I lost interest in him I no longer liked the way he smelled anymore.

Good thing you're not a painter, that's a pretty broad brush you're painting with.

OP, after spending some time deciphering your sentence, I think you're asking if a woman telling you that you smell good is a good thing.  Yes, that is a good thing.  It's a Martha Stewart level good thing.

Either that, or you just got a peek at his balance sheet.

There is a wonderful short story by Anis Nin that is exactly the scenario you have given us here. Women are so attracted to aromas, thus the delight in flowers for one thing. Like I said, ask the women.

My guess is that he's joking...

Probably just a sarcastic response to the OP's rather naive sounding post.  I don't believe the OP really doesn't know the situation he described is a good one--romantically speaking (unless the woman was his mom or sister...).  But it's possible, I guess, he has no clue.

Yes--you said "ask the women."  But you also said disregard the comments from men.  So the OP might be at a loss to ask women since you are the one suggesting it...

The big legal question in Arkansas is:  After you get divorced, are you still brother and sister...?

Yes, it is potentially good.  Yes, it is potentially bad. The worst thing you can do is make any assumptions, especially based on responses from strangers.  The best thing you can do is ask exactly what you want to know, from the person who has the answer.

OK I wrote it badly

She said that she likes the way I smell and also likes talking to me.  I did mention the photography a day or two after these events and that seems to have perked her up...  ..

However there will be no freebies in that department.

As I read thru the rest of the thread, other posters took care of this... but when I got here my first thought was that here in California we have a longer list of no-no's when it comes to relationships-- no one related. No cousins, aunts, half sisters etc etc....

Ahh, Texas.
