With the subtleties out of the way, you’re both free to escalate quite safely from there. We’ll get into this later though.
Affectionate and handsy
Sometimes the setting just isn’t right to dress or act quite so obvious. When that’s the case, she’ll be a bit more subtle about it. Still obvious 
when you know how to tell if a woman is horny but not so obvious that everyone can see.
In this case, she’ll be more affectionate with you. Maybe even a little handsy at times. She wants to be in your personal space and to see how you react to her being there.
This might start with a compliment about how you look or how she appreciates certain things about you. It’s not going to stop there though.
If she wants you, she’ll keep pressing gently until she gets a response from you. She needs to know that you’re paying attention.
As the night goes on, she might start touching you a little more too. Rather than suggesting you join her at the bar for a shot, she might grab your hand and lead you there instead.
Once you’re there, she’ll stand almost on top of you, just barely making contact. If you still haven’t given her anything, she might even start putting her hands on you as she’s talking. It could be a hand on your chest as she emphasizes a point or on your shoulder as she makes a joke.
Exactly how she displays this affection and where she touches you is fairly irrelevant. She wants you and needs you to know it. She’s escalating with you and is hoping you reciprocate.
Have you ever been on a date with a woman and noticed she keeps looking at more than just your face?
I don’t mean if you’re fiddling with something in the middle of the table or showing her something. I’m talking about in the middle of a conversation. Rather than maintaining eye contact while you talk, her eyes keep wandering.
Yeah, she’s checking you out and it’s a great sign for you. If you turn around quickly and notice her looking at your butt, that’s one thing. When you’re sitting a foot from each other, face to face and keeps doing it though, she doesn’t mind being caught.
She obviously finds you physically attractive and there’s an excellent chance that she wants you right now. And that means it’s the perfect time to create sexual tension.
Think of it like when you’re sitting across from an attractive woman in a low cut dress. It’s very distracting, right? The difference is, it’s acceptable for her to look.
If it fits with your sense of humor, you can even call her out on it. Jokingly, of course. I always stop mid-sentence and say “hey, my eyes are up here!” It’s a lighthearted way of saying that I see what she’s doing and it’s okay.
What to do when a woman is horny
Once you’ve identified that she wants you, learning how to react is simple. In fact, the basics of it are the same across all situations. There are just two steps to cover here.
Acknowledge what she’s doing
So much of what she’s doing is about making sure she has your attention. She wants to know that you notice her.
To avoid giving her the wrong signals here, make sure you acknowledge that she’s building sexual tension. It can be something subtle like continuing a sexual conversation she initiated.
If you’re in the right environment and have the confidence, you can also choose to be more direct. If she moves a couple of inches closer to you in a booth, put your arm around her and pull her next to you.
