She looks at you, laughs at your jokes, and acts nervous around you.You don't know if she's flirting, friendly, or disinterested.Whether you have a crush on a girl for a long time or you just want to know if she likes you, there are a few telltale signs that she does.
Step 1: Open body language is something to look for.
A girl will face in your direction when she likes you.If a girl has her torso turned towards you in an open manner, she is confident talking to you.She may be shy or nervous to talk to you if she has a closed body position such as crossed arms or legs.If she is sitting with her legs crossed, watch her feet.It could mean that she likes you and wants to get closer to you.Generally speaking, a girl will stand closer to you and will have more relaxed body language if she feels comfortable around you, for example, she'll have relaxed shoulders and she won't cross her arms.
Step 2: Make sure you pay attention to eye contact.
If a girl likes you, she will either look at you or hold her gaze for a few seconds.The responses could mean that she likes you.She may still like you even if she pulls away quickly because she is nervous or not ready to reveal her true intentions yet.It will be hard to tell if a girl dilates her pupils when she likes you.If you see the girl staring back at you, this could mean that she likes you.
Step 3: She may try to get closer.
This is a subtle way to flirt when a girl likes you, as she will often try to touch you.It allows a girl to see how responsive you are.She may place her hand on your knee or touch your arm when you say something funny.Some girls won't feel comfortable using touch.Do not assume that she doesn't like you because she does not try to touch you.She might be too nervous to do it.If you like her, break the touch barrier yourself and see how she responds.She may be able to find other reasons to touch you.The "one-of-the-mates" moves can be a ruse to get closer to you.
Step 4: Pay attention to the way she hugs you.
If her hugs are mostly for you, this is significant.Hugs are a way of getting closer to you and touching you without compromising her flirting skills.If you don't want her to get the wrong impression, return the hug or gently refuse her hug.
Step 5: She may mirror your moves.
If a girl imitates you, for example, if you run your fingers through your hair and she does the same a few seconds later, she may subconsciously mirror your movements.This can be a sign that she likes you.
Step 6: She is playing with her hair.
It can be a sign that a girl is flirting with you if she runs her fingers through her hair.
Step 7: There are signs to look for.
When a girl likes you, she will touch her lips, collarbone, or neck to get your attention.She can apply lipstick in front of you.
Step 8: She smiles around you.
She may be signaling to you that she is happy in your presence.Regardless of how funny your jokes are, a girl will laugh at them.
Step 9: Context is taken into account.
Depending on the context, the way you interpret a girl's body language will be different.If you're talking one-on-one with a girl, her touching your arm for a few seconds could be considered flirting.She may just be trying to help, not flirt, if she taps your shoulder and tells you that your friend is looking for you.A girl may look at you without eye contact if you are having an intense conversation.This doesn't mean she likes you.It might be a practice of hers.She may be interested in you if she makes eye contact with you for an extended period of time without talking.
Step 10: It is a good idea to be receptive to praise.
A girl could very well like you if she liked you.She may be trying to make you feel better.She could say things like "you have amazing eyes" or "do you play any sports?"
Step 11: Observe her friends reactions.
If you see most of her friends smiling or giggling at you, it's probably because she has told them about you.Sometimes a friend will come and tell you that she likes you.They might stop talking when you come over and she is having a conversation with her friends.It's possible that you were the subject of the recent conversation.
Step 12: She has a style.
She will try to impress you with her style when she likes you.She can choose to wear revealing clothes or put on lipstick.Not all girls will try to dress like that when they like someone.If you notice that the girl dresses a little more nicely around you, it could be a sign that she wants to impress you.
Step 13: Be aware of gentle, friendly teasing.
When a girl likes you, she may tease you about certain things.Teasing can include calling you out on a joke that isn't funny, poking fun at something you're wearing, or telling you that you are trying too hard.
Step 14: She might make excuses to not talk to you.
She may befriend you on social media, talk to you in person, or text you randomly.These could be signs that this girl wants to know more about you.This is not a conclusive sign that a girl likes you.A girl who just wants to be friends may try to talk to you.She may be trying to tell you that she likes you if she tries to talk to you often.
Step 15: She might mention your relationship status.
When a girl likes you, she wants to know if you're single or not so she can decide if she flirts with you.She may ask you if you have a girlfriend or not.She might say something like, "I bet you went to see that movie with your girlfriend." If you like her, use this as an opportunity to flirt back.You could say, "I don't have a girlfriend, but I have been meaning to see that movie, want to go with me Friday night?"
Step 16: There are times when you should look for "damsel in distress".
When a girl likes you, she may pretend to be in a vulnerable situation to test your response.If the girl you like is outside, she will say "I'm cold!"She wants you to give her your sweater.It's a very sweet gesture if you want to show the girl that you like her.Sometimes a girl will pretend to be bad at something, like saying she doesn't understand the homework.She will most likely be doing this to test your reaction in order to get you to help out.If she doesn't like you but there is someone she likes in the room, she may show other signs of disappointment if you offer to help first.You will be able to move on if you know how she feels.
Step 17: Ask her for help to test her interest.
She might like you if she's always there for you.Don't assume that she's into you only because of one experience.Ask her occasionally for small things, like chewing gum or a pen, and notice how she reacts.She might be interested in helping you and showing other signs of liking you.She may think you're lazy, testing her, or are even a bit of a nuisance if you use this approach too much.You don't want to risk her stopping to like you if she does.
Step 18: She acts around others.
It doesn't mean that a girl likes you.She might just get a thrill out of flirting, or she might not even notice.The best way to see if she is just flirting with you is to notice how she acts around other people.She may like you if she treats you differently than other people, such as holding eye contact just a bit longer with you, or being gentle in her teasing you.
Step 19: You should smile at her.
A genuine smile is a great way to let a girl know that you enjoy being around her.She will associate positive emotions with you since happiness can be contagious.She will feel comfortable around you if she returns your smile.
Step 20: Don't have a conversation.
She can gauge her interest level with this.She may give you signs that she likes you or she may use romantic language.She can show her interest in you by nodding or repeating your words.You can start a conversation with an open-ended question about class, work, or pop culture.If the girl you like doesn't initiate a conversation with you, that's fine.She may be shy or nervous if she likes you.Even if she seems like the most confident girl you know, she may have had a bad experience in the past or may not be ready to approach you yet, but will be receptive if you start the conversation first.It will be easy to start a conversation if you are already friends.If she likes you, the best way to tell is to see if she treats you differently than she does her other friends.
Step 21: Be attentive.
Remember a few small details about the things the girl tells you if you like her.You should listen to the things she says so that you can reference them in the future.Bring up one of the band's songs if she tells you the name of her favorite band.She will be impressed that you took notice.Once she sees how attentive you are, she might start to reconsider.She can observe her body language by talking, so watch for subtle touches.
Step 22: Suggest that you like her.
If you get the sense that she likes you back, then only do this.If you like the girl and are certain she will like you back, a bold approach could open the door to you asking her out on a date with the certainty that she likes you.If you want to satisfy her interest in you, say something like, "I really like having you as a friend, but I'd love to be more than friends."She can be hurt by this and lose her trust in you.
Step 23: Ask her a question.
If you like the girl but aren't sure if she likes you back, you can say "I've been hearing great things about this movie."Would you like to see it with me?You will know she is interested if she says yes.You can change the conversation to something else if she says no.
Step 24: You should be receptive to her signals.
If you sense there is mutual interest, you should back off.Don't take it personally if the girl objects to your romantic advances even if you think she likes you back.A good relationship begins with a strong connection.There are many girls who are right for you.
Step 25: Avoid overanalyzing.
It can be difficult to figure out whether a girl likes you.You may become obsessed with winning her over rather than getting to know her as a person if you over-analyzing her behavior.You can spend time with her and her friends if you don't invest a lot of time in determining whether or not she likes you.You may become permanently "friend-zoned" if you don't make your intentions clear.
