OK, so you’re interested in this girl.
Maybe she gives you the occasional smile.
Maybe you’ve even had a long conversation with her that ended well.
But does she really like you? How do you know if it’s really going somewhere or just wishful thinking?
Here are 10 signs that show whether or not a girl likes you:
1. She asks for your number and actually calls (instead of blowing off dates)
Girls who want to be around guys make an effort to see them again after they’ve had a good time together.
So if she takes the initiative to get your number, and then actually calls, it’s a pretty sure sign that something is cooking between the two of you!
2. She laughs at your jokes
Psychologists have done studies on laughter, and it turns out that people laugh more at jokes told by people they like!
If a girl laughs at your jokes, it’s pretty clearly an indication that she thinks you’re pretty funny and likes spending time with you.
3. She gives you her full, undivided attention
When a girl is into you, she’ll be all ears and really listen to everything you have to say.
She won’t answer her phone while talking to you or turn away when you’re trying to talk.
She’ll make sure you feel like she’s fully absorbed in your conversation and wants to be there.
4. She doesn’t get flustered when you notice other girls
When a girl really likes you, she won’t care if you occasionally check out other girls – because it won’t bother her!
If a girl is into another guy but can still flirt with you in front of all the “pretty girls” showing off their cleavage and short skirts, that’s not just being civil. That means she’s interested, too.
5. She doesn’t leave as soon as the date is over
If most of your dates end with a hug or kiss, then this isn’t particularly helpful, since every good date should have those elements in place (until later on in the relationship).
But if you haven’t even gotten one yet, then this is how you know for sure that she’s interested in continuing to see you!
6. She like you if she initiates contact
Not only does this tell you that she really likes being around you but it also shows her interest level: The more physical contact she’s willing to make, the more interested she is.
5. She like you if she touches you a lot
This one’s pretty obvious. If she keeps wanting to put her hand around your waist or rest her arm and hand onto yours, it shows that she likes being close to you! (And if she doesn’t like you yet, then how come she keeps doing this??)
6. She mentions things you’ve done together in conversations with other people
If she’s talking about how fun it was to go out with you, this is a sign that she wants her friends and family to know that she’s spending time with you.
7. She makes plans for future dates
If you’ve been on a few dates and she continues to be open to seeing you again, this is how you know she’s really digging the time you’re spending together!
8. She asks for your opinion about something (movie, TV show)
This one is interesting: It shows that she cares what your opinions are – obviously because they matter to her and interest her, but it’s also true that we want those whose opinions we like to share them with others who might care too!
9. She wears outfits/makeup to match yours that day (or just generally likes your fashion sense)
This one can be pretty hard for girls because sometimes even if they don’t have any vested interest in you, they’ll still try and dress nicely just so that others will think they’re attractive as well! So take note of other things
10. She gives compliments + holds eye contact when she speaks to you
When a girl is attracted to someone, she’s much more likely to give them her undivided attention – AND tell them exactly what she thinks of them (the good parts and the less-good parts).
This is why we guys love flirting so much – we get all the positive feelings associated with mutual attraction without any of the scary bits (like rejection!).
So if a girl appears interested in YOU, you probably can take that as a compliment!
