How To Tell If A Girl Likes You

While women can be hard to read sometimes, there are many ways to tell if a girl likes you.

When it comes to dating, knowing when a girl is into you can be helpful in determining the time and effort to invest in her.

Although some people like to play games and not all women are the same, figuring out exactly which signs to look for can make your life easier.

To help you tell, we’ve compiled a list of signs a girl likes you.

Signs A Girl Likes You

Her Family and Friends Know About You

When a girl has a crush, she’ll be tempted to talk about that crush as often as possible. Most girls need a sounding board to figure out whether their feelings are real.

At the same time, consulting with someone else can help her decide whether pursuing this potential new relationship is worth it.

“When a girl is into you, you’ll notice that her loved ones at least know your name,” explains Chris Dek, co-founder of Top Trends Guide.

Perhaps you’re together and her mom calls her and she mentions that she’s with you. If you meet her friends for the first time and they already know what you do for a living, even better.

She Reschedules A Date She Can’t Make

If a girl likes you, you’ll become a priority. However, life has a pesky tendency of getting in the way every now and then.

When she can’t make a date, she’ll make it a point to reschedule as soon as possible. Pay attention to how she tells you that she needs to postpone.

Whether she blows you off without any concrete follow-up or immediately suggests you make up for lost time the following weekend will signal how much she’s into you.

She Makes An Effort To Continue The Conversation

Dating can be awkward, especially in the beginning. If you met via a dating app and have little in common, it will take time to find some common ground.

Lulls in conversation are to be expected – and when they occur, it doesn’t mean that the girl isn’t into you.

How she deals with the awkward pauses enables you to gauge her real level of interest. As long as you notice that she’s trying to come up with topics for you two to dissect, you’re on the right track.

If she stares at the ceiling and waits for you to do all the heavy lifting, you’re better off trying your luck elsewhere.

She Compliments You

A compliment can be one of the most popular signs a girl likes you. Too bad they tend to be stingy with their praise, especially when you first meet up.

Girls are wary of acting too interested, so you might notice that she sometimes puts on an icy demeanor to go with her vodka soda on the rocks.

The type of compliment can also divulge her true feelings. Complimenting your T-shirt is fairly innocent, but telling you that you’re a good listener can mean she sees you as relationship material.

She Gets Nervous Around You

A girl who has a crush on you might fidget when you’re around. Maybe she plays with her hair, flusters when she makes a mistake or fumbles her hands as she tells you about her hobbies.

The best giveaway is if she blushes when you give her a compliment.

Granted, each girl is different. Just because she doesn’t look nervous doesn’t mean that she isn’t. When you date a self-assured girl, look for less obvious signs.

Perhaps she laughs a little too loudly at your bad jokes or asks way too many questions about your obscure passions.

She Wants You To Feel Good and Be Happy

When a girl likes you, she cares about your well-being. She wants you to feel comfortable and happy. Not only that, but she’s willing to make an effort to ensure that you are.

If you meet up at a club or restaurant you feel out of place in, she’ll notice and suggest you go somewhere else.

If you’re watching a movie you decide you absolutely hate, she won’t insist you stay until the end credits roll. If you’re anxious and fidgeting, she’ll touch your arm softly and reassuringly.

Actions speak louder than words.

Her Body Language Is Positive and Welcoming

A girl may try to act aloof when she’s really into you, but her body language will still speak volumes.

Her keeping her arms crossed, slouching in her chair, or distractedly scrolling on her phone while you share your darkest secret are bad signs.

However, if she tries to maintain good posture, it means that she cares about how you perceive her, so she’s definitely interested.

Look down at her feet. If they are pointing your way, it’s a tell-tale sign that she likes what she’s seeing.

On the same note, an interested girl will subconsciously find a way to get closer to you. You might notice her leaning your way or moving her chair closer to where you’re sitting.

She Remembers Things You Tell Her

Her paying attention to things you share about your life is another great sign that you have a great chance of scoring a (next) date.

This can also tell you that a casual acquaintance might be interested in something more.

When it comes to a girl that you’re already dating , see if she remembers basic stuff about you that you’ve already shared.

If you have to explain what you do for a living for the third date in a row, it’s different than when a girl brings up your career, interests and hobbies naturally.

You Catch Her Staring At You At Random Times

When a girl is into you – especially a girl you haven’t dated yet – you’ll catch her glaring at you more than once. She’s trying to be subtle, which is more difficult than it sounds.

Her eyes will repeatedly travel your way, sometimes even without her noticing. It’s hard to miss.

If you’ve been dating the girl for a while, notice how she acts when you’re at a party or around friends.

If she’s catching your eye often or looking for you in a crowd, then she likes you and enjoys your company.

She Makes Time For You

A girl who is interested in you will make an effort to see you whenever possible.

Regardless of how busy she is, she will insist that you meet up after work for drinks. If you need a favor, she’ll help out in any way she can.

Even when life becomes too much, she will find a way to make herself available to you.
