Assessing a relationship in the day and age of dating apps (and ghosting) can be disorienting.
Luckily, there are some tried and true ways to tell if a girl likes you.
Weve all been there, crushing on someone but still totally clueless as to what they want.

Does she want to be friends, or does she like you in a romantic sense?

So, How to Tell if a Girl Likes You?
There are a couple ways you could determine her true feelings.
Instead, try paying attention to social cues and her body language.
When a girl does like you, shes going to act different around you.
Whether subconscious or not, she will be giving you hints as to how she feels about you.
Body Language
Reading and understanding a girls body language is a necessary skill to learn.
Does she sit close enough to you that you accidentally touch shoulders or legs?
This is a sign she is comfortable with you.
Maybe she playfully shoves you?
This is all evidence of her potential feelings for you.
Theres a difference between a friendly smile and an uncontrollable grin because youre just so unbelievably into someone.
A girl who cant stop smiling when shes around you is definitely enjoying spending time with you.
Especially if she blushes and tries to hide how much shes smiling.
If she comes off a little nervous when she talks to you thats okay.
Its normal to be nervous when youre around someone you like.
She might fidget a bit in her seat or keep fixing her clothes or hair.
This is called preening and can mean she is trying to look her best in your presence.
One way to tell if a girl likes you is if she displays open body language.
This could be her making sure there is open space between the two of you with nothing blocking you.
Another example is in how she holds herself.
Having an open stance and situating herself to face you is a sign shes comfortable and focused on you.
Keep your surroundings and situation in mind though.
If she stands with tightly crossed arms, she might be closed off and uncomfortable interacting with you.
But she could also just be cold.
Maybe offer her your jacket?
Mirroring is a subconscious tool we use to display empathy.
Yawning is an example of mirroring.
You cant even read the word without soon following up with a yawn.
She Asks You Questions
A sure sign of a girl liking you is whensheasksyouquestions.
She wants to get to know you better and thats a good thing.
Open ended questions are key topreventing a stagnant conversation.
Its nerve-racking to take the leap and tell someone how you feel.
So instead, you oughta pay attention to the little things.
Remember that not everyone is gifted with an impeccable memory.
Just because she doesnt actively bring up past conversations youve had, doesnt mean she doesnt care.
This is a great opportunity to grow a sense of understanding and closeness.
You have to take the risk at some point.

But in the 21st century, communication is instantaneous.
Its even better if she is the one that initiates conversation.
You should take note of how she treats you when youre around her friends.
She might just want to be friends and thats okay.
When her friends already know about you, youre definitely in a good position.
Take this as a major compliment.
Have you never seen her face beyond the glow of a neon sign?
I apologize, but she might not be into you.
If a girl likes you, she wants you around a lot, not just after hours.
She Teases You

The more comfortable she feels with you the more she may throw some playful banter your way.
Minor teasing and playful jabs can help alleviate tension.
Theres Talk of an Immediate Future Together
Discussions of a future together can come in many forms.
Sometimes the future is what youre doing next week.
She just cant wait to spend more time with you so theres always a date set.
Having imaginative talks about an even more far off future also points to her having feelings for you.
Shes letting you know she wants to keep seeing you and doesnt plan on changing her mind anytime soon.
Shes Available
Do you ever find yourself asking a girl to hang out and shes never around?
Or maybe she always cancels but doesnt ask for a raincheck?
This isnt a positive sign.
If she isnt trying to see you then she isnt interested.
Of course, life happens, and plans get cancelled or go bust, theres no fighting it.
When to Tap Out
Everyone is different.
One persons kindness is another persons confession of love.
Location is important here.
Are you one of her customers?
She could be flirting but she could also just be doing her job.
You also want to see to it more than one sign from this list applies to her.
Just because shes thoughtful and smiles around you doesnt mean shes wanting to date you.
Of course, this list will vary from person to person.
You shouldnt expect her to cross off the entire checklist.
But if youre wanting something more than friendship you oughta be on the lookout for multiple signs.
How to Know If a Girl Likes You?
Get to Know Her.
She might be busy and thats keeping her from her phone, it doesnt mean she doesnt like you.
Its important to get to know her better for this reason.
Youll want to ask what her schedule is like and ask about her family and friends.
