How do you know if a girl likes you or if she's just leading you on?

I don't think this is any different from the following question: How do you know a guy wants you for more than just sex? If you can answer that, then you have your answer. Watch He's Just Not That Into You.

1. Does she treat you differently than she treats other guys?
2. Does she elect to spend time with you without you calling her?
3. Does she call you? When she replies to your calls does it take hours/days/weeks for her to get back to you?

The signals are there... and they are a lot like the signals guys give when they are interested. You just have to clue yourself in.

When all else fails - ask her. If she never talks to you again, that's not the kind of girl you want to hang out with any way :-)

its kind of hard to tell. some girls do it subconsciously and some girls truly want your uh.. affection? haha well I'm sorry I was no help hah.

well this is just my opinion but when I like a guy I bring up things they said before like if they said they were getting a puppy or something the next time I talked to them I would ask them how the puppy is. and also with a guy I like I make simple complements like if they have a cool shirt on I will tell them that. now I have lead on two guys and I felt horrible both times because I didn't realize I was doing it. so the difference between likeing the guy and when I was leading them on was how I was reacted to things. like if there was a awkward moment I would point it out but if that happened with a guy I liked I would try to just keep the convo going. hope that helped and sorry you got lead on.

it kind of vareys.. and its hard to tell sometimes because girls never no what they want. so she could like you but here are the signs, what do your friends say ? if they notice something you dont.. there's a problem. is she also known for flirting with guys all the time? ..do you give her endless amount of attention? she might just feel obligated to lead you on because she loves the attention and does she not answer you when you call her or text her constantly? girls are stupid. they do this for power and attention. but if you don't want to be lead on anymore don't talk to her much.. and talk to other girls who actually like you for you! and don't fall for her stupid tricks.

Girls are the most difficult beings for boys to analyze (And God only knows why they are like that). Even if a girl stares at you longer than usual, it doesn't necessarily mean that she is interested in you. She is probably admiring your physique, you hairstyle, your clothes, & so on.

Likewise, when a girl looks away, it doesn't necessarily mean that she is not interested in you. Probably your presence makes her nervous enough to look elsewhere.

Even if she compliments or praises you, it may not mean that she is interested in you. She is just being a good friend with you that's all.

The only concrete way of knowing whether the girl is interested in you or not, is by asking her whether she likes you are not. We boys often misconstrue by such behavior.

One good way to tell is if the girl makes you a priority - in other words, she'll go out of her way to talk to you, hang out with you, etc. when she didn't necessarily have to. If she's paying you particular attention and flirting with you for a decent amount of time, that's a good sign. Not a 100% sign of success, but a step in the right direction.
