How can you tell if a girl is intimidated by you?

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to figure out if a girl is intimidated by me or maybe she just doesn't care too much... I mean were friends, but she never really approaches me to talk, but she's always open to talking, and we get along well.

What are some signs that a girl may be intimidated by you?

I think you should just stop initiating conversation for awhile to see if it affects her. I get shy around guys I like but if I really like someone, I will make an effort to initiate conversation. She might also be playing hard to get...you're right; it is confusing and I'm not a fan of games, but if you want to know what her true feelings are, either just ask her or stop initiating convo. for a bit.

Hmmm intimidated that can go in a few ways e.g. you have a smarter prescience about you and she could be scared of looking stupid or it could be she like's you again fear of sounding stupid it's a lot easier to talk to people you don't have feelings for. Could you give us some example or Scenario.

Well I just try to be mature and occasionally be goofy around her... But mostly mature. I show her that I'm a great friend, but she never really approaches me to say "hi" or anything. She is always open to talking when I walk up to her but like I said, she never really comes to talk to me. She seems to think of me as a friend too, but its just that sometimes I don't know if she's somehow intimidated by me, or if she just doesn't care all that much.

Ok so then look at her body language what is that telling you. does she tend to look at you more than any one else even if it's just glimpse's, how about her body does it seem to face you even when ur not stood near each other basically what I'm saying is mostly the body says more than what actual words. Try watching this it will tell all. Also when you do speak does she change her tone to match urs all theses are clues hope this helps in any way.

Well we have great eye contact, but sometimes I'll be talking to her and then she'll just turn away and ignore me for a bit, but then she'll come back later to talk to me. But if it's just us, face to face, she is turned towards me and looks me in the eye. She does seem to act mature around me as well, and kind of reserved. If I'm goofy she tends to be a little goofier too... She seems to respect me, but it seems like she doesn't care sometimes... It's really confusing.

Yes sounds like she does like you but may have a little guard up witch she may not drop in less she knows for sure how you feel about her.

But she'll sometimes ignore texts and stuff... Even if its just a friendly thing. She also has a Boyfriend too, just thought I'd throw that out there... I'm always hinting that I like her, but I be the best friend I can be at the same time. Maybe she's picked up on it? Maybe just coming out with the truth would improve matters? The truth is, I'm crazy about this girl and I always have been.

Hhhmm well boyfriend she's not married so technically speaking there's nothing wrong with a good fight lol the lost text's could be cos her boyfriend was around. the only way to know for sure is talk to her.

Shyness. She fidgets, or looks down on the ground when you talk to her. Those are the most basics signs.

What if like her hands seem to shake when I'm around? I noticed that one time. I'm sure mine were too! lol

[Littletad]

... yeah. That's along the lines of fidgeting too.
