How to send a "I like you signal" to a female?

[Anonymous]

i like this female in my class I think she likes me too but I am a shy person and I rather show her than tell her. what is some I like you signals that a guy can give a girl.

It depends how shy you are. If you're really shy, then just going up and talking to her out-of-the-blue will send a signal. You want to show interest in her life...so you know, asking her about mundane things that most people wouldn't care to ask about is also a good way to send a signal.

The other signal that is common for people your age is to just glance at her a lot. She will eventually find out you're checking her out.

However, an important thing about girls I want to share with you, is that they love "gray areas". Girls often figure out early on that a guy probably likes them, but they keep their "poker face" on until you've passed a certain barrier.

Every girl is a little different with what that barrier is. Some girls (the flirty type) will start sending signals of encouragement almost immediately, but you can't always trust the signals that much because sometimes the simply mean, "I want you to give me attention", not "I like you".

Other girls keep the poker face for a very long time, even if they know a guy likes them and they like him. It seems silly that they wouldn't do anything, but as pointed out, many girls are perfectly content with the gray area of two people liking each other but nothing happening.

One of the reasons for this is that girls don't traditionally view themselves as having a lot of control about when a relationship begins...so they simply don't worry about it as much as guys do. It took me a long time to realize that this is why so many girls act passively.

It's not enough for them to know that a cute guy likes them, to get them really excited. This happens all the time without leading to a relationship, so especially as girls get older, they learn to not really care if a guy likes them or not. The attitude is more "whatever will be will be"...it's cool that you like them, but that's enough to get their hopes up.

What gets a girl excited is if she thinks a cute guy is about to ask her out, or ask to be her boyfriend, or whatever else she might be looking for! They want to see the ball rolling.

This is not to say there aren't a few girls who are empowered enough to realize they have some control in developing a relationship...that they can do things other than just sitting by and waiting for it to happen. But unfortunately, most don't see this and it's not just that they're shy. It's the fact that a lot of girls try to avoid developing strong feelings for a guy until he makes a serious move. The poker face you see is actually fairly legit.

So even if you send a girl a good signal that you like her, don't expect magic to happen. And even if she decides to send you a signal back, it doesn't mean that much until you've made a move.

Here just ignore all the long answers. That makes things complicated. For classroom girls, just talk to her sometime in class, sit next to her if you can, say hi when you sit down by her and ask her how her day is going. With classrooms, you have all year to make your moves, so start slow and build it up over time.

I do sit next to her and talk to her. I catch her looking at me all the tmes like she want to say something but she don't she wait till I say something.

I would ask her friends if she liked you or kinda let one off her driends "overhear" you talking about her and see if she acts duff. There's always facebook, and it would be a lot easier messaging or im-ing her that saying it to her face. Just be prepared for the outcome to go either way.

She is kinda like me she has friends but you not gone see her wth them you gone see her by herself if you see her.

Make her a mixed playlist of songs that translate your feelings or thoughts for her...i know it sounds cheesy but heyy I would love that..its simple and a bit romantic if you pick the right songs, you can even decorate the cover and personalize it...it would make a great "present" lol

Make her a present! That's showing without words! Then just judge the rest on her reaction to the gift.

girls are usually much more shy than guys so even if she sees that you like her what makes you think she will act on it?

[Asker]

If you show signs and communicate as well most likely they would. most are shy but if you show them signs they would show you signs back and would let you know threw body language and if she gives good feedback than I would react on it. just communicate without saying nothing that's why I want to know signals to show/do.
