Why does her eyes open wide and she smiles when she sees me?

Her eyes open wide and she smiles. She always says hello too

Why do people smile a lot? Or chew with their mouth open? Why are people shy? Or laugh often? It’s just a trait dude.

But she barely knows me. Now she and I are just talking so easily. She seems to have taken a shine to me for no reason.

I do like her.

I think that’s what’s happening here — you like her so you’re looking for any kind of hint that the feeling is mutual. I don’t think her eyes opening wide is the best indicator in your situation. It’s just too general of a trait and something people absentmindedly do. Your best bet would just be to tell her you like her. Maybe not so directly but ask to take her for drinks or something.

She has been asking me some questions on a more personal level. Like who I went out with on Saturday. Where I grew up and what suburb I live in etc

But even those are just regular questions you ask someone as you become friends. I would feel more certain of her having mutual interest if she were blatantly flirting, but the questions you’re talking about are things I discuss with my coworkers, we’re all young but she doesn’t matter. There needs to be something more substantial. As to the other part of what I said, just to repeat — how come you don’t make a move?

**but “that” doesn’t matter, not “she”

[Asker]

I just don't know what her intentions are. Is she just been friends or is it something more. I'm literally a stranger to her. But she just one day started giving me the biggest smile and wave everytime she saw me. She only behaves like this towards me.

The only way to really know is to ask her. I wish I could say that the interactions you’re listing had more meaning behind them, but from my perspective they’re just too generic and don’t mean much. Could she have a crush? Sure. I’m not there to witness what you witness or get the vibes you get. Tbh though the only real way to know is asking her directly yourself.

Then what are things girls do when they like a guy they barely know?
