How can you tell if a girl craves attention or actually likes a guy?

[Anonymous]

Even if she acts the same way around other guys (talking to other guys around you, etc.), you'll probably notice that she laughs and smiles more when she's talking to you if she really likes you. And this might be different for different girls, but for me when I really like somebody, I try not to touch them. I know this might sound weird, but I become more careful around the one I like even though I don't really care nor get nervous with other guys (when my leg accidentally touch theirs or something).

today when she was looking down and not smiling I seen her before she seen me and when we spoke she started smiling hard and didn't stop smiling at all it was like her mood was lifted up or something.

If she just craves attention you'll be able to tell fairly early on. She's not relishing the opportunity to do something nice for you, but rather seems to be waiting around for recognition and reward, then she's self-centered and doing things for you just to get the attention -- from you and from others. This can include anything from a hug or hand-holding, to the purchase of a gift.

If she does things for you and doesn't wait around for the praise and glory, then she genuinely likes you.

Agree

[pr3ttybr0wn]

if she acts the same way with you as she does other guys, she wants attention. if she only shows the attention to you or guys she likes, then she actually likes u

[That-Guy]

Watch how she acts around other guys, if it's same attention she gives to them and you... you'll know she doesn't think anymore of you than them...

However... if it seems you get different kind of attention, be more aggressive.

[Asker]

she say hey and bye to them but with me she wants my full attention she wants me to flirt with her. she wants me to hurry up and get a car(I have thhew money for one but I want to save up at least 6k.) she wants to talk to me very and I mean every day at work.

[Lilyaris]

If she takes an interest to learn about you, that's usually an indicator that she actually likes you. If she never asks you questions about yourself or your life and/or if she is never open to doing things you'd like to do (within reason), then she probably just wants attention and will milk you for all you've got until she finds someone else who can give her more.

not all girls that do this are the same! some girls know they are using someone...and yes I will admit to having done so myself, but the gentlemen was a lot older than I was and clearly understood that I needed what he was willing to provide...but than again in that sense:if an older man is seen with a younger female he's considered to be good in the sack. so for an older man to pay for my attention, it is not asking much, especially since he will most likely be set with booty calls afterwards.

[Asker]

heres the situation. she wants to talk to me everyday she asks me am I single and do I have a cell phone every 4 weeks. she always smiling when I talk to her she began to playfully hit me and walk side by side with me. but one day she told me she was in a relationship in dec. than in jan she told me they broke up in dec. 17. after I told her I was single and why I was single when we conversate naw no matter what she has something to say about this boyfriend she has. all the time she talk about it

[Asker]

so much that it makes me think either she don't have a boyfriend or she trying to make me jealous cause right after she said what her boyfriend did for her and bought her nad give to her she went to asking me what I think about her body do I like her body and do I like a shirt that she was going to buy. my thing is she called me over to talk to me but yet she is talking about this boyfriend in almost everything. but she stopped doing it after she seen it wasn't working I guess

[Lilyaris]

Lol, hmmm. Just the fact that she keeps talking to you about this ex of hers non-stop and is asking you for your opinion concerning her body and style, makes me think that she's feeling... inadequate because of the break up and needs someone of the male gender, to whom she can cling to and who can provide her with compliments. She wants someone to like her and she needs help regaining some confidence when it comes to the male gender.

[Lilyaris]

Though, it's totally possible that I'm way off. You said that you told her that you are single and that there is a reason for being single? If she took that conversation as you not wanting to start a relationship at all or that you weren't interested in dating her, then she may have plopped you in the friend zone. Thus the constant talking about her ex. If he's on her mind, and she has labeled you as off-limits, then she doesn't see a problem in confiding in you.

[Asker]

i told her my reason for breaking up is that I'm trying to get into college this August and that I'm focusing on myself on getting to the right path then I can deal with a relationship.or be friends with someone who wants the samething in life as do and maybe even more I cnt tell the future. I told her I want to have something going for myself and if I end up starting a family I can provide for them. she said oh well that's good and I don't date men who don't have nothing going for them. then

[Asker]

she taloendand what he got her for Valentine's day(she said this the next day when we was having a convo.) but on Valentine's day I didn't talk to her because she acted all mad for some reason. then all of a sudden we was in the same room and I was talking to a friend I could feel her eyes tearing a hole in my head I look around every time she is stairng at me. so later on I was talking to another friend and she was looking all mad at me so I went and spoke with her and she had a lot to tlk bout

hmmm, good question. Those that crave attention tend to have low self esteem or at least enjoy the self esteem boost from the attention. They also are manipulative but someone that actually likes you will have a genuineness to them that cannot be faked, but none of this is necessarily apparent from the off

[Asker]

how can you tell if a girl has low self esteem and how can you tell if they enjoy it(attention)?

[Opinion Owner]

they will probably be a bit flamboyant and out going. Those with low self esteem tend to try to cover up their insecurities with false confidence. But they are typically a bit tense and are constantly self involved. Those that are confident are comfortable within themselves and will say ask you about you or talk about things that aren't about them, those that are mature and confident have learned that they do not have be anything more than themselves

[Opinion Owner]

Confident people know to give themselves a break and know that it is okay to make mistakes or to disagree with other people. Do not mistake an extroverted person for someone with low self esteem. Again I think it's mostly about the way they carry themselves and how much they talk about themselves or rather how little they engage or discuss other people of topics. Try researching it online. But if she likes you, she will want to know things about you and do things for you

[Opinion Owner]

but she will talk about herself a little bit, just like anyone else would if they liked someone because they want to show prove to a guy or a guy wants to prove to a girl of their accomplishments

[myty420]

"Do not mistake an extroverted person for someone with low self esteem." I can totally see how someone may have considered me to be of low self esteem because I am extroverted. That does not mean I don't also talk about myself. I don't do it for approval. I'm a pretty bad judge of character I'll admit. so most of the time I'll openly admit my faults or weaknesses so that people who may have a problem with them can stay away from me. I think someone may have taken it to mean weakness in the past.

[Opinion Owner]

yeah, I completely understand, it's a fine line to walk, everyone is different, and you will never really know until you get to know them

[xobrowneyedbeauty]

the way girls dress can usually help you out there. if she wears really revealing clothes and a ton of makeup, chances are she craves attention. she will usually seem to be trying too hard too. and be super obnoxious. those are the main hints.

[Asker]

what about if your working at a multibillion dollar company?

[xobrowneyedbeauty]

um that I cannot answer as I know no one who works at a multibillion company and am too young to work at one myself.

[myty420]

not all girls who dress like that do it for the attention. I'll admit to being an attention whore, and I do NOT wear a sh*t ton of makeup and glitter and fancy clothes. I like spaghetti straps but my generation like invented them! it's what every girl was wearing...and the girls who didn't did not have as much fun as I did. but like I wrote not all girls who dress like that do it for the attention:I know plenty of girls who LOVE the ritual of putting on makeup and dressing up.

[xobrowneyedbeauty]

there's a difference between "dressing up" and dressing like a whore.

[ixi10]

does she give you attention? or is it always about her?

[Asker]

all the time she spots me before I spot her. she gets mad and say I heard her calling my name. she smiles when I see her but I don't know if she likes me or the attention she gets from talking to me

[originalmountaindew]

My take is that she craves your attention more than she likes you. I could be wrong.

[myty420]

girls that crave attention deserve love too you know!

[myty420]

she'll sleep with the one she likes!

[myty420]

actually the comment below is a lot more helpful than mine...i've had a lot og guys on my ass at one time and all within the same vicinity.it's really hard for a girl that keeps getting hit on by random guys to persue something more with someone she is actually interested in...especially without hurting other peoples feelings...if she truly likes you she WILL ask you questions about your more personal life...rather than just give a friendly greeting. I don't milk it though. I pitch in
