malty · Accepted Answer

Confident girls: Will tend to invade your personal space a little bit. They will strut when they walk towards you. They will compliment you. Laugh at your jokes genuinely. You two lock eye contact in conversations. She will adjust her clothing or hair. Her body posture might seem abit sexual. She might even touch you, like on the arm or hand.

Key body language:

-They do a bit of a pout (like Angelina Jolie, Michelle Pfieffer)

-They stare deep into your eyes when you talk

Shy girls: They tend to look away most of the time when you look at them. But they do stare at you. You are their man candy. A shy girl usually hides her signs of attractions. She doesn't come off as those kinda girls that seem to flirt alot. Instead they withdraw, they tend to move further away when you invade their personal space. They'll unconsciously embarrass themselves. They'll ask you questions that the answer seem rather obvious, but they ask anyway. They laugh at your jokes all the time, even when you didn't intend to be funny. They blush quite often. When she's really shy, you can see her tremble abit. Her head and hand will start to shake. She'll stutter. Her voice might crack.

Needy/desperate girls: They'll text you ALOT. They'll also try to strike up all sorts of conversations. When you leave they'll ask "Where are you going?". When they see you talking to other girls they might try to jump in, or later ask you what was that about. You can feel their dying need of attention lol.

Tomboys: They'll always be around you. It may seem like they treat you as one of their boy-friends but this girl would ALWAYS hang around you. Might even invite you to go out. Tomboys are straightforward.

Cocky girls: They mask their attraction towards you. When they know you're there, they pretend you're not even there, until you come up to them and they say "Oh, Hi! What a surprise! I didn't see you there" They are always with their girlfriends. They expect the guys to make the moves. Cocky girls like the chase. When you invite them to go out they pretend their busy, but then later say that their plans are "cancelled" so they could go out with you. They might tease you a bit.

Tip: Stop chasing any girl who doesn't seem interested when you talk to them. Like their body is faced towards another direction, their facial expression is one of disgust or not impressed. It's a clear message of "I don't like you, please leave me alone" If not, you're just wasting your time.

These are not exactly accurate, it's just what I think. It's just that I've been those girls (not the needy and desperate ones) before, and I know some of those girls. My flirting style changes ALOT. Girls are complicated. Some girls(say me) may not even like you until you START chasing them! Girls like to be flattered.

However I have some girlfriends who just seem to flirt with every boy she knows, and it doesn't mean she likes them.

Hope I gave you a bit of an insight.

Hey, guys are complicated too!

Hi there. I have read some of the posts and there is a difference between, when a girl likes you more than friends and when a girl is just hanging as a friend. I have been told that I am easy to get along with (and engaging). I laugh a lot and generally can have a good time with just about anyone doing anything. There have been some unfortunate instances where the guy has taken it the wrong way. I say unfortunate, because I have had married men and guys who are boyfriends of friends try to kiss me while we are just talking. I never understood why that happened until recently. To me we are just talking and hanging out (the hanging out thing wasn't planned, it is usually a group thing, but at some point we are alone for a bit). I am being me and laughing and smiling and talking with this guy, then bam... he screws it all up!

NOW... If I do like a guy and we don't know each other, I will try to show him by always making a point to smile at him from across the room and be sure that he sees me and smiles back... and another time I might wave and then look away. If he gets close I always find something to say to him. If we talk a few times, I will do little things like touch him on the arm, bump into him lightly if we are looking at something together... get close to him, but keep up the conversation.

If I have gone out on a date or two with the guy and I like him... I still wait for him to show me that he is interested. I let him take the lead and keep going out with him (and always try to be close to him and have fun). When things get more serious. I will stop things and let him know how I feel to see if we are on the same page... and go from there.

Sassafras · Accepted Answer

I walk straight up to him and lay one on his mouth. haha...I have actually done this before. I'm not subtle shall we say?

Honestly though, I'm a very straightforward and honest girl. Other guys I've liked I've simply asked them out on a date - pitched the idea to them, gave them my number, etc. I'm of the mind that I'd rather not waste time with guessing games - nor do I think the guy wants to - so I will often make the first move or take the risks. Almost always the interest has been returned and the guy is relieved! If he isn't into me though, then I've just saved myself a LOT of time and anxiety over flirting or trying to read signals and I can move onto someone else. I don't get caught up with it because there's lots of fish in the sea and I'm quite confident, so I take my chances and kinda wear my heart on my sleeve. It opens me up to great opportunities with good guys that might not have come to fruition if I was too shy or passive, and it helps me from lingering on ones that aren't worth my time because my interest isn't returned.

Having said that, however, if I develop feelings for a guy who started out as a friend, I am much more cautious and passive in showing interest because I'm always afraid of ruining the friendship. So I will just make myself really available to him, talk/text/email regularly, invite him out in a group or alone whenever I get the opportunity, compliment him, try to make physical contact in the way of hugging and things like that.

bcrombie · Accepted Answer

Does she lean into you when you are talking or does she cross her arms when you are speaking?

Does she listen or talk over you with little interest in what you are saying?

IS SHE BEING NICE?

Girls can be confusing in the department of giving you a chase or not - each of them have a different motive when persuing a relationship.

Does she unconsciously flip her hair when she is talking to you, does she make eye contact with you when you are speaking? Does she laugh at your jokes?

Girls can be a lot more direct than you think they are being.

I've learned girls give guys categories

1. Interested: shy

2. Interested in friendship: overly comfortable with you

3. Not interested: distant, avoidant

that-one-girl · Answer

I've been sitting here trying to list things that a normal girl would do to indicate she likes you...

But each time I read over the "sign", I realize that I never do that when I like a guy.

I'm really shy so when I like someone, I make it pretty difficult for them to figure out whether I like them or not. I have my guard up almost constantly.

If the guy I like calls me, I'll be more than willing to talk on the phone with him.

I'll remember little things he says, or events that have happened... usually these things are so insignificant, even HE doesn't remember until I bring it up.

I'll text every once in awhile, but not too often.

I show concern for him, example... if I see that he has fallen asleep and doesn't have a blanket, I'll put a blanket over him even though I know he hates blankets, lol.

I always make a point to hug him goodbye.

I'll smile a lot when I'm around him, even if I'm not looking directly at him smiling. I'm just happy to be in his company.

I'll play-wrestle with him (usually if he initiates it)... and I'll do it in an intimate way, like trying to wrap my arms around him or be close to him. My guy friends will wrestle around with me, but I usually try to prove a point and hurt them somehow, and it usually doesn't last very long.

I'll invite him to do things with me and make it seem like a "friend date" (like concerts or sporting events)

I show interest in his life, like his job or his hobbies, sometimes his family.

Those are the things I do, and I'm really shy. Most of the time these signals are subtle and he won't pick up on them, but I won't do anything really drastic to show I'm interested. I rarely make the first move lol.

Anonymous · Answer

i attempt to make eye contact then I blush and look down at me feet, I also look down when he's around me because I'm shy when I'm walking...i smile naturally when I see him,its like that saying "my heart smiles every time I see u" I also start dressing up to impress him, I try to run in places hoping ill see him, I wait for him to say hi first because I don't have balls, and then I say hi bac with a low voice, with my friends I'm mad hyper and hysterical and when I see him its like I lost my voice all of a sudden, I also speak girlier when I'm talking to him, if that makes sense, like its more squeaky, low, and I giggle and go hehehe like a doofus =/ I'm such a retard seriouslyyyy...my eyes pop when I see him because he's just so attractive in my eyes, if you see a girl with widened eyes, not normal or squinting or dull, but bright and wide open when you see her, she likes u, I'm not sure about other girls, but I suck at making eye contact with all ppl, I only make eye contact with the guy I like, or someone I see extremely attractive...if its like a guyfriend or even my girlfriend, I never look straight in the eye when talking, so that's a good hiint to know, I also get nervous around the guy and walk faster in a hurry when in reality I won't have anywhere to go really, I just wanna run before I do something stupid and make a fool of myself, that's something most guys misunderstand that a girl doesn't like em or she's ignoring him, but in most cases, she's nervous and runs...

i would suggest you secretly stalk her, women alll LOVE MEN WHO STALK, even if its someone they don't like, they love the attention, secretly, sssh! I'm not saying creep her out, but try to be same places as her, make it seem like a coincidence, and she will become familiar wth you and you won't be a stranger anymore...=]

sagokfree · Answer

It is hard to know when a girl likes you or not. I agree with pretty much all of the things said on here. When I like a guy but I don't know him well, I am usually more shy- looking at feet, not talking much, you can catch me staring at you...um...that sorta thing...

If I like a guy that's a friend first...i relaly don't want to ruin the friendship but I tend to be more tomboyish (I don't really like stereotypes but the chick who categorized girls was kind of right on about me)...I usually want to be around you and laugh at every joke, no matter what...talk a little too much and sometimes make things a awkward but not necessarily in a bad way. I guess I sometimes play with your hair...um...smile a lot, hit your arm playfully...play with my hair lol, um...i think that's about it..

Shay09 · Answer

It all depends on the girl/lady. Some women are are not afraid and they will most definitely go up to you and say "I like you". Other girls will give you all the signs that they like you so you can make the move. While some are to shy and they will only glance at you butt urn away when you catch them. Here are a few advice.

* If you caught her starring at you off guard more than a few times a wk...she might be interested.

* If she keeps coming around you...and asking you advice on things

* directed eye contact when she is talking to you

* Also while she has her back to you, if one of her friends facing you keep starring (she probably ask her to see if you are looking at her).

* sorry I can't think of anything else each girl acts differently.

Ian-Doc-Darley · Answer

Hi Pal,

All I can say is good luck finding the true answer to this question! They say that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, and it's not without reason. I am 42 years old and I'm no nearer knowing the definative answer to this question than when I was 16. When a guy wants or needs something; he will just ask outright. Girls are very subtle in their actions in more ways than just dating, it takes me a week and the help of several astolgists, nuclear physicist and claivoyants just to figure out when my partner wants a new carpet or a pair of shoes.

Good luck and welcome to the mysterious but wonderful world of female decoding!

missutoo77 · Answer

Her eyes should tell you everything you need to know.

If not, you should know by the way she acts "differently" around you.

She will flick her hair.

Dress nicer - if she knows she'll be seeing you that day.

She might even ignore you if you two have been playing the "silent flirting game" for awhile.

Look at her, is she looking at you? Does she look and hold stare or turn away? both by the way are signs she likes you!

pantherpride1 · Answer

When girls like guys, they:

-smile a lot

-laugh too loud when it isn't that funny

-hit him lightly or touch his arm

-pout a little

-look right at his eyes but look away quickly if the guy stares back

-giggle

-play with their hair

-turn around and whisper with their friend

-try to get closer

-forget what she's talking about (not make any sense!)

Flower04 · Answer

You can tell if they smile at you and laugh with you more than they do with other guys, they want to be close to you, they are either shy or comfortable around you, they tend to talk about you or with you a lot, they invite you places, they compliment you, they ask what you're doing, they look at your eyes, they look and look away, they tell you they like you...the list goes on.  It varies from women to women though.

yellows · Answer

She flirts with you. Tells you she's available (hinting) or she asks you to call her. If your really not sure ask her about her last relationship- what happend? If she answers you and flirts saying something like she's interested in someone now something to that nature and doesn't mention another dudes name chances are its probably you!

steffibeth · Answer

I am shy so I can tell you how shy girls react :)

-they tend to not make eye contact with you. if they catch you looking at them, they will almost immediately avert their eyes.

-they smile a lot

-i know when I like a guy I tend to hit them (lightly)

-they play with their hair

PAP92994 · Answer

it depends on if the girl is shy or outgoing, but I'm  kinda shy around guys I like so il speak 4 myself. when I like a guy I try and make eye contact(I think that applies for everyone though), il try to be places where there will be a good chance ill see him, and if were in the same room il glance his way frequently. il always try to look nice,and if I pass him when I'm with a friend il try to talk a bit louder than usual to try and get his attention

fireykitty · Answer

When we make an effort to talk to you or hang out with you, is when we seriously like you. especially if she's making the first move, etc. also, when she asks you about your relationship status as well.

When were just physically attracted to you, we'll flirt to see where it goes. Look out for signs like her touching you casually, and laughing at all your jokes, even if they aren't funny.

If both of those happen, she wants you.

JenniferArt21 · Answer

There are multiple ways you can tell...First off if she makes eye contact, (or you catch her looking at you)

Second if you do talk to her and her arms are NOT crossed over her chest then that's a good sign, If she is interacting in the conversation that means she's listening to what you are saying and responding with her opinion.

Girls who don't like you won't even look at you, much less talk to you.

If she happens to be a friend, that's a little trickier.

homegrown · Answer

well when I like a guy, I usually try to find any excuse to be near him.

I'll text him and ask him what he's up to, and try to have a conversation.

I'm not a shy person, but when I like a guy, I become very shy and quiet usually.

I'll nudge them sometimes when I pass by them or something.

and I smile at them a lot and listen to them talk/tell stories.

justice · Answer

well personally if I like a guy, I want to be around him alot, I'll take any excuse to touch hit or playfully muck around with him.

Ill laugh at his jokes, and feel comfortable telling him personal information.

I will go out of my way to txt him, or contact him in some way, I'll ask to catch up.

But then there playing hard to get, I'll pretend to get angry about stupis meaningless things, I'll pretend to take it seriously when he makes jokes on my behalf, I'll ditch him to go out with my friends if he doesn't text back stright away or is late.

hope this helps

Shiner4 · Answer

she will try to talk to you a lot or look at you a lot and smile.  shy girls struggle to look you in the eye and usually very obviously try to avoid that by looking down.  she smiles ALOT around you.  more confident girls will look you in the eye and will prob try to joke around with you and approach you alot.  its kinda hard to distinguish because its dif for every girl.

sballer5 · Answer

girls can be annoying here...we don't want it to be too obvious that we like you (I mean typical girls, I have no self control) just in case you don't like us. if we smile at you a lot or laugh at what you say, there's a pretty good chance. just read the moods when you're with her.

mikewnaz · Answer

i agree with pretty much everything that one girl said...

but some other signs might be hair twirling in your prescense. hinting at hey lets go see that new movie or something like that.

a good trick is to give her a bottle of water and if she drinks when you drink she might like you or watch her movements...she might mimic your movements ie) cross your legs, cross your arms, etc...

synmar · Answer

It really depends.  Girls are so complicated, but for starters if she is making a lot of eye contact and initiates physical contact (touching the leg, hand, any slight touch) then it's almost a guarantee she's attracted to you somehow.

lovetolaugh1881 · Answer

There are many many ways:

constantly smiling at you

laughing at your jokes

messing with her hair or jewelry when she's around you

a change in personality when she around you (maybe she is more shy when she talks to you)

ilikehim93 · Answer

girls are the most confusing people on the planet. it depends on the girl. I know I'm really really coy and will look away if he's looking at me so he probably gets really confused. research body language of girls. it might help.

Reeses-pieces777 · Answer

well, I would try to talk to him. and I would get angry if he tried to get me jealous. I would smile subtly I guess. I have a hard time looking at a guy if I reallylike him sometimes. um yeah that's about it.

Quella · Answer

Since we are such complicated beings we could have you thinking we do when we don't or vice versa. The best way to know for sure if she likes you then would have to be to say her.

hatethegame · Answer

I'll be honest, most girls are hard to read. Some girls are overly friendly or flirtatious which is a pitfall for all men.

Very few are straightforward. You don't know how many times I've asked and gotten rejected over incorrect reads.

honeyBB · Answer

ask if she wants to hang out sometime and see what her response is.

if she responds well to flirting and stuff you can always just tell her you think she is awesome and you want to hang out with her more

it should come about naturally, imo.
