How can you tell if a female friend likes you?

Short of her asking you out or asking you to hang out one-on-one?

I'm assuming liking you more than a friend? Notice how she acts around other guys..and then compare her behavior to how she acts around you. If she's not the touchy feely type..but you notice she is always touching or standing very close to you...then its a good sign. If you have been friends for a long time..and you notice she acts differently toward you ...talks more..smiles more...wants to hang out more...more eye contact...talks about you and the future...all these things are signs she might like you more than just a friend. Remember...its up to you to decided what are the signs or hints..vs. these things just being what makes her WHO she is. In other words many girls who want to be friends will act the same as the girls who want more than a friendship, with just a few subtle differences between the two.

If you took this approach you would never find out, because you cannot tell. You would die of old age and tuberculosis and pneumonia and you still would not know. How do I know? Because if you could tell you wouldn't be on GAG trying to find out.

Let me estimate that If even 30-40% of men can tell what women wanted by just looking at them, then the world would be perfect. Damn, we wouldn't even be born because Adam would have told Eve to not take the apple.

So, you can't, and the only practical solution is for you to ask her. Deal with it.

when I like a guy, I give him plenty of eye contatc (from afar though as I'm a little shy), if I see him looking ill quicly look away, I like to find excuses to talk to him all the time and would jump at any opportunity to hang out with him.
