How can you tell if a girl is just messing with you or really likes me?

[Slothman]

I'm semi shy. I can talk to girls no problem like asking for a pencil or talking about how much we hate the teacher. I can't get any closer like a date or seeing each other after school. I don't know if I'm attractive, like no clue. In my past many girls mess with me and I like it. As I think about it later, I think she just wants to break my heart and get a laugh. I don't want to throw away my first real relationship!

Dude, stop worrying about what they think about you. Just play it cool. If you see a girl you like, then start talking to her, but not about pencils, man. Ask her questions that will allow her to open up to you. Girls like it when men pay attention to their feelings. But you need to expand your pool, too. Meaning that there are girls out there that do want to play with your heart. If you suspect this, then just move on. You ever heard of the saying, " there are plenty of other fish in the sea?" It's true! So get out there and go fishing! And for God's sake, man, get this idea of a "relationship" out of your mind. It will happen when it happens. If you keep pursuing women with that state of mind, you will come off as desperate to them, which is a total deal breaker.

So true

[homegrown]

if a girl really likes you, she will probably try and make an effort to be around you and talk to you.

you won't be ignored if she really wants you.

she'll smile a lot when you're around probably

and if you ask her to hang out, she'll definitely want to.

if she's messing with you and you ask her to hang out, she'll probably just say like "maybe" or that she's busy, or just won't reply.

Don't think about whether you are attractive or not. I am not at all attractive and it sometimes makes me insecure but most of the time I give a shit. you should love yourself. I don't know but it's true that it's often difficult to love and respect ourselves. You don't think if she is attracted or not. If you are interested just tell her or ask her out. Don't over think.
