So here it is... I was wondering what kinds of signs to look out for if a guy or girl likes you. The reason why I'm asking is this, once upon a time I had this friend (a girl). So yeah, at first I was just friends with her. But as I got to know her, I started liking her. We really connected for some weird reason, like it was beyond physical attraction. I liked her for her personality alone (now mind you, she IS pretty, but she had the personality in a girl I was looking for, I guess thats how I started to like her for her personality). So next thing I knew, I started flirting around with her, I couldn't help myself, in my mind I still thought of her as a friend, but in my heart I thought of her as more than that. Now, here's the problem, I could never really tell when she was flirting back with me, like there were times when I thought she was, but I wasn't entirely sure. So eventually, I decided to not do anything, just cuz there were waaay too much complications goin on at the time. Now I'm asking for your help everyone, just so I've got a clue for next time.

You guys can answer for either guys or girls, cuz I tend to lead girls on a bit....I guess I'm just too overly friendly, but yeah, I wanna know what kind of stuff is off limits so I wouldn't do them.

till next time, peace out

Lol

Well, this isnt a hard one. What things does she say back to you? Does she blush or puase and look at you inbetween the conversation? Does she laugh at many of your comments? Those are just a few signs. What does she do when she is talking to you?

Love huh...I understand what you mean T_T. Its hard to say when a girl is making some move's when you think that she is flirting with you..That why its called "love" Its just that strange feeling. You talked with her about this?

Look for things like eye contact, pupils. Is her body facing you or is it turned elsewhere? Is she touching you? Does she laugh and love-tap you? Does she lean in toward you like she wants your attention/approval? Does she play with her hair? Is her posture open? Does she initiate conversation about you or just jabber on about herself?

Don't lean into her and try to be "overly friendly". Just relax, lean back, and see if she tosses out any signals. If she's chatting you up and trying to get your attention while you're just chilling then it's obvious she isn't just being polite and you might have something to work with.

I think that body language would be the easiest and most reliable way to tell. Let me try and see what I remember...

Body language consists of two basic types of gestures: open gestures and closed gestures. Open gestures are displayed when the woman is interested in or attracted to the person presented to her, while closed gestures are displayed when she is not.

Open Gestures
~Once you make eye contact with her, watch her for a few seconds after she looks away. If she does something that implies that she has become nervous due to you making eye contact, this means that she is interested in or attracted to you. For instance, she will play with her hair, adjust her clothing or jewelry, or fiddle with something in her hands.
~She will expose her wrists and palms of her hands only to people she is interested in.
~Her shoulder orientation is one of the most obvious signs of attraction. Her upper body will be facing you if she is interested, in essence, she points her shoulders at what she wants.
~Leaning foward is also an easy sign to pick up. If her shoulders point at you and she is leaning towards you, then she probably likes you.
~Her pupils dilate. This happens while looking at a person she likes, and will get smaller while looking at a person she does not. Keep in mind that lighting can greatly effect this. For instance, if you are outside when the sun is present, her pupils may appear to be very small no matter how much she likes you, and vice versa. The best method to use for testing this is when you can view the change in her pupils when looking at you and then at someone else.
~Check to see if she smiles at you when you make eye contact.
~She laughs at your jokes, even if they're not funny.
~She makes physical contact, ie touches you when you guys are talking.
~She will make eye contact with you and hold it for a longer than usual period of time, almost uncomfortably long. Or you notice her looking at you frequently.
~When she's talking to you, she tilts her head to one side or plays with her hair
~She goes out of her way to get you to notice her
~She initiates the conversation
~She asks if you like certain activities. Does she ask you about your hobbies? Is she being more specific, and asking you if you like a particular pastime? Although she is not actually asking you for a date, it's an implied way of doing it. She could be leading up to asking you out or paving the ground for you to pop the question instead. If the activity in question is dancing, movies or dinner, then it is almost certain.
~She pays you a compliment.
~She imitates/mirrors your body language, ie little things that you do.

Closed Gestures
~She rolls her eyes or is doing something that shows that she's not interested.
~She crosses her arms... This is a tell-tale sign that she is either agitated, nervous, uncomfortable, or just does not like you.
~She crosses her legs and points them AWAY from you.
NOTE: If she points them towards you, that could mean that she's interested in you.
~She leans away from you, wanting to put more distance between the two of you.

O.o this is something I once read to see if someone is checking you out.
Look at your watch, count to 3, then look at her. If she looks at her watch also, then she was checking you out. It is a natural human reaction to mimic the actions of someone that you are interested in. By looking at your watch, you will spark her curiosity and she will be wondering what you are waiting for, and with no other source to gather information from, she will look at her own watch to try to at least determine the time of your expected event.

I hope this helps and good luck =)
Just try not to freak her out by coming on too strong.

Yah but you must be carefull while start looking on her moves and try to make you belive that she feels something more for you. Sometimes girl doesn't noticed that you like her. And she's friendly and nice and sweet. You fall in love with her and one day she tells you that you are JUST friends. And it'll hurts a lot. So my advice for you is just to consider if her behaviour is not the same as it was when your relationship was on friend-level.

But if the true is that you are a good friends...the best way for you is just to ask her if she consider you only for friend...I know it can be hard but it's the best way...belive me...and you won't have to torment yourself then...You must be strong and brave...maybe these features of yours make some good expression on her...All in all i wish you good luck...

This 'luf' is a complicated thing. Its hard to tell if a girl/guy is interested. I mean most girls are shy about these things. In my experience, they are usually quiet and shy during these meetings if they're interested. It sorta takes time to find out. You can't just confess your love to him/her because, lets face it, you'd probably just scare them ^^" Try to look for small things like she singles you out of a whole group or she tries to get you to notice her. Stuff like that. I think jolynda gave you a pretty good list.
Its good that you're good friends with her and that you know some stuff about her. Like the last poster said have confidence. This isn't really help i know but good luck!

Hmmmm...Signs that a girl likes you:
- she blushes when you speak to her and her eyes alway sparkle
- she's calm,yet nervous, and plays with her hair
- she can't look in your eyes and she can't stop smiling..this may b a clear sign she likes you
- she wants to attract your attention...
- she's biting her lips ( XD )

Signs when a girl likes you umm...
mostly they see you often than other girls.
and every meeting always makes her hard to speak
she always aware to her actions

well I suggest you try to take a walk with her and wait her to express her feelings.
its okay to say "I love you" for this reason >_>
but not to reckless using it (-_-a)

Wow i cant believe there is a topic like this, i am in this same situation... kinda

well i have been hanging out with this girl for like 2 months and we are friends, but i kinda like her, and she is always flirting with me and we are constantly talking. Whenever i am over her house or she is over mine and we are playing video games or something, she always moves closer to me, she seems to always be flirting with me and shes really cute.

she does this thing were we will be talking and ill end my sentance and she will stare at me with like puppy dog eyes... then we make eye contact for a few seconds then she will like turn away for a sec... then i will be like "hmmm akward silence" sarcastically of course
then she will turn back and hug me...

most of our conversations our just sarcasm, like completely made up stories, but we can go on and on about absolutly nothing, and find it entertaining in the end. Half the time it ends up really perverted sarcasm... and the once time we were in a store going on with one of our sarcasm things and the worker person looked at us... then he just walked out, it was really funny.

i think she likes me, but i asked her out once... and i didnt know this at the time, but she just broke up with her boyfriend three days before, and she said she was not ready for a relationship yet... she said if we keep hanging out it seems like it could happen. Its been like a 2 weeks since i did that, and we hang out like everyday... so i dont really want to ask her out again and get shot down... it doesnt feel good.

Jolynda, you have some great info there. I dont think i could have put it better myself. I like your style ;)

Hm... not much experience in this subject but things like anonymous notes in your locker at school is a definite sign ^^

Here are some things that I do when I like someone:
- I blush a lot. ^_^
- I smile a lot and I'm usually very fidgity. I play with my necklace or with my hair.
- I laugh a lot too.
- I get really quiet. My voice gets a lot softer than usual because I'm nervous.
- I straighten my clothes and try to make sure I look good
- I try to be funny in order to attract his attention.
- I make a point to try to be near him a lot too (but not too close ^_^;)
- Oh, and I usually ask for a hug when we have to say good-bye ^_^

If you notice girls doing things like that then there is a good chance that she might have an interest in you. Not all girls are the same remember, this is just how I am. ^_^

Signs:

-Glittering arround har haed.
-Eyes turn heart shaped
-Sometimes they blush
-Sometimes their nose starts bleeding
-Most of the time both deny it
-Most of the time they'll find out each other feeling arround the last episode


...Damn, I think i need more contact with real people and less manga and anime. >_<


Wouldn't this be much easier if everybody were straightforward?
