How do you know if a girl likes you or even has a crush on you? These days, it can be quite difficult to know. She may be acting friendly, but what if she’s friendly towards everyone? Is she flirting, or are you imagining it?
Some women are more outgoing than others, so they may seem like they’re flirting even when they’re not. And some are shy, so they may seem withdrawn and uninterested even if they have a huge crush! It can be pretty hard to figure out, which is why we wrote this guide.

47 signs she likes you
Unless a girl tells you outright that she likes you, you will have to try to understand by her context clues. When we have a crush on someone, there are usually changes in behavior around that person. Some changes are intentional (if they’re trying to show you that they are interested), while others are unintentional (due to nervousness).
The more of these signs she shows, the more likely it is that she has a crush on you, rather than just being a flirty or friendly person overall. Here are 47 signs to help tell if a girl likes you.
1. She laughs at your jokes
Laughing at your jokes can be a huge sign of interest (especially if you are not a particularly funny person…) If she smiles and laughs a lot around you, she may have a crush.
If you want to make a girl you like to laugh more, you may like to read this article on how to be funny (for un-funny people).
2. She mirrors you
Mirroring means that her body language, posture, or even what she’s saying reflects what you said or did. So if you take a sip of your glass, if she’s mirroring that, she’ll also take a sip of her glass. Or if you cross your legs and she does the same, that’s also mirroring.
Remember that mirroring is done subconsciously when she has a very good rapport with you. But it can also be done consciously if she wants to impress or bond with you. It’s a great sign either way.
3. She adds you on social media
This one means she wants to stay in touch and is at least a little bit interested in you. It also makes it much easier for you to take initiative by messaging or commenting on her posts.
4. She writes you long texts
Is she always giving you short answers, or is she giving you a small novel as a reply?
If her texts are about the same length or longer than yours, that’s great. It’s especially good if they’re longer than yours.
If you’re usually giving her long replies but not getting the same in return, it means you’re probably too eager. In that case, it’s often good to step back a bit and try to match her better. Give her some space, so she wants to come back to you again.
5. She teases you
Is it mean teasing or more flirty and light-hearted?
Most forms of teasing (even mean) are usually a sign she’s interested in you. I LOVE it when a girl I like tries to tease me. It means she’s trying to create a flirty vibe between you and that she wants a reaction from you. Just don’t take it too seriously and try to have fun with her!
6. She leans in toward you
If she’s leaning in toward you, that’s a sign she’s eager to get your attention or get her message across. And in the best case, it also means she’s eager to get closer to you.
7. She moves closer to you
If you’re in a conversation and you feel like she’s edging closer to you, or as if she’s almost uncomfortably too close to you, that’s a good sign. It could mean she’s attracted to you and wants to feel closer to you both physically and mentally.
Take note that different cultures have different “personal spaces.” So, if she’s from a different culture than you, it might just be because of that.
8. She bites her lips
Biting herself lightly on the lip is a flirty and cute (or sexy) signal. If she’s biting herself in the lip while you’re talking, that’s great. She’s probably into you.
9. She smiles at you
If she’s smiling toward you from afar, that’s an invitation to approach her. Or she’s flirting with you. (I’m assuming you didn’t just forget to put your pants on when leaving home).
If she’s smiling toward you when you’re in a conversation, that’s a sign she likes you. Especially if she has a light smile while you’re not even joking.
10. She licks her lips or teeth
Is she licking her lips or teeth? This is similar to biting her lips, but a bit more subtle and less flirty. Still a good sign she might like you.
11. She’s blinking more than normal
According to Blake Eastman, a body language expert, an increased blink rate can signify attraction[1], so it may be a good sign if you notice that she seems to be blinking more around you.
12. Her pupils are larger than normal
If her pupils get large when you’re in a conversation, you’re doing something right. This one is quite subtle because pupil size is primarily determined by light levels, but secondarily attraction can also increase pupil size.
13. She’s keeping eye contact for longer
If you notice that she’s holding eye contact slightly longer than normal, she’s probably trying to get your attention or make a connection with you. It’s a good sign that she’s interested in you. That kind of eye contact often feels more intense and can even be a bit weird or uncomfortable.
14. She’s gives you a light smile
Say that you’re all standing in a circle, and you two make eye contact when someone else is talking. Does she give you a slight smile? She probably likes you (or is a very kind person, which is also a good sign!)
Same thing if you make eye contact at a distance, in a park, or at a bar. A smile is like an invitation to start talking.
15. She looks at you with open body language
This sign is most useful at a place with some background music, such as a bar or a club.
If she’s moving in rhythm with the background music and at the same time looking at you, that can be a sign she’s attracted to you. Dancing like that and looking at you is an inviting form of body language. That tells you she wants your attention and is trying to get you to make a move.
16. She corrects her posture
Does she straighten her posture when she gets your attention or is close to you? That means she’s trying to make a good impression on you.
On the other hand, a more relaxed posture can mean that she feels comfortable around you, which can also be a good sign.
17. She faces you
If she’s facing you more often than she’s facing others in a group, that’s a sign she’s into you and values you more than others in the group. This is especially telling if you’re not even the one talking the most in the group.
18. Her feet point towards you
If her feet are pointing toward you, that’s a sign in the same line as if her body is facing you. She’s subconsciously focused on you, which makes her feet point toward you. It’s a sign of open body language.
19. She fiddles with or straightens her clothes, jewelry, or accessories
This could be because of nervosity, but it can also be because she wants to look good in front of you. It’s a classic sign of attraction.
20. Her palms are faced in your direction
If the palms of their hands are pointed in your direction, she might be interested in you. It’s a weak signal, but it’s still positive because it’s part of an open and welcoming body language she has toward you.
21. She touches you back
For example, if you touch her arm, does she touch you in a similar area later on in the conversation? If she does reciprocate your touch, that’s a great sign, but it also depends on if she’s touchy with most people or just you.
Keep in mind that shy girls usually don’t touch back because they’re so afraid of messing up.
22. She touches you when you talk
Common areas to touch are arms, shoulders, back, hands, or thighs. Hands or thighs are usually more intimate if she touches those. Some girls aren’t so comfortable with touch, and it takes them a while to warm up. So if she doesn’t touch you, it isn’t necessarily a sign that she doesn’t like you if she shows many other signs on the list.
23. You have “peripheral physical contact”
Peripheral physical contact is when some parts of your body are in contact with each other when you are doing something else.
For example, if you’re both sitting down and your thighs are barely touching each other. Or if you’re walking side by side and she grabs hold of your arm. That kind of passive physical contact means a lot and can build a lot of tension and attraction.
24. She’s giving you more of her attention
For example, if she directs most of her attention when you’re in a group. Or if she’s only asking you questions or if she’s laughing more than others at your jokes.
The more attention she gives you, the more interested she usually is in you.
25. She blushes
Does she blush when you talk or make eye contact? She might be shy, but she’s probably a bit self-conscious around you because she likes you.
26. She looks at you from afar
Girls are often a bit sneaky when they want to check you out. They can make it seem like they’re only looking in your direction or just grazing you with their eyes. I’ve even seen girls using window reflections to check out a guy (and to check if he’s looking at them). Sunglasses are even sneakier.
So if she’s looking in your direction, especially if she does it several times, she’s probably checking you out.
27. She keeps the conversation going
What happens when you stop talking or can’t come up with anything to say? If she seems eager to get the conversation going again, that’s good. If she excuses herself, she may not be that interested.

28. She always replies
Does she always reply when you call or text?
Quicker responses are often a sign of interest. But many girls are so afraid of appearing needy that they delay their response even if they like you.
29. She texts or calls you first
If she’s often the one initiating, that’s a very strong sign she’s into you.
But if she never calls or texts first, that shows a lack of interest. In that case, it can be good to take a step back to see if she will take initiative when you don’t do it before she even has the chance.
30. She texts you often
Compare this to how often you text her. It’s the same principle as matching the length of her texts. She’s eager if she’s texting more often than you, and you’re eager if you’re the one texting more often.
31. She stammers, stutters, or forgets what she was about to say
Does she seem nervous when you guys are having a conversation? This could mean she’s a bit extra shy or self-conscious around you, which tells you that she might also be a bit extra interested in you.
32. She doesn’t back off when you get closer
If she doesn’t even flinch when you get a bit too close to her personal space, that’s a sign she wants you close to her.
If you take a step closer, and she backs off by a step, that’s a sign she’s a bit more reserved toward you.
33. She talks about future plans
Planning or mentioning things they want to do with you in the future strongly indicates some sort of interest, romantic or platonic.
For example, if you’re talking about a newly opened restaurant, they say, “We should go there someday!” or “I’ll show you how amazing that place is!” If you’re talking about art and she wants to share her work, that’s a good sign too.
34. She’s pleased with your commonalities
How does she react when she finds out that you have something in common? If she’s happy, that’s good. This sign is extra strong if it’s something very trivial, like that you live in the same part of town, you’re the same age, or you both like pizza.
35. She asks you personal questions
If she is, that’s telling you that she wants to know more about you and is interested in you. The more she asks, the better.
For example, asking about your plans for the future, your childhood, or just about your favorite food. Asking you questions is literally showing interest in you.
36. She asks about your plans
Asking about your plans for the day or weekend might just be empty small talk, but it could also be her trying to open a window where you can meet again and hang out. It’s more likely it’s a sign of interest if she brings it up near the end of the conversation.
37. She seems embarrassed if you two are the only two people left in a situation
If she does but doesn’t do anything to leave the situation, that means she’s just a bit shy but still interested.
A classic example is if you meet her with her girlfriends at a bar, and then all her friends leave, but she stays. That’s perfect because it also means her friends approve of you.
38. She tells her friends or family about you
This one is most relevant once you’ve already started dating. But it’s such a huge sign of interest (and approval) that I thought it was worth mentioning. It’s even bigger if she’s from a culture where approval from the family is important.
If she’s told her family, it means she is visualizing and planning a future with you. Congrats!
If she just told her friends, that’s also great, but not as big as her family.
39. She offers you a massage
Offering a massage is a nice thing to do, but it’s also a smooth way for a girl to get you both touching each other. (Remember to offer her one back if you like her!)
40. She reschedules when she can’t make a date
Say you were meant to meet up with her, but she cancels. How can you know if she truly couldn’t make it or if she just isn’t interested?
Life happens, and everyone has to change or cancel plans sometimes. If she tries to reschedule when she cancels, it’s a good sign she is interested in you and had to cancel for legitimate reasons.
41. She compliments you
If she gives you positive feedback, it’s a good sign she likes you. While teasing can also be a sign she likes you, some women are more prone to compliment a guy they like, and many do both.
42. She gives you small gifts
Does she pick up things for you or give you gifts or trinkets? That’s a sign that she’s thinking about you and wants to make you feel good. For example, if you’ve mentioned that you have a weakness for pastries, and she shows up with a croissant the next time you meet up, that’s a really good sign that she likes you.
43. She follows up on things you tell her
Remembering that you said you have a test coming up and asking how it went is a sign that she takes you seriously and also that she wants you to know that she listens to you and cares.
44. She lets you know she’s single
Bringing up the fact that she’s single could be a way for her to let you know that she’s available and interested.
45. She asks for your help
Asking for your help can be a way to spend more time with you and establish a connection. It can also be a way for her to check how responsive and helpful you are to get an idea of how you would behave as a romantic partner.
46. She opens up to you
Asking you questions about yourself shows that she’s interested and wants to learn more about you. Sharing things about herself is a sign that she trusts you and wants to get closer to you.
47. She has a nickname for you
Giving you a nickname can be a flirty way to show that she likes you.
Does your best friend have a crush on you?
It can be more difficult to figure out these signs if you’re already friends with someone. If you’re close friends, she probably already texts you, tells you about her life, teases you, spends time with you, and so on. How can you know if it’s just friendship or if there’s more going on?
Is she acting differently from how she usually behaves? If there’s a sudden change in her behavior towards you, it may be a sign that her feelings have changed. On the other hand, if her behavior has changed in all aspects of life, it may have nothing to do with you.
Does she seem jealous or dismissive of other girls you might like? Is she suddenly extra touchy-feely? Is she unusually interested in your interests? These changes may indicate that her feelings towards you are shifting or that she’s trying to work out what she feels.
Those are all signs your best friend might have started liking you as more than a friend.
How do you know for sure if she’s interested?
You can’t know for sure if she’s interested based on a sign on this list. But there are a few rules you can use to help you know:
- Is she regularly showing you different signs of interest?
- Does she act differently to others than to you? (So she’s not just flirty with everyone.)
- Has she shown any particularly strong signs of interest?
The only one to know for sure is to check with her. Let her know you are interested and see if the feeling is mutual.
Are you still unsure if she likes you?

What if we get really close and then she just seemingly forgets me? Like, we get really close and then she gets really distant?

I noticed her looking at me and kinda smiling across the room. Then we started talking face to face sitting down. She kept making the intense eye contact with me. Making excuses to hug me. I sit in her lap. She kept mentioning her hair. She took a pic and posted it on fb a day are so later with a few others of other ppl from that night. She danced on me kept stickn her ass out when I would walk by. So am I in are no. I’m very obviously to stuff like this. But it was that eye contact u can feel u know
So was hanging around a girl for almost a year we got along pretty well a lot in common caught up maybe once a week for drinks and the some fun time as you do. I started to like her a lot but she didn’t won’t to commit so I said good bye and stopped talking to her. About 5months went by and I randomly messaged her she was a little surprised but replied back with in a few hours which surprised me so I invited her to a day festival, went really well like the 5months of us not talking didn’t happen I stayed at her house but nothing happened. So I invited her out for a mid week date kept it casual but fun of course see what the vibe was like, night went well again there was laughter, touching, eye contact then smiling. Then I went to give her kiss and she said she hadn’t changed her mind about us, I said cool and hugged it out and left. Next day she texted me saying “thanks for last night I had a lot of fun was really cool, have great weekend and holiday. We sent a few more texts with jokes and laughter and she seemed pretty happy. She went away for the weekend and that week coming I was going away. Haven’t heard from her and I haven’t texted her!! What you reckon people??

my female colleague started with a crush on me by telling her friends that she found me fascinating and a sweet heart. some time passed and now she said that a major date would make her uncomfortable. however, she still wants me to work with her at school. it seems we moved from colleagues to friends to dating and back again. this woman is 52 years old, 2 children, divorced for 14 years. our first date she used most of the above signs. I covered her classes while she was undergoing surgery. The problem this is a middle school. Parents, teaches, and kids want to play cupid. I would like to get back on the right track. some people said that i should remain the gentlemen and help her as needed. She is an art teacher and i am a science teacher. She is electric , smart, full of life. How can I reduce her level of feeling uncomfortable without becoming natty. We AE both mature adults. We have a firm foundation in who were are. I wonder has she become uncomfortable if she opens that door and it scare the crap out of her

I stutter alot but the girl i like i stutter towards her too how do i stop this
So I had this girl who recently was working with me on a project for about 8 months now. Recently going through family issues and she was really supportive of me, often telling me to stay positive. We only hanged out alone once but she was quite friendly and stuck quite close to my personal space as well. She kept hanging around my side during group work and often laugh at my snide remarks or just a casual comment when I wasn’t the most talking one in the group. I just find her eyes twinkle abit at times when both of our visions collide. I’m not really sure myself, but is it possible?
She touches my shoulders,hands
She seats too close to me
She smiles at me
She likes being playful
She likes a shaming me
Defends me
Shes the first to type gudnyt in the chatting
There’s this girl. When I talk to her, she is facing towards me. I do see her smile in conversations. But one time she asked me to give her signs on a boy liking her and implied it was me. She usually seems happy when talking to me. I haven’t seen her act the way she does around other guys. I asked her to hangout once and she said yes. She brought a friend but she said she was fine if it was just her and I. When I was hanging out with them, a girl I know passed by and I told them that I knew them. The girl asked me if I like her, I said no and she said she would have been excited. Her pupils are slightly larger when talking to me. Oh and when we met she asked for my Instagram.
I don’t know wether my girl likes me or not because she don’t often call me and I think she don’t likes me.she is not caring too.
I have a similar situacion in my job. This girl always bothering me touching me. Smiles at me she dances she sings at me and looks at me. I keep my distance cause i know she has a boyfriend. But her smile her personality and she makes me smile with her clowness.She said why you looking at me i got a boyfriend.The problem now is everytime i see her i feel diferent.I see her with other eyes but she has a boyfriend.Oh boy i am in trouble. Someone advice me.
Thank you so much eat really help because I think a girl likes me and I want to know if she does like me. And those answers help me out a lot. Thank you so much I might actually find the love of my life.
There was this girl today. She randomly said hi to me and asked how things were going. Me and her barely know each other so I don’t get if she was doing it just to be nice or what? Technically she did walk with me to the bus for like a minute.
There’s this girl who’s naturally a people person, and she’s quite friendly with everyone. Whenever possible, she may lean on me if she’s sitting next to me or even put her head in my lap. I can’t tell if she simply sees me as a very close friend or something more than that. Help?
It’s a very affectionate signal. Unless you have some kind of brother/sister or father/daughter-dynamic, I’d say she’s romantically interested to some degree. But I need more details about your relationship and her behavior around you to tell for sure. Also if she does the same to anyone else.
She likes you, ask her out.
I work with this girl and i rewlly like her. But im lost and confused . i heard she doesnt like the type to try hard i had a friend ( girl ) talk to her and basically got to the point of her telling her i liked her and we all work together . well the next day we didnt talk for 2 work days and some …. And also she kinda said i was making her ” uncomfortable ” i guess well today at work we talked and laugh alot and she kept touching me calling my name even when their was many other workers. Im just confused how she goes from that to touching and talking an laughing alot with me . then she finds me on fb and adds me the same day . i really like her and i wish i had the answers.
I also forgot to say is that also when we text or call she will ask if got home safe, to drive safe or she would tell me hey there are cops here so be safe. Also she will text at random to go with her to get a drink from Quick Trip witch is a gas station if you aren’t from the Midwest.
There is a girl that I like but don’t know if she likes me cause she does have a boyfriend and kid with him. But there are something she does I can’t tell what is trying to get at. Like she call me first basically ever day around the same time asking me what am I doing, are you hungry, you can come over if you want, or ask me if I want to go like the store with her. Cause I know she does not like to drive places alone. Also we almost text everyday and it goes back and fourth on who texts first. Are family and friends are always making jokes that we are dating cause we are almost always together 24 hours of the day. She also told me about her past and her family, her dreams that’s she wants to do. And she knows my dreams and always tells me to go for it and I tell her the same with her dreams. We also have meaning conversations. But at the same time she tells me stuff about her boyfriend and ex’s on what they did that made her mad and others like the things she like about them. And she also she I pay more attention to her then her actual boyfriend. But the big problem is the girl I like is my best friend girlfriend. So lastly I don’t know if she is just using me to babysit her kid or if she actual likes me. So could use all the help I can get.
I got this lady she constantly holds my minds for so much long time each time we both shake hands.she even invited me to her place of work for a visit, but I know she likes me but I am still unsure if she wants a relationship with me because she’s married.she replies my text as soon as she sees it. But if I don’t call or text her she wouldn’t call me back neither. But whenever we meet she starts complaining that I don’t have time for her.i am confused I don’t know what’s she’s doing because whenever she gives me a hand shake I can feel the way she holds on to my hand for a long time.
I go to college and there is this girl that I like. I caught her staring at me 3 times, the last 2 times she immediately looked away. And when I was signing up for classes, she had a friend with her, they made it very obvious that they were both talking about me, and even giggled (we sat on the same table and she was right in front of me) She even offered to help me out by asking if I needed help.
I never approach women, even the ones I find very attractive. People say I’m good looking, dress well and have a great sens of humour, etc., but since I don’t see any of those traits in myself, I’ve always felt thar since women choose from among guys, there’s no way any woman would ever choose me.
I’ve always felt the same way.
Hi Viktor. I have a girl I like and she teases me sometimes and some other stuff but I am not sure if she likes me or not. I also don’t want to tell her I like her because I feel not ready. I think that my sister likes someone because she always brings him up and my friend too. How can I find out if she really likes me and how can I tell her?
My friend was chatting to the girl in question, when my name was mentioned she apparently blushed and smiled. Is this a good sign?
That’s a great sign! But kind of hard to say anything for certain without any more info about your relationship and other signs she’s shown.
I am not sure if she likes me
She clutches the chair tightly when she sits opposite me but she patiently listens to me
Her eyes get teary when I say I feel for her and then in the end she says she does not feel the same
She tells me she does not have interest in me but spend hours listening to me
She fights with me often or does small things to irritate me
She gets angry with me but after a period time has an out burst
Hi Viktor, I forgot to tell you that another day I was at a traffic light stopped and I saw through a glass that she stood behind me, but did not approach, when the traffic light opened I continued, but later I stopped to cross, and I saw her following me. Another day I went to work and she saw me on the other side of the street, and accelerated the passage to prevent me from reaching her. Upon entering work, I told her to wait, I wanted to talk to her, and she accelerated and said: I can’t now, I have to talk to I don’t know who.
That’s a bad sign, she might not be interested in you the way you think. But she might also just have been very busy that day.
If it was you on the comments below (please use a name/pseudonym so I can identify your comments), she sounds like she was flirting with you before. But maybe she lost interest in you for one reason or another? Unless this incident was just a one-off and she’s back to her normal flirtiness.
