Are girls and women mysterious? I don’t think we are. We want pretty much the same things guys want, only not as much beer.
But guys always want to know: how can you tell if a girl likes you? Here are some sure-fire ways how to tell if a girls likes you:
1. She makes eye contact.
If she’s looking at you, in the eyes, then she’s at least interested in getting your attention. If she smiles when she’s making eye contact, that’s even better.
2. She flips her hair, or plays with her hair.
If a girl likes you, she’ll do the hair-flip thing, or play with her hair by twirling it around her fingers, brushing it back with her hands. That sort of thing. I don’t know why we do this when we’re flirting or tying to get a guy’s attention, but we do!
3. She looks good all the time.
If she dresses up or wears make-up every time you see her, no matter where or when, then she might be trying to impress you. For instance, if all the other girls in your English Comp class show up in sweats and hoodies, and she’s looking a lot better than that, you have to ask why, right?
4. She smiles at you, then lowers her eyes.
If you catch her smiling at you, then she lowers her eyes or looks away when you smile back, she may be trying to flirt, but is a little shy.
5. She asks questions.
If she asks you a lot of questions, rather than always talking about herself, she’s interested. Why else would she want to know?
6. She brings you little gifts.
If she brings you a little gift or a little note, even if it’s something small, like candy, then she likes you, for sure!


Wow… Those things describe me to a T! Well, not #8 (my friends haven’t met the guy I like yet) and #11 (I’d feel way too forward and stalker-ish). My question is do guys actually pick up on those things? I’m a little bit shy, so I try to push myself into being brave with my flirting by sometimes touching his arm when we’re talking. The rest of it, like remembering what he’s said in past conversations, comes naturally. I’m interested in him, so I’m paying attention! ;) I think he’s fairly into me too. Last week, he walked me to my next class, which was 10 minutes away in the pouring rain without an umbrella (we’re in 2nd year university)! I thought that was pretty sweet and guys don’t usually do stuff like that unless they like the girl, right? He’s shy too, so I don’t want to push him, but hopefully things will keep progressing. :)
Hey Lauren,
I don’t know if ALL guys pick up on these things, but sounds like the one you like is definitely picking up on it :D
I guess it all comes down to whether he likes you too or not. If he does, he’s going to respond. If he doesn’t, he won’t. You sound like you’re on the right track. And that was so sweet him walking to your class in the rain :)
Keep us posted on how it works out!
I should send this to all the guys I like!
It’s too bad most guys can’t pick up on those little hitns we send out! We’re not THAT complex and our games aren’t that crazy…

so i like this guy but he has a gf and he says that he isnt gunna put up with her too much longer, he asked me to shower with him and then he told me that when he comes over to my house that its for me and all hes worried about is making me happy, what does it mean?
Extreamly nice post!!
Guys pleasee read this and learn how to please us!
Some of our signs are so obvious but some guys are totally bling or deaf!!
I totally agree with you Amy!!
Lauren,
Keep going in that direction with this guy cause from what you said he seems really into you!
As he’s so shy keep things relax and see what happens. Don’t push but send lots of signs! One of these days one of you won’t resist any more and will move forward!! We’ll see who it will be. Keep us posted and Good luck with him love :)
I need some advice. There’s this girl that I’m really into and I’m not sure how she feels about me. Like certain days I think she likes me then other days I feel like she’s avoiding me. And everytime I’m around her she’s always playing with her hair she always makes eye contact with me and she goes out of her way to make sure I say hi to her in the hallways at skool. But like one time she called me and asked me if I wanted to hang out that night but when she picked me up she had a car full of other people. Then the next day she texted me and said sorry about last night do you want to hang out tonight JUST US TWO but when she picked me up same thing car full of people. I would just tell her how I feel but me and her are really good friends and I don’t want to ruin our friendship. Please help
I wonder how many guys read this post. :) I have to say that the part where you see her everywhere is so lame. I know that some girls usually do this, but is so childish really. Never done it, never will :)
okay i’m 17 and the guy i like is 17 also. we have know each other since we were 7. we are both incredibly shy. we haven’t talked much recently b/c it is always akward. his sister has told me that he likes me without him knowing that she told me. well i like him to but am way to shy to tell him. i am usually the one to say something first, and whenever i do he smiles like crazy how can i get him to realize that i like him too without actually telling him.
Hey, randomly stumbled across this blog, looking for some insight into the way some women think (surprised it’s mostly similar!). I’m a 23 yr old single guy and i thought #7 was a bit extreme. Changing your likes or dislikes for someone you have a crush on isn’t a healthy sign imo, unless you genuinely begin to like the subject in question. For me that would just be a sign of weak character. I could see it being used as a turn-on in the bedroom, if you wore a hockey jersey of his fav team a month or more into a relationship. A lot of guys find girls in over-sized hockey jerseys very sexy ;)
Tavia,
I agree with you on that one :)
Hey Loomisfan,
Yeah what is it about guys liking girls in over-sized jerseys/tees. Not that I’m complaining. I find it very comfortable! :)
Anyway coming back to your point, I don’t think your “changing your likes or dislikes” just because you do little stuff here and there to show him that you like him. I mean little stuff that’s not going to harm you is cute. Now a bigger decision like say giving up meat for someone you just met….that’s scary!
Hey Shygirl,
Awww that’s so cute. Well he obviously likes you so that’s that. It sucks that you’re both so shy. Anyway, I found these posts on our site that’ll help you for sure!

I really hope your cute ‘lil love story works out! Keep us posted hun :)
Ha ha ha Tavia! I hate to admit this but I have done it in the past…. Lol…
Ash,
I’m trying to put myself in her shoes for a moment and think. Is she just pulling your leg by making you think that maybe she likes you when she doesn’t. I hope it’s not a mean joke. Maybe she’s just not completelty sure yet. Know what I mean?
Anyway, if it happens again, I think you should ask her why she says one thing and does the opposite. Don’t say it rudely. Just put it across as a curious question.
Good luck! :)
Hey Angel,
Honestly, sounds to me like he’s playing you. And you’re falling for it! Stay away from him even if it’s the hardest thing to do!
Yeah I know what ur saying. So do you think I should tell her how I feel about her or should I wait a little longer. See my biggest fear is not that she does not like me it’s that if she doesn’t like me I don’t want her to feel weird around me cause like I said we are pretty good friends and I don’t want to ruin that.
Loomisfan,
To change your likings or dislikings for a guy is not helthy, so far I agree with you. But depends on what you change for the person. For example I hate footbal matches. And I’m not going to watch them cause my boy totally adores fotball. But you have to compromise, always give and take. We watch a totally romantic movie which he hates, bt tried to make it nice for me. I give a little by showing a fotball match with him and try to engoy it.
It’s really a big effort, but at least I try!
In a realtion ship you have to change some likings, to a certain extent, just so you get aong better! But never give up on what you like most for a guy!!
shygirllikesshyboy,
I think if you do actually tell him you like him is not a crime!
You really should boost up your self coinfidence and try to make the first step, knowing that he won’t refuse you cause your sister already confirmed that he likes you too!
Come on girl, courage!!
Your love story seems so cute if you try to make it begin! Make some effort and send him some signs that actually would send a very direct message if you’re so shy to speak up your mind!!
Good luck love and keep us posted on how it goes!!
Ash,
Well I know how it feels ‘cause I once had an experience samely to yours.
To tell you the truth this girl really likes you in my opinion. She told you she wanted to go out with you alone even if it didn’t happen. Maybe she’s so surrounded with people that everyone hangs with her when she goes out. And if you’re not going to make up some courage and tell her how you feel this thing is going to continue to happen cause for her it’s the same to you with or without people.
You have a good start with her cause she showed you she wanted to go out alone, so take my advise send her a message maybe something like… ‘Hey, you want to hang out alone tonight, only me and you, not like last times, :P so I get to know you better than friends, if you want ;)’
Try something like this. Maybe you get to remain in the same situation.. just friends, and maybe you gain something.. a beginning of a relationship with a girl you like.
Good luck and keep us posted!!!! :D
