Knowing if a girl likes you can be like trying to solve the riddle of the Sphinx. Thankfully, wikiHow is here to help you figure out if the person you have a weakness for reciprocates your feelings. All you will need is a bit of observation and a dose of courage.
Steps
Step 1. If you are looking at her and you notice that she returns your gaze, smile at her
Girls like it when guys make the first move. Look into her eyes for just a second, then she hints at a smile. Warning: that it is not a grin, it is not the same thing! If she likes you, she'll smile at you too. If she doesn't like you, she might give you a dirty look or look away. In some situations, girls just hint at a smile. Smile with your eyes, but also make sure you have white teeth and good breath. Don't smile at her if she doesn't even know who you are. Try us only if you already know each other.
Step 2. Start the conversation
As mentioned in the previous step, girls appreciate guys who make the first move. Start with something as simple as "Hey, how was your weekend?" or if the week is running out, tell her "Hey, do you have any plans for the weekend?". If she likes you, she will try to prolong the conversation by asking you questions as well, and you will be able to become part of her life. If she mumbles something like "All right" and then goes back to ignoring you, she's probably not interested.
Step 3. Become his friend
This is essential before proceeding with the next steps. You need to befriend her before taking the next steps. So, try to become a good friend of his! Find out what kind of music she likes, her favorite TV show, her favorite actor - that kind of stuff there. If she likes you, you can use this information to start a conversation and she will also ask you what your favorites are. If she doesn't like you, the conversation will feel more like an interview. It won't be ideal to sit there asking her these questions while she answers you in monosyllables. If that happens, stop the "conversation" right away.
Step 4. Do the "waist test"
Warning: only try it if you are really good friends! Make sure you are familiar enough with her before you do this or she will backfire on you! Try to sneak up on her behind her and GENTLY grab her waist. Don't pinch her or anything, just put your hands around her waist and leave them there. She might freak out at this point: remember that she suddenly felt touched from behind! If she bounces or starts screaming and then turns around, tell her, "It's just me!" and then smile. Do not laugh. Keep your hands on his waist. If she likes you, she will smile at you or giggle a little, then turn around again. Your hands should still be on his waist. Try to notice if she tries to lean on you. If it does, tighten it a little bit, but then let it go. If she isn't interested, she'll probably just smile and walk away. If you are not familiar with her, she will probably ask you why you are doing this and how are you going to explain it to her?
Step 5. Try the "hug test"
Note: Proceed with this attempt only if you have been successful with the "waist test". Go to her and hug her for no apparent reason. Make sure you hug her softly, not like you would one of your male friends. Place your hands on her upper back (keep your hands away from the bra!) And make circular motions with your hands. If she is interested, she will return your hug. Check if she has rested her chin on your shoulder. If he did, there is chemistry between you. Rest your chin on his shoulder and bow your head slightly so that it looks like you are looking at the ground. If she doesn't return your hug and walks away, it means she's not interested.
Step 6. If you are lucky enough to be in class with her, try to hold her hand
But try to do it as casually as possible. Make sure her hand is not resting on the counter and that she is holding it in the chair. If she is right-handed, sit on her left. If she is left handed, sit on her right. Slowly move your hand towards her and touch her wrist. She might jump a bit at first, but remember this girl might like you. If she doesn't pull back, move your hand from her wrist and touch her hand. Try to slowly slide your fingers through hers. If she likes you, she will return the squeeze. If so, try to stay hand in hand with her throughout the lesson.
Step 7. Don't flirt with other girls to see what her reaction is
If this girl actually likes you, seeing you flirt with someone else will only make her feel like a fool. She doesn't know you're doing it to see her reaction; he would think you do it because you have a crush on the other.
Step 8. If he has a lock of hair on his face, move it behind his ear
In case she was interested, she would smile at you, otherwise she would walk away.
Step 9. If you have to hand her something, check to see if she tries to touch your hand before taking it
Step 10. Playing with her hair, rubbing her lips or looking at her nails is a sign that she is nervous
This means that she is interested in you.
Step 11. Try to notice if she looks you in the eye as she talks to you
If she doesn't, it could mean she's nervous, doesn't look people in the eye, or doesn't like you.
Step 12. Get a nice haircut
Girls usually like spiky hair.
Step 13. Take a shower
Try to keep yourself clean and always use deodorant after washing.
Advice
- Think about personal hygiene. No girl likes a guy who stinks.
- Be yourself!
- Get to know her better before asking her out. Even if you have to stay in the "friend zone" for a while, it will be worth it in the end.
- Dress well. Don't overdo it though.
- When you talk to her, check her pupils. It has been proven that if the pupils are larger, it means that your interlocutor is interested in you.
