<p>Just as the title of this thread suggests, yes I would really like to know if one is imagining things or it's the real deal. Comments from girls would be especially helpful.</p>
<p>If she's excited to talk to you, if she has dropped hints to your friends, etc.</p>
<p>If you ask her out and she says yes.</p>
<p>Girls are different and have different ways of showing interest, but most girls I know will hold themselves up straighter, arch their backs more, and lift their shoulders just slightly. Both men and women do that last one-- apparently it says "I'm harmless, don't I look cute?" Another sign is the eye-mouth-eye triangle. If she looks at your face, with her gaze dropping from your eyes to your mouth and back to your eyes, that's a pretty good sign. More overt signals: tickling you, laughing at your really stupid jokes, putting a hand on your shoulder or arm, and synchronizing movements with you while you're talking.</p>
<p>But seriously. Don't try to deduce it. Flirt, drop big hints, and if she responds in kind, just ask outright. Because otherwise it might turn into a game of cat-and-mouse for several weeks until somebody finally finds the balls to ask the other one out.</p>
<p>^that's only a certain kind of girl. doesn't hold true for most girls I know.</p>
<p>^ That's cause girls aren't all the same. Which I should have emphasized more. Which is why he should just ask her!</p>
<p>Lol exactly</p>
<p>Hm...i agree with the really excited to talk to you part. You can ask her friends because they will definitely know. A girl always tells her best friend everything.</p>
<p>^Hmm...depends on the girl. I refuse to tell any girls I know--some girls are naturally shy.
I'd say go to mutual friends, not her friends.</p>
<p>Ask. If she says yes, you'll be glad you did. If she says no, then you'll won't waste time thinking about her when she's not interested.</p>
<p>Use your intuition. If you think they don't like you, they probably don't. If you think they do.... well, then you could be imagining things because it means you are interested.</p>
<p>In which case, do as the girls above suggested and ask.</p>
<p>JUST ASK HER OUT. Do everyone a favor and spread the word. Ask her out. She won't bite you.</p>
<p>if she's responsive to you go for it. also, yeah, i don't tell my friends the guys i like either.</p>
<p>yea dude just ask. it's hard for the first 60 seconds but it's worth it.</p>
<p>if you dont want to take the bold approach (which is my first suggestion), ask mutual friends. preferably girls... they will probably know.</p>
<p>this thread is dumb. any guy (i am a guy) knows you cannot figure out girls.</p>

How do you know if a girl likes you?

You don't!</p>
<p>But yeah, last time I liked a guy I pretty much told everyone but the guy.
Meaning he gave me icy stares for the rest of the year, then somehow became mysteriously nicer when I told everyone I wasn't into him anymore :D</p>
<p>well be cautious, cause some girls flirt with like EVERY cute guy they see so if they're flirting with you, but you notice her acting really friendly with ten other guys, my advice is to just drop it. on the other hand, as long as she's nice to you (and obviously ur nice to her) and she smiles at you, and makes some sort of effort to be with you (she'll walk over deliberately to talk to you etc) then definately ask her out. Now remember that there's always the exception of the shy type that could show none of these signs but still like you, you just never know who these ppl are ;) </p>
<p>hopefully this helped</p>
<p>actually, i changed my mind. you can't figure it out from the way she talks to you, treats you, or acts around you. or what she tells her friends, or your friends. girls make up stuff, and lie, and try to hide and cover it up, and give contradictory messages. the only way to know is to ask her outright.</p>
<p>all girls are different</p>
<p>some that talk to u a lot like u a lot</p>
<p>others that talk to u a lot don't really like u, but r just flirty.</p>
<p>if u think u are confident enough then ask her out.</p>
<p>"the only way to know is to ask her outright."</p>
<p>And THAT's the only accurate information on this board =)</p>
