21 surprising hidden signs a girl likes you (the only list you’ll need)

Do you sometimes find it hard to tell if a girl likes you?

Do you feel like you can’t get her to speak out, or that she just doesn’t seem as interested in you as she might once have been?

If you’re looking for a little bit of love in your life, it might be helpful to start looking for hidden signs.

The truth is, many things can help you determine if someone is interested in you, and some of those things might surprise you.

So, if these threads of doubt are holding you back, read on for 21 surprising signs a girl likes you.

These clues will help you figure out if the girl you see in your dreams is really into you.

1) She enjoys having long conversations with you

You might be surprised to know that the girl you want to talk to is actually into talking to you.

Have you ever noticed a girl who’s quiet during the day starts to open up to you later?

Especially if you’re out at a bar, sitting and talking in your house, or just hanging out with her friends.

If she knows and respects your space, she might act shy toward you at first. But once the initial awkwardness passes, she might start telling you all the bizarre details about herself -anything from what she ate for breakfast to where someone just died.

When she is around you, she tends to find more and more ways to talk about herself. She doesn’t mind listening either. In fact, she loves it!

And guess what it means?

That’s definitely a sign that she secretly likes you.

2) She looks at you differently when you’re around

Think about this for a moment.

Would you say that the girl you want is one of those girls who look at you differently when you’re not around?

If so, then there’s a good chance she’s interested in you.

Maybe she smiles at you more and pays extra attention to your looks and personality. Maybe she finds herself thinking about your hands or facial features as much as possible.  Maybe her eyes follow yours around the room, trying to lock onto yours.

In short, she might find herself looking at you in a whole different way when you’re not around. And why wouldn’t she? After all, that’s the sign of someone who finds you interesting.

It’s not just because she can’t get enough of your energy. It’s because she notices something else about you that makes her feel special when she sees you.

And what is it that she sees in you?

Maybe she sees your confidence. Maybe she sees your sense of humor. Or maybe she notices something else about you that sets her off.

Whatever it is, if a girl really likes you, she will often look at you in a different way when you are around than when she is not.

Remember: there’s a good chance the girl you want will look at you differently when you’re not around.

3) She gets nervous around you

Have you noticed that she gets nervous around you for no reason?

Then congratulations, because that’s another sure sign that she likes you! Why?

Because it means she’s excited about you. She’s on the edge of her seat.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, it is much easier to make a girl feel good around you than it is to make her feel bad.

Women are very sensitive creatures, and they will often react strongly when you’re around them.

They will often get nervous and excited. They’ll start sweating, stuttering, blushing, and smiling more than usual.

And when this happens, she’s not only feeling good because of who you are… she’s also feeling good because of the way you’ve made her feel.

So if she’s feeling nervous around you? Then it’s likely that she finds you interesting too.  And if that’s the case, then there’s a good chance she likes you and wants to stay in touch with you.

4) She wants to get to know you better

When you’re around a girl, she will often want to get to know you better. She will often want to talk with you, get to know your interests, and find out more about who you are.

But what’s the best way for her to do this?

Well, it depends on her personality. But in general, the best way is to have a conversation with her and get to know her better.

And when she wants to get closer to you?

It’s usually because he’s interesting enough for her that she wants to learn more about you.

5) She plays hard to get, but really doesn’t

The most obvious example of this is a girl who plays with your emotions.

You know the type– she breaks an engagement, or picks fights with you, tilting you off balance a little bit.

She knows that these things will affect you― those feelings of confusion make it harder for you to think clearly and harder for you to act on instinct.

Does this sound familiar?

Playing these games leaves you confused because the ploys of the game show do become obvious once she has laid them out for you in such an honest and direct fashion.

But when a woman does this, she’s not playing games. She’s not trying to confuse you.

She’s just trying to get you to see her as an attractive and interesting person. She wants you to like her and want to talk with her more than anything else in the world.

6) She gives you compliments when you’re around

Let me tell you a secret.

Women are creatures of habit, and they don’t like change.

So if you show up at a party, and the girl is standing right in front of you, she’ll probably give you a compliment. That is because she knows that this is how she likes things to be.

But after a while, she might start giving more and more compliments, and they will have a tone that’s different from the usual “nice” or “pretty” comments people give each other all the time.

These are the sorts of compliments that show up over time like clockwork: “You look really nice today,” “You look so much better than the last time I saw you,” “I love the way you’re dressed today,” and so on.

When a girl gives compliments like this, it’s like she’s saying, “Hey, I’m not just giving you a compliment because I want to be nice. This is how I actually feel about you.

This is what women do when they find a guy attractive. They start to act differently around him. It’s as if they are saying to themselves: “Wow! He’s really attractive! He must have some great qualities.”

Of course, many other girls will also give compliments to men they’re attracted to. But the type of compliment that comes naturally to a woman after she’s been around you for a while is different, and it comes across like this: “This guy is attractive.” I like that he likes me. ”

As a result, she will start to act differently around you. She might be more flirtatious or attentive, and she will become closer

7) She looks at your hands when you’re not looking  at her

I know. This sounds a bit strange, but actually, it’s the truth.

If a girl is looking at your hands, she’s doing it because she wants to be noticed by you.

But if she’s looking at your hands, then there is a good chance that she’s also looking at something else.

And that something else is probably you.

In fact, it’s even more likely to be you than when she’s not looking at your hands.

Because her eyes are on your hands and not on her surroundings, there’s a good chance that she will look up again in the near future.  And if you’re standing close enough to her, then when she does look up again, chances are that she’ll see you staring back at her with a smile on your face.

So why am I saying this?

This is a very simple, but very powerful way to tell if a girl is attracted to you. Why?

Because when a woman looks at your hands, she’s not just looking at the palms of your hands. She’s also looking at the backs of your hands, the backs of your arms, and so on.

And when a girl looks at your hands, that means she’s looking at you.

So if she’s looking at your hands and you’re standing close enough to her, it’s a good bet that she wants to be closer to you.

8) She looks away from you when she’s talking to you

And again, simple gestures like this can tell you a lot.

In fact, they can tell you more than you might think.

For example, if a girl is looking away from you when she’s talking to you, it’s very likely that she’s not interested in what you have to say.

And also, if she’s looking away from you, then there is a good chance that she’s nervous. And what does being nervous mean?

As I already said, it means that she likes you.

9) She’ll ask you to do things with her, even when she doesn’t need your help

This is a fairly obvious one, but it’s also important to mention.

It’s very common for girls to ask guys for things when they don’t really need their help.

For example, a girl will say: “Can you just drive me home?”  Or “Can you just walk my dog for me?”

So what does this mean?

Well, for one thing, it means that if the girl doesn’t need your help, then she’s probably going to give you something in return.

Maybe she wants to be seen with you, or maybe she wants to make sure that nobody else is around before she tells you something important.

But what it usually means is that she wants to make sure that you’re interested in her.

And if you are, then chances are that she’ll want you to do things with her, even if she doesn’t need your help.

So the next time a girl asks you to do something, don’t just agree to it.  Instead, ask her why she’s asking you and if there’s any way that you can help her out in return.  Why?

Because if you can disagree with her, you’re much more likely to attract the right type of woman for you.

10) She flirts with you

Did you know that women enjoy flirting too?

Well, actually that’s another sign that they like you. And guess what?

If you notice that she flirts with you, this is a very important point.

There are lots of guys who think that women do not flirt. But this is just not true.

Women flirt with each other all the time, and they flirt with men all the time, too.  –  In fact, women do it so much that no man has ever been able to figure out their “flirt code.”

They just know how to talk to each other. If you want your girl to start flirting with you, then keep these tricks in mind:

  • She’ll look at your lips when she talks to you.
  • She’ll look into your eyes when she talks to you.
  • She’ll touch your arm while speaking with you.

In either case, that’s for sure that she’s flirting with you and she wants to attract you!

11) She notices differences in the way you look

It’s nothing new that women notice physical differences between the men they’re attracted to and the ones they’re not.

But if she notices you in a way that you didn’t notice yourself, then there’s a chance that she’s really into you.

For example, if she notices that your shirt is untucked or your hair is messy or something like that, then there’s definitely something going on.

And if she doesn’t stop noticing these things after you tell her how you feel about them (you can say this by smiling and saying “I love it! “), chances are she will too.

12) She’s late for the date

This is one of the most common signs that a girl is into you.

If a girl has to be late for a date, then she is most likely very excited to see you again.

The same goes for her being early. If a girl is early, then she’s probably getting ready in some way or other, and that means she’s really excited to see you too.

You don’t have to be perfect at this. All you have to do is make sure that she’s there when you arrive, and that she lets you take her hand when she does so (if it seems like she doesn’t want to hold hands with you).

So, the next time you decide to meet a girl for a date, you might want to make sure she’s on time.

13) She makes an effort to get to know you better each time she sees you

Girls who are interested in you will make an effort to get to know you better each time they see you.

How’s that?

Well, the first time they see you, they might play hard to get, but after a while, they will make an effort to get to know you better.

The reason they do this is that they want to find out more about you and what makes you tick.

What it means is that if a girl doesn’t make an effort, chances are she’s not interested in you at all.

So if she makes an effort to get to know you better each time she sees you, it means that she’s interested in getting to know you more.

And that’s a good thing.  It means she really likes the way you look and wants to be friends with you.  In fact, it means she wants more than that too!

14) She wants to be with you all the time

This is one of the most important signs that a girl is into you.

If she wants to be with you all the time, then there’s a good chance she actually likes spending time with you.

And if she likes spending time with someone, then there’s a good chance that she really likes him/her too.

Want to see how it works right now?

Well, dedicating all your time to someone else is a good way to show them how much you like them.

And before you move on, just ask yourself this question:

Do you also want to be with her all the time?

If your answer is positive, then this relationship is probably right for both of you.

15) She sends you messages that are meaningful

You know how some girls send you messages that are just long and full of emojis?

Well, this doesn’t mean anything.  It’s just a way to show they like you, but it doesn’t mean they’re actually into you.

But if she sends you meaningful messages (she would only do that if she likes you), then there’s a chance she really likes you.

The best example of this is if she sends you a message saying: “I miss your smile” or “you look awesome today”.  Or something like this.

And if she does this, then chances are she’s into you.

16) She makes you feel special

If a girl makes you feel special, then there’s a good chance that she likes you too.

Because if she doesn’t, why would she bother to do that?

And if she doesn’t do that, then she’s not interested in you.

It’s true. It works like magic. If a girl makes you feel special and happy, then there’s a good chance she likes you.

Just think about it. She tries to make you feel special because she wants to get to know you better and be friends with you.  And the best way to do that is by making sure that the other person feels special.

This means she will go out of her way to make sure you’re happy, and that’s a very good thing.

17) She starts sharing personal details about herself with you

Does she tell you about her life and the things she likes to do?

If so, then there’s a good chance she likes you.

Because if she doesn’t want to tell you about her life, then why would she start doing that?

Let me explain.

If a girl is interested in you, she will tell you stuff about herself.

She will tell you things like where she’s from, or what she likes or doesn’t like, or what she’s studying right now.

And if she talks about her life with you, then there’s a good chance that she likes spending time with you too.

So, remember: if she shares this kind of information with you, then there’s a good chance that there’s something going on between the two of you.

18) She asks for your number and wants to stay in touch with you after the date is over

Admit it.

Was she the one who asked for your number after your first date?

If she did, then there’s a good chance she likes you.

Because if she doesn’t, why would she want to stay in touch with you after the date?

Because if she didn’t want to stay in touch with you, then why would she bother asking for your number in the first place?

There’s a very simple explanation for this: if a girl asks for your number and wants to stay in touch with you after the date is over, then there’s a good chance that she likes you.

So, why is this so important?

The truth is, having your number allows her to stay in contact with you.

And when a girl likes you and wants to stay in touch with you, that’s a very good thing.

You see? You’re doing it right!

19) She’s curious about your personal life and asks you questions about your life

  • Does she ask you questions about your family?
  • Does she ask you what your parents do for a living, or how old you are?

If so, then there’s a good chance she likes you.

Because if she doesn’t care about your personal life at all, then why would she want to know more about it?

The truth is, if a girl is interested in getting to know you better, then she will want to know more about your personal life.   And the best way to get to know someone better is by getting to know their personal life.

So if a girl is interested in getting to know you better and wants to know more about your personal life, then there’s a good chance that she likes you.

20) She reacts to your body language and looks at you when you talk to her

Does she look at you when you talk to her?

Does she stare into your eyes when you’re talking to her?

Believe it or not, these things are important.

I know this sounds silly and you might think that these things don’t matter, but they do.

Because if a girl looks at you when you’re talking to her and stares into your eyes, then there’s a good chance that she likes you.

The truth is, if a girl is interested in getting to know you better and wants to get to know more about your personal life, then she will want to look at what’s important to you.   And the best way to do that is by looking at how you interact with other people.

21) She’s jealous of other girls around you

Let me take a wild guess.

She’s curious about all the other girls you’re communicating with and wants to know more about their personal lives.

And the best way for a girl to get to know more about other girls is by being jealous of them.

But why is she jealous of girls you don’t even care about?

The answer is simple and straightforward: she craves all your attention because she secretly adores you!

Take matter into your own hands

The bottom line is that if a girl likes you, chances are high that she’ll send you special signals to let you know she’s interested in you.

This all relates back to the incredible advice I learned from Kate Spring.

She is a relationship expert who has transformed dating and relationships for thousands of men.

One of the most valuable things she teaches is this:

Women don’t choose the guy who will treat them the best. They choose guys they are deeply attracted to at a biological level.

Women don’t like assholes because they’re assholes. They like assholes because those guys are confident and they give off the right signals to them. The sort of signals a woman can’t resist.

What if I told you that you could quickly learn the right signals to give to women – and you absolutely don’t need to become an asshole in the process?
