They may also be scared that by confessing their feelings to you, they’ve messed things up forever. Let’s face it—getting “friend-zoned” is hard!

If you are having an intense conversation, a girl may look at you without breaking eye contact. This does not necessarily mean she likes you.

We’re not as embarrassed online and we tend to be more forward, so if they’re engaging with you on social media (even simple “likes” on your photos) then that’s a good sign that they like you. “Every day, we are constantly mirroring—with our facial expressions, with our body language, even with our breathing and heart rates—people who we like. – A huge sign that she likes you is if you’re in a group, she says something and looks to you first for your reaction.

We did talk at school to because we had all the same classes and one time we locked eyes for a long while then she turned away. Another time and a party the song single ladies came on when I was by her and her friends were pushing her telling her she needs to dance because she is a single lady. I really like her and I don’t know what to do because I want her to like me.

If you notice that she puts her phone away when you talk to her, that she puts off phone calls or text messages until you leave, or she tries to make calls and texts quick, it’s probably because she is more interested in what you have to say than what’s going on in her phone. Sometimes, calls or texts might be urgent and unavoidable, but as long as she isn’t ignoring you to constantly text her friends, then there’s a good sign she is listening to what you have to say.

If a girl seems to be purposely avoiding any sort of contact with you – say, actively avoiding any chance to talk to you, even if you’re in a group setting – chances are she thinks you like her but she is not interested. It could also be that she is reacting negatively to advances that are too blunt. Take her silence and avoidance as a cue to back off and give her space. You can try flirting with her again after a couple of weeks.

• Likewise, if a woman at work touches your arm, don’t automatically assume she wants to have your babies.
• What does it mean when she keeps touching her hair?
• She glances your way, laughs at your jokes, and acts nervously around you.

Don’t fret if the girl you like doesn’t initiate a conversation with you. If she likes you, she may be too shy or nervous to do so! Even if she seems like the most confident girl you know, she may have had a bad experience in the past or simply may not be ready to approach you yet but will be receptive if you start the conversation first. Take context into account. The way you interpret a girl’s body language will vary depending on the context.

She also said she could use a hug from me last night but I live 1 hour away from work. My problem is I’m lesbian and she to me comes off as a straight woman so I’m a bit confused as to how I should take her gestures. She knows I’m a lesbian and she has never really replied with her preference.

Her friends may also try to get to know to you with personal questions to make sure you’re a good guy. After all, they’re looking to protect their friend.

She once said i was the “big brother of jokes” but hasn’t said anything about me being a friend or brother since. She’s helped me a lot even when i haven’t asked but doesn’t go over the top with helping. I keep getting mixed signals from her because she is my main friend at break since coming to this school and I can’t tell if she has an interest in me or she’s just being kind because I’m new and her friend.

That would indicate possible interest. Now a socially inept boob of a guy will memorize a list like this, and anytime he sees a woman display any of these signals he’ll immediately assume that she’s attracted to him sexually. Indeed, studies have shown that many men have a hard time interpreting social cues, particularly sexual ones. Psychologist Monica Moore spent a few months observing over 200 single women at parties, bars, clubs, and restaurants.
