How to Tell if a Girl Likes You

"Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me."- Lonestar

Women, no doubt, often seem like a big mystery. Whether they are serious, flirting, or just playing games, it is hard to tell because all women aren't the same. Despite the fact that thousands of research papers about human behavior have been published, no one can confidently claim to say a girl likes him - Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson in What Women Want) excluded. These kind of people are indeed nonexistent. No matter how many times she smiles, flutters her eyelashes, or plays with her hair, the only way you can be sure that she really likes you, is until she says so herself.

However, women do provide some clues about what's going on in their mind. These clues can be in the form conversation, body language, etc. So, don't get stuck in the 'she loves me' or 'she loves me not' phase, learn how to decipher the cryptic hints she provides. Here are a few ways to help you get started.

Body Language

If you have never paid attention to her body language, it would be wise to start doing that now. If she's leaning close and smiling while talking to you, she's genuinely interested. If she touches your arm or shoulder often, smiles when you look at her, and looks into your eyes when you speak to her, it's a clear sign that she's definitely interested. Also watch out for her hand gestures. She may twirl her hair, play with jewelry or other accessories, and rub her wrists, these are few nervous signs of interest. Remember that mostly body language clues are about physical attraction, rather than commitment and relationship but, there are always exceptions to the rule.

Conversation

Observe the way she listens to you while you are speaking. Do her eyes wander somewhere else or are they focused on you? If she is interested in you, she will listen attentively to what you are saying. You cannot get to know a person until you start talking to them. The way you start a conversation is also important. Start the conversation with slight humor to lighten the mood. Remember, if you can make a woman laugh, half your battle is already won. If she talks a lot about you, or asks you many questions, she's curious and wants to know more about you, and if she talks about herself - her interests, hobbies, friends and family - she probably wants you to get to know her better, before committing to a relationship.

Watch Her When She's with Her Friends

Some girls behave differently when they are with their friends, for example, she may be comfortable when she's alone with you, but, with her friends around, she may try to avoid you. You should look at the way her friends react when you pass by. If they glance at you smiling and giggling, it probably means that her friends know about you - a good sign. Or, when she's having a conversation with her friends, and you pass by, she may stop talking, which means that you were probably the topic of conversation. It may also be that she's just nervous in your presence. These are some signs that show she is interested in you, and wants to get to know you better.

Some Other Clues

• To know more about you, she may start hanging around your friends
• She is always the first to congratulate you on your achievements, and is always there to support you

These are a but a few signs which will let you know if a girl likes you or not. To understand these signs, you need to spend time with her and get to know her better. And once you know that she likes you, just love her 'truly, madly, deeply'.
