HOW TO KNOW IF A GIRL IS INTO YOU

Hey Brandon,
There’s a girl in my class that I like. Sometimes she’s super friendly and nice and other times she totally ignores me. How do you know if a girl is into you or not?
One Very Confused Dude

Dear Very Confused Dude,

This is a really good question. To be honest, I kind of wonder the same thing myself.There’s a girl at my school (who shall remain nameless). She’s funny, cute, and nice. I really like her, but I don’t know how she feels about me. Even though it’s confusing, this is what I’ve figured out about girls so far.Some girls are really over the top and obvious, like MacKenzie. (I’m guessing that, since you’re on this site, you’ve read Nikki’s diaries and you know that MacKenzie’s as subtle as a flashing neon sign when it comes to her interest in me.)

But other girls get kind of shy and nervous. That’s why they’re nice sometimes and then seem cold at other times.

If you didn’t know any better, you might think they’re ducking you because your breath smells like a pile of dirty gym socks, on top of a pile of garbage, when really they’re just afraid they’ll say something that sounds dumb or do something embarrassing.

Since I’ve had experience with both kinds of girls, I can tell you four surefire ways to know that a girl is into you:

  1. Body language. With some girls (the neon sign ones), it’s obvious. They’ll touch your arm or twirl their hair around you, thinking they’re being cute and flirty, when they’re really being kind of annoying. But the second kind of girl might look down at her feet or blush when she’s talking to you.
  2. She laughs at your jokes…even the bad ones. When a girl’s into you she’ll laugh at anything she thinks you intended to be funny, even if it’s not. So, if you wanted, you could do a little test. You could tell a really bad joke, like “What kind of bagel can fly? A plain bagel!” If she laughs like you’re hysterical, it’s a pretty good sign she’s into you.
  3. She tries to help you. If your family’s animal shelter is about to close and she enters a competition, hoping to win and donate the prize money to the shelter, odds are she’s not just really into animals. She’s probably really into you. But this probably won’t happen, since you’re not me. It’s more likely she’ll offer to help you study for your math test, or offer you half of her sandwich when you forget your lunch. If it’s her favorite sandwich, then it’s a no brainer.
  4. She giggles with her friends when you’re around. Unless she’s a mean girl, and she’s telling her friends that she could shoot a hockey puck through the gap between your two front teeth, she’s probably telling her friends how cute you are. Girls tell their friends everything. If she’s into you, they know…and they’re looking for signs that you’re into her too so they can report back to her.

While these are all good signs, there’s one really good one: she says “me too” when you tell her that you like her.

It can be kind of scary to come right out and say it, but girls like confidence. So take a deep breath, walk up to her, smile, and let her know how you feel.

I hope this helps…and I hope she likes you back!

    YOU SHOULD ASK HER AND IF SHE SAYS NO AND IS HESITANT OR BLUFFING THEN SHE LIKES YOU

    Hey One Very Confused Dude! If you really do like that very lucky girl, then you should tell her. I mean you did say she was nice so if you told her I don’t think she will have a bad reaction unless she’s one of those CCP girls.
    If you want to know if she likes you then here are some hints and tips since I’m one too:
    – if she talks to you often then that’s a sign that she interested in you (this only applies to those really confident girls) I mean which doesn’t love taking to her crush
    – try talking to her often, if she smiles and seems interested then there might be a chance she likes you
    – if she often ends up sitting next to you or comes in comes in contact with you such as picking you as a partner then that’s a HUGE sign
    – if she keeps looking in your direction that could be a possibly
    – if you are close to her and nice to her, she’ll immediately notice
    – compliment her when it’s only you too that will give her a hint you like her, and if she smiles and says thank you that means she might like you

    There are my tips and hints, hope it helped!

    Chances are she likes you. But, I’m a girl and I know it’s way easier for a boy to ask you. Also, you don’t want to act desperate and overbearing.

    Here’s some advice for Very Confused Dude this is coming from a girl who has had experience with liking a guy.
    1. She stares at you. If she’s shy then if you turn facing her she’ll quickly turn around
    2. Notice her friends. A girl will tell her bff’s ANYTHING . If they are teasing her when you’re around or trying to get her to talk to you then she likes you.

    Well that’s all I can think of! Bye, I hope this advice helps you 😉

    Hi One Very Confused Dude, it is me Artistgal199 with SOME GOOD advice for you.

    A girl MIGHT be into you if she’s being nice. OK I am NOT sure though about it. My friend told me that boy in my class MIGHT like me.

    Here are three ways to know

    1. She is NICE and friendly. If you are getting teased by those CCP’s and SHE just comes in flying standing up for you THAT is a sign.

    2. She tries to flirt with you. Usually she passes notes to you in class or she can’t stop BLUSHING at your pretty eyes.

    3. She will pause a lot when talking to you.

    Hope those helped!!

    Well, if you are into her then you’ve got to tell her. This chance might be one in a million. So, buddy just assume the best. By the way, I acted the same way toward a boy that I liked. So your friend might act that way because you are around your friends. I don’t really like most of my crush’s friends. Anyway, I think you should just tell her. That’s all I can say. I really hope that she likes you too.
