It is a good idea to see how much attention she pays to other guys versus how much attention she pays to you. Again, if she’s really shy she may be more comfortable talking to guys that she doesn’t like versus someone she does – maybe you!
Not all friends do this, but if you pay attention you might catch a friend winking at your crush or giving them an elbow nudge. Keep your eye out for these types of clues.
For example, if she tries to engage you in interesting conversations then she probably thinks you are interesting.
For example, if she asks you how your soccer game went or your piano recital it means she is paying attention to your interests. That’s a good sign.
She might ask you a lot of questions about your interests. She might even just say something about how she’s excited you’ll be living in the same neighborhood next year, or something like that. Keep an eye out for these clues. If she is a straight A student, and she asks you for the history assignment, she probably already has it and she just wanted to talk to you. But be careful, she might really need help, so don’t get your hopes up too high.
For example, if she teases you for being late to school that day she might like you. If she tells you you’re dumb because you failed a test, she probably doesn’t.
Even if it’s just a girl who works at the bookstore, go up to her and see if she wants to get lunch with you sometime. The worst that happens is that they say no and they will probably be really flattered. If they say anything mean then they weren’t worth your time to begin with. For example, just ask her what she’s doing for lunch tomorrow. Ask her if she would be up to grab some tacos with you. It’s as easy as that! It might be a good idea to find out if she has a boyfriend. If she does, she probably is more interested in him than you. If she has a boyfriend, the best thing to do is lay off of her. If she doesn’t have one, she could be interested in anyone!
You don’t have to say “do you like me”. Try telling her that you feel like you guys have a really good connection and you find yourself wondering if it might be something more than friendship. Then ask what she thinks.
