Things You Should Know. Catching her staring at you is the biggest sign she has a crush. Look for other telltale cues like blushing, giggling, or making excuses to be together. Listen carefully to what she says—if she asks you about your crushes or talks about how she wants a boyfriend, she's dropping you some hints.
If she knows and does like you back she will talk to you more, walk near you, sit next to you, make eye contact, twirl her hair, or give you compliments. She may also be secretive about who she likes.
Not everyone will show their cards right away, and there might be a good reason why she's hiding her feelings from you. Maybe she's uncertain about your feelings for her. Maybe you're good friends and she doesn't want to make things weird. Maybe she's in a relationship and doesn't want to stir the boat.
“If she's leaning back and not really engaging you, she's just being polite. If she's glancing around, she's just being polite.” However, if she is flirting, “she'll be making definite eye contact, being very interested in whatever you're saying, and letting you know what she thinks,” adds Tessina.
In reality, according to psychologists, a typical crush usually lasts for FOUR MONTHS. If the feeling persists, what you feel is what we like to call, “being in love.”
A woman is usually flirting with you if she's mimicking your movements, leaning into your conversation, quickly blinking her eyes, or lightly touching you. If she turns to look somewhere else, frowns, or tries to move away from you, then those are signs a woman isn't interested.
This will communicate that you are interested in speaking to her. Keep smiling with open body language so she knows this is a friendly look, not a threatening stare. The longer she maintains eye contact, the more likely it is that she may be interested in meeting you.
Try this instead: Make great eye contact while talking to him. It's sexy, smart, and shows you're really listening. Laughing can be a great way to flirt—when things are genuinely funny. But if you're speaking to a man and you laugh at everything he says, you'll confuse him and come off looking a little ditzy—or nuts.
Mixed signals can simply be a miscommunication—or they can be an excuse to hold you at arm's length because they don't want to commit (or make you believe that they are ready to). “Usually, it's used to create distance,” Feuerman says. “It's a way to say, 'I'm not totally sure I am into your or not.
