How do you know if a girl likes you but won't tell you?
She jokes around you
Besides laughing at your jokes, a girl who is attracted to you will want to make you smile or laugh. She might crack jokes, tell a funny story, call you funny names, or tease you. These are signs that a girl is into you but doesn't know the best way to do it.
Look at how she acts when she's around you—open body language, eye contact, and physical touch are signs that she could be interested. See what she says during a conversation; if she likes you, she might compliment you (or even tease you). Get the ball rolling by offering her a smile and striking up a conversation.
Touch their arm or knee when you laugh at their jokes. Notice when their glass is empty, and always offer to fill it up or get them another. Make eye contact from across the room at parties; smile. If you get an inside joke going between just the two of you, work it into conversation often.
The clues aren't always obvious, but you can see some of them by paying attention. When someone finds you physically attractive, it shows by always making eye contact, always wanting to touch you physically, and frequently initiating conversations.
Even when you're looking for signs she's into you, they can go right over your head. If she brings up a new restaurant she wants to try or how she is dying to go to a local game she isn't just making conversation. She is giving you a set-up to make a move and ask her to hang out one-on-one.
Make eye contact when you're talking to them, or hold their gaze for a couple of extra seconds when your eyes meet in the hallway. You could playfully tease them, or send a flirty text after school to let them know you're thinking about them.
Body orientation is an important indicator that the person you are talking to likes you. People lean toward people they like and distance themselves from people they dislike. Inward leaning increases as rapport increases.
One of the easiest ways to tell whether or not someone likes you is to pay attention to their intent, explains Bumble's sex and relationship expert Shan Boodram. Calling when they say they will, not flaking on plans, and reciprocating the time and energy you put into the connection shows intent.
If a guy asks you about your goals, shows genuine interest in your family, likes, and dislikes, or wants to know about your past relationships, it is likely that he is into you.
Another clear sign he likes you is if he is actively trying to hang out with you, or help you, or find out more about you. There are also indicators like eye contact or compliments, and showing that he's interested in your physical appearance, or who you are as a person.
