How can I tell if a girl likes me?

Question

One of my family friends is a girl and she is friends with two girls I like. Do you think I should ask her to ask them if they like me? Me and the other two girls are in the same gym class(co-ed) and they see that I am unbelievable at sports and one of them wanted me on their team since they were down a player. When I play against her she smiles at me when she is dribbling the ball and I allow her to get to the goal even though she is a great athlete. Does she like me?

Answer 1

Just because she smiled at you? That's the only thing you've got to go by? I think you should look for some better signs before you go solely on that hint. The only way you can truly know if a girl likes you is to ask her. If you ask her you can be sure as it came directly from her and not from random people on the internet. If you don't think you can manage that, here are some signs that she may like you (change the he's to she's and things like that -- you'll see what I mean):

- Allows you into his "personal space"
- Always backs you up - supportive
- Apologizes a lot
- Asks both his and your friends about you
- Behaviour generally changes (gets louder or goes quiet when you're around)
- Blinks more than usual in conversation with you
- Calls for random reasons (homework, etc.)
- Compliments you (tells you you smell nice, look nice etc.)
- Doesn't talk / ask for things at all, but will with everyone else (shy)
- Eyebrows raise when they see you (even for a quick second)
- Eyes get "soft" when he looks at you (become "intimate")
- Eyes travel in a circle around your face when he talks to you
- Facial expression changes when he sees you / you're around
- Feet and/or upper body point in your direction
- Frequently touches his face
- Friends aren't really his top priority
- Friends know you, but you don't know them
- Friends pay attention to you after he's been staring 
- Friends start talking to you / asking you questions (about him usually)
- Gazes into your eyes with deep interest
- Gives you a nickname
- Gives you his undivided attention
- Hangs around you a lot
- He blushes and/or sweats around you
- He licks his lips (wants to kiss you)
- He will find reasons to talk to you
- Holds his thumbs in his belt loops (cowboy stance)
- If you flirt with him, he flirts back
- If you are in a bad mood, he will try to make you feel better
- Initiates dates
- Is there for you when you're down
- Laughs at your jokes / unfunny things you say
- Listens to you and remembers what you say
- Looks at you when he's talking to other people
- Makes future plans with you (movies on Friday, etc.)
- May act weird around you / seem nervous
- May get the "feeling" he's watching, but can never catch him at it
- May poke you, play with your hair, etc.
- May seem jealous when you look at / talk about other guys
- Mirrors you
- Mouth opens a little when he sees / talks to you
- Nice to your friends (maybe extra nice)
- Plays footsie
- Preens (straightens tie, runs fingers through hair etc.)
- Pupils dilate
- Reacts positively to flirting
- Remembers your name / talking to you etc. 
- Remembers little quirks about you that others would easily forget
- Respects you
- Says dumb things just to keep you talking
- Says, "hi," to you a lot
- Seems sad when you ignore him
- Sits / stands in the "open" position (facing you and arms/legs uncrossed)
- Sits up straight and muscles appear firm
- Smiles back when you smile at him (esp. wide)
- Stares a lot (esp. right into your eyes) and holds the stare for longer than usual
- Stutters/mumbles when he speaks to you
- Talks to your friends
- Talks / asks for things (outgoing)
- Teases you a lot (calls you names, etc.)
- Touches you (rubs up against you and the like) "accidentally"
- Tries to hold your hand / touch you "accidentally"
- Voice changes when he talks to you (gets softer)
- Watches your lips (dead giveaway)
- Will act foolish (to get your attention)
- Will do small favours for you
- Will focus on you in a group
- Will hang on your every word / seems to
- Will help you whenever he can
- Will sometimes choose you over his friends
- Will try and hug you whenever he can (when you're mad, sad, etc.)

Answer 2

Well, being a girl, I think you should come right out and say you have feelings for her. Us girls like it when a guy is totally honest and upfront about this kind of stuff. But I know you're scared about rejection, all of us are, so if you don't wanna be totally honest yet, maybe you should ask her if she likes someone. If she says yes, maybe it's you :) Then you should ask her who it is. If she doesn't wanna tell you, it's probably because she's scared that you don't like her back. Hate it when this happens. If she doesn't wanna tell you, be like "I'm not gonna tell anyone. Plus, I'm sure this guy likes you back." Maybe that'll loosen her up a bit to tell you. If not, keep trying, but don't bug her every day. And to gain her trust/show her that you care, if she ever looks down or something, ask her whats wrong. If she shakes her head, just give her a big hug and tell her that you're there if she ever needs to talk. We love comforting guys. But never force the answer out of her. Hope this helps :)

Answer 3

She's dribbling the ball and smiling at you at the same time. Tells me she knows how to be a girl and play against the guys - play her like she is a member of a team. Her liking you is not going to depend on favors you do for her on the court. You see her enough to figure out if she likes you already. Call her on the phone and ask her if she wants to go to a sports event with you (you buy the tickets to some good sports event and she'll be very tempted, I guarantee it!) You already have some sports interests in common.

Answer 4

I don't think that you should ask them, through her. First of all, if those three are all friends, then you may hurt her feelings by asking the other two and not her, also. I suggest that you choose one girl, and ask her out personally, so that the other two would understand or beleive that you only like one of them. By asking her out to her face, you're proving that you arnt scared, and that you eally like her.

Answer 5

She probably does, if when talking to her she keeps eye contact with you and stands with her hands by her sides and not crossed then she most likely does. You must analyze her body language, if you get the vibes she does then yeh she probs doe. Always listen to your instincts

Answer 6

Well she could just be really good friends with you but I think she likes you...Go ahead and ask her out ;]

Answer 7

I don't know but make sure your never a jerk even if you find out she likes you. Girls make eye contact when they like you so maybe she does.

Answer 8

well...

u see...i speak this sort of language...lol

she could totally just think you're cute...and be smiling because you're a cutie...

or she could very well like you.

but if you like her...why not ask her out?

you never know...this could be a really kool relationship.

go for it. =]

Answer 9

oh yes diffidently next time your alone at recess just ask her to go out with you

Answer 10

hmmn, its either she likes you, or she likes the fact that u like her (i'm assuming she knows u do probably from catching your eye) anyway i think u should make friends wit ha...
