How can you tell if a girl likes you?

Question

Maybe I'm thinking too much about this, but I'm thinking and hoping at the same time that this girl likes me. I've been friends with her this year, and I went to a couple of parties with her, even her Sweet 16, which I got an honorable mention.

Now, I'm up to the point of considering to ask her out, but I'm just worried if I should do it in the first place, because I've been denied 2 times, 1 in a humiliating way that still bothers me to this day, and one more denial would just crush my morale.

With the school year coming to an end, I'm feeling more and more pressured to ask her out, because we talk most of the time in school, and that was the basis of a good chunk of conversations. Now with that chance slipping away, I don't know what to do with myself.

The girl I like tends to be really friendly and playful, but I have no clue if that's towards me, being treated as if I was a friend, and nothing else, or either she's flirting with me.

What do you mean I have nothing to lose?

I did ask girls out in the past, very rarely, making it 2 times. The first time, I was denied, and pretty much embarrassed for a while, and when people still bring this up to me, I get pissed off. So guess what, I did something bold, and it failed.

But then I thought, hey there's more girls out there, and I found another whom I wanted to ask out, and she denied me, but we remained friends.

Now I'm afraid to get rejected again, since it would just be morally crushing, and maybe it would be awkward for both of us, seeing me as maybe a friend and finding a nice way to deny me. And from that moment, assuming if she says no, what am I to do from there?

If I completely avoid her from there, she would probably feel bad about it, and if I remain friends with her, I might not know if I'm going too far as to whether being myself or if I'm flirting.

Answer 1

You are right. This is a risk and there is something to lose... the friendship. I think you have to weigh how much you'll regret not knowing if she could be your girl vs whether you are willing to lose the friendship if the feelings are not mutual. I say that you should live life with no regrets, so choose the decision you'll least regret regardless of the outcome. For example, you never tell her and remain her friend and always wonder. Or, you tell her, she laughs in your face and makes the end of the school year a nightmare. If she shares your feelings, it could be bliss. Who knows. I wish you the best.

Answer 2

If you want it to happen, your going to have to ask. That's the cost of getting together with a girl. If your happy with the relationship as it is, then leave it alone. Do not let rejection make the decision for you though.

Answer 3

omg! the girl is gonna be old and moldy by the time you get off that teeter-totter! just ask the girl. all she can do is tell you yes or no. NO is probally the first word you heard in life. maybe its the first word you understood in life. no is universal, its understood everywhere. so, you won't die from hearing it. just ask her before someone else steps where you should had gone.

Answer 4

dude you need to just man up and ask her if she says no then you haven't lost anything actually you have gained something by kowing she doesn't like you you will look at other girls and you can keep asking till someone says yes. It is a win win situation

Answer 5

honestly, if she already told u no then she dosent see u the same way u see her and i wouldnt ask her again buz she made it clear the first time....she knows u like her thats y she teases u, but if she liked u more than a friend she would ask u out becuz she already knows u would say yes get it......im sure there are other girls out there who like u, and really like u go find one of them and dont waste ur time on her...i hope this helps
