DATING ADVICE

“How do I understand whether a girl likes you?”

This is going to come from a woman’s perspective, but don’t expect this to apply to everyone.

When a girl has romantic feelings for you, she will go to great lengths to avoid revealing herself. The only way to tell is by observing her body language and conduct. There are as many different kinds of women as there are different kinds of flowers on earth. When confronted with the person they like, they can be bashful, in denial, or helplessly smitten.

So, if you have a sneaking suspicion that she feels the same way you do, here are some signs to keep an eye out for.

1. When you aren’t looking, she stares, and when you are, she looks away.
2. She is the one who initiates physical contact.
3. She invites you to hang out whenever she has the opportunity.
4. She always finds a way to spend time with you. When she drops everything to hang out with you, you’ll know she really likes you.
5. She makes an effort to stay in touch, especially if you are in different social circles.
6. She compliments you on the most insignificant details, such as your shoes or musical preferences.
7. She responds quickly to messages and initiates the conversation even if she has nothing important to say.

On one hand, there’s also Helen E. Fisher, a best-selling author and a Rutgers University anthropologist, who says women around the world have similar sequences of expression when they show interest.

“When a woman shows interest, she smiles at her admirer and lifts her eyebrows in a swift, jerky motion as she opens her eyes wide to gaze at him. Then she drops her eyelids, tilts her head down and to the side, and looks away. Frequently she also covers her face with her hands, giggling nervously as she retreats behind her palms.”

Irenaus Eibl-Eibesfeldt, a German ethologist, was sure that this courting gesture was innate. That it was a female courtship ploy that evolved eons ago to signal interest.

For the most part, this is true for women. Of course, you’d have to consider their personalities as well as their cultural backgrounds before coming to a conclusion. You can’t just assume she likes you because she meets one or two of these criteria. It’s also useful to know how she behaves around other people versus how she behaves around you.

In order to not make a mistake and misinterpret her intentions, pay attention to these signs. Be aware that some women are just good natured and sweet without having any romantic feelings on how they treat someone.

So make sure to observe and never assume things.
