Do you have your eye on a special woman, but aren't sure if she is attracted to you? Sometimes, it can be difficult to tell if a female is interested in a guy in a romantic way or if she only wishes to be friends.
If you are not sure how to read her signals, or are confused about what specific signs and hints that you should look for, then this guide is intended for you. Don't feel too badly--many guys, no matter what their age, have a hard time deciphering the female (so do other women for that matter).
However, this page will help you learn how to tell if a lady likes you! Traditionally, it is the male who usually makes the first move in a potentially romantic situation. In fact, society has taught many ladies that it is not polite to make a pass at a guy, and many females fear that if they act too boldly they will scare off the object of their affections, or even be labeled as unladylike.
This means more guesswork for males, as a female may not be inclined to show her feelings when she is attracted to someone. However, most girls will drop physical and verbal clues if they are into you. If you pay attention, you will be able to uncover her true desires.
It may be possible to learn quite a bit about a woman just by paying attention to how she carries herself when you are around, as well as any subtle movements. Here are some common things that girls do when they are attracted to someone:
1. Touching: If she touches you, there is an excellent chance that she sees you as more than just a friend. This is one of the most clear signs that you can get. Even touching in a way that seems completely platonic, such as patting your shoulder or touching your hand lightly, can mean that she is interested in touching you more in the future.
Does she greet you with a huge grin? Does she smile often during your conversations? If so, she may be interested. This is particularly true if she does not tend to smile at other guys, but saves this gesture for you.
If a woman is attracted to you, she will most likely look right at you when you have a conversation together. She will be intent on watching you because she is interested in the way that you look, and also wants to make sure that she has your attention, as well.
Step 2: Listen to Her. Of course, you may not always be able to tell a girl's true intentions simply by watching her body language. and listening to her. Some ladies are shy, and get nervous when they are around guys that they are very interested in. This can make their body language tell you that they are not interested when in fact they are. Other times, they may try to mask their attraction because they do not want to be too obvious, or make you think that they are interested. This is why it is also important to listen to what a girl has to say. Does she laugh at every joke you tell, even if they are not all funny? This can mean that she is very much interested. Humor can seem much funnier than it actually is when it comes from the mouth of someone a woman is attracted to.
Another thing to pay attention to is how much she asks for your opinion. If she tends to ask you what you think about a situation, or presents a problem and asks you what you would do in this or that situation, she may like you. She will also tend to remember the things that you tell her if she is attracted.
There is one way to tell for certain if a girl likes you--come out and ask. Sure it takes some courage, but if you want to go out with this person you will eventually need to be able to inquire about her feelings towards you. Of course, if you aren't yet feeling quite brave enough to do this, you may also try to do a bit of investigating and try to learn what her feelings are before taking the plunge of asking her on a date.
One way to do this is to ask her friends. Keep in mind, however, that her friends are likely to run right back to her and tell her that you asked if she likes you. This could work either for or against you, depending on the girl. If you do not want this to happen, try to be subtle. Strike up a conversation about a completely different matter, and subtly bring up the topic of who's dating who, and who some people in your circle may be interested in. Then you can casually drop, "so how about (your girl's name here)? Who's she dating?" At that point, the friend will almost certainly tell you (or at least hint) if she has mentioned that she is attracted to you.

Does he ask a lot of questions about you, such as how your job is going and what your weekend plans are? If so, then he is interested in learning more about you, which can be a sign that he is interested--particularly if he asks if you are single!
Announcing his single status: If he makes it a point to let you know that he is currently unattached, he may be hinting that he is available for you.
