She brightens up when she sees you

Download Article

1. 
   We often get happy and excited around someone we’re attracted to. Pay close attention next time you’re together. If the sight of you almost always brings a smile to her face, it's possible that she has feelings for you.

She has open body language

Download Article

1. 
   Open body language shows someone feels safe and engaged around you. Getting extra close when you talk and turning towards you are examples of open body language. Keep an eye out for “mirroring,” which is when someone copies how you’re sitting or standing. If she mirrors your body language when you’re together, it’s usually a good sign.

She gets nervous even though she's happy to see you

1. 
   It’s common to feel a little nervous around someone you’re crushing on. Pay attention to how she talks to you vs. other people around her. If talking to you gives her extra butterflies, it’s a sign that she might have a crush.

She has trouble keeping eye contact

Download Article

1. 
   Breaking eye contact is a sign of feeling nervous. This happens to us when we’re talking to someone we’re attracted to, or when we’re nervous in general. If she seems happy to be around you but struggles to make eye contact when you talk, it could be another sign of butterflies.

She teases you just a little

Download Article

1. 
   Teasing can be a sign of flirting. If her teasing makes you smile, it could be a way of getting your attention—especially if she lets you tease her back. Just remember that teasing is not the same as making fun of someone, so always be careful and respect her feelings.

   Engaging with someone’s social media is another way to get their attention. An occasional thumbs up might not mean much. But if she suddenly starts liking and commenting on everything you post, it could be a sign that she likes you quite a bit.

She's been texting more often, and in different ways than before

She finds ways to spend time with you 1-on-1

Download Article

1. 
   Nothing says “I want you” like wanting to be alone with you. Pay attention to her body language when you’re alone together. If she’s always finding ways to have you all to herself and in her personal space, it’s a strong sign that she may have a crush..

9

She's been opening up to you more

Download Article

1. 
   Sharing your inner life with someone is an act of trust. It’s hard to be vulnerable, especially when you have romantic feelings for someone. If she’s in your personal space and opening up to you more than she used to, she might have deeper feelings for you.

She seems genuinely interested in what you have to say

Download Article

1. 
   Listening to someone shows that you really care. If she lets you open up to her, it could be a sign that she’s crushing on you—especially if she opens up to you too. Be yourself and see how your conversations go.

She laughs at your terrible jokes

Download Article

   Being attracted to someone makes them seem funnier. Think about it. Are you always making her laugh? Does she make you feel like a natural comedian? Maybe you are. Or maybe she just thinks you’re cute!

She compliments you in little ways

Download Article

1. 
   Believe it or not, it's the little compliments that matter most. Maybe she thinks your shoes are super cool, or she loved that painting you posted on Instagram last week. Watch out for little compliments like these. They might be a good sign, especially if you pick up on other signals too.

13

She gets touchy-feely

Download Article

1. 
   Some people get extra touchy when they’re attracted to someone. Brushing up against you, touching your arm, and sitting up against you are all things to look out for. If you’ve noticed her doing these sorts of things more often lately, it might be because she’s attracted to you.

She’s always in your DMs

Download Article

1. 
   DMs are a great way to low-key flirt. Like texting, you’ll want to be on the lookout for flirty emojis, cute memes, and conversations that go on at all hours, day and night. If she wants your attention, this is a great way to get it. Bonus points if she continues the conversation in-person.

15

She wants to spend more time with you

Download Article

1. 
   Spending time together can help romantic feelings blossom. As always, context is super important, so look out for multiple signs. If she texts all the time, get close when you talk, laughs at your jokes, and she still wants to see more of you, there's a real possibility that she sees you as more than just a friend.
