1

She initiates contact with you.

An Aquarius woman doesn't typically need to seek anyone out. This woman is usually surrounded by friends—they come to her. If she texts you first or walks up to you and starts a conversation, don't take it for granted.^{[2]

- She's also likely to start asking you a lot of questions. If she's interested in you, she's going to be curious and want to know everything about you.
- Respond to her questions with openness and truthfulness. Even if she doesn't agree with you, she'll respect and value your honesty.

2

She gets awkward around you.

The quick and clever social butterfly can lose her cool around someone she likes. This is usually a surefire way to tell if an Aquarius woman is interested in you. She's usually smooth and witty, but for some reason whenever you show up she turns into a neurotic space cadet.
- Don't worry, this state is only temporary. Once she starts to feel more comfortable around you, the awkwardness will go away—so enjoy it while it lasts.

3

She pays more attention to you than anyone else.

Aquarians are usually known for their egalitarian nature. If you're in a group, she'll do her best to give everyone equal time. So if she seems to clearly be favoring you and spends more time looking your way or seeking your input, she probably has a thing for you.^{[3]

- This is especially true if you're hanging out with a group of people who are close friends of hers. These are people she loves and respects, so if she's still paying more attention to you, she's probably smitten.

4

She agrees to meet you one-on-one.

Download Article

Aquarians tend to place a high priority on their social lives. Spending time alone with you means missing out on time with everybody else. This isn't a trade-off an Aquarius woman takes lightly, so if she agrees to go out with you, and only you, that's a good sign she thinks of you as more than a friend.
- Don't take it personally, though, if she seems to prefer group dates or hanging out with friends. She's a very social person and you'll rarely have her all to yourself, even if you end up in a committed relationship.
- Aquarius women also try to avoid uncomfortable situations at all costs, so if she shies away from spending alone time with you, it might also be that she just doesn't quite feel comfortable around you yet.

5

She talks to you for hours on end.

Download Article

The typical Aquarius woman is a talker, especially with someone she likes. If you've just finished a marathon all-night conversation about everything from prison reform to puppies, it's safe to say she's taken a shine to you. Aquarians have a gift for gab, and she'll definitely talk your ear off if you give her the opportunity.
- Aquarians don't have the reputation for being good listeners, but if she's into you, she'll want to hear your thoughts on anything she's talking about. She'll actually listen and take your views into consideration—even though she might not change her mind.
- These long conversations often signal that she's slowly easing into an emotional connection with you.^{[4]

She involves you in her quirky hobbies.

Aquarians tend to have a wide range of interests and want to share them. She likes a lot of diverse things—some of them more oddball and obscure than others. If she's into you, she'll enjoy exposing you to all the various facets of her weird and wacky world.
- Don't expect to do or talk about the same thing twice. An Aquarius woman has a broad knowledge base and is attracted to things that are as unique and off-the-wall as she is. If you want to impress her, let her know how much you appreciate this. For example, you might say, "Wow, where did you find this song? It's my new favorite—I've listened to it a dozen times today!"

7

She introduces you to her friends (and she has a lot of them).

An Aquarius woman typically wants to integrate you into her group.^{[5]

Expert Interview} Friendship is incredibly important to Aquarians, so if she really likes you, she wants you to get along with all of her friends as well. Plus, given her extroverted, social nature, if you intend to spend a lot of time with her, you'll probably be spending a lot of time with them as well.
- Don't be surprised to find that she has an incredibly diverse group of friends. Aquarius women have a lot of different interests, and they'll have a lot of different friends to match.

8

She surprises you with thoughtful little presents.

Download Article

Aquarius women have a reputation for generosity. She'll see something while she's out that she feels you just have to have, or that reminds her of you in the moment, and she'll get it for you. These things demonstrate that she's thinking about you and you're always on her mind—a clear indication that she really likes you.
- For example, if you happen to mention that you have a hard time slicing sausages, don't be shocked when she randomly presents you with a new sausage knife. She wants the best for you and will do anything to help make your life a little easier.

9

She reveals her humorous side.

Download Article

She's usually pretty serious, but if she likes you, she'll go out of her way to make you laugh. Aquarians have a reputation for being airy intellectuals who spend a lot of time thinking and value intelligence—but that doesn't mean they don't also know how to have fun!^{[6]

- Aquarians are typically pretty eccentric, so expect her to have a pretty silly and goofy sense of humor. She can be quick to find the humor in things and might surprise you with an offbeat observation.

10

She takes you with her on a road trip.

Download Article

Aquarius women usually thrill for out-of-the-way adventures. She might have an odd destination in mind, but you know she's into you if she wants to share the trip with you. She hears the call of the open road and yearns to see all the weirdness and beauty the world has to offer.
- Don't expect her trips to be meticulously planned out months in advance—she's too impulsive for that. She's more likely to suggest you join her for a weekend jaunt that she'll figure out as she goes along.

11

She invites you into her space.

- If she invites you over to her home and makes you feel welcome and comfortable, she's telling you that she's comfortable having you in her life on a regular basis.

12

She tells you her innermost thoughts and feelings.

Download Article

Aquarians aren't known for showing their emotions but she'll open up if she cares about you. It makes her feel vulnerable to express her emotions, and she's not too keen on that. If she's willing to expose her soft, vulnerable side, you know she has a special connection to you.
- If she does open up to you, do what you can to make her feel safe and supported. She's taking a big risk by allowing herself to be vulnerable with you—it's important to make it clear that she hasn't made a mistake.

Aquarius women are very independent and need space. Aquarius women are so intellectual and can be stuck in their heads, so they need a man who will make it very clear that he's interested in touching their body and getting them to an intimate space.
