    If a German girl likes you, she won’t be able to look away. Do her eyes linger on you even after you’ve finished talking? Can you feel her gaze on the back of your head in class? Does she hold your gaze longer than normal? These could all be signs that she likes you. [1]
    • Let her know you’re into her too by keeping your eyes on her.
    • Direct eye contact is a sign of trust, so show her you trust her by looking in her eyes when you talk to her.
