If you have seen her recently, then try to come up with an excuse to start a conversation based on your last interaction. For example, if you were recently at a party together, text her something like "Hey, how was the rest of your night?" If you are in a class together, try something like "Are you ready for the test on Monday?"

You may have heard advice that you need to wait 2-3 days so that you don't come off as desperate. This is kind of outdated advice today. Since everyone is carrying their phone with them at all times, it's perfectly fine to ask a girl on a date the day after you first met her or exchanged numbers. Don't worry; it won't make you seem desperate if you ask!

Question

How do I know if a girl likes me?

Community Answer

It's not always easy to tell, but she might talk to you more than others, maintain eye contact, laugh a lot at your jokes, respond quickly to your texts, etc. You could also try casually touching her on the arm or leg during conversation and see how she responds. If she smiles, touches you back, etc. these are good signs.

Question

All of these tips rely on not knowing the other person very well. What could I do if I've known her for a long time?

Community Answer

If you have been friends for a while, ease into it slowly. Drop subtle hints that you are interested and gauge her reaction. You don't want to sabotage the friendship you have developed over the years.

Respect her wishes! Education is the top priority. When she gets into college, ask her again.
