How do you know if someone likes you? There’s this girl at school I like, and I think she likes me, but I can’t really tell. I don’t want to ask her to be my girlfriend if she’s just going to say no. Do I ask her if she likes me over text? Or do I just look for big signs?

One of the telltale signs that a girl likes you is that she’s paying a lot of attention to you. Sometimes that attention isn't necessarily what seems to be positive. A lot of girls like to tease, joke around, or make fun of guys they like when they flirt. Any kind of attention is a good thing.

Another big sign is if she asks you to hang out with her and her friends. Those are all good signs that someone obviously likes you as a person and it could turn into something more. Also, if she likes you, she’ll be more likely to compliment your clothes or hair style. She may even seek you out for advice or ask for help with her homework just as an excuse to talk to you.

I realized that a girl liked me when she took an interest in the things I was interested in. It's normal for someone to ask you what your hobbies are and what you like reading/watching and stuff, but she went a step further and actually did those things too. Like when I told her I was reading a certain book, she went and read it so she could talk to me about it. When she found out I was in a club she also joined that club.

Try to pay attention to how she acts around you. Look for things like if she has trouble making or maintaining eye contact with you. If she doesn't move away or if she gets flustered when you get close to her. If she smiles a lot or gets happy when you're around her. If she leans toward you when you talk. If she stands next to you or looks a lot at you when you're in a group. Things like that.

I think just go for it and ask her.
I would say start a text conversation and then slowly lead into it. That's what happened with me and my girlfriend
