  1. After all, you wouldn’t ask someone to spend time with you unless you enjoyed being around them. [6] She might not ask you out directly, but even just a “Let’s hang out!” on a regular basis is a potential indicator that she wants to be more than friends.
    • Making plans is also a good way to test out what a long-term relationship with someone might be like. Try to choose someplace you both enjoy, so that you can both be in your element and you can really get to know her.
    • Reader Poll: We asked 845 wikiHow readers who've asked someone out, and 54% of them agreed that the best way to do so is by casually suggesting you hang out and spend time together. [Take Poll] So odds are, if she’s already doing this, she likes you!

  1. You have to know a lot about the other person and be confident in how well you know them. That sort of knowledge only comes with careful listening, which is a marker of a close relationship. [14] Sure, friends might give each other advice , too, but if she does this on top of other signs on this list, there’s a good chance she likes you more than a friend.
    • If she seems comfortable giving advice, you might ask her what she thinks about relationships. This steers the conversation toward romance, and could get you talking about the two of you.

  1. Asking about your relationship status is a clear indicator that she’s curious about whether or not you're available, and if you’re interested in dating. Friends who are comfortable being “just friends” typically don’t wonder about where they stand in their relationship. [15]
    • Don’t panic! If she’s asking where the two of you stand, it means she’s comfortable with clear and honest conversation, and you shouldn’t feel nervous talking about what you want and your expectations.

  1. Telling someone you like them takes a lot of courage, and isn’t something most people do lightly. She might not say exactly that, but asking you on a date or a similar, typically romantic activity could mean the same thing.
    • This is also a sign of strong and confident communication. She’s confident and knows what she wants, which are desirable traits in a partner. It’s also a green light for you to say it back, if that’s how you feel.
    • If you’re not into it, the expectation for honest communication has been set, and you can tell her you don’t feel the same way. Just be sure to let her down easy. Try something like, “It means a lot that you told me that, but I’m not in the right place for a relationship right now.”
