The sure signs that she likes you

I've had this secret crush for a while now (unfortunately I can't tell you who it is because that would spoil the secret), but I'm confused as to whether or not he feels the same way about me.

With all these mixed signals flying around, this week I thought it would be a good idea to help you guys out by revealing some clues that a girl is interested in you.

You catch her looking over at you a lot

Eye contact is one of the most obvious clues that someone likes you, so if you often catch her staring in your direction then the chances are she's interested. Another sure sign is if she catches your eye and then quickly looks away again. She may be embarrassed that you've caught her out!

She flirts with another guy in front of you

Believe it or not this is often a major clue that a girl likes you and she is trying to provoke a reaction from you to find out whether or not you feel the same way about her. If she can gain your attention by flirting so openly with someone else, she can gauge whether or not you are interested in her. We women play some very strange games to keep you on your toes you know.

She touches your arm a lot when she talks to you

Some girls are quite flirty in their approach if they like you, and flirting for these girls will mean a lot of physical contact. Sure fire signs she likes you include, putting her hand on your arm when she laughs or throwing playful punches.

Or she may try running away from you instead

Some girls who are shy are unlikely to flirt openly with you, in fact they'll probably do the opposite and go out of their way to avoid you instead. If you do accidentally bump into her she'll probably act very nervous, she might blush or avoid making eye contact and keep conversation to a minimum. So don't think a lack of obvious signs means that she's not interested... she may just be a little shy.

She's always trying to chat to you on social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook

Even if you've been friends with her for years, if she often tries to start friendly conversations with you online then this is another sure sign she's interested in you, especially if the conversation gets a bit flirty. Girls who find it difficult to chat to you in person may hide behind the computer to communicate with you instead, so this is definitely something to watch out for.

She laughs a lot at your jokes... even when they're not that funny

If she's the girl who's laughing hysterically at your jokes when most people couldn't even muster a smile, then she's definitely keen. Girls know that guys like having their egos boosted, and we know that one way to do this is by laughing at your not-so-funny jokes.
