Drop Hints to a Girl That You Like Her

Having trouble letting her know you like her? Nervous? Confused? Or just plain unsure? Well, telling a girl you like her can be a very difficult thing to do. Especially when you really like her. Hopefully with the right moves, you'll be able to let her know in a more subtle way. But be warned: Each girl is different, you'll have to learn more about her before you can really know what she'll respond to.

Steps

  1. Get to know her. If you don't know anything about her, how can you know what she likes? You can start by just talking to her. If you're brave enough to go up and talk to her, find a casual way to say something to her, such as leaning over during class and complaining about the homework. If you're on the shyer side, when you see her in class, make a funny face. She'll laugh or ask you what you're doing. If she does, start a conversation. Ask her for help with a problem, what her answer was, or even just start complaining about a teacher. Ask her what her next class is. Tell her that you can't wait until school is over because you have baseball, or you're going to a game. Then ask about her. What's she doing? Anything good? Girls love to talk about themselves, and she'll like it if you seem interested about what she's saying.
  2. Look and smell the part. In order to make a good first impression on a girl, you need to look and smell good. It's pretty embarrassing for a girl to hang out with a guy who smells like sweat all the time, so clean yourself up and take care of yourself. Wash your hair, keep a clean appearance, and use deodorant! Sweating isn't bad, but you don't want to smell! If you want to add something extra, wear some cologne. Remember not to put too much on, though, otherwise you'll smell just as bad! Brush your teeth, wear clean clothes, and brush your hair. If you have bad skin, there is no shame in going to see a dermatologist (skin doctor). Most girls aren't shallow enough to care only about your looks, but remember that looking nice will increase the chance that she'll like you back. If she's only focused on how you look, she probably has problems with herself.
  3. Smile. If you constantly look like you want to bite someone's head off, it isn't too appealing to girls. Smile at her! You'll come off as a really friendly guy who's approachable and fun to be with. This is a great thing to do, especially if you're a shy person, because she can't get mad at you for smiling! She'll appreciate your effort to be nice, and she'll probably smile back at you! Make sure that you're smile looks genuine, however, and not perverted.
  4. Treat her nicely. No girl is going to like you if you say that she's ugly, annoying, fat, etc. Most girls are really hurt by that, and they'll hate you big time if they hear you saying stuff like that about her. However, don't go around throwing compliments at her left and right. She'll either think that you're creepy, or that you're just saying things. Pick key times to compliment her, such as when she gets a new haircut. If you're going to compliment her on her appearance, be very careful. You don't want to come off as sarcastic, perverted, or just plain weird. If you're going to say something, make it genuine, even if it's something simple, like saying that she has cool shoes or looks nice.
  5. Flirt . This is a major part in dropping hints. If you're a more shy person or you know she isn't very flirty, use caution. Make all flirting light and humorous. Crack a joke! Even if it's lame, she'll laugh at the attempt and will usually find it to be cute. If you aren't sure how to flirt, then pay attention to what she's doing and how she reacts. Make eye contact, smile, and if you're brave, wink. But this can come off as pretty creepy. You want to make sure you know the girl if you are going to wink, or she'll just think that you're another desperate guy who is trying to get her attention. To really flirt, you have to break the touch barrier. Try to be playful and hold her hands or arm even if you're just friends. This is a great way to flirt without making it noticeable to other people, but she'll get what you're doing.
  6. Pay attention to the Touch Barrier: How does she react when you touch her hand? What about when you bump knees, bump into her, or even just give her a high-five? If she's smiling or looks happy, try to do these things more often. If you really want to be able to make a move on her, give her a hug when you see her. Many girls will want to hug you back, but they're too shy to make the first move. However, this may not be the case. Does she awkwardly hug back? Maybe she isn't used to attention from guys, but at least she hugged you. If you're helping her with something, see how close you can get before she moves away. Don't keep pushing, though, as she might not understand what you're doing. Remember, don't get too close! If you're all up in her face, or are constantly touching her, she'll think that you're more creepy than cute. Just lightly touching her arm when about to talk could light up her day.
  7. Keep giving her attention. Make her feel like she's the only one that matters. Don't talk to her about the same old things ("How was your day?" "Do you have lots of homework?" etc.) Not only does she hear those things all the time, but she probably hears them from her parents! Find something interesting to talk to her about. However, don't concentrate on her too much, because she'll notice. Don't stare at her every second, or spend every minute of the day with her, because you'll come off as really clingy. Find the perfect balance and make her feel like her opinion matters. And if you disagree, tease her lightly for it and make a joke out of it. Make sure that you are being sweet about it though, as some girls may just think that you are dissing their opinion or are being sexist.
  8. Give her a nickname. Girls love it when you give them a nickname based on their actual name. (i.e. Julia/Julie - "Jules", Emily/Emma - "Em", Stacey - "Stace", Megan - "Meg", Margaret - "Mag/Maggie") Get creative and come up with names like "Claire Bear" or "(for Meg) Megaroni and Cheese". Just don't use it 24/7, or it'll lose it's meaning. Nicknames are also a key ingredient to gain her trust when you genuinely mean something and she doesn't believe you. For example, Her: "I hate my life" You: "What happened?" Her: "Just everything, I can't deal with anything" You: "Don't worry, I'm always here for you, you can tell me anything." Her: "Really?" You: "I wouldn't lie to you, Em." So when she's in desperate need of support, you can use your special name for her so she knows you honestly care for her well-being. Coming up with a nickname makes her:
    • Know she's important to you,
    • More comfortable,
    • Closer to you as a friend, which will all translate extremely well to the boyfriend stage.
  9. Take the initiative. If you're not seeing progress, then she might only consider you as a friend. Most girls aren't going to come right out and say they like you. If you can get her number, text her. An easy way to do this is to simply ask if she has a phone. If she says yes, then ask her for her number. If she asks why, give her a cute smile and say that you want to be able to talk and text her. Talk to her and become better friends. If you become a close friend then she will most definitely consider liking you. If you hear her talking about you a lot, this is a good sign. It means that she's thinking about you, and you can't be a big part of her life without her ever thinking about you.
  10. Ask her out (not applicable to everyone, as some don't have the freedom to do so). Even if you just invite her out with a group of friends, include her! She'll appreciate the effort and you might be able to show her your feelings better. When you're out with friends, just throw an arm around her casually. If she responds well, just ask her out.
  11. Know when to give her space. No matter how sweet and cute you may think you are being, some girls just won't give you any hints that they like you back. Keep trying, but do NOT get pushy. Girls don't like this at all. If this happens, just give her some space. For all you know, she could be very confused about you. She might like you, but be scared to admit it to you, her friends, or even herself. She might be scared about ruining your friendship. Don't panic if this happens. Just smile and let her know that you still like her. In time, she will probably start to like you in return.

Tips

  • Respect her. It'll make her feel much better and she'll respect you as well.
  • Be funny. Girls love when a guy has a sense of humor.
  • Don't feel bad if she doesn't respond immediately. She might be trying to figure things out.
  • If she tries to show you she likes you, be careful. Girls "hints" can be very confusing and you might pick up on the wrong things.
  • Girls absolutely love it when they find out that a guy likes them back! So take a chance and tell her.
  • Be your own natural self.
  • Have fun! This shouldn't be a serious relationship! You have plenty of time to act older, but for now, enjoy the innocence.
  • If you want to find out if the girl you like likes you too, make her tell you. For example, you could say, "Look, [insert name here]. I like you, and I want to know if you like me too." This way, she feels more welcome to tell you if she likes you back. If you just tell her that you like her, it's awkward to her to just say, "I like you too." It may not seem hard, but it is.
  • She probably likes you even if she doesn't say it. Some girls close up when they don't know what to do.
  • Be prepared for rejection. If she says no, reply with, "Okay, no harm done. Maybe another time" and leave.
  • Ask her friends about her! Her friends know her best, and they can tell you about her, what she likes to do, her favourite food, etc. If you ask her friends about her, her friends will most likely tell her that you were asking about her, which is one of the biggest hints she can get.
  • If you are at the best friend stage, where you constantly talk, and know them probably way better than you know how to write your own name, good job! Next step, take a chance. Its up to you to get you out of the best friend zone, and into the best couple zone. You can bet her friends say you both are destined to be together since you are like an old married couple (but don't always fight like one) make the move, she won't because she might think you're perfectly content with the best friend zone. Ask yourself this: Does she ever talk to you about other boys? Do you notice if she texts other boys when you see her on her phone? (Don't snoop though!) Do you notice her looking at you different like you have been looking at her different? If you answered "No. No. Yes." You're totally in business. If it doesn't work out, why would that keep you guys from being best friends still you probably have had many awkward moments. Good luck!
  • Make sure that she can identify that you're hinting to her.
  • If she doesn't understand what you're trying to do, don't stress. You might just have to come out and say, "I really like you"
  • Don't flirt with other girls. It might make your real crush jealous.
  • People become much more appealing if they are funny. Make her laugh!
  • Try not to make rude jokes because not all girls will find them funny.
  • If you ask a girl to a school event or anywhere else and she says maybe don't bug her about it. This will make you seem desperate and make her annoyed. **Give her gifts on her birthday or special day this will give her a hint that you like her.
    • Don't shower her with gifts but make it special. Make the gift meaningful, take the time to ask her questions like, “What's your favorite candy bar?" Or "Do you like stuffed animals?" This will make her seem special to you.
  • Talk to your crush about her interests to show that you are interested in her and what she likes.
  • Let her be a priority not an option.
  • Throwing hints is a great way to see how she responds, but remember that in the end, it's up to you to ask her if she wants to date, especially if she's shy or has little or no experience with things like this.
  • Don't try to make her jealous. Sometimes it causes drama.

Warnings

  • If you're giving her a nickname, be careful which one you choose. Never use nicknames like hottie, sexy mama, etc.
  • Know her status. It's terrible when you drop your interested hints and she already has a boyfriend.
  • While you're trying to drop hints to her, don't flirt with other girls! You don't want her to see you flirting with someone else, because she'll lose her feelings for you and think that you're a player.
  • If you can trust one of her friends enough to ask for advice, go for it. But be warned, you might not always get the truth, so use common sense every once in a while
  • It might not work out. Even if you get the girl. Don't feel forced to stay. If you're going to move on, have a clean break. No grudges.
  • If you have your first disagreement in the friend zone rather than while dating, the better. That way you can learn the answer to important questions like "Is this girl easily offended? Do I want to walk on eggshells for our whole relationship until I mess up?" "Does this girl forgive?" Also you'll learn how to solve tension between the two of you early in minor issues before you enter a romantic relationship and you risk feelings getting hurt and hearts broken in the future, let alone valuable friendships lost.
  • Sometimes, if you wait too long before telling her you like her, she'll reject you because she only sees you as a friend.
  • Girls love it when you get a little physical(not like that..) with them. Meaning, if you talk enough that it wouldn't be weird, playfully hit her on the shoulder but smile when you do it and act all innocent. Chances are, she'll do it back. Grab her hand and hold it just long enough where she'll notice. And look her in the eyes when you do it! She'll definitely think about you for a while after that. But don't make it creepy — 2 or 3 seconds is plenty.
  • Facebook can turn everything bad. Talk to her in person about important things. Wall posts are shared with everyone.
  • If you're asking her friends about her, don't ask them directly if she likes you. They probably won't tell you anyway.
  • Don't believe any rumors. Only believe what she tells you herself.
