It means she\u2019s interested enough to notice and cares enough to tell you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>She finds reasons to interact.<\/strong> If she wants to see you or talk with you, she\u2019ll find an excuse. Why not help her out by making yourself available at the bus stop or in the hall?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>She holds conversations.<\/strong> She\u2019ll start chatting casually with you. She\u2019ll ask open-ended questions to learn more about you and keep you engaged. It means she enjoys being around you and wants to know you better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>She keeps eye contact.<\/strong> If she does this, it means that you\u2019re the most interesting thing in the room.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>She smiles at you.<\/strong> People smile at things we like.

She doesn\u2019t sit sideways or adopt defensive postures like crossed arms or legs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>She makes casual contact.<\/strong> She touches your shoulder or hand as part of conversation. She adjusts your collar for you. She even saves you from some stray lint on your sleeve. Physical contact, especially interpersonal grooming, are near-universal signs of affection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>She laughs at your jokes.<\/strong> Even the bad ones. <em>Especially<\/em> the bad ones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>She plays with her hair.<\/strong> Maybe she\u2019s nervous about talking to someone she likes. Maybe she\u2019s worried her hair is messy. Whatever the cause, a woman who touches her hair is a woman concerned about the impression she\u2019s making on you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>She looks at you when you\u2019re not interacting.<\/strong> The eye is the only sensory organ connected directly to the brain. As a result, humans take great pleasure in visually appealing things like art, architecture, and attractive people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>She texts you frequently.<\/strong> It means that, even when you\u2019re apart, you\u2019re on her mind. Whatever she\u2019s doing, she finds it less interesting than interacting with you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>She invites you somewhere.<\/strong> An invitation means she wants to see you outside your normal sphere of interaction.

In certain cases, avoiding eye contact can be as significant as maintaining it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>She\u2019s nervous in conversation.<\/strong> Some women feel intimidated or inadequate around people they\u2019re attracted to. Nervousness may be a sign that she\u2019s concerned with the impression she\u2019s making. She&#8217;s usually confident, but with you around, she turns into an <a href=\"https:\/\/derekrake.com\/blog\/insecure-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insecure woman<\/a>. <em>This is a &#8220;Baseline Deviation&#8221;.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>In a group, she looks at you first while laughing at a joke.<\/strong> Even when someone else made the joke, her eyes are on you.
