22. A million and a half signs.

“Disclaimer: every girl is different.

Observe her “baseline behavior” and see if she has deviations from that behavior.

Girls prefer to “create opportunities” for the guy to make a move, rather than make a move herself. These are clues, not confirmation. The real answer is to ask her out.

Here’s a list I’ve shared before (subtle to blatant):

• She says compliments like, “Hey, I like your shirt.” If she keeps walking, no go. If she stays to chat? Stop, talk to her and get her phone number. It’s a common piece of dating advice in women’s magazines to say something like that to guys. The problem is, men assume the girl likes their clothes, not likes them.

• She asks what kind of girls you like, who you have a crush on, your relationship status, says you could get any girl you want, etc.

• She asks what clothes you think look sexy, hairstyles, etc. Sends you photos of herself in outfits to get your opinion. Green flag: you tell her, and she dresses that way. Or she changes her hairstyle based on your preference. If she doesn’t change fashion but her friend does, she was a wingwoman to gather info for her friend to date you.

• “Friendly Inquisition”—her friend(s) ask, “What do you think of [girl’s name]?” “Is she your type?” “Would you go out with her?” She sent them as spies. Variation: her friend calls and asks. The girl is on the line too, listening to what you’ll say.

• She comes up with excuses to hang out together alone, e.g. homework, studying, working on a project, etc. But she spends more time flirting with you and asking personal questions. Green flag if you’re not even in the same classes or she does not need help studying.

• She asks you to help her with easy stuff. Key is she’s over-the-top grateful and doesn’t want you to leave.

• She’s always “around.” When you arrive at class, when you leave class, at the coffee shop you like, when you’re at an event, etc.

• She’s gotten off work and has no reason to stay. You’re the reason she wants to stay. If she’s at work but says when she gets off work–she wants to hang out with you after.
