10 Sure Signs She Likes You in High School
Finding out if someone likes you can be both exciting and confusing, especially in the high school years. Sometimes, the signs are clear, while other times, they can be subtle. Here are 10 sure signs that she might have a crush on you, based on common behavior and interactions.
1. She Always Tries to Be Close to You
Observation: One of the most common signs is when she seeks you out and tends to be in your company often. If she’s always trying to be around you, it could be a sign that she actually cares about your company.
2. She Is Extra Caring When She Sees You
Observation: If she’s extra nice and caring when she sees you, it might not just be friendship. Maybe she’s holding the door open for you, helping you with your backpack, or just making sure you’re doing okay.
3. She Is Always Laughing at Jokes You Tell
Observation: Laughter can sometimes be misleading. While she might laugh at your jokes, be careful. Some people laugh at everything and just go with it. However, if she really is amused by something you say, it’s a good sign!
4. She Breaks the Touch Barrier
Observation: Touching your arm or offering a comforting gesture for no real reason can be a subtle way of showing affection. She might also never let you win in games, just to touch you a bit more.
5. She Keeps Looking At You
Observation: Catching her staring at you can be quite revealing. She might look at you when she thinks you can’t see, or just when you’re talking and laughing with others. This interest may be more than just friendship.
6. She Flirts with You, but Be Cautious
Observation: If she teases or tries to flirt, it could mean she is interested. However, some people flirt to be friendly or simply enjoy the attention. To be sure, ask someone you trust, like a good friend, for their honest opinion.
7. You Are Included in Conversations
Observation: If she always includes you in conversations and finds ways to talk to you more, you might be special to her. It’s not just about her talking to you; it’s about wanting to share her time with you.
8. She Cares About Your Opinions
Observation: When she listens to what you say and actually cares about your opinions, it could be a sign of genuine interest. If she validates your thoughts and feelings, it might lead to an emotional connection.
9. She Is Nice to Your Friends and Family
Observation: Pay attention to how she treats others. If she is nice to your friends and even goes out of her way to make them feel good, it usually means she wants to be around you and your social circle. There’s no better way to show interest than by being kind.
10. Ask Her Directly for Clarity
Observation: Trust your instincts, but confirmation is key. A friend once said, “The one sure-fire way to know if she likes you is simply to ask her.” It’s not a risky move; the worst she could say is no, and then life can go on.
My Personal Experience and Advice from Middle School
While I am currently in middle school, my own experiences show that getting to know someone and showing interest in them are fundamental. If she acts differently around you, it’s a good sign she might like you. If she doesn’t show any of these signs, then there might be other reasons for her behavior. Keep an open mind, and be patient—true connections take time to blossom.
Remember, love is complicated, and it helps to have a support system. Sometimes just talking it out with a close friend can clear things up. Regardless of the outcome, it’s important to stay positive and be yourself. High school is a time for growth and new beginnings!
