How do I know if a girl secretly likes me? Are there any subtle tells?

No, not really. Women try to maintain plausible deniability. If she's actually attracted to you it will be pretty blatant.

>>38220443
Do you interact often? Does she talk to you or anything? You're not giving us much to go off

>>38220507
How will it be blatant? I've always assumed no woman has ever been interested in me

Here's a questionnaire

>Do you visit this board regularly?
>Are you overweight?
>Do you watch more that two animes regularly?

If the answer to any of those questions was yes then the answer to yours is probably no. Sorry man

>>38220443
If she makes excuses to touch you or if she laughs at your jokes there's a good chance she likes you. Smiling at you and making eye contact is another sign.

>>38220443
you'll know if you know

like is diff from love

>>38220536
>I've always assumed no woman has ever been interested in me
I had this too, and in the past 4 months, 2 girls have admitted they like me...
>>38220568
is right, especially the laughing at jokes part. Some girls are just too shy to touch though.

in the end you never really know until you talk to them.

Is there any way to cultivate the sort of environment where a girl will come out and tell you she likes you? I rarely see girls my age, and only at the grocery store I work at occasionally. This doesn't seem like the environment for it but I don't have the capacity to go out and talk to chicks

>>38220666
Mate, you are talking to the wrong person. I was a KHV until 23, and just very very recently lost my virginity.
However, I too was in an environment deprived of females (my uni class had literally 0 females). The ways I met the girl was with a student team, and with project work with a different study. The thing is I suppose, you just have to stand out from the others (in a good way) so that the limited amount of girls you do meet, would like to know more about you.

I'd say maybe to increase the amount of females you meet, check out some fun activities that you could do to meet new people. I'd suggest meetup.com.

>>38220748
Eh, thanks anyhow mate. I don't have it in me, even as nice as it would be to have a gf, to pursue females. If it happens, it happens, but it makes me sad sometimes that I've missed out on being loved by someone who isn't family.

Oh well. Good luck

>>38220536
>no woman has ever been interested in me
it's probably true

>>38220797
>If it happens, it happens, but it makes me sad sometimes that I've missed out on being loved by someone who isn't family.
This was exactly what I did for those 23 years. But as soon as you meet a female somewhere (where you both have something in common) and start talking, it will come. But you do have to put in the effort to talk to them at the very least, and dont worry, I found out that they are apparently also sort of like normal human beings.

>>38220831
I don't doubt it. I just wanted some assurance.

>>38220863
oh yeah one final thing to note, they always make themselves look far more confident than they really are, they are super good at that. I think almost all of them have huge insecurities.

Assurance nobody likes you? You've come to the right place.

>>38220443
A pretty common one is that she seems especially sensitive about what you think about her more than others. Women get unusually happy when someone they like compliments them, and they take it unusually hard if their crush teases them.

>>38220998
Assurance because it's the only social feed back I get

>talking with younger sister
>I mention old friend
>a really hot old friend
>"Oh yeah, she was the one who liked you, yeah?"
>wut
>"Yeah, she made it pretty obvious"
>"Remember that time she recommended you all that music?"
>I do
>"You didn't notice they were all love songs?"
>"she just figured you weren't interested"
>fuck
Any attention I get from women I immediately attribute to them just being nice and trying to not treat me like shit. After all, someone would need severe head trauma to want to be with me. It serves me well in 99.999-% of the time, but this hurt.

I just dont know lads...

Ask that biatch out. Just say,
"Do you want to go get (lunch, dinner, coffee) with me?" Stress the "with me" just a tad. If she says yes ask her out over food. If no, DO NOT SPERG. Don't take it personally, don't try to act cool. Look a little disappointed and say "Well, alright. See you around."
Minimum awkward.

>>38222114
To elaborate, you're not asking her on a date the first time. Ask her out "for real" after lunch/dinner/coffee. Dinner might be a little formal, I only do that when I'm on a longer shift, like a denny's or an Applebees, but not an actual fast-food joint

Well, shit.
It seems that i attracted a few girls when i was younger and i never realised, i guess that i'm beyond being a dense motherfucker.

Thanks m8, I'm just worried that my lack of conversational skill will fuck me over one-on-one. I guess that's what has always worried me. It's not even just girls, I struggle to make conversation with anyone.
