Sometimes
it’s hard to know if a girl is sending you signals to ask her out, or if she is
just friendly, or is actually obsessed with your friend, or what. But watch
closely for these cues, because if she’s throwing them at you, it means she’s
probably hoping you ask her out.
So just work up the courage to do it and do it.
Godspeed!
1. She
starts liking something random you like after you mentioned you liked
it. Oh,
what’s that? She likes Neko Case all of the sudden?
Wowza, what a huge coincidence. She knows all about the Manchester United game
even though two days ago she knew shit about soccer? Holy smokes. She knows all
about the new Kid Cudi album that just dropped after you were just saying how
excited you were about it? Yeah, these aren’t coincidences, so don’t overlook
them. Don’t make her feel dumb by saying, “Oh please you said you hate
soccer!”
Follow her lead. Let her brag about her new knowledge.
Teach her something new. Plan a date around it. Because you’re definitely going
to want to ask her out.
2. She
touches your arm a lot. Sorry, it’s all we’ve got, guys. We want to
touch you but many places seem off limits. Touching your face would make us feel
like we are in a Hallmark commercial, touching your chest would make us feel
like we were in a Lifetime movie, and touching your junk would make us feel like
we were in a P0*no. Basically, that leaves the arm. So we touch it a lot if we
are interested. If you can think of something better let us
know.
3. She
laughs at everything you say. Yeah, even when you aren’t really saying
anything that funny. Sorry. It’s something we can’t help and we probably aren’t
proud of. It’s not that we are faking it, we are just really giddy to be around
you if we have a crush on you. So everything seems a little lighter, a little
more fun, and a little more likely to make us bust our gut or snort or… I’m just
not going to say it.
4. She
keeps asking you to do the most odd, un-relationships things. If she
keeps asking you to do non-date things, like going to weird comedy shows that
are sort of far away or going to her brother’s baseball game or feeding the
neighbor’s cat, she is doing the dance of doing absolutely everything except for
asking you out on a real date. So why don’t you do everyone a favor and ask her
out? You both will have a better time doing something other than working her
hectic charity event or helping her move.
5. She
sends you mail. Real mail. She had to get paper and a writing device —
which are increasingly becoming hard to come by. She had to write with her
handwriting, which she hardly does anymore. She put way more thought into her
words since she wasn’t just shooting them out on her keyboard. And she licked
and sealed the envelope. That is love. Or at least mega-like. Ask her out, for
goodness sake.
6. She
always wants to be in pictures with you. Are there a disproportionate
amount of pictures of you with her than with other people? Especially guys? She
wants be be part of your life. She wants to show you off. She wants you to
remember her. She is inserting herself into your life in the only way she can
without asking you out.
She has agreed to do anything you have suggested so
far. If you’re asking her to do anything with a group of friends or anything
non-datey, and you hardly have to finish the question “Do you want to go rock
climb…” or “Do you want to grab a bee…” before she says yes, she’d rather be
doing these things as your girlfriend.
Especially if she says it like it’s not even a
question. Of course she will! With gusto, she’ll be there with bells on! She’s
psyched about anything because you will be there.
8. She
hasn’t mentioned any other guys in your presence. That’s because she’s
not thinking of any other guys. And she won’t even bring up friend boys, because
she doesn’t want you to assume they are boyfriends.
9. She
brings you something when you’re sick or similarly cooks you anything
ever. Yeah, she’s showing you her nurturing side. It’s not because
she’s filling some gender role, she’s just seizing the opportunity to be sweet.
It’s an easy in to make you a casserole or drop by with some ginger
ale.
10. You
have met her friends and they seem surprisingly psyched to meet
you. They are already excited to see you and already know what you do
because they have heard about you. In fact, they might be sick of you. They
might be thinking, “Will you just ask her out already?” So go ahead and do
it.
