7. The Little Things Are Big
When she wants to be by your side when doing even the most mundane tasks, she likes you. She’s happy going to the laundromat, the grocery store, or sitting with you when you both are reading. When being with you for no reason other than being there happens, you’ve reached new heights.
8. Compliments
She gives you genuine compliments, and not always about the way you look. Still, it’s good to know that if she likes you, she will tell you are looking good even when you aren’t to anyone else!
9. Casual Touching
Both men and women show little physical signs of affection when they’ve found someone they like. So, pay attention to these physical signs she’s into you.
Whether she’s brushing against your arm or resting her hand on your knee, that kind of casual touching is undoubtedly a message that she likes you big time.
10. Glances
If her glances meet with your glances and your eyes lock often, get the picture, please. Smiling and exchanging looks are how relationships begin. You’ll know it when you feel it.
11. Mirroring
Sometimes subconsciously, or sometimes deliberately, the person you are with will start acting like you, or taking the same position, or posture. This phenomenon is called mirroring, and in many cases it means the person talking to you likes you.
The American Psychological Association says a newly discovered type of neuron, called a mirror neuron, responds equally when we perform an action and when we witness someone else experiencing the same activity. Cool, right?
12. Trying New Things
If a person feels a connection, she is likely to give new things a try. If she’s comfortable with you and enjoys your company, she is going to hang around for at least another date! Relationships are all about growth and experience, so see this as a very positive signal.
Things to Remember
We all know that our bodies usually let us know how we are feeling, sometimes before we even know it in our brain. Humans are also adept at sending messages to another person even when we don’t know we are doing so.
