Women are complex when it comes to their expression of fondness for you. If she likes you, she may not clearly say that to you. She will rather drop subtle cues for you; if you’re smart enough to pick them up, you will realize that everything she said to you was a code word meant for you to decode and understand her feelings for you.

Here are 15 things she might say if she likes you

There Is Something Different About You

When a woman is attracted to you, she will be dropping hints for you. She may tell you how she finds you different from all the other men she has ever met in life, and that too in a good way. This statement may leave you confused, but if she says it often, it’s aimed to serve a goal, i.e., letting you know of her likeness for you. But, hey, wait! Do check out the rest of the list to see if other signs exist before you assume sheโ€™s in love with you. It’s always wise to play it safe!

What Would You Like To See In A Woman

When a girlfriend suddenly starts asking questions about your choice in women? What do you like in a woman? And other such inquisitive statements. These clearly imply she is interested in you and wants to test the waters to see if sheโ€™s a match for you or to check if you are already in a relationship with someone. The key here is to sense the hint when it’s dropped your way, and if you too like her, you can openly talk about your feelings to her. Research says that less than 30 percent of people accurately detect such cues, so do not make this mistake and grab the opportunity if it arises.

I Could Really Use Some Help With This

Women in love usually love the idea of spending as much time with you as possible. They may call or text you, saying they need help. With even a very simple task, if youโ€™re observant. The point of seeking your help is only to stay closer and longer with you. At some point, you may find her including you casually in her future plans and goals as well. This is your sign to tell her how you feel about her, too.

You Always Make Me Laugh

Have you ever noticed how her pupils dilate when she sees you? Is there a visible nervousness in her speech as she talks to you? Or the constant smile she puts on her face while you are around? Those are the subtle signs that she is drawn towards your personality. She may even tell you how you have the ability to always put a smile on her face, no matter how down sheโ€™s feeling.

I Was Just Thinking About You

Has your woman ever told you, when you met her all of a sudden or even in response to a simple text you had sent, that she was just thinking about you when your text or call came in? She’s revealing her deepest thoughts to you; that is, she thinks about you all the time. The ball is now in your court; you may accept the love expression or not! If you want to send her a positive signal, tell her sheโ€™s been on your mind, too.

I Donโ€™t Usually Open Up To People Like This

A woman who is interested in you may share her most personal details and tell you that she does not tell these to everyone, but she feels safe sharing her secrets with you. This is, in my view, so far the greatest cue she would drop. When a woman starts feeling secure around you, it shows she has let down her guard for you and is open to taking things forward with you. She sees you as her potential life partner she can always confide in.

I Wish You Were Here With Me

A girl is head over heels in love with you when, during her happiest moments with friends or family or any significant life event, she does not forget to text or call you, telling you how badly she wishes you were with her. She genuinely wants to share her life with you, which shows she connects with you on a deeper level; itโ€™s not just romantic attraction. The most respectful way to advance from here is to reassure her by telling her you miss being with her, too.

You Always Look So Put-Together

The woman who falls in love with you finds you the most charismatic human on earth. She may tell you how you make everything look good or how impressed she is by your style. These are not mere words of admiration; she’s laying her heart bare to you, making sure you know how she feels attracted towards you.

The Woman Who Will Marry You Will Be So Lucky

A woman may not tell you she wants to marry you straight away, but she may frequently tell you how she envies the woman who will become your wife and how lucky your future wife is to get her hands on the most eligible bachelor in town. Itโ€™s her way of making you think of her and reciprocate by sharing your feelings with her, to see if she stands a chance or not.

Why Arenโ€™t You Married Yet

Men who are handsome, eloquent, graceful, and settled in their careers are tough finds. When a woman sees all these qualities in you, she finds it incredulous how a man who she sees as a full package is still single. To clear her doubts, she may ask you why you are still single. I remember Dakota Johnson asking Pedro Pascal in โ€œMaterialistsโ€ why he was still single despite possessing the traits of the most desirable bachelor. Women in real life are like that, too. Sheโ€™s in disbelief at how someone like you is still single and would want to understand the why before she expresses her liking.

How About We Go Out More Often

If she truly loves your company, she may ask you about your next hangout after every hangout. She is addicted to your presence.

I Admire Your Dedication

She may not just drop flirty texts; she may truly admire the way you conduct yourself, the way you strive to excel in your career, and the way you are so passionate about self-growth. And will make sure to let you know about her admiration for you.

I Feel Like We Are More Than Friends

When a woman finds you a perfect match for her, she might as well let you know. She will tell you she feels you both share an unmatchable chemistry and would make a perfect couple. She may start by telling you in a subtle way how she feels there is something special about you, but the deeper meaning is her desire to be the love of your life.

I Feel So Comfortable Talking To You

A woman may show her interest in you by staying in constant contact with you, sharing every detail of her day. She feels at ease talking to you and loves how every conversation with you feels like therapy.

You Are So Considerate

Women fall for empathetic men because they see in them the capacity to be great life partners and future fathers. If your woman has told you how your kindness and mannerisms melt her heart, she is hinting at her desire and love for you.

Final Thoughts

Women, despite being labeled complicated to understand, have the easiest way of expressing their thoughts, admiration, and desire for you. From frequent check-ins, acts of care, and words of praise to direct proposals, they can do it all. Once a woman reaches the point where she feels comfortable and safe in your company, she may start dropping hints of her interest in you, leaving the rest to you, whether you are willing to recognize them or not.
