Dating is fun, exciting, and, well, full of curveballs. Between the ghostings, mixed signals, makeouts, it’s tough to know if what you found is true love or infatuation. So, when you do meet someone you like, how do you know they feel the same? Well, here are a few signs that she likes you as more than a friend.

1.You stay up late talking.

When you have some feelings for someone, you can't help texting a lot to her. If you're the last person she talks to before bed, there’s something there. (Hint: it's more than friendship.)

2. She talks about intimacy with you.

There’s flirtation, and then there’s…something deeper. If she talks about sex—what she likes, what she wishes she could find—or even if she makes lighthearted intimate jokes with you, chances are she likes you more than a friend. Talking about sex is very intimate.

3. You know about her family.

Whether you've met them (if you have, that's a sign too), her family is important to her. If she’s opened up about them to you, she probably likes you as more than a friend. A lot of people have complicated relationships with their family, and if she feels comfortable enough with you to tell you about those, she likes you as more than a friend.

4. She tells you.

Of course, this should be obvious, but if she tells you she likes you as more than a friend, believe her. If you want to know—or you like her so much you’re tired of guessing—it’s okay to ask! Game playing isn’t always fun, and it gets old quick. Being direct and clear and intentional is super important.

5. She becomes touchy

Signs a girl likes you more than a friend is she touches you often. Girls love to touch the guy they like and vice versa. It starts from the simple one such as lightly hit your arm while talking or giving a tight hug before you separate. She will make the first move in all of that. Just like how she makes excuses to be along with you, she snatches any opportunities given to touch you.

6. Laughing at your jokes even when it’s not funny

Some jokes are lame and weak that it doesn’t deserve a laugh. But you are an exception for her. She laughs her heart out at every jokes you make even when you think it’s not funny yourself. But she shows that she is rooting for you and want to cheer you up. Even though when you are not joking she will still give her reactions, showing that she is paying attention to what you said.

If you want to know if she likes you as more than a friend, follow these tips, and ultimately, the best thing to do is ask her directly. It matters.
