Nothing ruins a relationship like a misguided romantic gesture towards a girl you're friends with.

You probably don’t want to get a surprised look or a cold “no” in response. To change the dynamics of your relationship in time, you need to be sure that you’re not the only one in love with your friend—she must be, too.

Here are seven signs that she wants to be more than just friends—signs you should pay attention to before confessing your feelings.

She Flirts Subtly

Friends often joke with each other, but there are moments when humor turns into subtle and gentle flirting. If you notice that she tries to catch your attention, smiles, winks, or touches you occasionally, she might be hinting at her feelings.

Her Interest in You Intensifies

It's normal for friends to ask each other questions and show interest. However, there is a fine line between a girl asking questions as a friend and when she’s interested in you as a potential partner. She might start asking more personal questions about your life and relationships. If she shows signs of jealousy when you talk about other girls, this could be a clear indicator that she sees you as more than just a friend.

She Mimics You

Have you noticed that she starts using the same slang as you or mimicking your mannerisms? Imitation is a way to become closer to someone you genuinely like. If she’s copying your behavior, it’s a sign that she’s seriously interested in you.

She Can’t Stop Looking at You

Another sign that she likes you romantically is prolonged eye contact. She might keep her eyes on you while you’re having a casual conversation. We subconsciously stare at those we’re attracted to, often without even realizing it.

She Invests in Your Well-being

If she used to wish you a good time when you went out late, but now she advises you not to stay out too late or drink too much, this could indicate that she cares about you in a new way. She’s becoming more emotionally involved in your life because she has feelings for you.

She’s Interested in Your Family and Friends

friend who genuinely cares about you will also care about the people in your life: your family, other friends, relatives, and so on. But a girl
who wants to be more than just a “buddy” will do more. She might remember your family members’ birthdays, casually join you for family dinners, or give New Year’s gifts to your friends. This increased interest is often a reflection of deep emotional attachment.

You Make Her Feel Self-Conscious

Maybe you were so close that you didn’t mind eating in front of each other, appearing in less-than-ideal conditions, or sending funny selfies. But if she’s falling for you, she’ll start acting differently. She’ll feel uneasy when she’s not at her best, paying more attention to her manners and appearance. She might get nervous and want to make the best impression, not as a friend but as a romantic interest. If she suddenly blushes when you compliment her or becomes flustered when you touch her, it’s a clear sign she wants to be more than just a friend.
