How can a girl (who has a hard time interpreting things, sorry) tell the difference between a guy just being nice or actually flirting?

if hes trying to look for you in the eye and if hes trying to make you laugh... if hes kinda like showing off... like saying hes smart and gud in stuff... guys usually wont tell that theyre gud except when they really like a girl... and look at his sign language.. if hes trying to get close to you physically...

smile, be yourself, don't act cheesy. by cheesy i mean don't laugh at every single thing he says and don't be fake. but just remember, there really is no need for flirting, just be yourself, no need to seduce someone. if you want them to notice you, BE YOURSELF. if they don't notice what a great person you are, then they're probably not worth it, and you all probably weren't meant to be. and don't chase after guys, let them chase after you. and don't take all this, well what if they're shy crap and they don't like to make the first move.....if they notice how wonderful you are, then they'll take a chance, no matter how nervous they are.

First - Look at there eyes you should be able to tell if they act shifty\nSecond - Look at them with a strait face and ask them if they are lying \nFinally - Ask the guy who asked the one guy to ask you out if he had said that or if he hadn't\n\nP.S. you my want to do the final thing in private so that there is no one to laugh at you

If you like him and enjoy hanging out with him then talk with him and hang out.  Guys are hard to understand and confusing.  Just be honest and mature.  Talk about how you are feeling and explain what you mean so he doesn't take things the wrong way and same goes for you, if he says something that you don't quite understand let him know.  The way I look at things is that if things are meant to happen then they will.  Don't worry, just take it easy.  Best of luck to you!!  :)

Just be you. I dont think that us ladies give guys enough credit as far as being able to see through fake or phonyness. But while being yourself, notice things that are important to him or that interest him. You can only learn what these things are by talking and interacting with them. Good Luck

I know what you mean. It's fun to flirt and joke around, even when you're not serious. He might not even be serious either. I'm friends with a lot of guys that act all flirty and say a lot of suggestive things, but we both know that they don't mean it.\n\nAnd no one's saying you have to do whatever it is he's saying.  You can just be a flirt, and if he asks you out, just say yes or no, but if you say yes, simply say, "Alright, I'll go out with you, but keep your hands to yourself for a while, ok?"

When she tells me.\n\nOf course, actions speak louder than words.  She could tell me she loves me, but if she doesn't act like it, I wouldn't believe her.\n\nBut it's nothing specific.  "Act like it" means she seeks to spend time with me.  She notices my little foibles, but forgives me for them.  She shows at least mild interest in the things I do and seeks to find common interests we can share.\n\nIf you're wondering how to show your man you love him, you're going about it the wrong way.  If you love him, tell him.  Do it when your arms are around him, right before you kiss him.  Don't make it a joke.\n\nAs for taking you for granted... That's one you need to talk to him about.  Don't make it judgmental.  Subtle is good.  Men don't usually get subtle.  If you're subtle enough, he won't think you're accusing him of taking you for granted.  But don't be too subtle or he won't understand that you don't want any guy to take you for granted.\n\nIf that doesn't work, well, communication is the key.  Just always remember that you love him and you don't want to hurt him.  You can say, "I think you're starting to take me for granted, but probably haven't even thought about it."  You're not judging him, you're doing the same as telling him, "Those pants and shirt don't match."

Flirting is just letting someone know that you are interested without saying it out loud

I bet you and I know that no one can give a definite answer to your question since not all girls think alike. It all comes down to what kind of person she is, how long have you known her, etc.\n\nYou need to know her well to determine whether she does have feelings for you or was her advances towards you merely shows that she's being friendly or otherwise. Is she a social kind of person? Does she have a lot of admires? Is she the shy type of girl? Have she ever done this towards her other male friends? All these you need to take into evaluation.\n\nHow often does she sees her boyfriend? Is there any rift going on between them? Does she seem to have any problem with him? Would her advances towards you mean she's regarding you as her platonic boyfriend? You need to know her well in order to understand this body contact you've experienced with her.\n\nI admit that I've done those kind of advances towards my male friends before but only to those whom I regard as close friends and those whom I acknowledge like a brother to me however, I take care not to give them any wrong impression. On the other hand, there were those who regarded my advances as interest. For your information, I've done that to my boyfriend as well.\n\nAs I have said earlier, it is hard to tell whether her advances signifies her interest in you. Try evaluating the questions I gave you. They might clear up your dilemma.\n\nHope you'll find your answer soon.

i cany really give you a perfect answer.. but ill do my best.  im a girl, and when i like a guy i do pretty much what you descibed her doin to you.  now this doesnt mean she likes you 100% because some girls treat all guys like that cuz they are just big flirts..  one idea is when you catch her lookin at you just give her a sexy smile.. shell probly smile back to be polite either way.. but then look at her a minute later and see if she still looks happy.  if she does, you can be pretty sure she likes you.  good luck!! ;)

The only way to find out is get up the courage to ask. It's hard to do, but it's true. Time and time again you'll see similar questions here, and this same answer repeated. You've gotta be willing to risk a little to possibly gain a lot.\n\nSince you seem to doubt your flirting skills and seem a little shy yourself, a little note of some sort might suffice. Something a little provocative, and flattering, but cute and innocent at the same time. Perhaps something along the lines of, "This may sound silly, but I used to have a crush on you, and I'd like to get to know you better. Maybe we can get together sometime and talk about it over dinner?"\nI dunno... Anything's better than living in doubt and wondering about it for the rest of your life, though.

When dealing with girls, it's best to focus on the emotions and "vibe" behind their actions and words, and not so much on the words themselves.\n\nSo if a girl says something to you, or does something, and she does it in a way that seems playful, or if she has a playful vibe about her when she's interacting with you, she's flirting.\n\nAlthough, just because she's flirting with you, that doesn't necessarily mean anything.\n\nYou have to look at the "vibe" behind it all.

First and foremost, take things at face value. Believe none of what you hear and all that you see.\n\nApart from the flirting has he said or done anything to lead you to believe that he's still interested in you?\n\nWhat are the chances for friendship between you two? Could it be that, because you didn't have a 'knock-down, drag-out' break-up he still feels comfortable enough with you to pretend flirt -and isn't really making any moves? Have you ever asked yourself or thought that he might be playing games?\n\nRemember that in situations like this you are in the middle of an epic battle between your brain and your heart (and other parts, too, I'm sure). Question is, what part do you listen to? That's for you to find out. That's part of the adventure of life.
