Dating : 5 Signs a Girl Is Jealous and Likes You

In today’s world, there are lots of things that are confusing. Some of these might include calculus, quantum physics, and girls. Hear me out guys can be just as confusing, but today we are going to talk about how we can figure out why that particular girl in your life is acting strange. There could be many reasons why someone could change their behavior around you, but all of these reasons revolve around how that person feels. Does she like you? Is she mad about something you did or said? How do you know? Chances are, we have a mix of the lovey-dovey feels and the big green-eyed monster (jealousy) in our midst. Here are 5 sure signs that a girl is jealous and likes you.

A girl who likes you will probably talk to you often and, if she does, you’ll tell each other different things about your lives. When you make a boo-boo and end up talking to her about another girl, even if that other person is truly just a friend, you’ll immediately notice that she changes her mood. She might answer you in shorter responses, be sarcastic, or even stop talking altogether. Maybe she continues to speak to you normally, but her tone or facial expressions become more serious. When you ask her what’s wrong, and she responds with, “I’m fine.” Listen to me, and listen good. There is no such thing as fine. If she says she is fine, she is not fine. If she says she is fine, you did something wrong! “Why?” you may ask. Because if you are talking about another girl, she is scared that you have feelings for that other person. And here enters the green-eyed monster called jealousy.

Not touch you in “that way”! Get your mind out of the gutter! Maybe it’s at school or hanging out with friends, but no matter where you are if you two are in the same room, she seems to always be standing near you. She laughs extra loudly at your jokes and might use that excuse to playfully touch your arm. Maybe she hugs you in front of others to say hi, even if you just saw each other a little bit ago. If you’re in a room full of people and someone says to partner up, she’ll be next to you faster than you can blink. Something in your hair? Not anymore, because this girl will get it out and even use this as an excuse to play with that perfect edged-up haircut of yours. There might be five seats open, but she always and quickly chooses to sit next to you. All of these things happen at an even higher frequency when you’re in front of other people. This is a combination of her attraction to you and a way to prove a point to other girls in the same social circle. Without words, she is saying “This guy is mine. The spot next to him is taken. He’s not available, move on please.”

This can be on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitter, you name it. Where ever you appear on social media, this girl seems to be the first to support whatever you upload. While this seems like a friendly gesture, she is also marking her territory. Other people will immediately notice the comments and likes of that same girl on all of your posts, and this sets up the idea that maybe you two have something together. The girl is both fueling and defending her jealousy by keeping track of other girls on your social media while making sure that no one else can get close to you without knowing she is right around the corner. Don’t worry, this usually isn’t stalker-territory. We’ve all been guilty of turning into an FBI agent to check out a profile or two. In fact, don’t take this too negatively at all this girl really likes you, and is just waiting for her moment to show you she might be the one for you!

Then all of a sudden, she starts talking to you about this other guy, or even parading around with him in front of you. But, when you two talk or are together, she still seems to always put you first. Wait, say what? So, who’s this other guy? What’s up with that? That, my friend, is the jealousy game. This girl has gotten tired of seeing you hanging out and not committing to her, so she is trying to give you a taste of your own medicine. She isn’t actually happy by doing this. What she really wants is for you to feel the same thing she is feeling jealousy. She’s hoping you will tell her that you’re jealous and that you two will finally be able to talk about your attraction for one another. While the jealousy game isn’t the most mature plan of action, this girl has definitely fallen hard for you, and she’s using all the moves she knows to try and push you both together.

What did you do today? Who did you go with? What movie are you going to see? Is anyone going with you? What did you think about what she said? Any plans this weekend? Phew, hold on a second. Are you being interrogated? Nah. You are listening to “Sign Number 5”. We all know that when we vibe with someone, we become interested in knowing more about them and their lives. This is natural. But where is the line between that having a natural flow of conversation and being a secret spy seeking excessive amounts of information? The limit is a combination of how many and what type of questions are being asked. If homegirl is throwing you more questions than comments, she is crossing the line from casual friend to something more than a friend. Now, if those 100 million questions are also super-focused on you, your movements, and your social circle. We have a clear-cut sign that this girl is jealous and likes you. This lovely girl will not “find you and torture you” but she will seek out all sources of information to make sure that she hasn’t lost you to another girl. A territorial lioness, if you will.

There you have it, folks. Five clear cut signs that a girl likes you and is jealous about it. While it’s obvious that jealousy is definitely NOT a cute quality in a relationship, it’s important to remember that this girl is acting this way because she doesn’t have the confirmation that you like her too. If you do feel the same way towards her, it’s likely that you two could date and she would end up being a trusting and confident girlfriend. If she’s working so hard to keep you close as a friend, just imagine the effort she would put forth into a real relationship. but that’s something you won’t know until you try it out. So, if you’re feeling this girl and seeing the signs, shoot for the moon. Or, should I say, shoot your shot! So that’s 5 signs a girl is jealous and likes you.
