If She Does These Things While Texting, She Likes You
So, you got someone's number and embarked on that journey of getting to know one another by text messaging.
These aren't just any texts—no, these messages can't be lacking in any way. One misuse of "there," "they're," or "their," and your game is over. We're here to help you understand the signals being sent when getting to know someone over text.
Like, if she tells you she's going to sleep, and later you see a "who's up?" post on her story, that's a clear sign she's not into you. Let's dive into the rest now.
Does She Send You Selfies?
If you're in the early stages and she sends you selfies, that's a great sign she's warming up to you.
That means you should continue doing what you're doing and gradually turn up the heat. Bonus points if she's at the pool in these pictures.
Sending You All The Memes
This should go without saying, but if she's sending you memes, you're in there. It means that she's having a good laugh and wants you to laugh and get to know her humor too.
She Wants To Hang Out
If the texts go over well, she will eventually want to see you in person. Don't ask immediately, but when you do, if she says yes, then you're on the path to success.
She Apologizes
If you're in the middle of a texting conversation and she goes cold for longer than usual, don't worry yet. Usually, when she likes you, she'll return explaining why she took so long to reply with an added "I'm sorry!" for good measure.
Wanting To Talk On The Phone
Texting is fun and everything, but it gets old quickly. If she is okay with talking on the phone—or better yet, initiates it—her comfort level is in a good place.
Laughing At Your Jokes Is A Clear Sign
Let's face it, you're no Jerry Seinfeld. If she's replying to your jokes with laughs, you're winning. We're not saying you aren't funny, but 11 laughing emojis is a little extra for her not to like you.
She Sends The First Text
This could mean nothing, but most times it means something. After the date ends and you go your separate ways, someone texts first. It's usually the one thinking of the other person more and eager to talk.
Is She Texting You At Work?
There are only so many things she can give her attention to while she's working. If she's texting you when she's on the clock, you should feel pretty good about your chances.
Fast Responses Are Amazing
A consistently fast response is one of the few without-a-doubt signs that she's into you. She's not worried about you thinking she likes you at that point, because that's exactly what you're going to believe.
Lots Of Emoji Usage
Emoji usage is a huge part of texting, depending on who the recipient is. Those yellow smiley faces usually go to good friends, family members, and picture comments. A crush is someone else they go to, too.
Do Her Girlfriends Know About You?
Sometimes, girls like to keep their romance to themselves before running off and telling others. If you get included in a group chat with her friends, she for sure likes you.
Her Sarcasm Starts To Show
At first, things might be casual and kind of dense. After some warming up, you might start experiencing some sarcasm. Don't be angry about it, put a smile on your face. It means she's getting comfortable.
Bringing Up Past Conversations
If you're texting and she brings up that thing you said the other day about Chandler being your favorite Friends character, that's good. It shows she cares and that she's paying attention.
She Spams Your Phone
Who else's phone is she going to blow up with a ton of messages, other than the person she likes? This is a spectacular sign of affection in this digital age.
She Admits This One Thing
If she tells you that she enjoys texting you, that means she's implying something else. Yes, she could just genuinely like sending you messages, but she's not excluding anything else.
She Bathes You With Compliments
She's not going to give just anybody compliments. Even if there was a Polo model wearing the same outfit as you, if she's into you, she'd tell you that she liked yours better, and that's a fact.
Confiding In You Through Text Message
Once she starts to send you things about herself that not everyone knows, you're either her new closest friend, or she likes you a lot. We're going to go with the latter.
She Sends You Music Suggestions
Music is a great way to gain some common ground. If she's sending you playlists or artist suggestions, you should feel good about your chances. Let's just hope you like her taste.
Saving Your Contact Name As A Cute Nickname
If the name she has you under in her contacts isn't your name, but a nickname of some sort, you've won. It's how you get to that point that matters most, so you have to pick up on the signs.
Texts At Night Are Something To Be Proud Of
She clearly likes talking to you, but once you start getting late-night text messages, you've entered a whole new ball game. At first, it was only daytime texts that ended around 9 p.m., but now you're talking until midnight.
