What if a girl keeps smiling at you

Don't feel bad… there are other babes at the bar. And if that's the case, it's for the best that you both know it upfront instead of dropping money on vodka sodas for her when she's not even interested.

I want to make dating as easy and pain-free as I can for you, guys. Here's how to know if a girl likes you in just the first five minutes of talking to her…. A girl should be smiling even subtly or at least looking happy while you are making a move. But if she looks like she's about to roll her eyes at your utter existence or her cheekbones look like she has Botox from smiling TOO hard, back away fast… the odds are not in your favor or she's just a total bitch.

A real smile is pretty difficult for most girls to fake. If she thinks you're hot, she will probably smile when you start talking and laugh at your jokes because she actually thinks they're funny, but don't mistake good manners for her wanting to get to know you better.

There is a definite difference between "I'm just trying to be nice, but I'm really not interested…go away," and "Hot damn, you're fine… let's take it up a notch. This is a good sign, guys. If a girl is feeling you, she will look right at you like you're the only other guy in the room. We can usually tell a lot by looking into your baby blues or sexy browns.

If we aren't looking into your eyes, we probably don't care to see what's in them. You can learn a great deal by looking into her eyes, too. Men's Health says her pupils will dilate if you are stimulating her socially. When something is exciting to look at, our bodies react. The look may be subtle, but if she seems happy and her eyes are dilated, you can check 2 off of your list.

If she doesn't make an effort to turn fully away from her squad to talk, it's time to face the cold, hard facts: Chances are she'd rather be spending time with her friends. Here's a hint, men: If she's tense with arms folded and legs crossed, your charm is probably not working on this one…so accept the loss with dignity. At least you put yourself out there, right? It will be easy to tell if she is really looking at you.

She shouldn't look at you the same routine way she looks at her phone when she's scanning through her texts. But if she really looks at you, things are promising.

What I mean is, make sure she isn't looking just to the side at the hot dude standing behind you at the bar. Let me tell you another little secret: If you happen to notice her looking at you when she thinks you don't know it, you really caught her attention. A bit of awkwardness can actually be totally normal. Don't mistake this for a negative sign and give up right away. If you're really sexy, and she's definitely into you, it's possible that you are making her nervous.

Nerves can actually be a great thing, guys! She will most likely try to flirt with you as well if she's staring a lot which is also another indication that she likes you. If a girl is staring at you a lot and specifically giving you the eyes, she is most likely flirting. She wants to get to know you and wants you to flirt back, and in a way, it's a test to see if you will match her level of staring. Making and establishing eye contact is a huge rule in flirting and that could be a sign she's trying to flirt through her eyes.

She might not even care if you approach or not because all she wants to get is your attention as she likes seeing when guys respond back and let her know they are interested too. When a woman stares at you, especially when she's with a group of friends, it could be because they are gossiping about you.

She could also be gossiping with friends and staring at you for a long time because she and her friends might have heard something about you from a friend or an acquaintance. Sometimes when a girl is staring at you it might not mean anything at all other than she's dazed out and her eyes happen to be looking at you or you're in her field of vision.

If she's staring at you without smiling, she most likely is lost in thought and not intentionally staring at you. It's also normal human behavior to stare at something while we are in a train of thought. Sometimes people can fix on anything and hold your gaze subconsciously with no meaning at all.

If she's giving you signs and signals that she's flirting, like mirroring your movements, constantly fixing her hair, and smiling a lot, then you need to approach her and flirt back! That's the only way that you'll get to know her more and make her feel more attracted to you through conversation.

When you walk up to her, act with confidence and try to trigger her feelings of sexual attraction for you in a natural way through the conversation. Looking a person up and down, also known as "checking them out," is a big sign when coupled with a smile.

Folding the arms and crossing the legs away from the individual are two signs that there is no real interest there, but keeping an open posture and touching her hair are good signs of interest. If a woman smiles at a man repeatedly, it is almost guaranteed that she wants him to approach her.
