How to know if she wants you to kiss her
Posted on 28. Aug, 2007 by Michael in Dating Tips
Knowing when to kiss a girl and when not to kiss a girl can make or break a potential relationship. Many guys just don’t know when they should lean in for that first kiss. We think, “Does she want me to kiss her? Will she be offended if I tried? Will she knee me in the junk if I went for a kiss?” Well there’s one sure giveaway that will tell you that she wants you to kiss her. I call it the “look.”
The look is usually brief, subtle, and very simple. She simply shifts her eyes from yours and looks at your mouth for a split second then looks back at you. That is a sure sign she wants to kiss you. It’s as simple as that.
When she looks at your mouth she’s giving you an unconscious signal (body language) that she wants to kiss you. Subconsciously, she’s imagining what it’s like to kiss you. So when you’re out on that next date pay close attention to her, especially when you’re saying goodnight, and watch for the look.

It sounds like you’re ready to fly on your own! Seriously, you know what to do. Just do more of the same stuff you did when you talked with her previously. Relax and be yourself. You’ll do fine, I’m sure of it!

Sounds like you might be too quiet for your own good. You mention that you’re afraid to talk because you think you might say something stupid and cause her to leave you. Well, I can guarantee that if you continue to do what you’ve been doing you WILL lose her. So it’s time to change strategies.
Become more courageous and just speak what’s on your mind. Tell her about the stuff your into and your hobbies. Let her inside your mind. That way she can get to know you better and connect with you. When she does, more than likely she’ll realize what a unique boyfriend she has and that she wants to stay with you.
Also, whenever she’s talking with you, you’ve got to pay attention to what she says. Ask her questions that relate to the topic she’s speaking to you. Don’t just sit there and simply say words like “okay” or “really?” Participate in the conversation.
Good luck Memo!

i agree with the whole… if she looks at your lips thing. take it from someone who has experienced it himself… but i find it troubling…
i just graduated hs and theres this girl i think about a lot… but she had a bf… but i remember almost all our conversations, she looked at my lips and when she shifted stance she seemed…. unfocused. does this mean she wanted to? or am i simply crazy?

It’s hard to say. You need to pay special attention to her body language. Was she leaning in close to you? Was she subtly licking her lips? Where the both of you flirting with each other? If so, she might have wanted you to kiss her.
Next time, be sure to look for the subtle cues.

First, calm down. Don’t tell her that you “love” her. That will scare her off. Besides, you really don’t love her. You’re simply infatuated with her - there’s a BIG difference. Love is something that gets built over time when two people are in a relationship.
The best way to approach your situation is to talk with her. Don’t start the conversation off by saying that you “really, really like her.” Just be friendly and talk with her as an equal. This gives her the chance to get to know how great you are. It also gives you the chance to see if you really like her personality.
Good luck Harry!

It’s never too soon to ask a girl out! Just remember to keep it simple - go for coffee after school, or to study one night for a test, or to go with her to the basketball game coming up. If you keep it simple, it takes some of the pressure off her to accept your offer. You can do it!

The “love” thing seems to have come out of nowhere there, but normally if things are going really well there is nothing wrong with finishing the night off with a kiss. Just remember to take a deep breath and go for it. It seems like from your description that she was practically begging for you to kiss her. Time to go out there and finish the job!

Hey, i’m 14 and i’m in year 10. I’ve liked this girl since year seven and she had a boyfriend, she broke up with him in year 9 at the end of the year and cried for ages. When ever i see her i get butterflies and can never muster enough strength to talk to her. I would like it if you could give me tips, or techniques to control my fear.

There is a girl who I am totally in love with, but I don’t know if she even likes me back. What would I say to ask this? Because “Hey, I really like you do you like me?” seems way too forward and would make it awkward. How would I tell her that I really like her? What exact words would I use? I have no idea. Lots of people think that I like her, but she’s never questioned it.
I want to know how she feels too, but I don’t know how to ask.

@ Greg, what you could do to see if she likes you is if you two are in a hallway or somewhere with people, lean in and say “Hey (insert girls name here) my friend over there (point at some guy in the distance) wants to find out if you like me.” its not too direct and wouldn’t be awkward. There is little chance that she would lie to you if you say that. Good luck!

First off, u guys give some kick-ass advice. Thx a bunch. There’s this girl in my class. We hit it off instantly nd became great friends. We told each other everything and I was always there for her. We spent a lot of time together. After about 3 weeks I told her I liked her and she told me she had to think about it. She gave me excuses like,”I don’t date right now.” Nd later she said she didn’t like me in that way. Not long after this, I hear she made with some guy she hardly ever spoke to. When I asked her about it, she said it was just a school fling, nothing serious. Normally, I’d walk away,but the way we interact isn’t in the way friends do. We hug real passiontely, she leant on my shoulder at some point in class and she talks like there’s still hope for us in the future. Our conversations always end up in long term goals like marrige… She’s not exactly the hottest girl out there, there are plenty around, but I think I’ve fallen in love with who she is. When I ask her how she feels about me, she seems confused. She says its a no to a relationship with me right now, but not a no to me. I recently asked her if I should just move on and she said,” I think I want u to.” Her words said one thing but her face and the way she said she didn’t want to lose me. She’s been hurt by the last guys she got serious with and its like she wants me to prove I’m really into her. Her boyfriend feels threatened becoz we don’t act like friends and wants limitations. I told her I can’t do that and that if she wanted I cud back off. But she instantly pleaded with me not to and I cud tell it was sincere. I really think I love this girl but she’s giving me mixed signals and I don’t know if I can just sit and watch her making out with another guy anymore. This whole thing’s messing my life up. I’ve tried to see her as a friend but I can’t. What should I do?

Dude. She’s totally waiting for you to kiss her. Do it already.

Just be confident! Remember to use open ended questions to keep the conversation going. Ask her about HER. What she likes, favorite movies and tv shows, favorite foods, family, that kind of stuff. It’s that easy man - good luck!

@ warren
That can be a tough spot. You might be in the “Friend Zone”. Try asking her out to something a little more intimate - like dinner and a movie. See if she warms up to you a little bit, rather than being another goofy buddy. Careful about asking her about dating though, if she thinks you guys are just friends it could easily strain the relationship you already have.
Good luck to you man!

@ Raynes
Thanks for the good words! We always enjoy getting feedback from you guys.
Now onto your issue. You are not going to want to hear this, but it looks like she sees you solely as one of her best friends. And it also seems like she is stringing you along knowing how you feel about her.
If this is really starting to mess with your head, it’s time you put some distance in between you and this girl. If she truly has some inner feelings for you, then this type of move usually will get these feelings to surface. Otherwise she’s just playing you, and that’s being terribly selfish on her part. Try taking a week and just hanging out with other friends, and cutting back on texts or emails you send to her, and see how she reacts. It’s going to be super hard, but it’s going to pay off for you in the end, no matter which way this ends up. You can do it!
