There are 3 school of thoughts when it comes to reading signs :

- Act once you see positive signs

- Act whenever you see someone you like despite lack of signs

- Keep reading this sub without any action IRL and then come back here because it's not working

I believe that it's in between the 2 first schools, YOU WON'T SEE THEM UNLESS YOU LOOK FOR THEM.

As for the actual signs, the usual "eye contact, ask personal questions, she shares personal detail about childhood, she complies when you touch her and touches back etc.", they are relevant.

But there are a few more subtles but vital signs you should pay attention to as they are not very obvious :

1 - She's being vulnerable when on a date with you. She dresses well but unconfortably? She's okay with dining with you ? She feels safe drinking with you and altering her judgment? Then she is confortable being vulnerable with you, and YOU only. Which is quite a good sign.

2 - Her legs are facing toward you. She's not aware of it, but that's the best unconscious sign that she likes you. You can also observe it on yourself when talking with a girl you are attracted to.

I am basing these on the work of a sociologist specialized in relationships, but also on personal experience. I am not necessarily a fuckboy, but each time I focused on signs, these were the ones that stood up and it usually worked.

Good luck to all our fellow redditors and, remember, practice makes perfect.

PS : Don't hesitate to bring nuance or disaprove some of these points, we're here for this :)
