Even though some girls would want you to hit the nail on the head and profess your love for them without fear, there are times that you want to test the waters before you jump right in. You might just be looking for a way to hint a girl you like her without making it so obvious. Here, you are going to see everything you need to know to do just that.
Ladies fall in love differently from guys, and one of the biggest mistakes you can make as a guy is to shower your love the first instant you feel it. Chances are that she is far from interested at that time. Hence, you need to find ways to drop hints that you are interested in her until you get to feel the same too.
In this article, you are going to learn about how to hint a girl that you are interested in her while still preparing her heart to fondly love you too.
15 Ways To Hint a Girl You Like Her
This could your chance to get it right for the first time. It could be another opportunity to get the same girl you have missed before. Either way, here are some powerful ways to hint a girl you like and make her wildly fantasize about you until she finally says yes.
1. Do not tell her you like her
At least, not so fast.
From years of experience, I have come to find out that some girls find it hard to believe it when you tell them you like them, especially when it is happening so suddenly.
You just have to maintain a safe period of being around her and trying to understand her. Throughout this time, you just need to keep your cool and not be so fast to tell her you like her.
Of course, you are not going to sit back and do nothing. A whole lot of the hinting will involve non-verbal cues that you will see later.
When a guy sees a girl he likes, he almost immediately falls in love with her. While this may be true for some girls, it is not as straightforward as that. A girl would need a lot more time to process if she is ready to settle with a guy or not.
That means a majority of the guys would act on their natural instincts to immediately profess their interests to a girl they like; a behaviour some girls have now found boring and non-genuine. Therefore, if you are the special guy who holds back a little, she’d consider you special indeed.
2. Flirt with her with every given opportunity
Flirting is by far one of the most powerful ways to communicate your affections to someone you like. Flirting is the act of showing your sexual interest in a girl you are interested in.
It is easy to be friends with anyone when there are no strings attached, but when you want to get into an emotional commitment with someone, that is a different ball game.
You would have to clearly convey your sexual affection in a way that the other person understands, otherwise, you end up in the friendzone. Really bad, don’t you think?
Just in case you have already been caught in the net of friendzone without realizing it, flirting is the most powerful hint you can give her to make her know that you are sexually or emotionally interested in her.
You may be asking, what are the exact ways I can flirt with a girl I am interested in? Check these out.
- Tease her gently while putting up a smiling face.
- Hold her hands when you have the opportunity.
- Tell her she is beautiful and walk away unbothered.
Act like you are both interested and uninterested in her: This is one trick ladies use on guys they like, so why don’t you use it too? But be careful not to make her angry about it.
3. Be welcoming to the greenlight signs that she likes you too
If as fate would have it, your crush suddenly starts reciprocating the feelings of affection, you should be welcoming and not make her feel you are no longer interested. Putting up a genuine smile could go a long way to achieve this.
The green lights will be glaringly obvious, beaming right through your very mind. You don’t want to be seen avoiding them, otherwise, you put her off and she totally loses interest in you.
4. Create sexual tension
An important part of flirting is creating the right sexual tension. Ladies generally feel more attracted to someone they share some chemistry with. Whereas chemistry may not always be there at first instance, there are ways you can create the right sexual atmosphere to spark the feelings.
These include:
- Build your masculinity by working out, growing a beard or developing your deep voice. Ladies naturally love every bit of a guy’s masculinity.
- Flirt with everyone else. Flirting with everyone else usually implies that you are open to a relationship with anyone who is interested. If she is around, you might want to do so while still making her feel special. Otherwise, she takes you as someone without a focus on who you want to be with.
- Talk to other women. Ladies generally find a guy more attractive if he understands how ladies reason and why they do the things they do. By interacting freely with other women, you better understand what they find attractive, and more about the meanings of some of the unpredictable actions they sometimes put up.
- Learn public speaking. This might sound off but ladies love a guy who can talk clearly in public. If you whisper your comments to her ears, you sure will have to learn to stay in the friend zone until you do something about it. Be vocal when you are flirting with her. Don’t show that you are shy of people in the surrounding.
Touches are an important aspect of flirting and building sexual tension. You should be aware of the following touch areas in a woman’s body.

The green areas are almost always safe, with the only exception when you grab her firmly by the arms as if you want to kidnap her.
For the yellow and red areas, you should only touch those after she has felt more at ease with you. Otherwise, you ruin it for yourself.
A few minor exceptions; you can always remove her hair from her face or brush them behind her face at an early stage. You can also safely stroke her back lightly or rest your arms on it from a safe distance even at quite an early stage.
The general rule is that the more vulnerable the body part you are able to comfortably touch, the more attraction you get. You might need some time before she allows you to be so comfortable but you can always work your way up steadily.
5. Describe your fantasy with her before her
If you ever get the opportunity to talk about your dream woman around her, make sure you describe her perfectly with the right attitude so that she immediately knows you are talking about her.
If you still think it is too early to come all out with the details, you can slightly make the description different from her, just to keep her in the suspense loop we’ve been talking about.
For example, when asked about who your perfect woman is, you can describe her dark hair, slim physique, and dark skin, and then skew the information about her height. She will know you are talking about her but she will also know that you are playing the game right.
6. Learn the parables
Trust me, a point will come when she will open up to ask you why you are messing around with her emotions. That is when you know that you are getting into her mind already. She is beginning to think about something with you but she just can’t situate it exactly.
Boy! Good job so far. You are about the cross to the most glorious other side but there is still one hurdle left to climb. You don’t want to be too straightforward.
Ladies generally believe that if a guy who is naturally confident stays confident while shooting his shot at her, then the guy is probably not genuine about his feelings. They want him to feel frightened a little bit, reserved with a little touch of fear. And if he is naturally lily-livered, they expect him to be confident when expressing his feelings to her.
The reasons why they expect these opposite behaviours I really can’t explain but it seems she wants to feel how strong she is able to change you as if that were a measure of your seriousness towards being with them. Depending on how you naturally are, you can hack this information in either direction when you are ready to shoot your final shot.
However, just before that final moment, you might want to do your last parable first. One of the best ways to hint a girl you like without directly saying it is by using all the words you would have otherwise used (such as “like”, “love”, “interested”, etc) but putting a twist to it (using words like “kinda”, “maybe”, or some other ambiguous synonyms).
7. Get close to her inner circle
There are several behaviour and body attitudes girls put up when they are attracted to a guy. For example, turning her body direction toward you, making deep eye contact, touching you unconsciously, etc. Sometimes, if you do not display some openness, she might also withhold herself from behaving the usual way when she is attracted to you.
She might also get closer to you but one way she sees that you are interested in her is by doing the same. When she sees that you are interested in her inner circle, she quickly understands who the target is – herself. And even if she would not make it so easy for you to get her, she acknowledges the fact that you are interested in her even before you say a word to her.
8. Smiles – Greenlights signs
How do you hint a girl you like her without saying it directly? Greenlights are often deliberate body reactions towards someone you like. But many times, you find yourself unconsciously flashing them towards someone you like because you just can’t help it.
One of the best ways to express yourself and win the heart of the one you love is by putting up a beautiful smile when you are around her.
Smiles, done appropriately, can send some of the most romantic messages into her brain and she would always re-imagine the experiences even moments after you’ve left her.
9. Show it if she does not reciprocate your feelings
It is easy to be the hard guy that does not give a fuck what a girl does to him but you also need to act vulnerably to her to be able to win her over. It is expected that she would not consent to you initially and even if she likes you too, she may put up some hard-to-get attitude.
As much as you want to be a hard guy and move on at the slightest rejection, you may want to absorb the rejection this time. If a girl likes you and she sees that rejecting you makes you feel some pain, she begins to get more attracted to you. Take the pain, feel it but express it innocently in a way that does not threaten her.
10. Enough of the hints. It’s time to tell her how you feel
I know you are probably here to know how to hint a girl that you like her but at some point, you might have to open up to her about how you feel about her.
If you have successfully tried the rest ways to hint a girl that you are interested in her, you would have made her fall in love with you by now. Isn’t that what you always wanted?
Now, you have to just tell her directly that you like her. Take note of hint number 6 above when doing this.
Final words
The way ladies fall in love is different from how guys do the same. Whereas guys fall in love very suddenly, ladies do so at a slower pace. Hinting a girl that you like her is one way you can get her to gradually fall in love with you before you actually profess your love for her.
It’s all about timing, and when done untimely, everything can crash to the very ground.
How do you reciprocate the pain in such a way that it does not threaten her?
Thanks for asking.
I presume you want to ask “how to express the pain in a way that does not threaten her”.
What I mean by that is you just have to show that you are pained by her initial rejections if you know that she could possibly be interested in but only acting up.
When she sees that, she may begin to think that you were really serious about your interest in her.
By expressing them in a way that does not threaten her, I mean you should not make it look like you hate her or that you are angry with her. You should make the pain not look like a way of getting at her for not accepting you.
