If she likes you, she’ll keep the conversation going by asking you questions about your weekend- and you’ll get into her life. If she just mumbles something like, “It was fine” and then goes back to what she was doing, she’s probably not interested.

Don’t daydream while she is talking, she’ll hate that and find it a turn off.

Smile with your eyes and make sure you have white teeth and a nice breath. Don’t use the smile test unless you guys know each other. Don’t try this with a crush that doesn’t know you.

If she likes you, this will turn into a conversation because she’ll ask you what your interests are too. If she doesn’t like you, it will sound more like an interview. It sounds creepy if you’re just sitting there asking her all these questions and she’s responding with one-word answers. If this is the case, stop the “conversation” immediately.

Sneak up on her from behind, and gently grab her waist. Don’t squeeze her skin or anything, just put your hands on her waist and leave them there. She may freak out a little at this––remember, someone has just sneaked up on her and put their hands around her waist! If she jumps slightly or screams and turns around, says, “It’s only me!” and then smile. Do not laugh. Keep your hands on her waist. If she likes you, she’ll smile back and maybe giggle a little bit, then return to her original position. Your hands should still be on her waist. Notice whether or not she leans in closer to you. If she does, tighten your grip ever so slightly, but then let go. If she is not interested, she’ll probably just laugh and walk away. If you two are shy friends, she’ll probably ask why you’re doing this, and how do you explain that? Have a ready answer prepared beforehand, such as “I was just feeling affectionate”.

Notice whether her chin is resting on your shoulder. If it is, there’s some chemistry there. Rest your chin on her shoulder too, and bow your head a little bit so it looks like you’re looking at the ground. If she doesn’t hug you back and moves away, she’s not interested.

If she does, try to stay holding hands for the remainder of the lesson.

If she’s interested, she’ll likely smile. If she’s not interested, she’ll likely move away.

Beware: It could just mean she bumped you by accident.
