When a girl ignores you but likes you, the reason could be your shyness. If she notices that you hardly communicate your feelings and emotions, it can get frustrating. She may also think you are no more interested in her if you don't speak or act freely around her.
It's not uncommon for someone to hold back their emotions until they have firm confirmation that the person they're interested in feels the same way they do. In their minds, it's easier to ignore someone they're attracted to than to go out on a limb and risk being struck down.
A woman may ignore you for a variety of reasons – maybe she is not interested in you, or she does not like how desperate or inconsistent you are. She may also be ignoring you unintentionally due to technical difficulties or a tight work schedule. Being ignored by a woman does not mean that she hates you.
Even the most discreet expression can grab your crush's attention. Compliment their outfit, or smile and say hi when you pass them in the hall. After school, keep things flirty over text or Snapchat.
She may have good reasons for keeping a lid on her feelings for you. She's already in a relationship and isn't sure whom she wants to be with. She knows what she feels for you but doesn't want you to know just yet. She's ashamed of her feelings for you but can't help showing them sometimes.
Psychologically speaking, crushes occur when a person of any age projects their ideas and values onto another person whom they believe possesses certain attributes and with whom they want to be associated. Then, the person with the crush attaches strong positive feelings to this magical image that they have created.
Things You Should Know. Catching her staring at you is the biggest sign she has a crush. Look for other telltale cues like blushing, giggling, or making excuses to be together. Listen carefully to what she says—if she asks you about your crushes or talks about how she wants a boyfriend, she's dropping you some hints.
Smile and make eye contact when you see the person you like.
This will show that you're confident and self-assured, and it will also show your crush that you noticed them. If you notice your crush is looking at you, make eye contact and hold their gaze for a few seconds, then smile and look away.
If she leans away or intentionally 'disengages' from physical touch instead of leaning in, making eye contact, and showing you that she wants it—well, that's a pretty surefire sign that she thinks of you as a friend, not as a boyfriend.
She thought you were cool, worth getting to know, got her feet wet. But in turn decided “hey, this isn't for me.” You may have done or said something that turned her off but it's too early in the dating game to say anything so she just slowly stops talking to you because she doesn't want to hurt your feelings.
If she looks away really fast, or smiles, or blushes, she's into you. If she casually looks away and doesn't engage anymore, she's probably not into you. If she's talking to you and laughing/smiling a lot, she's flirting. If she's playing with her hair, she's flirting.
If he compliments your eyes, the color of your hair, your laugh, or an admirable aspect of your personality, then he's definitely flirting with you. He may even tease you a bit while flirting with you, like if he says something like, "That's the brightest sweater I have ever seen," but he's still flirting with you.
Signs you just like the attention
If you're only talking to them for attention, Wood says you might notice the following red flags: You feel anxious without their time or attention. You're emotionally unavailable, and you keep your guard up. You don't know much about them beyond the surface (and you don't care to).
First crushes may occur at any time, but generally start at around 10-13 years of age. They are an important step in developing normal and healthy romantic relationships, and provide opportunities to learn how to compromise and communicate.
It can last hours, days, weeks, months, or perhaps, even years; there is no set timeframe for a crush. A crush is a fantasy of what you imagine that person to be like—you like the idea of that person.
