How can you tell if a girl is just being nice or if she’s trying to flirt?

r/

I (M18) have never dated anyone, and I’ve never even been on a date, so I’ll probably be able to tell when a girl is actually interested. Today I went to this gym with my friend for the first time cause he signed up and he can bring a free guest whenever he goes. I ended up seeing a girl (F19) that we were both decent friends with in high school. My friend only said hi to her then walked away, but then her and her friend came up to me and we started talking. She told me I look different, but “in a good way.” Not really sure if this means anything or it’s just her trying to be nice. She also seemed very excited to see me, like she smiled and kinda ran over.

    Not enough details to give a solid answer.

    Yes, they approached you, the compliment, its possible.

    When this happens ask for their number or social media string.

    If they agree, you have a doorway to explore through.

    That kind of excitement, the compliment, and making the effort to come talk to you, it sounds like more than just being nice. When a girl’s genuinely happy to see you and points out you look good, that’s usually a green flag. Just keep it chill and stay open, you might be reading it right.

    Do you need a girl to flirt with you before you flirt back? If your interested, instead of waiting for signs from the girl, take the initiative and reach out to her first with a simple, I love talking with you and would love to do it over a meal. When do you have time? Girls prefer men with confidence and hey, if she says no then whatever because now you have an answer to if she was flirting with you or not. You get a clear answer and lose almost nothing from her saying no.

    Look for her body language additional smiles, eye contact, and playful teasing can be signs.

    Yo, bro, straight up, you’re overthinking it. Early stage talks are always dicey. She called it a “good change”, that ain’t a casual comment, mate. Plus the excitement, solid signs bro! But don’t jump the gun, play it cool, and go with the flow. See if she keeps reaching out man. Patience is key. Remember, we’re all low-key clueless figuring it out as we go. You got this dude! 🔥💪🙌

    Looks like all good signs of interest. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, so next time you see her, casually ask do you want to meet for ___ this evening? Gd luck
