I can't tell signs to save my life (9)

guy here. I've come to the realization that I can't read signs and signals that someone from the opposite sex may like me at all. Looking back at past experiences, it seems like I blew a lot of opportunities and I'd like that to no longer happen, especially since now there's a girl who may be interested in me. So in short for the ladies out there, what are some ways to know if someone is sending signals my way that she likes me?

Hmm...

If she laughs at your jokes a lot (even when they're stupid).
If she touches you - we are very aware of who we touch and rarely ever do it by accident.

There are more. What signals do you think you're getting?

This. When I was first going out with my girlfriend she'd laugh at every dumb thing I said.

eye contact, it seems. When I talk to her usually, she is intently staring at me while I ham it up or try to explain something.

when we hang out with other friends and walk in groups, she always seems to gravitate towards me and bump into me, even if I try to stick myself in the back. I don't make a scene of it and just kinda go with the flow.

This is just stuff I've noticed particularly. Might be some other stuff but I can't remember right now.

Does she tilt her head when she speaks to you or you speak to her? Does she look at you even when you're not looking at her? Does the pitch of her voice ever change while talking with you? Like, get higher or softer than it usually is? Does she seem nervous or fumble her words? Play with her hair? Caress her own arms or anything else while around you? Touch her neck excessively? Ask you questions about yourself, your well being, or your interests?

These are all signs that she likes you.

>>5 Yes. Often when someone likes someone else a lot, they get awkward. I've been known to say "I'm totally retarted for you" to express this >.<

Also, does she go out of her way to see or talk to you? Like spending hours on the internet IMing you, or taking a different route to class so she'll pass by you? These are usually fairly good signs.

one last desperate bump before I let this go off into oblivion.

Personally I think all this body language stuff is overrated, but if you're really interested I would just google for a reliabe-looking site rather than asking for rumors and hearsay on 4-ch.

Then you probably lack experience. Just sitting as an outsider and watching two people who are clueless about each other and being able to tell something is happening before they even did notice is really a fun thing to do.

Of course, this is not an absolute. But if you learn to observe well, it can give you a, say, 80% precise idea of other people's intents. It does not only apply to love and relationships; it can also help when comfronting people and such, and can even help disamorcing situations that are about to go wrong. Of course, once again, it doesn't do all the job; but it helps.
