See if she twirls her hair or looks down at her feet. This means that she’s feeling shy and nervous about talking to you because she likes you. See if she shuffles her feet or plays with her hands or jewelry. This is another sign that she’s fidgeting because she likes you. See if she breaks eye contact. If you share a moment of intense eye contact and then she looks away, it may mean that she’s feeling shy about talking to you. Check out her smile. Does she smile when she’s talking to you, even if you don’t say anything that should make her smile? This may mean that she likes you.
She may also put on a hint of perfume if she knows she’ll be around you. If you don’t think she wears perfume during school but suddenly puts it on when you’re at a group hang at the movies, it may be for you. You’ll need to take into consideration whether she’s known for her above-and-beyond style even when you’re not around. For example, ask other classmates if she dresses up on days you don’t see each other, or pay attention to how she looks on days when you run into her accidentally to see if her outfits are always as put-together as they are when she knows she’ll be around you.
If she’s the type who just stares off and daydreams a lot, then she may not be directing her attention towards you.
See if she laughs around everyone, or if you have a special effect on her funny bone.
If a girl in middle school has a crush on you, it’s almost guaranteed that her friends will know. Watch her friends carefully for any signs that they know how she feels about you.
If she touches everyone around her playfully, then she may just be a physical person.
If she’s never shown an interest in your interests before but suddenly seems to know everything about the things you like, then she probably likes you.
Just remember the golden rule: if she’s paying attention to you, she likes you. Teasing is just one way of paying attention.
If she acts coy, playful, or just a little bit silly around you, then she’s flirting with you. If she makes fun of you for liking another girl, especially when you clearly don’t like another girl, then she’s just flirting with you.
If she makes fun of any girlfriends you’ve had in the past, or just makes fun of other girls around you, then she’s probably just jealous because she really likes you.
If she sends you a video or a link to something you like, then it’s even more likely that she likes you. If she asks what you’re doing over the weekend when she texts you, then she’s interested in your plans because she likes you. Check out her social media activity. Does she talk to other people on social media as often as she talks to you, or are you special?
Her friends will, however, let you know if the girl doesn’t like you and this will spare your feelings if she doesn’t.
You can even compliment her a bit to put her at ease.
Whatever happens, remember that you’re in middle school. Relationships in middle school are fun, but they’re usually short and shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Just try to have fun and if it doesn’t work out with this girl, someone else will definitely fall for you.
