How to Know If a Girl Likes You More Than a Friend
Knowing a lot of people is nice, but having a good group of friends is priceless. Friends make life easier, more fun, and a lot more interesting. In fact, the best romantic relationships stem from friendships. Having someone who knows you well personally is the perfect start to connect intimately. Knowing this, you might be wondering if a certain girl (space) friend you have would make an even better girlfriend. If you’re trying to figure out how to know if a girl likes you more than a friend, keep an eye out for these 10 signs.
1. She puts you on a pedestal.
A good friend will hype you up. They’ll tell you when you look good and they’ll pump you up if you’re having a bad day. What a good good friend will do is always saying your name and bragging you to others how good you are. This way she can get your attention and also be your hype girl. If you find a girl like that, you know she likes you more than a friend.

2. She’ll show up anywhere you invite her.
Whether it’s a group hangout, a backyard BBQ, or shopping at the grocery store, this girl is going to be the first one there if you invite her. She’s so down to be with you that the place honestly doesn’t matter. She likes you more than a friend and has the dedication to show for it.
3. You’re funnier than stand-up comedy to her.
We all love some comedy or a general TV series that gives us a good laugh. And, in this day and age, we all have access to endless memes and humor. If this girl acts like you’re funnier than all of these things combined and others don’t think it’s funny, then there might be a problem, a good problem, though. She’s simply feeling you and is more invested in you, I mean your jokes might really only be funny to her, and she might just want to have a good laugh with you. I’m just saying.
4. She’s protective of you.
A good friend will have your back, but someone who likes you will go to another level. She may be protective of you if someone else says something offensive, or if you show that you’re hurt by someone else in your life. She’ll try to make you feel better. She’ll also be protective of you around other girls, making sure you don’t slip into another set of arms. So, watch out for this sign too.

5. Her friends start asking you about your love life.
Since you two are friends, you probably know some other people in common. If her friends appear and start to poke around in your love life, then they aren’t doing so because they’re bored or maybe. They’re trying to gather intel to return it to her… which is the girl who likes you. And that could be a good telltale sign.
6. She’s always messing with you.
There’s a fine line between a friendly joke and a flirty joke. If this girl is always crossing that line by teasing you and making fun of you, then she’s definitely trying to escape that friend zone to make a little joke more interesting between the two of you. When that day comes, you’ll know.

8. She’s nervous around you without reason.
