When a girl says she’s fine, she is not fine. If a girl says she isn’t hungry, she’ll probably steal half of your order of fries. Right when you think you know a girl, she might throw you a curveball, just because. In fact, I might have a book coming out titled “Everything you know about girls” and – spoiler alert – I’m at 169 blank pages. That’s because things change with girls every day. However, we can still try to figure out what a girl is really thinking and feeling and moments like these could be brief. If you’re asking, “What are the signs that a girl is hiding her true feelings from you?” Well, let me give you 8 signs on how you can spot them in that brief window of opportunity.
1. She seems nervous around you at times.
You could be getting to know each other or maybe your BFFs since first grade, but when the feelings are rolling in, the girl can get nervous. Because liking someone could generally make them nervous, and even if she’s good at hiding her feelings, nerves have a way of breaking through the surface. This could be seen through things like her constantly playing with her hair or having it hide her face, moving her hands or moving around a lot, avoiding eye contact or sweating palms are all good indicators to spot.

2. She mentions you a lot, even when she’s talking to you.
If you’re secretly the apple of her eye, she’s going to have a hard time not talking about how much she likes apples… I mean, you. She’ll talk to her friends about things you’ve said or done, and then she’ll even mention things to you when you two are together. These are comments like, “I remember when you did this or that” or “When you said so-and-so said this…” or “Since you mentioned this, so and so happened” It’s like she’s watching every step you take and every move you make. It’s kind of creepy, except she’s not creepy, instead pretty cute, right?
3. She’s not interested in hearing about your love life.
You told her that another girl was cute? Have fun dealing with a pouty face the rest of the day. You’re talking to her about your interest in another girl?! She would rather be picking up trash on the beach than listening to that. Unless you’re talking about how single you are and how you’re interested in her, she does not want to hear about your love life with someone else.
4. She apologizes a lot.
A girl who is hiding her true feelings may not want you to know she likes you just yet, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want you to like her back, now. She will apologize a lot for very silly things because she wouldn’t want anything to sound negative or odd to you. She’s a little obsessed with making an everlasting good impression, in case she gets the chance to take your friendship a step further one day!
5. She subtly imitates you.
Maybe this girl has started using some of your favorite slang words, matching your tone and your style of conversations. You can also lookout for some physical imitation as well. If you tend to sit with your legs a certain way, or leaning forward, for example, she may start to do the same when she’s around you. This is probably an unconscious action on her part – humans tend to copy the gestures of those around us when we want to earns someone’s liking. And, let’s be real, we would only want to earn that like if it’s someone that we like. I mean I like you all, and sometimes I get flattered when you all click the like button for me. I’m just saying.

6. She tries to impress your friends.
You and your friends could be peas in a pod, and she can’t get with one pea without being accepted by the others. Most guys wouldn’t be fond of a girl if all of their friends’ trash-talked her, so this girl will aim to get the thumbs-up from the friends before she tries to make you her partner. And this one is a great way to hide her feelings because then you won’t even suspect if she actually likes you or the friends because she’s able to bond with all of your friends.
7. She asks you silly questions.
When a girl hides her true feelings, she does it because she isn’t comfortable enough to share them with you yet. In order to gain this comfort, it’s normal that she asks you a lot of silly questions, especially hypothetical ones. While they may seem unnecessary, she has a reason behind this madness, and it’s to get to know you better before fessing up to how she’s really feeling. Plus, they could be great conversational starters.
8. She worries about your well-being.
A girl who is hiding her true feelings about you will always be on the lookout for you. Not shooting other girls away or to be controlling, but to make sure you are simply ok. She’ll check up on you if you’re sick, and gets worried if you make dumb decisions that may risk your safety or future. I know this sounds like a motherly thing to do, but hey, she might be a mother one day haha. Anyway, if she actually cares about you, you should know she has feelings for you already.
