I am still new to dating

How to find out if a girl has interest in me?

Harry writes, "I am still fairly young and I have only had one girlfriend only because she actually asked me out. I can't really narrow down which type of girlfriend I am interested in but if I had to, it would a girl who is funny and down to earth. I usually hang out with girls but only because my coach let me help with the girls soccer team. So my question is how do you know if a girl likes you? And let's say I get a date with that girl, how do I know if I should kiss her or not?"

I hope you realize that you have just started this. Trust me, it will take you forever to find out the answer to this question. A lot of old men do not know the answer to this question because both men and women are very complex creatures and it is not easy to find answers to what we like.

I think you have made a good start by narrowing it down to sense of humor and down to earth but as you interact more with them, you might start to figuring out other minor details like personal style or her preference in music or hobbies. So don't stress over it right now because little by little you will discover your likes and dislikes.

When a girl likes you, she will show many signs of her interest. For instance, she will find excuses to interact with you, or smile at you when she sees you, or ask for your help in anything, or like what happened with the first girlfriend, straight up ask you out. Believe me, when a girl wants a boy, she makes sure how to get it across to him.

I think the kissing part is a little tricky because both boys are girls can be very shy, terrified and awkward about it. On one hand they may want to do it but may restrain themselves because of whatever. So the trick that works most of the time is just to politely ask her. For instance, if your date is going well and she seems to be having a good time, and if you have a private moment, just ask, "I would love to kiss you." If she screams and runs away, you know what to do (run for your life), but chances are that either she will let you, or if she is not yet ready or not interested, she will laugh it off or give an excuse. You should respect her choice because that is what gentlemen do and if you want to follow my advice, it is the gentlemen -- and not jerks -- who have the most success with girls.
