  1. As your biggest fan, she may even have notifications turned on for whenever you post a picture, post on your story, or even go live. If she’s the first person to like and comment on your post the minute it’s uploaded, she may be crushing on you.
    • Keegan suggests to send her a friendly DM to let her know you’ve noticed her.[1] Go for an obvious flirt like, “Hey! Saw you liked my post and want to get to know you better,” or a more mellow, “I see you’ve been liking my pics lately. Care to comment?.”

  1. Keegan says there’s no doubt that if she likes you she’ll be the first to write something on your most recent posts. Maybe she compliments your appearance, gives a witty joke, or lets you know how she feels with a line of emojis.[2] If she likes you, she may comment something like:
    • “The hours at the gym are really paying off🔥”
    • “Wish I was there with you!”
    • “Need another friend to tag along?😏”
    • Do more than like her comments on her posts by sending a thoughtful or flirty reply back! This will let her know she’s also on your radar.

  1. Emojis can be a great way to express interest, especially on Insta! Maybe she tags you in a comment with an emoji you can’t help but blush at or hits that “🔥” on your latest story. One little emoji could mean her comment is a flirt. Here are some flirty emojis she might use if she likes you:[3]
    • 😉: She’s feeling flirty but wants to make sure you feel the same.
    • 👀: She’s feeling bold and ready to put herself out there to say you look good.
    • 😏: She’s feeling mischievous and, dare we say, a little sexy.
    • 😜: She’s feeling playful and is giving you a sexy wink.

  1. Maybe games aren’t her thing, and she wants to be upfront with you immediately. By sliding into your DMs, she’s telling you exactly what she wants—you! She’ll tell you straight off the bat that she’s into you. Here are some things she may say:
    • “You look good in all your pictures. What’s your secret?”
    • “IDK if you’ve noticed, but I’m definitely crushing on you😜”
    • “I just want to say that I think you’re great!”
    • Reader Poll: We asked 257 wikiHow readers how they slide into a guy’s DMs, and 58% of them agreed that the best method is replying to his story with an emoji or quick reaction. [Take Poll] If she does this a lot, odds are she probably likes you!

She watches all of your stories.

  1. She’ll be the first one to watch your stories the minute you post them—you’ll probably be the first one to show up in her feed. But she won’t just click past them. She’ll watch every single one and hope she doesn’t miss them when they disappear in 24 hours.
    • Check to see who’s seen your story after you’ve posted on it. You can do this by tapping on your profile image and clicking the “seen by” icon in the bottom left corner.
    • If she’s at the top of the list, she may be waiting eagerly for you to post.

She comments on your stories.

  1. If you like reposting inspirational quotes, sharing your opinions on the latest episode of your favorite show, or posting funny pics of your dog to your Instagram story, she’ll stop at nothing to comment on them. According to Keegan, this is a surefire way to know she likes you.[4] She won’t just let your stories roll on by—she’ll make sure to stop and tell you what she thinks, sliding right up into your DMs. She may say something like:
    • “OK, but that looks delicious! Maybe you should make me some😏”
    • “Your dog is adorable! How old is he?”
    • “You have the best movie suggestions. Any recommendations?”
    • Reply back with something just as sexy, or take her comment and turn it into a date suggestion. Don’t be afraid to be bold!

She gives you her number.

  1. There’s no hiding the fact that she likes you if she gives you her details and asks you to call her. She’s putting all her trust in you by giving you her number, so don’t leave her hanging![8]
    • Let her know if you’re not comfortable exchanging numbers. Do her a solid and delete her message with her number if you want to keep things on Instagram for now.

    Don't be afraid to ask for her number, too. If you're confident she's into you, ask for her number. Give a good reason for why you want her number, but be flirty about it. If there's a new restaurant that you know she'd like, for example, ask for her number so you can invite her out to dinner once the spot opens up.
