    How do you know if someone likes you?

    How do you tell if their a lesbian or not?

    Like what are some signs or things they do that points to that they are lesbian?

    Usually for me, I can tell by eye contact and a certain "swagger" that a lot of gay girls have. It's that kind of body language that says "I don't care about attracting guys, I'm just gonna do me". Idk if that helps or not. To get more specific:

    - holds extended eye contact
    - has more masculine-seeming body language (sits with legs far apart, crosses arms a lot, etc)
    - expresses support for LGBTQ issues (but could also mean she's an ally)
    - seems more interested in talking with you and getting to know you than the average straight girl would
    - you catch her glancing at your body when you're not looking

    She tells you she's attracted to girls. That's all you can go by.

    The eye contact and body glancing thing works some of the time but not all of the time. Not every lesbian is attracted to every girl she sees. She also could be autistic (we tend to avoid eye contact) could be shy, or could be sexually uninterested in strangers. Likewise, sometimes straight women like to flirt with lesbians because It's a game to them.

    A lot of lesbians are feminine (actually probably most are) so sometimes stereotypes don't help either.

    I'm not saying these are never accurate, because in many cases they are, just that if you only go by clues/assumptions, you aren't really going to know the truth in all cases.

    Okay. Thanks. I just want to know if they like me. But I don't want to jeopardize anything or her telling everyone I asked or that someone tried to.
