So, it is up to you to decipher the signs and use it to your advantage. Here are 28 of the most striking signs that a girl likes you over text.

#1 She initiates the conversation. If she’s the one who texts you first, even for no specific reason like just asking “what are you up to?” then there’s a good chance that she digs you.

Careful though, there’s a chance she might end up being a text-clingy girlfriend if you two start dating.

#3 She replies immediately. For a guy, there is nothing more agonizing than waiting for your crush to reply to your text message. There are times that replies end up coming hours or days late.

#8 She’ll notice if you don’t text her or reduce your conversations. When she asks, “Hey, are you okay? You haven’t been texting lately?” that is a sure sign that she likes you.
