You've been texting for a week and you've read every message three times looking for clues. Is the "haha" a good haha? Did that emoji mean something? Let me help you read it, and then let me tell you the one way to actually know.

Signs she's into you

She starts conversations sometimes, not just answers them.
She asks you questions back, especially about you, not just "you?"
Her replies are roughly as long as yours, or longer.
She remembers small things you said earlier and brings them back.
She teases you. Playful teasing is one of the clearest signs there is.
When you mention plans, she engages with them instead of changing the subject.

Signs that mean less than you think

Reply speed. Some people are just slow texters. A fast text isn't love and a slow one isn't rejection.
Emojis. Some girls use them with everyone, including their dentist.
"Haha." It's punctuation for a lot of people. Look at what comes after it.

Signs she's probably not that interested

One word answers, over and over.
You start every single conversation.
She never asks you anything.
She dodges every plan without offering another day.

Texts you can send

A woman's read

Honestly? When I like a guy over text, I make it easy for him. I answer, I ask stuff back, I tease him, and when he suggests a plan I don't make him work for it. When I'm not into it, I'm polite and short, and I let plans drift. Most girls are kinder than they are direct, so the clearest sign isn't in any single text. It's in how she responds when you ask to see her.

The move

Stop decoding. Look at the last week as a whole: does she start chats, ask questions, tease you? If yes, ask her out this week with a day and a place. Her answer tells you everything.

The only real test

Ask her out. That's it. Texting signals are guesses. Her answer to a specific invite is data. If she says yes or offers another day, she likes you enough to find out more. If she dodges twice, you have your answer. Here's how to ask her out over text, and what to do if she says "haha maybe".

Questions guys ask

Does a fast reply mean she likes me?

Not by itself. Some people reply fast to everyone and some are slow with everyone. Look at what she says, not just when.

What if she only replies but never texts first?

Some girls rarely text first even when interested. If she is warm and engaged when she replies, ask her out and see.

Do emojis mean she likes me?

Not much on their own. Teasing, questions back and saying yes to plans mean a lot more.

How do I know for sure?

Ask her on a specific date. Her answer tells you more than any text ever will.
