Learning how to tell if a girl likes you over text definitely feels like one of the harder parts of modern dating, and since cellphones have allowed people to vet potential partners without having to go through the pains of awkward first dates, fostering this skill is all the more important. Thankfully, here are nine different clues that are surefire indicators that the girl of your dreams is just as into you as you are into her.

2. She Shares a Lot About Her Personal Life With You

While some people are really open with their past experiences, others keep their history close to the vest. If the girl you're talking to is one of the latter, then keep an eye out for any stories she tells pertaining to her past jobs, friends, family adventures, and so on. If you're finding that she's readily mentioning her personal life with you, without having to be prompted, she's feeling comfortable with your presence and likes having you around.

3. She Goes Out of the Way to Compliment You

As they say, a compliment goes a long, and the same can be said of the woman you've got your eye on. Many people like to show their interest in someone subtly by going out of their way to give them small compliments, and you should respond with appropriate enthusiasm. These compliments should give you the confidence to know that the girl you're talking to is feeling just as giddy as you are.

4. She Sends You 'Good Morning' and 'Good Night' Texts

Wanting to connect with you at the start of every day is a good sign that the girl you're interested in is at least moderately intrigued by you. By sending you a good morning or a good night text, she's implying that she wants herself to be the first thing or last thing on your mind every day. That kind of investment is a great sign of her burgeoning romantic feelings.

5. She Frequently Asks You About Yourself

Don't take her game of twenty-questions as a bad sign, she's probably just trying to get to know more about you. If you've gotten to a place where she's asking about your most embarrassing moment, or biggest childhood lie, then you can take that as an indication of her interest. She wants to see just how compatible the two of you really are and getting to know the 'real' you is a major step towards figuring that out.

6. She Texts You Reminders About Your Upcoming Schedule

If you're getting texts reminding you to run to the grocery store because you mentioned you were running out of toilet paper or ones asking about how an exam you took earlier went, then the woman you're talking to has you on her mind a lot of the time. If she's reaching out to touch base with you about these 'little' things, it means that she's purposefully committing your schedule to her memory, and that sort of dedication doesn't come from someone who only has a passing interest in you.

7. She Notices When You Haven't Texted Lately and Reaches Out

While deciding to go off the grid for a few days to see how your potential beau reacts isn't the takeaway from this clue, if a girl's pointed out your absence than she's missing your conversations and is politely encouraging you to keep talking to her. If she's the one for you, then you should take this as a great sign and think about your next steps moving forward.

8. She Starts to Make Future Plans for When You Can Next Meet Up

One of the strongest indicators that a girl is interested in you is that she keeps texting you asking either when you can meet in person or when you can next meet up. A virtual relationship can only go so far; therefore, if she's talking about wanting to spend time with you face-to-face, then she's actively invested in you and really likes having you around.

9. Finally, She Asks You Out

Of course, the most surefire way of determining how a girl likes you over text is to wait and see if she asks you out. Long gone are the days where women taking charge in a relationship is seen as taboo, and if she beats you to the punch, you should absolutely take her up on her offer. After all, that was the point of talking to her in the first place, wasn't it?
