text: how can you tell the difference? how can you tell the difference between a real answer and a fake answer when asking somebody out?  how do you tell the difference between a fake "yes" and a real "yes"?  how can you tell whether a girl is saying yes and is honestly interested in getting to know you, or if they're just out to use you?  how do you tell the difference between a fake "no" and a real "no"?  how can you tell if the person really means no and isn't interested in a relationship or if the person just said no because they're playing hard to get or are too shy to say yes?  also how can you tell if somebody is "putting you down easy"?  for example if somebody says "they're not ready" but really mean they're not interested in you.  they just don't want to sound rude. body language can say a lot. is she smiling at you? looking you in the eye? does she laugh a lot or touch her hair or her face or you? these are all good signs. if she seems uncomfortable, won't look at you, is looking down, or stays a good distance away from you, chances are she's not really interested. and if a girl says no, always take it as no. if she meant yes, she'll come back and let you know.
