    This girl that is on my softball team I have been getting kinda close to. I think I like her but I can't tell if she likes me. She just told me today that she came out to her parents. I don't really know her life really to much out of softball like her friends. I don't really think anyone knows I'm bisexual but I know I do flirt with her I think. But I can't really tell if she likes likes me. Is there anything I should look for? I really am confused and need some guidance

    Try to see if you catch her looking at you when you aren’t next to her. She confides in you about her personal life, so maybe she trusts you. She also probably hopes that you’re attracted to women, which is probably another reason she told you about coming out.

    I agree there may be a chance that she likes you back. Maybe she has noticed you flirting. There must be reasons why she told you such a personal thing "she came out to her parents"
    That statement alone is about her personal life in relation to her family. She's probably slowly getting to know you and feeling vibes and maybe making subtle hints. It seems that she likes you enough to tell you things. You'll never know what would happen.

    Well. She told that her Mom almost kicked her out of her house. And me being nosey I asked why and she kinda paused for a second. Then when we went back in the dugout she said something about it again.

    Okay. Thank you! I kinda want to give her more hints but I don't know what I could do. No one knows I'm bi but I really don't want everyone to know. Is there anything I should do to give her more hints that I like her?

    If it were me id straight up tell her "I have a crush on you" maybe it might make her feel a bit better. Especially her mum clearly doesn't approve. Like the world doesn't need to know about your sexuality but if you like someone you could just tell them.

    I've had some bad experiences with that. That's why I don't want to and i don't want it to be awkward after that. But is there anything else I could do?

    I see. I think just keep casually getting to know her. You can't force yourself to do things. But what you could do is try some changes in you appearance just to see if she comments. All girls like complements. You could be really subtle with her, like you two were laughing you could say something like "I love your laugh" that's between friendly and flirty or you could say to her "you've got a good smile".

    Just keep it causual or you'll find it overbearing

    I think everything you do with this girl is building up. I like to think there is a chance she's interested.
    You have a connection to her. Maybe it's a good thing you don't know a lot about her other friends. There must be a pretty good reason why you two bond at your softball club. It's like that's her privacy and I'll say obviously she trusts you. Like is she chatty with other girls in your group or is it just you?

    Just keep building it up. I don't know you two but put it this way. Two things I know you have in common

    1. You play softball
    2.you like girls (but she doesn't know you do yet)
    Just find out more and read her body language

    She chats with other girls in the group. But she has more of a playful attitude towards me. Like I know I've done a few things that I've realized I've done with guys to flirt with them. But I'm just nervous for her not to like me.

    Good luck. I think it would come naturally. Just keep an eye out on how she behaves with you more
