For one thing, that person looks your way often, to the point its obvious, maybe staring and looking away, or smiling at you and greeting you when they pass. A smile is important when directed at you. It works for any two people in any situation in life, it means, "I am friendly and approachable." A person who didn't want your attention, even a male for a male buddy, would not look at you or smile or talk to you as that might encourage you to try and be friends with them. Think about how you met your own friends. You didnt become friends if they couldn't look you in the eyes and smile and chat, right?
Lots of the things i mention next is something our bodies do subconsciously. So we aren't aware with our conscious minds that we or someone else is doing this/.
Approaching a person to stand close to them or sit next to them. If it's close enough to be arms length away so you can easily reach out and tap their shoulder, it means you are in person's 'personal space'. If your presence is welcome and she likes you, she'll stay put or maybe even move a step closer or lean towards you while standing, sitting or in conversation. If she doesnt like you, she's step back away to recreate that space between you.
Another thing we all do is end up mimicking a person we like, its a very basic animal instinct to make the other person feel comfortable and relaxed with you. So lets say you put a leg across your knee. Within a short time, almost right away, she'll move her legs somehow too, maybe to cross them, it may not be the exact same move but a move of legs. If your hand goes up to adjust glasses, or scratch your face or scalp, her hand will go up towards her head to do something too, maybe tuck hair behind her ear. If all so far shows she seems favorable to you, the next step is flirting and it's usually best to try touch, anything other than overt sexual touching like slapping her behind should be avoided. talkin more of reaching for her hand, pretendng to pick an eyelash off the cheek or wipe a smudge off her face, or if its real, go for the opportunity. A pat on the back, a playful light punch on the arm, seeking as many opportunities to touch and if she accepts them all, she really likes you. She might like a guy as a friend but not feel any of those romantic feelings for him to be bf/gf. If she doesn't she may shy away from your touches. If she enjoys talking to you and half the time initiates conversation whether texting, phone calls or in person, that's another good sign. At this point, you can say, hey we get along pretty good as friends already, so would you like to be my girlfriend. With all positive signs, its likely she'd say yes.
