When you like a girl who likes someone else, gauge her level of interest in this person that has caught her interest at this time.

Should she be heavily into this person, it is a waste of your time to pursue her.

There is room for you when she isn’t that into this person.

It all depends on the vibe you are getting from her and what she is doing.

Constantly communicating with this person and rarely wanting to communicate with you, has you fighting an uphill battle.

Should you learn that she is frequently talking about this person and constantly following them on social media, it’s time to leave this girl alone and move on.

There is no point wasting your time when her heart and mind belongs to someone else so strongly.

Now, it’s conceivable that she doesn’t like this person that much.

Should she only communicate with this person when they initiate, you have an opening.

While she is waiting for some kind of initiation from that person, look to how she responds to communication with you.

Should she rarely hang out with this person, you have yet another opening.

Fill this opening by asking her to hang out.

In responding, she soon gets used to you.

By the time this person comes around and starts communicating on the regular, she has already moved on with you.

This depends on just how much she likes this person and how far in she is with them.

In a context where they are already consistently going out on dates and communicating, you shouldn’t pursue her.

Pursuing her is an exertion of valuable energy that you could be expending on a different girl.

She is mentally unavailable to you.

Regardless of whether she responds to some of your advances or flirts, you aren’t the priority in her mind.

Easily get clues by using her friends as a source.

When she rarely talks about you to her friends, primarily talking about this guy instead, he is her priority.

Should she give you the hot and cold treatment sometimes, she is showing that her mind is preoccupied with thoughts of the guy.

You have the best chance of getting her to like you when she isn’t emotionally invested in this person.

What are some signs that she is emotionally invested?

She talks about this person very often and is constantly confiding in her friends about how she feels about them.

She makes herself consistently available for him to date or talk to, and she is on his social media a lot.

These are all strong signs that she is too emotionally invested in this guy for you to have decent odds with her.

You should move on to someone else upon observing this behavior.

Hanging on to the hope that she likes you only sets you up for disappointment and a broken heart.
