How can I tell if my mother in law likes me?

well i think the best way to find that out is to try to call her out for a help while she is watching her favorite TV show. she if she cares.

She treats you with respect, and tries to spend her free time with you, or go out for a cup of coffee, or shopping. Also, when your conversations become longer, and more honest -- that's a true sign.

If someone likes you, they definitely will try to show affection towards you and they will always try to make you feel warm and welcome.

I don't know, I'm a child. I am not not married not have I ever been in a serious relationship. Again I'm a child.

If your mother-in-law likes you you'll know by doing the following. ASK HER :) I think it is important to have open discussions with your partners family to ensure an easier (not easy) relationship.

She smiles at you and laugh at your jokes. You'll feel it in your instincts. She gives you a warm pats in the back!

I have always found it difficult to judge the emotions of others toward me, especially if those people are close - like family or friends. This can add stress to how you think of your interactions/relationship with this person overall, and leave you feeling like you have to try harder to gain acceptance. I think it is important to remember that sometimes people simply do not like other people, and unfortunately that is part of life and that will never change - however, as long as you are polite, respectful and generally try to be a good person, it will be difficult for others to dislike you

Instead of bluntly asking her try to get in her good side. Condition her to associate happy thoughts with your presence. An example of this is by getting her favorite thing or a little goody everytime you see her. Or sometimes.

Try to sit down and talk with her about the situation. If you feel she doesn't like you, confront her and express your feelings towards her. :)

Honestly, she might not. Just be the best person you can be, if she doesn't like you then its alright. Give her time to know that you won't hurt their child and everything will be ok.
