It is not always easy to tell if the girl likes you because women are usually very good at hiding their feelings.
The easiest way to find out if a girl secretly wants you but is trying not to show it is to pay attention to how she acts around you. Most girls act differently around their crushes than around other guys.
The main reason why some girls hide their feelings from a guy they like is that they are shy and afraid of rejection.
Women also usually expect a guy to do the first step and ask for their number or ask them out.

How to Know If a Girl Likes You but Is Hiding It?
1. Prolonged Eye Contact
If the girl likes you, she will be holding her eye contact longer than usual when talking to you. You might even notice that she is looking at your lips which is another sign that she is attracted to you.
However, if the girl is very shy and nervous instead of holding eye contact she might be looking down a lot when talking to you.
You might notice the same behavior when you walk in a hallway and see her. She will look at you and smile until you pass her. If she is shy, she will likely smile a little but might look down instead of holding eye contact.
If you are sitting or standing away from her, she might make eye contact across the room.
When talking to her, you may also notice that her pupils dilate but it is not always easy to see it unless you are sitting next to her.
