Be honest and have a conversation with her about it. "Do you have a moment, I'd like to ask you a personal question. Do you like me? It's important to me and I'd love to talk about it with you."

How she acts around you and when you aren't there, if she blatantly shows she dislikes you thats different. Doe she smile when talking about/to you? Does she laugh at your jokes? Is there warm tone in her voice, or is she coldly polite? Does she show you physical affection? Hugs, kisses, so on. Diffrent people show their affection or lack of it differently. Trust your instintc.

I know my mother in law like me because she constantly calls to check up on me and ask how I'm doing. She purposely makes conversation to keep things going and interesting.

Hmm, tell me some of the reasons she might like you. I'm sure there are plenty! Would you like to talk about your relationship with her?

Sometimes this can be difficult. She may act pleasant toward you and compliment you, but behind your back she talks about you in a bad way. But perhaps this is not as important as how you view her. She must earn your respect more than you have to earn hers. After all, it is your own family that you are looking after, and you have to defend it and protect it. So, do not worry so much about her liking or disliking you. Focus on yourself your spouse and children.

You may never know for certain. But if she can see that her child is happy, and knows you've contributed to that, she will respect you at the very least.

Give her positive feedback, if she likes you, it is highly likely that she would reply with the same. Bear in mind that time and place and mood does matter, and the results affected.

You can't! Mother in laws have super powers, they are unreadable! If your mother in law does not like you, then you will soon know about it. What you can try and do is ensure that your mother in law has no reason to dislike you. make conversation, invite her to lunches or shopping and find ways to bond. Most importantly, make sure she knows just how much you love and care for your partner, after all, their children's happiness is what is most important to them.

You should be able to tell if your mother-in-law likes you just the same as knowing how anyone likes you. From my experience, I can tell if someone likes me when they treat me with kindness and respect.

after you have told the mother in law about your relationship how did she react? if she behaves in a manner that you feel unwelcome and being pushed away by her then you know that she does not like you but if she welcomes you with a warm heart and treat you like her own then that simply she love you as her son or daughter in law and would love that you two will get married.

Why not just ask her straight out? Assuming just makes things more complicated than they need to be right? And it's no point wondering and worrying about it all the time ... when all you have to do is ask and be put at ease..

If your mother in law like you, she will go out of her way to help you when you are in need, while being supportive and friendly, rather than cold and distant. From my experience, if a mother in law likes you, she lets it be known to other family members, rather than saying insulting things about you, which will eventually make its way back to your, or your significant other's, ears.

One way you can tell if your mother in law likes or not is that if she calls you and invites you for a nice dinner with the family. If she ever buys you something nice like a tie or a watch.

it is tricky to gauge if someone truly like you or not but go with your gut and be polite either way it takes some people longer to warm up to new people in the family than others
