- Hey, Psych2Goers.
Welcome back to our channel.
Have you ever wondered if someone was into you
but we're trying to hide their feelings for you?
I mean, maybe you've had a crush on someone
and didn't want them to know.
How do you know if someone is doing the same to you?
Does someone have a crush on you?
Well, here are seven signs
someone is into you, but tried not to show it.
Number one,
they'll do things you like to be around you more.
When we like someone,
we generally wanna be around them more
according to dating psychologist
Madeleine Mason Roantree.
The reward system in our brains
can increase our motivation
to spend more time with whoever we like.
If we enjoy being around them,
why wouldn't we wanna hang out with them more?
She explains that you may just start to
crave their presence.
They may even start to take up hobbies
or enroll in activities that you're a part of
to be closer to you.
Even if they weren't initially into the hobby
or activity itself before, Roantree explains.
It also gives you something else you can talk to them about.
And perhaps it's a way to entice them to get closer to you.
Time to enter the chess club.
You can't help it.
Not only does your crush like chess,
but you've been watching too much of the "Queen's Gambit"
on Netflix.
Number two, their pupils dilate.
Trying to decide if someone likes you?
There's a lot that comes into play,
but try looking into their eyes
to see if their pupils dilate
according to body language expert Patti Wood,
author of "Success Signals
a Guide to Reading Body Language."
Dilation is a brain response that occurs
when you like and are attracted to something.
So, next time you're hanging out with someone
and you see their pupils dilate,
ask yourself this: Is the lighting dim?
Or are they just really happy to see me?
Number three, they somehow know things about you
that you've never told them.
So you've noticed your lab partner
knows that you really like chess,
but you've never told them.
Okay. Well, are you friends on social media?
Okay, that makes sense.
But you posted a photo of you playing chess
before you followed each other,
actually months and months ago.
Well, they've likely scrolled back to all your old posts.
Why, you may ask?
'Cause they like you,
or they just really wanna be your friend.
But, if you hear from your friends
that they often ask about you,
that's a key sign they may secretly like you as well.
Number four, you catch them staring at you.
Happen to catch a particular someone
always staring your way during class or at work?
This is a classic sign that they may be attracted to you.
Did you often get caught staring at your crush?
It's common to want to turn your gaze
towards who you find attractive.
So if you catch someone doing this often,
looking at you, then they may just find you attractive.
If they turn away, they're likely trying not to show it.
Number six, they try to find out your relationship status.
Ah, you notice your crush
casually asking about your significant other.
But you don't have one, or maybe you do.
If someone does this, try to see how they react.
It may be subtle
if they're trying to hide their feelings for you.
But if they look disappointed
when you say you are in a relationship,
they may just like you.
And if you're single
and they can't help but hide a grin,
this is a big sign they may be attracted to you.
Number seven, they seem nervous around you.
So, you've noticed a few of the signs in someone you know.
But then you also notice
they always seem nervous around you too.
Sometimes, when we like someone,
we can become a bit nervous.
Stammering, breaking out in sweats
and clammy hands may just be signs
they like you so much that you make them nervous.
Attraction can even make us a bit dumb sometimes.
Research has found that sexual arousal
shuts off parts of the prefrontal cortex of the brain.
This region of the brain is responsible
for critical thinking, rational behavior
and self-awareness.
Next time you're around them, pay attention.
Do they always break out in a sweat?
They can't speak as eloquently as they usually do?
Perhaps they secretly have a crush on you.
And if they have most of the signs,
they're most likely very into you.
So, do you notice someone displaying these signs
towards you?
Who do you think likes you, your lab partner, your friend?
