we've all been there mixed signals
confusing body language misinterpreted
texts they all lead to the question do
they like like me sometimes the
strongest of relationships can blossom
out of the most casual and innocent
friendships like personally my boyfriend
and I started off as friends
slowly I started to notice that he liked
me more than a normal friend would when
he actually told me that he liked me and
asked me out I was kind of shocked I
didn't expect it but thinking back I
missed a lot of the signs they were
clear as day right in front of me but
because I wasn't thinking that they
could potentially be remarks of romance
I didn't catch on the point of the story
learn from my experience here are 24
telltale signs that someone might have a
crush on you whether or not you have a
crush on them is up to you one they tell
you that they want something more this
is the most obvious because they're
literally saying that they want to be
more than friends if they tell you that
they like you hello this is a risky
situation though because you might
either want the same not want the same
or like me I've never thought about it
before and are totally taken aback
thankfully this is probably one of the
last signs that will happen as long as
you pay attention to they hint at you to
make a move sometimes people are too shy
to come out and say their true feelings
especially if they're afraid of losing a
friend from not having similar interests
the person may try to get you to make
the first move making remarks like it's
almost like we're dating or wow I'm cold
I wish I had a jacket personally I was
reading an article that described girls
personalities based off of their names
mine read something like the girl who
all the boys are in love with and I told
him to which he responded haha yeah all
of them
my blissfully ignorant self totally
didn't realized when he said all of them
he literally meant all of them including
himself it was a low-key way of him
hinting but it went totally over my head
3 they don't refer to you as a friend
when introducing you to someone they
won't call you just their friend they'll
either only call you by name or a close
friend also the way they
speak about you has a lot to say you can
normally hear the affection in their
voices they talk about you to another so
listen for that for they casually touch
you when people who care about one
another are in close proximity like
magnets they get this urge to have
physical contact with one another a
friend who likes another friend will
definitely look for opportunities to
have any contact with them they'll sit
real close to them on the couch and
casually put their arm around you hug
you any opportunity they can get touch
your arm as they laugh at a joke you
made nudging with their elbow anything
like that physical touching might not
necessarily indicate romantic intentions
but consistent and unnecessary touching
could hint at a deeper desire 5 they
make excuses to be alone with you if you
have a crush on someone it's very
frustrating to not have time alone with
them so if a friend keeps asking you to
hang out just the two of you that's a
good indicator
maybe they'll text you to go see a movie
using the excuse that everyone else they
asked is busy or asking you to come hang
out with them because they're bored
and when you're in groups they'll try to
cling to you as much as possible 6 their
eye contact with you is unusual like
they say eyes are the windows into the
soul if you find your friend constantly
looking at you we're staring into your
eyes it's probably because you have a
special place in their soul incredible
amounts of emotion can be communicated
through the eyes alone and sometimes a
look shows more of someone's feelings
for another than words alone if you
catch a friend staring at you often it
might hint at their attraction for you 7
they ask you out they might not use the
word date but if they're like I happen
to have an extra ticket to this concert
that I know you love the band want to
come it might not be a coincidence even
if it's just an impromptu call for a
Taco Bell run it could be romantic take
notice when you're out with them or even
in with them watching Netflix and see if
it's a date or not 8 they ask you about
your past relationships this could also
just be a friendly question but it's an
indicator that they want to know more
about your romantic
have you had many significant others
before how did your last relationship
end how long were your previous
relationships this enables the friend to
envision what kind of person you'd be
like in a relationship 9 they ask about
your future plans
ding ding ding this is a winner if
they're asking you about future they're
trying to see if it's possible for them
to imagine a future with you if you're
planning on moving across country for
school and they are staying put this
might make them stop having hopes for a
future but if you both have semi
consistent futures idealized no plans of
moving or traveling for work or whatever
then it's good to pursue that
relationship I knew a guy who had a huge
crush on this girl only to find out she
was going to move to South Africa to
work for a non-profit so learning that
made him unconditional right 10 they get
defensive when someone else tries to
make a move jealousy is definitely one
of the most undeniable signs of a deep
desire for someone if they get pissy
that you went on a date with someone
else it's probably because they wish
they were there instead they're jealous
because it is as though they've failed
their own hopes and dreams of being the
one you romantically involved with and
they want to be in that position unless
someone really cares deeply for a person
seeing a friend with someone else should
not cause jealous feelings or any other
passion and emotions 11 they get angry
at the little things sometimes a person
who has a secret desire for love can be
under a lot of stress and tend to lash
out be aware that it's not necessarily
abusive if they become snippy around
couples or other people who are in
relationships it could be an indicator
of strong feelings they feel like
they're trapped in a world where they
will never be with who they love and
that no one understands their pain so it
might cause some angry reactions however
if they have the jealousy issues they
might be abusive and toxic in the future
be on red alert for this sign and see if
you can find out if they're a little
pissed off or actively abusive 12 they
remember important dates they never have
to ask when your birthday is or if you
have an important event coming up
they remember these dates because
they're important to you and want to use
them as a talking point and to prove to
you how much they care 13 their body
language screams it along with eye
contact body language is a huge
indicator of love interest for example
women will toss their hair or play with
it and smile more than usual while men
try to take up as much space as possible
in order to draw attention to themselves
they might go out of their way to fix
the tag sticking out of your shirt or
help you with your books which could be
a friendly gesture but also a deeper
connection with you 14 they flirt with
you even if the person is less outgoing
and doesn't know how to flirt they will
definitely act a little strange around
you maybe you find them fixing their
hair a lot when you're around or
twitching because they're trying to be
as attractive as possible in your
presence more outgoing individuals tend
to be more obviously flirtatious but the
introverts among us have subtle ways of
showing interest if they ask you tons of
questions and keep the conversation
going between you two although they're
usually pretty quiet this shows that
they're captivated by your words
flirting is a way to test the waters and
see if you show any interest back so be
aware and act accordingly 15 they talk
about you a lot to their friends if a
friend cannot shut up about you to their
friends or even their family it means
you hold a special place in their heart
did you hear what so-and-so did
yesterday so-and-so got a new dog the
other day I was in class and so-and-so
made this hilarious joke any of these
are good excuses for bringing up a crush
to their friends their friends will
definitely take notice and might even
say to you if the situation arise did
you know so-and-so is always going on
and on and on about you a friend who
talks about you constantly show signs of
affections that go beyond the typical
friendship 16 they improve their
physical appearance around you
maybe they're a sloucher and tend to sit
up straighter when you're in the room
maybe they put on more makeup than usual
if they know you're going to be around
men may nervously smooth their shirts or
fix their hair when in the presence of
someone they're attracted to it's a
subtle way to impress a friend you may
have feelings for seventeen they hint or
let you know that they are definitely
single constantly talking about how
you're single is a sign that you wish
you weren't and that the other person
should fill the void there is no real
reason to reveal this information unless
a relationship is desired
sometimes it's casually mentioned but if
it's brought up over and over it's
trying to drill the idea into your head
18 they stock you but not in a creepy
we've all been there staying up till the
early hours of dawn going through all
your crushes Facebook photos and
learning about their friends family and
what they do for fun all that if a
friend of yours accidentally likes a
photo of yours from 2012 you know what
they were doing back there and they
definitely have feelings for you 19 they
don't block your advances if you're
being affectionate towards them either
because you like them as well or
something they will gladly accept it and
embrace it if you lean into them on the
couch they'll gladly put their arm
around you rather than scoot away if you
reach for their hand they'll take it
without a second thought when a friend
allows another to make advances on them
it's a sign that they have considered
and are ready and willing for a
relationship to progress to something
more they make the move when a friend is
tired of waiting or assure you maybe
feel the same back they will throw
caution to the wind and just go for it
they'll make moves on you whether
emotionally physically socially and
whether or not you accept it or support
it is up to you but if they actually
make a move on you it's obvious that
they're interested 21 they may act more
masculine or girly around you sometimes
girls will giggle a lot around boys they
like batting their eyelashes and talking
with a higher pitched tone guys tend to
act stronger and manlier by not being
afraid of anything or talking with a
lower tone or using their strength
whenever the opportunity arises this is
from prehistoric times when these
qualities were what attracted the other
sex this may come out in some
individuals but definitely
isn't always the case these days 22 they
tell you their secrets and when they are
hurting when a friend views you as
someone they truly care for they'll tell
you their deepest issues and start to
rely on you to cheer them up if they
have a crush on you the only thing that
might make them feel better is to have
your momentary support by communicating
various troubles and embracing one
another's pain this is a sign that your
relationship is forming a deeper bond 23
they expect a lot from you if you don't
respond to their texts they might get
low-key offended or if you haven't hung
out with them in a while it'll get them
down because they like you they want
your attention as much as humanly
possible if you show up late or forget a
promise you made them they'll be very
letdown you mean more to them than
anyone else to them any mistake you make
is seen as an attempt to show them that
you do not care for them as much as you
do watch this and treat the relationship
with just as much love and care as they
do 24 they try to make you jealous
one of the classic ways to get with a
friend is to try and make them jealous
maybe they'll talk to you about how they
find so-and-so attractive or talk about
how they went on a date mainly to gauge
your reaction and see if you're bothered
by this if you're happy for them it'll
show that you aren't jealous and didn't
consider a relationship this is somewhat
manipulative and confusing with the
mixed signals but it's usually easy to
tell if the other person is trying to
make you jealous or not if they're at a
party with another but are constantly
looking at you you know where their
heart really is in the end it's hard to
figure out when someone likes you more
than a friend
sometimes you'll end up like me totally
oblivious and then surprised when a
friend tells you they did like you but
being like me isn't that bad after that
happened my mind opened up to the
possibility of liking him back I
realized that maybe I'd accidentally put
him in the friend zone and that I could
see a future with him so I said why not
and gave dating him a try and now three
years later is one of the best decisions
I've ever made
so hopefully this list will help you
determine whether or not someone likes
you more than a
but either way it's about how you react
that will make or break your future with
this individual good luck and love
broadly what's your story were you ever
surprised when somebody liked you
