- [Narrator] Hello, Psych2goers
and welcome back to our channel.
We wanted to let you know
that it is your ongoing support
that helps us make psychology and mental health
more accessible to everyone.
Thank you so very much for all of your support.
Now, let's continue.
Have you ever fallen head over heels for someone,
but couldn't tell if they felt the same way way for you?
Or, wanted to know if you're overly flirty crush
felt a deeper connection towards you?
So many of us let our love go unspoken
because we're afraid of getting rejected,
or feel uncomfortable with emotional vulnerability.
All too often, we let our opportunities
for happiness slip away because we think,
"If only I knew for sure that they felt the same way,
then I'd confessed to them."
But the truth is,
even if we don't always have the courage
to be as open or forthcoming
as we should be with our feelings,
all the signs could already be there.
So, to help you with that,
here are seven of the most telltale signs
that someone is secretly in love with you.
Number one, they're always running into you.
Do you find yourself repeatedly bumping
into one particular person at school or at work?
Do they usually show up
at the same places or events that you're at?
If you've conveniently run into this particular person
at certain places you've been known to frequent,
then there's a good chance
that they're just there to see you.
And though stalking is definitely not one of the best
or healthiest ways to express your love,
you might feel compelled to chase after your crush anyway
by finding as many excuses as you can to bump into them
and try to chat them up.
Number two,
they are quick to defend you.
Another definitive sign
that someone is secretly in love with you
is that they're always quick to defend you.
Whenever someone tries to say something rude about you
or mistreats you in any way,
you best believe this person will be there
ready to stick up for you.
They're protective and caring towards you
in a way that they aren't with anyone else.
They're eager to help you out when you need it.
And they shower you with praise, compliments and attention.
Number three, they're fascinated by you.
Think back to the last conversation
you had with this person.
Did they seem interested in what you had to say?
Were they listening attentively
and eager to keep the conversation going?
Do they often come to you for advice
or seek out your opinion?
A person who's fallen in love with you is fascinated by you
and is eager to learn everything they can about you.
They love talking with you
and finding out what you like, what you dislike,
how you feel about things, and what your views are.
Number four, they're physically affectionate towards you.
Does this particular person seem much more
physically affectionate towards you than usual?
They might be trying to express their feelings for you
through their non-verbal behaviors.
They might be too shy to actually tell you
about their feelings just yet.
Or, they might not even realize
they've become more physically affectionate
and they are doing it subconsciously.
They find excuses to touch you or be close to you.
They play with your hair or brush their hands against yours.
They always sit next to you
or put their head on your shoulder.
And they hug you excitedly every time they see you.
Whether they realize they're doing it or not,
all of these are very clear
nonverbal signs of romantic attraction.
Number five, they're more attentive towards you.
Have you noticed that this person
is more attentive to you and your needs.
They pay special attention towards you.
They're happy to do favors for you.
They buy you little gifts
to show you that they appreciate you
or remind you of inside jokes that you share.
They make themselves available for you.
They adjust their schedule to accommodate you.
And they always go the extra mile
just to make you laugh, or see you smile.
Number six, they remember the little things.
When it comes to the people that we love,
no detail is too small or too insignificant to remember.
We cherish every memory we share with them
and listen attentively to all their stories
because we're so much more invested in them
than we are with others.
So if you notice yourself saying,
"Wow, I can't believe you remember that" a lot of the time,
chances are you're very important to this person.
And if they know things about you that no one else seems to,
from all your favorite songs and movies
to your random ideas and opinions,
it's probably because they're in love with you.
Or, at the very least, deeply interested in you.
Number seven, they always reach out to you.
Finally, one of the most telling signs
that someone is in love with you,
is if they're always reaching out to you
and trying to find ways to get closer to you.
Whether it's following you on social media,
asking for your number or inviting you to events,
these are all not so subtle hints
that this person has feelings for you
and is trying to pursue you romantically.
They'll usually send you a message or call you up,
even if they don't have much to say.
Because they wanna spend more time with you
and keep in touch with you.
