- Hey Psych2Goers, welcome back to another video.
Do they like me, or am I just overthinking?
Maybe I completely misread the signs,
and they think of me as nothing more than a friend.
What if confessing ruins our friendship?
Do these questions sound familiar to you?
If so, you know all too well,
how hard it can be to figure out
whether someone likes you back.
So with that said, whether it's a coworker,
a classmate, or a friend,
these eight obvious signs that your crush likes you
are sure to help figure things out.
Number one, the text back instantly.
When you message them, how long does it take to get a reply?
When someone likes you they'll prioritize your texts,
they'll look forward to having conversations with you.
So when that notification pops up,
they won't be able to resist breaking into a smile
and getting ready to think of the perfect response.
On the other hand, if they wait a few hours
before getting around to reading your message,
they might not like you.
They may be more concerned with looking cool
rather than genuinely talking to you.
If this describes your crush,
consider rethinking whether they're worth
the time and energy.
After all, everyone deserves someone who prioritizes them.
Number two, they use your social media posts
to start conversations.
When you post something on your story,
do they swipe up and start talking to you about it?
Someone making excuses to talk to you
is a huge sign they like you.
They're looking for every possible opportunity
to start a conversation.
So, whether it's a story post, feed post,
or a mutual friend's post,
if you're there, they'll text you about it.
An in person example would be asking your crush questions
you may already know the answer to at school or work,
just to start a conversation.
This exciting flirtatious stage in a relationship
can translate to online interactions as well.
You just have to know what to look for.
Number three, they think of online things to do together.
Does it feel like you can't do anything but stay at home?
This can be extremely frustrating.
But there are actually many online things
you can do with others.
When someone really likes you,
they'll wanna spend more time with you,
so they may start brainstorming some fun online games
and activities to do together.
For example, playing "Would you rather" online card games,
or video games together are all great activities
to stay entertained and safe.
Have you two tried virtual activities?
If so, there's a good chance
they really treasure spending time with you,
and that the feelings are mutual.
Number four, they want to call.
Are all your online interactions texting,
or do you call too?
While not as intimate as talking face to face,
calling still offers real-time interaction and reactions.
Texting can grow tiring and tedious at times.
Simply put, it isn't always enough when it comes to people
you really care about and enjoy talking to.
So, if your crush wants to call too,
it's a good sign they're craving more interaction
and may like you back.
Number five, when video calling
they put effort into their appearance.
Do you two plan to call at a certain time?
If so, what do they look like when you call?
While people may not be able to physically go out anymore,
the same principle of wanting to look attractive
for someone you like applies to virtual interactions too.
When you have a crush on someone
you'll wanna look your best,
from styling your hair to tidying up your room.
On the other hand, if they view you more as a friend
or sibling type bond,
they may care less about looking attractive around you.
So, the next time you call,
try to pay attention to how they present themselves,
since it can say a lot about how they see you.
Number six, they tell you everything.
Are you the only one who knows about
their embarrassing childhood stories?
How about that one awkward secret
that they've kept all these years?
If someone really likes you,
chances are they'll trust you
and be more vulnerable than normal.
And this vulnerability also deepens your bond,
which is so important in any long-term relationship.
And you two stay up all night calling
and talking about anything?
If so, chances are they really like you back.
Number seven, they pick up your texting phrases.
Do you have any funny texting habits?
If so, comment them down below.
When you talk to someone a lot, whether in person or online,
you'll both subconsciously and consciously
pick up on each other's speech patterns,
mirroring as a sign of closeness and compatibility
because it forms empathy, which deepens our bonds.
So if this describes you and your crush,
there's a good chance they like you back.
And number eight, when texting they use emojis.
Look back at the last text you got from them.
How many emojis did they use?
While it may sound random,
there's actually a good explanation behind
why emojis may indicate whether someone likes you.
When texting, it's much harder to show emotions
such as excitement, nervousness and embarrassment
without facial expressions and body language.
So, in order to better convey how they're feeling,
they'll use fun emojis to show
that talking to you makes them happy.
They may also use them to indicate tone, sarcasm, or a joke.
Anything to emulate in person facial expressions.
So, do you think your crush likes you back?
The bottom line is that no one can know for sure
whether the feeling is mutual.
It could be that both sides are afraid to speak up.
So with that in mind,
don't be afraid to put yourself out there,
don't be scared of taking chances
and pursuing the things that make you happy.
