hey sectagors do you sometimes have a
hard time telling whether or not someone
likes you it can be pretty difficult
sometimes but there may be a few subtle
ways you can tell to help you out here
are six psychological ways to tell if
your crush likes you
number one they act flustered silly and
sweat when they're around you
how nervous do you get around your crush
odds are if they like you too they may
just be as anxious as you are most
people tend to get a bit flustered when
they're around someone they're attracted
to stammering breaking out in sweats and
clammy hands can be signs someone likes
you so much that you make them nervous
sometimes attraction can make us a bit
silly or even dumb
researchers 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 so
next time you're around someone you like
pay close attention do they always break
out in sweat can they not speak as
eloquently as they usually do maybe they
simply have a secret crush on you
number two they remove any barriers
between the two of you
do you notice your crush removes any
barriers between them as soon as you
approach do they ever so subtly scoot
closer to you when you're near
do they lean more so towards you than
anyone else in a group
well according to psychologist jack
shafer people lean towards people they
like and distance themselves from people
they dislike inward leaning increases as
rapport increases meaning you may first
turn your head towards someone and then
your shoulders followed by your torso
then if you're really interested in what
someone has to say you'll lean towards
them so if someone is attracted to you
odds are they may just lean towards you
when they get the chance not just to be
closer but because they are deeply
interested in what you have to say and
who you are dr jack schaefer also
explains in psychology today that people
who like each other remove any obstacles
between them he continues to say that a
barrier does not necessarily mean that
someone doesn't like you but it may just
show your report isn't as strong as you
hoped it to be try to get to know them a
bit more and share some interests of
yours your rapport may just increase
number three they mirror your behavior
have you noticed someone mirroring your
behaviors even to the point that they
almost subtly adopt your style of
speaking or language
well sometimes when someone really likes
or admires someone they'll
subconsciously mimic their behavior
you've probably done it too think about
it have you ever found yourself adopting
someone else's gestures or movements at
a party or social setting
it's not that you consciously intended
it then hey maybe you did but yet here
you are suddenly acting and speaking
like your crush
this psychological phenomenon is called
the chameleon effect and was explored in
further studies people tend to
subconsciously mimic other people's
behavior in certain settings that is if
we like them so if you catch someone
mimicking you they either want to be
your friend or they may just feel
attracted to you number four their
pupils dilate when they look at you
okay so next time you see a crush look
into their eyes yeah i know maybe
difficult since you get all nervous and
sweaty around them and start babbling
like a fool but hey it's worth a shot
why do this you may ask because you'll
want to notice if their pupils dilate
according to body language expert patty
wood author of success signals a guide
to reading body language dilation is a
brain response that occurs when you like
and aren't attracted to something so if
you notice someone's pupils dilate when
they look deeply into your eyes
mid-conversation this could likely be a
sign they're attracted to you and then
if your pupils dilate an attraction as
well it's a good thing to be revealed
number five their face is flushed when
they see you or talk to you
something else to pay attention to along
with staring into their eyes the next
time you see them notice that their face
becomes flushed when you look at them
when people are attracted to someone
they can become anxious a kick of
adrenaline and suddenly they're flushing
if you notice someone often blushes
around you and their face becomes red
when you're talking to them they may
very well like you as much as you like
them and number six their smile is
suddenly genuine when you're near
do you smile when you slip into the
sweet bliss of daydreaming about your
crush if you could only take them to
your favorite taco stand and introduce
them to your pet turtle larry ah well i
suppose you'll have to figure out if
they like you first
well when you're around them notice how
often they smile and what kind of smile
they have on their face have you ever
heard of the duchenne smile
there are a few common facial
expressions that can give way to what
someone is really thinking or feeling
addition smile is one of them want to
know if someone is genuinely smiling in
delight you can simply look out for this
smile according to healthline this
occurs when the zygomaticus major muscle
lifts the corners of your mouth at the
same time the orbicularis oculi muscles
lift your cheeks and crinkle your eyes
at the corners basically it's the type
of smile that reaches up to your eyes
causing those wrinkles by your eyes
known as crow's feet to appear this type
of smile appears when someone is
genuinely happy as opposed to a polite
and kind smile or even a four smile
now are they happy to see you because
you're their friend or because they like
you
well if they have several of the above
signs it looks like you'll be
introducing them to larry after all

signs do they exhibit feel free to share
