- [Amanda] Hey, Psych2Goers
and welcome back to another video.
Thank you so much for your love and support,
enabling us to make yet another exploration
into everyday psychology.
So, let's begin.
Are you getting a tugging feeling
that someone likes you,
but they've been giving you mixed signals
and you have no idea what is going on?
Well, there are people who would
straight up ask you out
and tell you how they feel towards you.
But, there are others who are not into this approach,
and sometimes their behaviors
can get super confusing and mysterious.
To help you to get more clarity and affirmation,
here's a list of clear indications
that someone likes you,
but is trying not to show it by pretending.
Number one, they're hot and cold towards you.
Ah, yes, the hot and cold treatment.
We've all been through this before, haven't we?
Are there moments where
they would text you all day long
and then next thing you know,
without any warning,
they just ignore you completely.
This behavior will certainly make you
wonder if they like you,
or are you just thinking too much?
Well, it usually shows that they like you a lot,
but they feel unsure of what they want
and get scared of their feelings towards you.
Hence by doing this,
they don't have to justify their behavior
when they show too much affection.
Two, they notice and remember every detail about you.
Have they ever surprised you
by recalling details about those
not so obvious habits of yours?
If you start to observe
that they notice every detail about you
or remember what you mentioned sometime back,
whether it's something important or a totally random,
you can be sure that
they are definitely paying close attention to you
and want to learn more about you.
Three, they ask you lots of personal questions.
Do they show a keen interest in getting to know you?
Do they always have a question for you?
They're most likely asking
questions about your upbringing
or even how your day was.
They like to update your profile
created in their heads.
If someone is not interested,
why would they invest their time
in trying to know more about you?
It doesn't make sense at all, right?
Number four, they display positive
body language signs around you.
Are they always sitting close to you?
Or have you noticed that
there has been prolonged eye contact?
Leaning in when talking to you and so on?
we're not talking about buddy pats on the back,
but touches that are softer,
more sensual and emotional.
Small, yet powerful moves.
Positive body language is a huge telltale sign
that they're into you.
Even if they pretend what their words,
their body language gives them away.
Five, they always make time for you.
One of the most obvious ways
to know if someone likes you
is the amount of time they spend with you.
Let's be honest,
time is the most important asset
that one can invest in others.
If they're always making time
to hang out with you one-on-one
or go out of their way to be
there for you when needed,
it shows that they are
genuinely interested in you
and care about you.
Six, their friends keep their boundaries.
When you're hanging out with them and their friends,
is it clear that their friends
have boundaries around you?
If that is the case,
they've probably already mentioned
their interest and intention towards you
to the people around them.
Creating this awareness
is also a way for them to keep their friends
from making a move on you unintentionally.
And number seven, they make comments
about you being together.
Last but not least,
no one will ever make a comment
or joke about the idea of you two getting together
because it would create false hopes.
So when this happened,
you can know for sure
that it has been on their mind
and they've been thinking about the idea
of you two being together seriously.
There are a number of reasons
why someone pretends not to like you,
even though they're interested.
They could be nervous,
unsure of your feelings towards them,
trying to suppress their feelings,
not looking for a relationship,
or emotionally not ready.
While at it,
these pretenders need to be given
the space needed to process their thoughts
and admit how much they actually like you.
Do you now have a better understanding of the signs
someone likes you while pretending not to?
Does anyone you know
exhibit any of these behaviors around you?
