okay the Secret's out you have a crush
each time that person Smiles your entire
world lights up now you are torn between
confessing your feelings to your crush
or keeping it hidden getting rejected is
simply out of the question so we can't
just ask if you can relate here are some
non-verbal signs your crush likes you to
make it easier to ask them out
the window to the soul and heart
can you really know someone's true
feelings by staring into their eyes you
may have heard the saying the eyes are
the windows to the soul before but do
you know that pupils are literally the
windows to the eye cognitive
psychologist Dr David Ludden explained
that the eyes may reveal a great deal
about another person's emotional state
furthermore according to a 2015 study
about pupil size it was found that the
size of your pupils speaks volumes about
your emotions and intentions since we
can't control the size of our pupils our
pupils are a genuine indication of
sexual or social interest
the bigger the pupils the more
interested we are imagine you're
politely pretending to be interested in
what your neighbor is saying as she
describes every detail of her trip to
the spa you're so committed to your
character that you decide to fake a
smile even though your mouth is smiling
your pupils will be small giving away
the fact that you couldn't be less
interested
okay what does this mean
the next time your crush looks at you
lock eyes and just for a moment do their
pupils get bigger if so this might be a
sign they have a crush on you
preening
when you're getting ready for a date do
you spend the majority of the time in
front of a mirror making sure
everything's in its place
course you want to make a good
impression but what about your crush
does your crush brush their hair away
from their face while you look away
maybe they tuck at their clothes and
brush off lint when they see you
unexpectedly according to a study led by
researcher John dally these patterns of
behaviors oriented towards improving
one's physical appearance in Social
environments are known as preening yeah
like a bird researchers Mark Knapp led a
study that explained that we Preen more
when we're forming an intimate
connection rather than when we're in a
committed relationship what does this
mean we usually Preen ourselves in the
flirting or Crush phase of the
relationship to get them interested more
than those in a committed relationship
so if you notice that your crush has
some oh my God how do I look moments
they might like you
off balance or magnetism the next time
you're talking to your crush take a
moment to check how your body looks
where are your arms and legs where is
your body facing are you leaning in any
direction couple's therapist Terry
orbuck stated in Women's Health magazine
that when someone is leaning towards you
it gives a signal of interest and trust
this can even mean that they want to be
physically closer to you or intimate
with you how does your body look when
you're mad crossed arms not facing the
person you're mad at strong stance with
hip popped out if you're standing legs
crossed if you're sitting the next time
you're sitting in front of your crush
look at their body posture is their body
angled towards you is there chair
positioned nearer to yours if so there
may be a high possibility that they like
you Mirror Mirror according to sex and
relationship therapist Courtney getter
in a mind-body green article we
unconsciously imitate someone's
behaviors mannerisms and other gestures
when we find them attractive this active
imitation is known as mirroring it's a
non-verbal way to demonstrate empathy
and affection a signal of connecting and
bonding and that you're engaged in the
conversation you're having does your
crush uncross their legs after you
uncross yours do they speak using the
same words as yours professor of
Psychology and Neuroscience Dr Yuri
Hassan and his colleagues found that
these shared behaviors are more than
just mirroring functional MRIs were used
to investigate the brain movements of
listeners and speakers they found that
the listeners brain movements react to
the speakers and the connection becomes
a wireless form of cerebral bonding So
after talking with and hanging out with
that special someone enough mirroring
tends to be the result well I guess it's
true as the saying goes imitation is the
sincerest form of flattery you
remembered let's say one of your friends
suggests in the group chat that you all
go for dinner at a seafood restaurant
suddenly your crush speaks up and
suggests the new Indian restaurant
instead because they remember you're
allergic to Seafood marriage and family
therapist Allison Osborne Corcoran
reveals in a best life article that when
a person is interested in you they make
an effort to catch even the smallest
details or things you've mentioned to
them even in passing maybe they'll
remember your order at Starbucks or even
your cat's birthday cognitive
psychologist Dr Sandra langleg led a
study that demonstrated when we admire
someone we tend to remember information
associated with them better for example
a person is more likely to notice and
remember their beloved's favorite dish
on a restaurant menu or which pillow is
your favorite to lay on they remember
those seemingly insignificant details
because the person is significant to
them when we care about someone we make
an effort to recall things that are
significant to the person there is no
Surefire method to know if someone likes
you unless they explicitly tell you
however actions always speak louder than
words if they like you they'll show you
but sometimes you have to take the first
step yourself and simply ask life is too
short to spend time second guessing
right are there other non-verbal signs
you can use to tell if someone likes you
let us know in the comments we hope
these signs help you to ask your crush
out thanks for watching and we'll see
you next time
