- [Narrator] When you have a crush on someone,
every interaction can feel like a potential clue
to their feelings.
Micro-flirting involves those subtle,
often unintentional gestures and behaviors
that suggest someone may be interested in you romantically.
In this video,
we'll explore the signs that go
beyond mere friendliness
and could indicate your crush
has a romantic interest in you.
Let's decide the subtle language of micro-flirting
and find out if your crush is dropping you hints
you shouldn't miss.
Playful teasing.
Do they always tease you?
For example, they say things like, "Another selfie,
you must be trying to break the internet
with your amazing dog face skills."
Micro-flirting also involves lighthearted teasing,
creating a sense of intimacy and comfort.
Backhanded compliments allow someone to test the waters
and see if you respond in a favorable manner.
Teasing conversations include
not talking about anything substantial,
but sending out flirty signals all the same.
This is a surefire flirting sign,
whether in person or over text,
while not the most straightforward way to flirt,
it's extremely common for people
who don't want to make their intentions obvious.
Eye Contact.
Do they have a hard time taking their eyes off you?
If they maintain eye contact for longer than usual,
it can be a sign of micro-flirting,
even after you've broken eye contact.
Researchers found that participants
who gazed into each other's eyes for prolonged periods
were more likely to report
feelings of affection for the other person.

- [Narrator] Social Media.
Social media makes it easy to flirt
when it can't quite happen in real life.
With all the content flying around nowadays
if someone takes the time to check out everything you post,
you know there's more than meets the eye.
If you notice someone consistently engaging
with your content
such as frequently leaving heart emojis in your comments,
it might be worth investigating further.
They may comment on the social media posts
with inside jokes you are not privy to,
or like everyday posts
and every single status update,
it feels like they're closely following
the other person's every move.
Increased attentiveness.
Do they have a habit of becoming all too charming
around you every single time?
And when you spend time with this friend of theirs,
it feels as if their whole personality changes.
They may become more outgoing than usual,
which is different than their usual behavior
when alone with you.
Body language can easily give away indications
of a romantic interest.
Notice if they lean closer during conversations
or mirror gestures or movements.
Deep Compliments.
Has this person ever showered you with heartfelt compliments
that go beyond the usual pleasantries,
and not just superficial compliments
like saying, "You look pretty?"
They go a step further
and give you more meaningful compliments,
such as work ethic or skills.
This indicates paying a lot more attention
that is slightly more personal or specific
than ones given in a friendlier context,
and possibly even showing more appreciation
than they do for you.
Fidgeting.
Yes, you heard that right.
Those little fidgets and movements people make
can actually be subtle forms of flirting.
It's a nonverbal language worth decoding.
That subtle tapping of fingers, twirling of hair,
or even just playing with an object
can convey interest, attraction,
or even a hint of shyness.
So the next time you catch someone fidgeting
during a conversation,
pay close attention,
it might just be their way of micro-flirting,
saying more than words ever could.
Using Nicknames.
When someone gives you a nickname
or a special term of endearment,
it signifies that they are taking the time
to personalize their interactions with you.
This means they are paying attention to you as an individual
and want to create a unique connection.
Nicknames and terms of endearment
create a sense of intimacy and closeness.
They often involve using pet names like "Sweetie," "Honey,"
or even more personalized terms
that may be based on an inside joke or a shared experience.
These terms can be used to create a private
and special connection between the two of you.
