- [Female Voice] They like me. They like me not.
They like me?
- [Narrator] If you clicked on this video,
chances are you are secretly harboring romantic feelings
for someone who is quite reserved.
And you wanna know if your feelings are mutual.
Challenge becomes tougher when your crush
has a shy personality as they can be a little hard to read.
So we're here to help you look for the signs
that a shy someone likes you.
Number one, they become silent and fidgety around you.
When someone is shy, they may not have enough confidence
in themselves to flirt with the person they like.
When their crush comes around,
it's like everything becomes tense and stressful.
They think too much about the right thing to say or do.
This makes them nervous.
So they fidget, tug at their hair,
twist their shirt or play with their fingers.
So, watch out for those sudden change.
You're causing tension for some reason.
Maybe it's a good one.
Number two, they create opportunities to be around you.
They're not going to be in your face, asking you out.
They're shy.
So, they'll try to be where you are by amazing coincidence.
Well, far more frequently than actual coincidence.
This is especially notable
if you see them somewhere you know
isn't one of their usual hangouts.
This means they're taking a huge step
out of their comfort zone just to be around you.
But what if you're already friends?
If you suggest something new,
they'll see it as another chance to spend time with you
and probably won't pass it up.
And even if the new thing seem strange to them,
they'll still try just to be in your company.
Number three, they talk to you online.
People who are shy need a shield.
And for many that shield is being online.
Face to face interactions can feel stressful
because they have to get it right the first time.
But online there's a backspace, delete
and the option to not use the camera.
If they make a mistake, they have a way out.
Since typed words don't convey emotions as accurately
as spoken ones, they can explain themselves.
In other words, they have some time to think
and give a satisfactory response.
This makes them feel more at ease
and lets them be more real with you.
Number four, they seem to be imitating you.
Not like that annoying younger sibling thing.
You move around in your seat and they do the same.
And if you rest your chin on your hand, they'll do the same.
This is actually called behavior mirroring
and is believed to help establish a connection
through the "Like Equals Like" concept.
Number five, they struggle to maintain eye contact with you.
As soon as they look at you,
their eyes immediately move to another place.
They might look at your hand or over your shoulder
but never directly at you.
They might look back at you for a split second
once in a while.
It is easy to overlook.
They want to look at you, but it makes their insides
go all wibbly-wobbly because of their intense feelings
for you making them extra nervous.
So, for the sake of not giving themselves an anxiety attack,
they just have to look away from your brilliance.
Number six, they notice everything about you,
even your social media posts.
Look out for the person who likes almost all your posts
and comments on them.
Maybe they may even say something
like the sunset picture you took this time is clearer
than the other three from the same spot
to show that they've been paying close attention.
In fact, they will see a lot of changes in you
even in significant ones.
Say, you wanted to wear a different watch.
They might ask what happened to the other one
or they might comment on how short you had to file one nail
because it broke the other day.
People don't tend to be that attentive unless they like you
or they're being paid.
And being paid to do so
is not the most likely scenario here.
Number seven, they surprise you with small gestures.
This is because they notice everything about you.
You may mention your favorite book or author.
And a little while later,
you may find them reading one of those favorites.
You may recommend some new music and suddenly their playlist
is filled with all your recommendations.
They're showing you that they value your likes and opinions.
They're paying attention and trying to connect.
To avoid the possibility of being rejected
your crush is doing what they can
and in their own way to tell them, "I like you."
So take note, acknowledge them.
And if you feel the same way, don't leave them hanging.
Which of these signs have you noticed before or now?
