Naturally, we all want to avoid heartache, and this is making many of us extremely cautious of who we open up to romantically.
But the fact is, crushes are what moves our hearts, and if you are wondering whether a crush of yours likes you, maybe you should go ahead and ask them.
What’s the worst thing that could happen?
If you have a gut feeling that someone likes you, and you feel the same way too, you should express your feelings openly.
However, if you aren’t sure whether someone has a crush on you or not, below is a list that could definitely help you with that.
1. Smiling
When there’s genuine elation about seeing someone, smiling can be involuntary. Pay attention if the smile aimed at you shines through their entire face and lights up their eyes. Big, honest smiles are a sign of pure happiness and can indicate that this person has a crush on you.
2. Steals quick glances at you
This is likely one of the most obvious signs that someone has a crush on you. If you keep catching that person staring at you on numerous occasions, then you can be sure that those are not simply coincidences and they might truly be into you.
3. Interested in your life
Under normal circumstances, a person would not be too keen on knowing about details such as your favorite color or your thoughts on star sign compatibility. If they intensely keep on wanting to know all kinds of things about you, they’ve most likely chosen you as ‘the one.’
4. Always offering their help
If the one you believe might have a crush on you constantly offers to help you with anything, that is a possible sign that they’re trying to prove their worth to you.
5. Sends you and responds with long messages
If you are communicating with your potential crush, keep an eye on how quickly they reply to you and how long their text messages are. If they often send you lengthy texts even if they could be answered with a simple yes or no, that is a sign that they want to keep the conversation flowing.
6. Shares personal details/secrets with you
If that person feels at ease to share their secrets with you even though you aren’t best buddies, this could be a sign that they have a crush on you. This behavior could be an indication that they want to open up to you about their life because they seek your trust and acceptance.
7. Any time you’re around, they’re looking suspiciously presentable
When you’re into someone and you know you’d be crossing paths with them, you’d normally put in some effort to make yourself more attractive to them. And of course the same goes for the one who has a crush on you. So, if you notice that he or she looks unusually good when you see each other during expected meetups than when you accidentally cross paths, then they’re most likely trying to get your attention.
8. Always finds a way to be close to you
If you realize that, even though you aren’t taking any action, for some reason you always end up in the same group or sitting next to each other, then this might indicate that this person is doing everything possible to be near you. Also, keep an eye on how they act when you’re around. Do they constantly find themselves moving in places near you? Could it be pure coincidence, or is it by design?
9. Changes the way they act when you’re around
When someone we fancy comes near us, we normally either tense up or become overexcited to the point of looking a little looney. If a crush likes you, then naturally they would feel the same way too. Try to observe how they act when you’re around versus when you’re not in close proximity to them to make sure. You can even ask a friend to help you out with this task.
10. Changes mood when you’re spending time with another person
How does that person start acting when they see you having a smiley chat with someone of the opposite sex? If you notice a strange negative change in their behavior, then this might be a clue that you mean something to them and they aren’t too happy about you sharing moments of excitement with someone else.
