How can you tell if your crush likes you back

If your crush notices every little detail about your schedule, life, and personality, they are probably noticing more than they should. So, today we will tell you 5 basic signs that your crush is secretly interested in you.

We begin to develop feelings for someone or in other words start having crush on them. However, it is not uncommon for the other person to remain silent. So all you have to do is keep an eye out for them to see if they are responding to your feelings or not. Here are 5 basic signs that your crush is secretly interested in you.

How To Know If Your Crush Likes You Back? 5 Basic Signs To Watch Out For:

Eye-contact: Check whether if your crush is looking you in the eyes. Speaks to you, jokes or laughs with you, you can be sure that their feelings are more than friendly. Before deciding on the intent or feeling behind them, pay close attention to how frequently and intensely they hold your sights.

He shares everything with you: Even if you aren’t best friends, if your crush shares secrets with you comfortably, it could be a sign that he likes you. This behavior could indicate that he wants to open up about his life with you in order to gain your trust and loyalty.

Hypes you up: If he tracks your talents, praises your achievements, compliments your appearance, or says you smell nice, your crush is surely interested in you as more than a friend.

Paying attention to the little details: If your crush notices all of the minor details about your schedule, life, and personality, you can be certain that they are paying more attention than they should. Even so, chances are they like you more than you think. It could be as simple as a childhood memory or a favorite song.

Ask for your contact information: If the person likes you, he will eventually ask for your phone number and permission to add you on social media. He’d finally muster up the courage to do it.

You think about them and their eyes, their smile, their face and their lips that are so… — wait, wait wait. Hold on for a second. You can’t.

After all, you don’t want to have feelings for someone who may not like you back.

That’s why you need to know the answer to this question:

Does my crush like me?

After all, nothing feels better than having a crush and finding out your crush likes you too.

It’s when you see that they enjoy your company, laugh at your jokes, and spend more time with you. Suddenly, the possibility of them liking you back isn’t too far from your reality.

But how exactly do you know if that person likes you?

I put together 26 sure-fire ways to know if your crush might be crushing on you too.

1. They ask about your relationship status

If a person likes you, they probably want to know if you’re single or taken.

They’ll either ask you directly whether you have a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Or they’ll assume you have one and instead ask questions about who you’ve been spending time with lately. This is probably so they can figure out whether you’re with someone without getting too nosy.

So if your crush asks if you’re meeting someone else, it’s probably a good sign they like you and they see you as a potential partner.

2. They know things about you that you didn’t tell them

This is a classic sign!

If your crush happens to know a lot of things about you and you’re wondering why, chances are they have done some research about you.

Your crush may have asked a friend of yours, stalked your social media accounts, or they’ve been crushing on you long before you even realized that you’re crushing on them.

If this is the case, this could be a sign that your crush is interested in you and they took some extra effort to get to know you.

3. They look at you … a lot

People say that the eyes are the window to the soul.

If you catch your crush looking at you more than you would expect them to, it could be a sign that they like what they are seeing.

If there are no evident reasons for your crush to look at you but they still do, you can take that as a sign of interest.

Or maybe you’ve got something on your face. Let’s just hope it’s the former.

4. Their friends act weird when you’re together

It’s a strange feeling to be around two people who like each other. Sometimes, we don’t even know these people like each other but we intuitively pick up on the sexual tension.

If your crush’s friends start acting weird whenever you are around or they tease the both of you, the chances are they already can pick up on the tension between you and your crush.

It could even be the case that your crush has already told them and they are trying to give you a hint.

If this is the case, there’s a high chance your crush likes you too but he/she is still not ready to tell you.

Don’t always assume though. Try to get to know your crush first and make sure you’re on the same page before making any early assumptions.

5. They find ways to get close to you

When we like someone, we subconsciously try to get within their proximity.

It may happen at a party. Someone approaches you and sticks around.

Or perhaps they don’t approach you directly, but they’re always nearby.

Maybe your crush asks you to hang out and get some food with them.

Perhaps they join your local dancing club.

Whatever the situation, if your crush always seems to be around, they probably want to be closer with you.

If your crush is getting closer to you, they probably like you. If your crush also approaches you often and tries to find ways to be near you, it could be a great sign that they are starting to see you more than as a friend.

6. They always reply to your messages

Don’t you hate it when you send someone a message and you only get crickets in return?

via GIPHY

This won’t happen with someone who also has a crush on you.

Immediately responding to a message is a hint that someone doesn’t take your attention for granted. If your crush is always trying to initiate conversation and they text back quickly, chances are they like talking with you and they will try to prolong the conversation so they could spend more time getting to know you.

On the other hand, if they take hours and days to reply to you, that might be a sign they’re not into you.

If you want your crush to like you, then you need to grab his attention like a Hollywood screenwriter would.

7. Their body language changes

The saying “actions speak louder than words” makes a lot of sense when you want to know if a person likes you or not.

From simple gestures such as touching your arms, your shoulders, or holding eye contact with you, you can tell if someone is into you.

If your crush touches you frequently and shows open body language, they might be trying to give you subtle hints. Or they want you to know they are comfortable with your presence.

Here’s the key point:

If you’re not sure whether someone likes you or not, don’t focus so much on what they’re saying. Keep an eye on how they’re acting.

8. They tell you something about themselves that nobody knows

Ask yourself this question:

Does your crush open up to you?

If your crush tells you something they normally wouldn’t tell anyone (such as their secrets and embarrassing stories), it shows that you have gained their trust and you are one step closer to being their next partner.

After all, a trustworthy person is a dependable and likable person. So whenever your crush tells you a secret, listen to them and show that you’re the kind of person that could be trusted and depended on.

9. Their mood darkens when you’re with someone else

Do you know the most sinking feeling you can have?

It’s when you see the person you have a crush on with someone else.

Well, it goes both ways.

If you’re hanging out with someone else and your crush starts acting strange, it might be because they are jealous.

As human beings, we all want and need attention. But when that attention isn’t given to us (especially by someone we like) we tend to get jealous and emotions start swirling.

So if your crush starts acting a bit weird and doesn’t want you being with people who could steal you away from them, don’t worry, your crush is probably getting jealous and that is an obvious sign that they like you and they want to keep your attention.

10. They do what you do.

When someone feels comfortable around you, they are going to want you to feel comfortable around them.

Our subconscious creates a situation where they will start to mirror your actions, body language, behavior, and position.

For example, if you are standing with your hands in your pockets, the person pining for your attention is going to stand with their hands in their pockets.

The might not even realize they are doing it, which just makes it even more interesting if you notice before they do.

And if they do notice, they might get weird about it and quickly change positions. But you’ll know their secret.

11. They laugh at everything you do (in a good way!).

Many studies have concluded that funny people are sexy people.

If your crush is laughing at everything you do – in a good way, of course – then there’s a pretty good chance that they are picking up what you’re putting down.

Love makes us see things and people in new ways. It’s why the person you loathe at the office can one day become the person you admire and adore.

Proximity has a lot to do with it but if someone is funny, we see them in a different way.

12. Proximity

We want to be close to the people we love.

Again, this is something that we don’t always have conscious control over.

You might sit next to the same guy in the office cafeteria for months and never notice him and then one day realize he’s pretty cute.

The same might be said of him: it’s not that you are sitting next to him every day during lunch, but that he actually comes and sits next to you.

By placing himself near you on a regular basis, proximity takes over and eventually, you’ll notice that he’s there, and he’s cute, and he’s a great guy.

13. They stand facing you

One funny thing that people in love do is stand with their feet facing the person they love.

Even if the rest of their body is turned away from their crush, their feet will always be at the ready to move them closer to someone who is important to them.

If you are in the same room as your crush and are keenly looking away from them trying not to stare, take a quick look at your feet and see what direction they are pointed in – chances are they are facing directly toward the person who has your attention.

Watch for this sign when a guy or girl you think likes you is standing around with some friends. Where, or should we ask, who are their feet pointed toward?

14. He wants to help (and she lets him)

Men thrive on solving women’s problems.

If you have something you need fixed, or your computer is acting up, or if you have a problem in life and you simply need some advice, then seek your man out.

A man wants to feel essential. And he wants to be the first person you turn to when you genuinely need help.

Although asking for your man’s help may seem fairly innocuous, it actually helps to trigger something deep within him. Something that is crucial to a loving, long term relationship.

For a man, feeling essential to a woman is often what separates “like” from “love”

Don’t get me wrong, no doubt your guy loves your strength and abilities to be independent. But he still wants to feel wanted and useful — not dispensable!

Simply put, men have a biological drive to feel needed, to feel important, and to provide for the woman he cares about.

15. They remember important details and dates.

Someone in love remembers the little things such as birthdays, anniversaries, your cat’s birthday.

They remember because you are important to them. When someone is important to us, we take it upon ourselves to remember things that are important to them.

If you think someone likes you, or maybe even loves you, watch for signs they are paying attention.

Do they remember the exact date when everyone went to the lake together? Do they remember a dress or shirt you wore that one time for a surprise party?

The devil is in the details.

16. They touch you.

Someone in love wants to be near you, but also to touch you. They will reach out and touch your arm or hand.

They may brush up against you when passing or touch your leg with their leg when seated at a table.

They might literally play footsie with you under the table. Who knows! The point is that when someone likes you, they want to be physically near you, but they also want to have the sensation of touching you.

If you find yourself reaching for a guy or girl’s arm to make a point, laugh at a joke, or simply make a connection, or if someone is doing that to you, love is surely in the air!

17. They admit it

This is probably the easiest and most direct way to know if your crush likes you too.

You can either be straightforward with your feelings and ask them or you can wait for them to tell you.

But being straightforward may be the best approach. It gives you a chance to be honest with the person you have a crush on, and they also get the chance to admit it back to you.

Admitting your feelings to someone might be embarrassing and nerve-racking from the fear of rejection. But if you really like a person and you want to get to know them better, you might as well tell them.

You can also opt for a safer approach and wait for them to tell you.

But if you both won’t admit your feelings to each other, your relationship is not going anywhere.

So it’s better to rip the band-aid off and get on with it.

There are two things that could happen, both of which are good things:

1. Your crush likes you too. You live happily ever after!
2. Your crush isn’t into you. You’ll go through some temporary pain, but it will bring you one step closer to someone who actually appreciates you for who you are.

Remember — you are an incredible and unique human being. The brutal truth is that not everyone is going to like you back. Just the same as you not liking everyone who crosses your path.

But that’s okay. It’s what makes life so exciting.

And it is also what gives depth to our relationships.

There’s no greater feeling than having a crush who likes you back. Embrace it. Face it head-on.

Ask your crush if they are into you as well. Only good things can come from it.

18. They use the same body language and slang as you

If it suddenly feels like you’re looking in a mirror when you are talking to them, there’s a good chance that they like you.

Why?

Because when someone likes you and has a good rapport with you, then subconsciously they start to act like them.

This can mean using the same mannerisms and hand movements when they are talking. It could mean talking at the same speed. For example, if you’re naturally a slow speaker, and they start speaking slow, that’s a great sign that they like you.

It’s important to remember that they may not necessarily like you romantically. But they do like you, even if it is as a friend.

So if you “see yourself” in their actions, then their feelings could be for real.

This is actually rooted in the brain’s Mirror Neuron System. This network of the brain is the social glue that binds people together.

A greater level of activation of the Mirror Neuron System is associated with liking and cooperation.

19. They lean in when they’re talking to you

When someone is truly listening and interesting in what you’re saying, they’re naturally moving closer and lean in.

This is a subconscious action that signifies interest.

For example, you see this a lot in important business meetings because both parties are invested in the conversation.

What will they do?

They may lower their head, lean in while you talk, and even move their body closers to yours – without even realizing it.

If you’re out at a bar one night, look around. You’ll find that a lot of the men who are trying to pick up girls are naturally leaning in so much that it looks like they might fall over!

20. Are they pointing their feet towards you?

One of the weirdest things that someone does if they genuinely like you is that they will point their feet towards you.

This also happens subsconously.

So if they are turned to talk to someone else, but their feet are pointed in your direction, then there’s a good chance they have a crush on you.

What our feet do is the one thing we don’t consciously control, so it’s an excellent sign that they like you.

21. They blush

Blushing is a natural physical reaction that happens when you receive an unexpected compliment.

It also happens if someone you like gives you the attention and you can’t help but get a pink tinge on your face from embarrassment.

So if you find that they naturally blush around you, that’s a great sign that they like you.

However, it’s important to figure out if they blush around other people as well.

22. They’re chatting to constantly on social media

When someone is on social media, it’s their free time. They could literally be doing anything they want.

So if they’re using that time to talk to you, then that’s a great sign that they enjoy talking with you and spending their free time with you.

What you do need to watch out for is if they’re just giving you one-word answers. That’s not a great sign that they like you.

But if their responses are thoughtful, that’s a great sign that they like you.

23. They stand taller, pull their shoulders back and suck their stomach in

This is a great sign that someone likes you.

Why?

Because subconsciously they want to impress you and that means that their body will react accordingly.

A great way to check out their posture is when they walk past you. If they like you, they’ll be very conscious that you’re looking, which means they’ll push their shoulders back, puff their chest out and suck their stomach in.

24. They’re preening themselves

Preening refers to the act of “fixing oneself” in different ways.

It could be adjusting their clothes, running fingers through their hair, or touching their face.

After all, if they like you they want to look better around you. And of course, people are naturally fidgety when they’re anxious and nervous.

And if they like you, it’s likely that they’ll be experiencing nervous tension.

Preening is a subconscious way to advertise one’s interest and encourage you to escalate the seduction.

Here’s an example of a female preening yourself:

25. They’re nervous around you

We can probably all relate to this. When you get those pesky butterflies in your stomach when you’re with someone, it could be a good chance they like you.

After all, the nerves hit because you want to make a good impression for them to like you.

So to figure out of their nervous, look for these signs:

– Are they fidgeting?

– Are they talking faster than usual?

– Are they show nervous body signs like sweating or looking down when you get eye contact?

Remember, some people might hide their nerves fairly well, but if you’re observant, you should be able to notice some physical indicators of nervousness.

And if you can, then there’s a big chance they have a crush on you.

26. Their eyebrow lifts when they watch you

When someone raises both of their eyebrows (or one eyebrow) it means that they are fascinated or interested in what they are looking at.

If that stare is directed at you, then it means that they are picking up what you’re putting down.

And keep in mind that if they are staring at you and lifting their eyebrow while looking at your face, then they have genuine feelings for you.

Key takeaway

Want to know the best way to know if they like you? Ask them. Or let them know you like them. There’s no need to play games. Cut to the chase and let them know how you feel.

If you’re crush does like you, then you need to make sure your relationship is a passionate and long lasting one.

But there’s one crucial ingredient to relationship success I think many women overlook:

Understanding what their guy is thinking at a deep level.

Let’s face it: Men see the world differently to you and we want different things from a relationship.

This can make a passionate and long lasting relationship — something that men actually want deep down as well — really difficult to achieve.

While getting your guy to open up and tell you what he’s thinking can feel like an impossible task… there’s a new way to understand what’s driving him.
