Ok, so you're crushing on a girl or guy. But how can you tell if this person likes you back? This article will help you find out.
->Body Language
This is how people say a lot without actually talking. How is this, you ask? Our body can give away our feelings in many ways, such as a raised eyebrow when we're confused, or a tapping foot when we're impatient. Clues like these can help with dating. Many times we know someone likes us, but can't place why. It's usually the body language that we pick up on. Here are some signs that someone is into you:
-His/her pupils dilate when first seeing you. This happens when someone is interested in anything or anyone. Trained eyes can catch this dilation despite its subtlety.
-Whether standing or sitting, this person's body is angled towards you when attracted. If this special someone crosses his/her leg, it's probably pointed your way. Be careful of crossed arms though. This is usually standoffish behavior unless the person is just nervous in your presence.
-Your potential partner plays with his/her hair a lot around you, or smooths his/her clothes. This shows that this person wants to look good for you.
-He/she may lick or bite the lips without realizing it. Also, watch out for a lot of smiling when you're around.
-The person of interest gets close to you and touches your arm, leg, etc. briefly. He/she wants to be near you.
-Eye contact is important. An outgoing person may lock eyes with you all day, whereas a shy person will stare but turn away as soon as you look his/her way. Shy people also tend to blush around those they are attracted to.
-He/she mirrors your actions. If you cross your leg, he/she may do the same. It's another subtle way to show interest. After all, imitation is the best form of flattery.
-> Behavior
-He/she shows a geniune interest when you talk, and makes an effort to keep the conversation going if it gets close to sizzling out. He/she may even strike up random conversations just to talk to you, such as "Hey, do you know where a good restaurant is around here?" There may be hints in here that he/she wants you to go out on a date.
-This person seems to show up everyone you are. It's probably not such a coincidence if he/she appears at the same store you work at a lot or catches a movie just when you said you were going.
-His/her behavior suddenly changes when you show up, different than around any other person. He/she may stammer, or speak quietly or more loudly. This person may make more jokes and look at you to see if you're laughing. It's all about the change.
-He/she talks to your friends about you, or makes an effort to be on good terms with them. Your love interest might want your friends' approval or the inside scoop about your dating availability.
-Your crush might compliment you a lot, even over the strangest things, like "Hey, you have nice eyelashes."
-He/she teases you in a friendly way. This could be verbally or physically. He/she may make fun of your favorite band or try to tickle you. Sometimes he/she can be mean and secretly like you, but you have to be cautious because it could just be pure ridicule.
-He/she asks you to hang out. If it's with other people, your crush may try to talk to you alone or glance at you a lot as if longing to speak to you. He/she has already singled you out from the other fish in the sea.
Remember that everyone is different and shows interest in unique ways. These are just some general ways people show or give away attraction to another person.
