There’s a lot of great feelings in this world, but none can compare with the sensation that occurs when a person realizes that their crush likes them back. Butterflies in the stomach is among the most accurate descriptions that try to capture this one-of-a-kind feeling. The nerves and doubts that have been building up for weeks or months as your crush grows are suddenly turned into pure ecstasy as the feelings are reciprocated - or at least that’s what we hope will occur. While it may seem hard to tell if someone likes you, there are a few signs that tend to be giveaways of attraction. Here are a few of the biggest indicators to look for.
They Are Around
While it is true that opposites attract, it’s even more true that an attracted party - no matter if they are opposite or nearly identical - is going to want to be around the person that they are crushing on. Are they always sitting by you when they can? Is there a funny meme being sent whenever you look at your phone? You’ve captured someone’s attention and it seems they want to have some of yours in return.
How They Act
It can feel really hard to tell if someone likes you the moment you start thinking about it too much, but if you take a step back and view the situation with a clear head it can become easier to tell. Are they laughing at everything you say? Do you they remember little details from your conversation? Do they make a lot of eye contact? Maybe they seem nervous or blush around you. None of these are guaranteed traits of a crush, but all can be a big hint towards the correct answer. If multiple of these are true there is even more to consider.
The Little Things
It can be some of the smaller details that end up being the giveaway of a big crush. If someone is always taking the time to make you feel special - perhaps going so far as to bring you little goodies or baked goods - that person clearly cares about you on a more intimate level. It doesn’t necessarily mean on a romantic sense, but it could be something worth exploring.
These are just a few of the many smaller signs that can help you determine whether someone may be crushing on you. They most important thing to remember though? Just keep being yourself! Part of the fun is finding out and if they do like you it will reveal itself at the exact right moment. Now get back to living your best life, you lovebird!
