20 ways on how to know if I am someone's crush

Nowadays is so hard to know for sure if someone really likes you or if he's just being friendly. Wouldn't it be great if you can read minds?! That'll make things so much easier.wink But since you don't have psychic powers and asking him directly seems a bit too aggressive (and it could be embarrassing too), you'll have to find another way to be sure if that someone has a crush on you.

There's some good news here, no one is able to hide their feelings forever, at some point they'll do something that's going to show their feelings and intentions. Picture this, you know this guy that has been your friend for years and you were clueless as to his real feelings, but one day you started noticing some things (very subtle ones) so you start to question his real feelings for you.

Guys, does this seem familiar to you too? Are you wondering if that girl next door or that coworker has a crush on you? Are you going to just sit there full of confusion because you can't tell with absolute certainty if that person has a crush on you?

These signs may be able to shed some light to your confusion.

1. Little things are notice by them

Things like a new hairdo or a new pair of pants are things that may not be noticed by a lot of people That won't be the case with them. They'll notice the new hairdo and will make a subtle comment (that could almost go unnoticed). They'll say something like "cool hairdo", or "nice pant, new?".
 

2. Smiling

When the joy of seeing someone is genuine, smiling is involuntary. So next time that friend or that coworker smiles at you pay attention. If the smile reaches their whole face and their eyes just light up, that could be a true sign of a big crush.

3. You catch them staring at you (at odd times)

Take notice next time you're among other friends hanging out. if you feel like someone's watching you, look up, you'll catch them with their eyes already on you. Busted! wink They like looking at you. especially when you're unaware. And unless you were doing something weird, all that looking is also a sure sign of a crush.

4. There's a lot fidgeting

if you notice a lot of nervous fidgeting, like hair touching or not being able to stay still, it could mean that they have a crush on you. They're not even aware that they're fidgeting, it's totally unconscious.

5. There's a lot of touchy-feely

Between friends, a pat on the back or putting your arm around your shoulders or giving hugs is totally normal.

Go back to when you met this person, we bet their behavior (towards you) was very different than what it is now.

Your average friend is going to ask you general questions about your family like "How they're doing?" or if they know someone is sick or injured, they'll be concerned and check up on that. But a crush will want to know more about your relationship with your family, they'll ask deeper questions. They have an interest in the people that's important to you.

10. They always find reasons to talk to you

Your crush craves those interactions with you. They are always finding reasons to contact you or to seek you up to chat. They'll text you or call you to ask something irrelevant or just to wish you a good day or good luck on your work presentation. Any excuse is good to talk to you.
