Get Your Best Friend to Admit That He Might Be Falling for You

So, you've been friends for a while, but lately you've been noticing signs that he might want more out of the relationship. Still, he'll probably never admit it. Here are some ways to get the info out of him.

Steps

  1. Briefly glance at him every so often. If he's already looking at you, he has taken interest in you. This method works better in room full of people.
  2. See how he acts around other girls. If he is just as flirtatious and friendly, he may be playing the field a bit. If he is clearly reserving something special for you, it's a direct hit.
  3. Intentionally do something that would be potentially upsetting to you. For example, pretend to fall over and act a little upset about it. If he is at your shoulder for the rest of the day, this proves he may be interested in you.
  4. Tease him. If he teases back, tease him more. Playful bantering often occurs between lovers, as this is a way to cause laughter and happiness.
  5. Smile at him. If he immediately smiles back, this is another sign that he might like you.
  6. Talk about who you like (assuming that you like this guy/girl too). If he asks questions about your reactions to certain actions (ex: "How would you react if I did [insert action] to you?"), there's a possibility that he wants to know how you'll react to him doing something a little more personal with you.
  7. Ask him who he likes. Usually best friends tell their friends who their crushes are. If he doesn't tell you or acts embarrassed, he may not want to admit his feelings to you. Keep acting innocent, and try to persuade him to tell you. For example, say something along the lines of, "Please? We're best friends. You know I won't tell anyone." However, avoid pushing him too hard, or he may grow uncomfortable.
  8. If you do like him, try reversing the strategies listed to show you like him.
  9. Tell him that you might be interested in him. Talk to him in private to see if he confesses his feelings for you.

Not Dropping False Hints

  1. Look to see if he's looking at you every few minutes. If he's always looking at you, he might like you.
  2. If you both are in a group, walk a little ahead of them. If he follows you or walks faster to be next to you, he might like you.
  3. Get someone to ask him who he likes. Preferably, one of the people in your group.
  4. Ask other people that hang out with you two if they've noticed any signs of him liking you.

Tips

  • Drop hints that you may like him too! Just subtle hints, and don't make a big deal out of them.
  • These are just a few things you can do. Don't worry if none of them works, it doesn't mean it's not right. In terms of the requester, you should know what he's like when he likes you. Look for old signs again!
  • If all of this isn't working, try speaking to him about it! Guys are human, and they'll tell the outright truth. If they don't, they're not worth it love.
  • He might be doing all the above things, but still there is a chance of him not liking you.
  • Take a chance and be the brave one!

Warnings

  • Don't get your hopes up too high, just in case he really isn't falling for you.
  • Don't do any of these steps if you don't like him back. You'll just be getting his hopes up that you like him back.
  • Don't discuss too much with mutual friends, as this may embarrass him and can put others in a difficult position.
  • Many of these methods can mean simple crushes, so you never know when he will totally turn away.
