Hint In on Someone That You Like Them
You like someone and you think they may like you, but you don't know for sure. You can always hint in that you like them, without really saying that you like them. Follow this guide and in no time, you'll have your crush reading your mind.

Steps
- Talk with them. Make sure you at least have some form of relationship, if it's friends to best friends. Friends is an excellent way to get to know someone without it being awkward.
- Touch them, but not in an inappropriate way. Bump them gently in the hall, maybe "accidentally" slide your hand over theirs, etc.
- Laugh at almost all their jokes. Even if they are corny, people like it when someone enjoys their jokes. However, be careful about laughing too much! It will make you appear false and it will get annoying. A small chuckle or giggle will do.
- Help them. If they ever need help with homework, schoolwork, or other problems, offer to help. Don't just sit around. Helping someone out forms a mental bond that is often mistaken as love. This is obviously a bit manipulative for you to know this while the other person doesn't, but it does work very well. Still, if you'd prefer not using manipulation to meet your goals, you could always drop this fact with the "Hey, did you know..." method. Not only would it hint towards your interest in an innocent, non-creepy way, but it would also form an opinion of you as a knowledgeable person.
- Get involved. Ask them if they play any sports. If so, what sports? Do they have any hobbies? What music do they like?
- Start seeing them outside of school. Ask them when and where their next game is. Try planning a group party, with some of your friends and some of their friends. Anything that will get you talking outside the school, go for it.
- Ask for their number or email address. When you do this, wait a little bit before emailing or calling them. When you do call or email, make it quick and not too awkward.
- Don't ever tune them out. Pay attention to what this person says. People love when someone listens.
- Compliment them. If they get a haircut, say it's wonderful. If they got a new shirt, say it looks nice. Everyone loves compliments.
- Have them over to your house for a study date. But don't overdo it. Don't dress in fancy clothing or play romantic music. For better results, ask if they want to stay for dinner.
- Pull them aside and say "I heard a rumor spreading that you like me. Is that true? Tell me the truth, I won't be upset,". This is sometimes good, sometimes bad.
- Consider just passing a note to them saying that you like them.
- If you don't know them well and you are shy, have a friend tell them you like them. That way, it'll feel less awkward to you, and they'll know how you feel.
- Hang around them, with your friends, or alone. You'll find out more about them, and vice versa.
- Have a friend eavesdrop a bit on them when you leave the room, to see if the say anything about you when you're out of range.
Tips
- Be yourself. Why would you want to go out with someone who doesn't like you for you?
- Get to know them first before dating, you want to know who they really are.
- Always dress your best and look your best. Looks don't mean everything, but they sure do complement your personality.
- If you ask the person out and they say no, stay cool and ask if you are still friends.
- Only tell good friends who can keep a secret about crushes. Other friends may slip and tell.
- Be friends with the person first. Be careful not to be completely friend-zoned.
- If they find out, you can always tell them that you like them. For all you know, they may like you too.
- Don't date anyone who was a previous friend's boyfriend or girlfriend.
- Get to know them and talk. Do not be rude or offensive; it makes you seem unappealing. Compliment them daily and you can act a little flirty, but do not make them uncomfortable.
- Don't stutter too much and do not stare. Usually people do not like it when you cannot get you're words out and when you continually stare at them.
Warnings
- Do not stalk them! No one likes stalkers. Don't send off that vibe.
- Be prepared for denial. If they say no, don't cry in front of them. This may lead to them asking you out on a pity date. That is even worse. Instead, say that it's fine and ask if you can still be friends.
- Do not obsess! They may find this creepy.
- If you ask out a friend's previous boyfriend or girlfriend and they are not okay with it, it may ruin your friendship.
- If you do ask them out, this may ruin a good friendship.
