Tell That Your Crush Likes You Back

Are you hopelessly infatuated with someone who's a little tough to read? To tell whether or not your crush likes you back, look for positive body language, ask yourself if they're open in conversation with you, pay attention to the way they talk to you, and consider how often they hang around you. The only certain way to know how your crush feels would be to ask, but if you need at least a glimmer of hope beforehand, these simple observations often help.

Steps

  1. Look at their body language when they're around you. Do they seem to get more tense when they realize you're in the same room? Do they cross their legs towards you and keep their shoulders pointed at you at the same time? Do they try to appear good-looking? Do they every so often take a look in your direction to see if you're looking at them? If so, it could be a good sign that they're into you. Small things like this often can mean more than what it seems.
    • Another good sign is if you notice them hanging around you even though you're not having a conversation with them.
    • Looking straight into your eyes (although they may be a little nervous doing so) means they're paying attention to you. If you feel like they are looking deep into your eyes, that could also be a sign.
    • Most of the time, if a crush likes you, they'll jump at the opportunity to help you. Even with small things, they'll always be there to help out with your problems (especially if you ask).
    • Do they sometimes show off and tell jokes around you to make you laugh? Do they look straight at you when they deliver the punchline? How do you feel around them?
  2. Notice what information they give you. Do they ever tell you about something special they're doing, such as reading a book or playing a sport, out of the blue? Does He/She tell you secrets and random stories about their day? They might be trying to impress you.
    • Do they give you semi-personal information when you didn't ask for it? Giving people personal information is a sign that they trust you or want you to give them personal information back.
    • Do they talk about their family, their ex, or about the past? These topics are all things people are usually pretty guarded about. If your crush is letting you in on them, it may be a sign.
  3. Pay attention to physical contact. Whether or not it's conscious, someone who likes you (more often girls) will generally find excuses to touch you.
    • They might put their hand on your shoulder, or accidentally walk into you in the halls, or wipe something random off your face.
    • Do they tickle you or tease with their hands? Do they ask you for piggybacks, or throw random things at you in an effort to get your attention?
    • Even gestures that don't seem playful or nice might mean they're attracted to you. Lots of people understand that their body language is giving them away, and try to make the body language mean or impersonal. Do they hit you lightly or play pranks on you? It might mean that they want attention from you, and they're trying to get it without telegraphing their true feelings.
  4. Find out how often they look at you. Do you ever see them looking at you when they think you cannot see them? If you catch him/her looking at you and you look back, do they look away? If they do, that could be a sign of nervousness.
    • On the other hand, do they always avoid looking at you, no matter what? Not looking at someone might mean they're trying to keep their crush secret and don't want you to know.
    • Get a trusted friend to look at them during class or at recess; have the friend see whether your crush looks at you, and for how long. If they're constantly staring in your direction for minutes at a time, they're really crushing hard.
  5. Figure out their shyness around you. Are they more shy or attentive around, or when talking to you, than with other people?
    • If they're normally a super-confident person, and the sight of you turns them into blabbering mush, it's a pretty good sign they like you (especially if they're nervously playing with their hands).
    • Be careful, however, because shy people are usually shy all the time. You could misread whether your crush actually likes you. So it's best to use this information along with the other steps when you're making the call about whether or not they like you.
  6. Notice how often they're around you. Does it seem that they make it a point to happen to be near you or walk back and forth in front of you? Then it means that they are trying to get your attention, but in a very discreet way.
    • Does their voice get louder when they're talking to other people around you? It could be a sign that they want you to listen or pay attention to them.
    • Do they make little excuses to be around you? Do they ask you for the homework problems, or sit next to you in class, or pick you to be on their team for recess sports? It could mean something!
  7. Find out how much they respect you. If they act like a gentleman or gentlewoman to you, it's often a sign that they like you.
    • Does he or she open the door for you or give you parts of their lunch that they usually never give to other people?
    • Does he or she stick up for you when you get in a fight or when someone badmouths something you're doing? Do they say to their friends," Stop saying bad things about him/her!"?
    • Does he or she suddenly get along with a lot of your friends that they used to not care about?
    • Do they constantly look at you during class periods you have with them?
  8. During class, eye contact during a conversation is very important, if he or she does this, they are paying full attention to you and only you in a crowd full of other kids or even friends.

Tips

  • If you really want to find out if he likes you then ask a close friend of yours to ask him/her who they like.
  • If he/she flirts with you (they could do this many different ways), then he/she is most likely interested.
  • If you think, putting all bias aside, that they like you, then there's probably a good reason.
  • Be patient and relax. Don't freak out about things if they don't go your way. Don't panic if you are going to ask them something.
  • Don't try to find out all of these things in one day. Just relax and find out on other days as well.
  • Don't be too shy around them. If they try talking to you, talk back. If they talk to you and smile while talking, it might be a sign.
  • Take your time if you need to. Things may not go by very fast. Get to know him/her. Start hanging out with them. Flirt with them but not too much.
  • If you see him/her trying to tell something to you that may mean he/her wants to talk to you to get your attention.
  • Try to join clubs/activities that they are in just one or two so that he/she will begin to see you around more often and you will get more familiar with him/her.
  • If you really like them and want them to get the "hint", make it a point to be around them. This will open them up more and they may feel a bit closer, and you'll notice THEM giving you "hints".
  • Invite them to things that you and your friends are doing but make sure you make the plan.
  • Try to get your crush attention first. Then hang out with him/her. After that just ask your crush how you like yo spend time with them. Then, just ask him/her if they like you. But if no you might not get the crush to like you do. Don' t let that happen to you!
  • Some people tend to hide their emotions and rarely let you in on their feelings. Someone can have a crush on you, and not drop any clues at all. Don't give up hope!
  • If you don't want to let your crush know that you like him, don't try to get to much attention. Giving him to much attention might just reveal your secret. Spend time with him/her.
  • Smile and laugh if you catch them staring at you...don't make them feel uncomfortable.
  • Don't go "tiger" real fast that could creep him/her out just be normal.
  • If your crush often looks at you it's a good sign that he\she might like you back.
  • Spend time with your crush so you can see whether or not they are a good person.
  • Some people won't say anything, but blush when they hear your name, when they hear the sound of your voice or when they spot you in the distance. You may not notice, but maybe a friend of yours catches your crush doing that and reports it to you. It's a pretty reliable clue!
  • Ask them to hang out, and see what he or she says.
  • If your crush takes your side in arguments, that is a sign that they like you.
  • If he is more confident around you, it may be a sign that he is interested in you.
  • Look at the way he/she talks to you. And if he only will come out with his friend, that is a sign.
  • Telling jokes and kidding around with you might be a sign he likes you.
  • If you are still not sure you could ask a close friend if your crush likes you. But don't overdo it. Your crush might think you are trying too hard.
  • Flirt with them but not too much. Start a conversation with them that will grab their attention. Tell them about yourself. Don't be shy, just relax.
  • Look your best around them. Attraction is the start of a relationship.
  • Some of them may stare straight into your eyes and even make direct contact.
  • A good tip I've learned is to not be afraid to make the first move because then he might like you back.

Warnings

  • Don't overdo the following/stalking. This can get awkward and make them not like you anymore and you can totally misunderstand them further down the road.
  • If this is the something-thousandth article, test, or other knowledge based thing, then you should really stop worrying about it. If you think he does, then he does. If not, then move on. You are smart, so you should be able to know. Trust yourself. Nobody else knows what to think about the situation better than you and your crush.
  • If you find out that He/She isn't interested in you, DON'T feel down. Life goes on and sometimes you just have to accept things.
  • Don't join any clubs/activities with him/her if you aren't interested at all. For example, don't join the sports club if you know nothing about sports. It will reflect badly and look creepy/stalkerish
