When someone likes you, they tend to give off subtle patterns in their behavior that denote this. Some may indeed be rather noticeable, but they are small and thus might escape your notice. The idea is to catch these signals that show romantic interest. These include:
1. Frequent Eye Contact
If someone continuously makes eye contact with you, that can be a sure sign of attraction. They might gaze a little longer than usual at you, or they look away once you catch them staring. Their eyes light up anytime you’re around; that could be a hint for you.
2. They Find Reasons to Be Around You
A person interested in you tends to look for ways to be able to spend time with you, whether it means joining you for lunch, sitting next to you through class, or starting conversations for no apparent reason—whatever it is, their presence is intentional.
3. Compliments and Playful Teasing
A compliment is a direct way someone can show admiration. Simultaneously, teasing, when playful, may be another definitive indicator of interest. Lightly teasing you, or having to compliment you more than they would others, may be their way of attempting to get across the interest they may hold in you.
4. Mirroring Your Actions
People often act out the behaviors of someone they like subconsciously. If they begin to cross their arms around you when you are crossing your arms, matching your tone, this may be one of those subconscious, subtle indicators of attraction.
5. Nervousness Around You
Nervousness or feeling flustered when you are around them is one of the signs. If they seem a bit anxious or fluttery when you’re around, it might be simply because they want to impress you but lack the confidence.
6. Remembering Little Things
When he likes you, he will remember what little you tell him: your favorite food, a story that you have told him, or what is going to happen. How much detail one goes into is proof that they are actually interested in something more from you.
7. Touching or Closeness
Physical closeness is one of the strong signals of attraction. They may ‘accidentally’ brush against you, or they may stand closer than usual. Light touches on the arm or shoulder may signal interest.
8. Holding Deep Conversations
This means, if they move from small talks to meaningful conversations with you, they appreciate your relationship; this shows that they want to build emotional bondage and get to know you at a personal level.
9. Getting Jealous
A jealous reaction when you are mingling with others, particularly when those ‘others’ are the ones that they consider a threat to their relationship with you. They would always try and turn the conversation towards them or subtly bring you to talk about your feelings towards them.
10. They Seek Your Approval
They might value your opinion or even seek your approval on decisions, like asking you what they should wear or what to do in a situation. Most of the time, they will want to know what you think because they like you.
By noticing these signs, you can get a sense of someone’s feelings toward you. Remember, everyone expresses attraction differently, so context matters!
