Unless someone says what they have in mind, you might not be able to tell because you’re not a mind reader. However, human beings exhibit certain signs when they are experiencing certain emotions, including having a crush on someone. All you need to do is pay close attention to those signs to pick them up.
Here are signs that someone has a crush on you.
1. They will be constantly checking you out
So, you’re in a room, and you notice someone looking at you. You think it’s just random. But then you notice the same person keeps looking at you. At this point, you should know it’s not a coincidence. It can be creepy, especially if you don’t know this person. Why are they looking at you?
Here’s the thing: they may be looking at you because they fancy you. They’re smitten with you and just want to keep admiring you. This is especially true if your crush hasn’t started speaking to you yet. They want to talk to you, but the perfect opportunity hasn’t presented itself yet. The most they can do right now is admire you from a distance.
The next time you catch that person staring at you, if you’re interested in them and want to take it further, don’t look away. Instead, look right back at them. You can even take it further by smiling at them.
When you smile at them, they will relax and feel comfortable. Many people can’t just walk up to others because they’re afraid of embarrassment. So when you smile at them, you’re indirectly telling them you’re also interested in them and welcome their advances. Don’t be surprised if your crush stands up and begins to walk toward you.
2. They will always want to be near you
When you’re crushing on someone, that person becomes the center of your attention. It feels like there’s a magnetic force pulling you toward them, and you will subconsciously want to draw nearer to them.
If you are in a room with your crush, you will notice that even when they are not so close to you at the beginning, they will find a reason to draw nearer to you.
It’s about the energy you radiate. There’s something about you that they find fascinating. They would rather be close to you than anywhere else.
The more time they spend close to you, the more they develop the illusion that they actually know you. They have all these ideas of you two being together as an item and just having fun.
Your crush might not even talk to you yet. They just want to be close to you, and for them, that is enough. They are biding their time, waiting for the perfect opportunity to actually speak to you.
If you move away from them, they will find a reason to move closer to you. It’s as if wherever you go, they follow you.
Don’t be surprised when you show up at places and it feels like your crush is following you everywhere. They are fascinated with you. Seeing you and sharing space with you is something they cherish.
3. They act differently with you
You know this person to be bubbly. You know them as the life of the party. They are playful, jovial, and full of life.
But suddenly, when they are with you, it feels like they are a totally different person. They get quiet and confused, almost as if they don’t even speak.
Initially, you might become worried, wondering why this person is acting this way when they are with you. You know that this is not the way they are with other people.
It’s not your fault. It has nothing to do with you. When you initially like someone, you might not be able to handle all the emotions you’re experiencing. These emotions might even feel strange to them.
When they are with you, the best thing for them is to stay quiet. They recoil into their shell and feel uneasy.
The thing is, you have a powerful effect on them, one that stops them from being who they are. It might sound like a bad thing, but it’s not.
They’re experiencing all these emotions about you, and they don’t know how to deal with them. They might even get nervous and confused around you.
A nervous person wouldn’t have much to say because even when they open their mouth to talk, they wouldn’t make any sense. If that person suddenly becomes different whenever they’re around you, it’s most likely that they are seriously crushing on you.
Your crush might not even be able to look you in the eye when they finally get the chance to talk to you. They feel so strongly about you, and your eyes are intimidating.
In those moments, they would rather look elsewhere than at you. Even when they want to say something to you, they might start to stutter. Not because they don’t know what to say, but because they are overwhelmed by all the emotions they feel toward you.
Don’t be hard on yourself. Don’t think there’s anything wrong with you because there isn’t. Your crush is just trying to process their emotions.
4. They think you are the coolest person in the world
Anything you do and say will be totally fine with them. Even if your jokes are dry, your crush will be laughing the loudest.
In that moment, they see you as someone larger than life. They find you so attractive that everything about you suddenly seems incredible.
It’s not about what you do but who is doing it. You’ll find that your crush will always be smiling when they are talking to you.
When you say something that is just a little funny, they will laugh as if you are the greatest comedian in the world. They will also be generous with compliments.
Everything you do will seem great in their eyes. They will compliment your looks, your attitude, and the way you carry yourself. Every single thing. You can do no wrong in their eyes.
Part of this sign is that they will pay very close attention to you. They will know when you step into the room and when you leave.
When they talk to you, they will make a point of remembering everything you said earlier.
If you really want to find out, tell your crush something and then ask them about it a few days later. You will be surprised to know that they will remember every single detail.
So your crush thinks that you’re the coolest person in the world. They might be right. You’re very cool. If someone thinks that you’re the coolest person in the world, that’s a great compliment.
5. They will always find a reason to talk to you
As far as your crush is concerned, you are the most important person in the room. If they’re not talking to you, what are they doing there? They will strategically position themselves in places where it’s easy to get your attention and have a word with you.
If you’re in a group and you’re saying something, you’ll find they’re asking you questions. They might be interested in what you’re saying, but that’s not exactly the point.
The point is that they want to hear you talk, not just talk, but talk to them. They might even want to show you things on their phone. They’ll bring out their phone and say, “Have you seen this? What do you think about this?” All of that is a ploy to engage you.
They’ll be interested in knowing more about you because, at that point, they’re totally fascinated with you. They’ll keep coming up with topics just to ensure the conversation keeps going.
If you don’t fancy your crush, it may seem like they are disturbing you. But if you do, this is a good opportunity to let them know by paying attention to what they are saying.
Give them your time. Allow them to express themselves. That could be a good opportunity for both of you to get to know each other better.
6. They want to look their best around you
It’s not every day that we look our best. Sometimes, we’re not in the mood. We just want to be free and look however we want. But when there’s a crush in the picture, and we’re meeting up with them, we definitely do better.
You’ll notice that your crush always looks good whenever they are with you, especially when you know that’s not how they look when they are with other people.
It’s a sign they’re trying to get your attention and impress you. Not only will they look their best whenever they’re around you, but they will also try to act their best. They’re trying to impress you. They want good remarks from you. It’s almost as though you are assessing them, and they want that assessment to be very good.
If you are impressed by them, like them, and like what you see and how they behave, chances are you will be interested in them.
Nobody wants their crush to see them at their worst or form a bad impression. When someone goes the extra mile to look and act their best only when they are around you, it should tell you that something is up. Especially when you find out from other people that this isn’t how that person is on a normal day, it’s a clear sign they are putting in all that effort because of you.
There are many people in the world, or even in your area, that your crush could crush on, but they chose to crush on you. So it’s up to you to do something about it.
The question is, do you feel the same way about your crush? If yes, then what are you waiting for? Let them know you see the signs. Give them the green light. Smile at them. Give them your attention. Open up to them and have that conversation. If both of you are compatible, you could be on your way to a beautiful relationship.
Love is a beautiful thing. If you find that special one you truly love and want to be with, what is stopping you from going ahead with it?
