Having a crush on someone can be an awkward thing, especially if you aren’t sure whether the other person feels the same way about or not. This awkwardness, however, should not stop you from finding ways to tell your crush about your feeling or at least look for signs that they might be into you or not.
Looking for signs of a potential mutual feeling will help you not waste your valuable time on something that will not materialise. Following are five of many signs and gestures to look out for if you suspect that your crush might also be into you, as provided by Metropolitan Girls.
Your crush show interest in what you like
When a person is interested in you romantically, they will pay close attention to the things that you do and things that you say. If you’re vocal about something you like, they will take note of it. Say you’re invested in a K-pop boy band and your crush is clueless about it but goes out of their way to know the members and listen to their songs, then it means they’re interested in you. They would never do something they’re not interested in unless it’s for someone special.
Your crush helps you out when you’re in need
Often, people are selfish and never patient, especially when it comes to helping others. If you’re having a hard time with something that your crush is aware of, and they come to your rescue even when you don’t t ask, that may suggest that they like you. They’ll always want to show off their abilities and come off as a knight in shining armor to someone they’re attracted to.
Your crush gets jealous
When you’re hanging out and you blab about a cute guy that passed by, your crush would try to derail that guy by saying something like “he probably has bad breath.” Your crush would try to shift the focus to his good qualities instead and say something like “I work out more than him.” They wouldn’t want you to look elsewhere because what you need is right in front of your eyes.
Where they sit
Pay attention to where your crush sits whenever around you. It only counts if he gets to influence where he sits for example, when hanging out with a group of friends. If it’s a one-sided crush, your crush most probably sit randomly. But if your crush likes you back, you will find him trying to get closer. He’ll make someone move their seat or call dibs on the seat next to you.
Everything’s funny
When your crush always laughs at your jokes, unless you’re really funny, then it could mean they care about you. They wouldn’t want to make you feel bad with your bust joke, so they still laugh even if it’s not funny. It’s a silly but sweet form of companionship.
