Telltale Signs of a Crush
Body language: When someone is around their crush, their whole body changes. They get fidgety, they blush, their eyes get wider, and they smile. As a result, they might look flustered, sweaty, happy, nervous, or excited. This happens because when you’re in love, the body is flooded with neurochemicals like dopamine and oxytocin and your nervous system is activated. It basically prompts your fight-or-flight response!
They also will probably mirror their crush’s body language, make physical contact, and get closer to their special someone. Look for those body language signs if you want to know if someone has a crush on you.
Different behavior: Beyond their body language, someone will do things differently if they have a crush on you. For one, they’ll take any excuse to spend time with you, since they love being with you so much. They’ll also pay attention to you and do nice things–they might notice you haven’t eaten breakfast yet and get you a muffin, or see that you’re upset and do something to make you laugh.
They’re also likely to make sure they look nice around you, so notice if they dress up nice, do their hair, wear perfume or cologne, or freshen their breath for otherwise normal hangouts. Lastly, they’ll probably laugh a lot when they’re around you. You make them so happy that even the smallest thing can make them giggle!
Things they say: If someone has a crush on you, they might let it slip in the way they talk. They can’t help but show how much they like you.
They’ll compliment you a lot, on everything from your overall appearance to specific things like your smile, your shoes, your hair, or your sense of humor. This is one of the biggest signs that someone likes you, especially if the compliments come frequently.
They also might tease and joke with you a lot. This is a way that a lot of people flirt. They might have inside jokes with you, a silly nickname, or gently tease you for little silly things you do. That’s a way for them to show that they know you well and consider you a close relationship.
Social signs: If they like you, chances are that other people might have found out before you. If you pay attention to social signals, you can discover if the rumor is true that they have a crush on you.
Observe how their friends act when you’re around. If they try to embarrass them, compliment them, or get the two of you talking together, it’s likely that they have a crush on you and their friends know. Your friends might also have a sense of your chances together. Pay attention to whether or not they encourage you to go after your crush—or if they seem nervous about you going through with your romantic instincts.
Personality: Unfortunately, it’s really hard to tell whether someone being nice to you or being nervous around you is a sign of actual interest, or if that’s just the kind of person they are.
It can help to compare how they act around you to how they act around other people. For example, if they have a nickname for you, that’s normally a good sign–unless they have nicknames for practically everyone in the grade, in which case it doesn’t mean much. Asking you lots of questions in conversation is good, but if they’re just a curious person that always asks questions, it doesn’t mean the same thing.
Notice whether they’re normally confident but act shy around you, or if they’re normally introverted but seem really excited and talkative when you’re around. Those are good signs that the way they act around you isn’t just a matter of personality, but about how much they like you.
Of course, even if someone loves being around you, their interest could be as a friend as opposed to as a crush. To know that it’s romantic and not platonic, the most reliable method is to talk about it, even though it’s scary. Luckily, this quiz will give you a good first test of whether your feelings are reciprocated — if so, talking about it with your crush could lead to a real romance!
