You’ve already seen a million lists with the typical signs someone likes you. They flirt, they get nervous, they move closer to you in groups, yadda, yadda. This time, I’m about to dive into 10 clear signs that someone likes you, but don’t worry; this isn’t your typical snooze-fest list. There will be a few on here that may surprise you. Let’s check them out!
1. They work through conflict instead of fighting or running away.
We all know that arguments can be as common as selfies on social media these days. But, if you’ve got someone willing to work through the drama instead of throwing down or disappearing into thin air, you’ve hit the jackpot, my friend. This is not only a sign of maturity, but it’s a sign of someone who is ready for a relationship and able to take a healthy one on. You’d be surprised how many people get into a relationship without having the emotional capacity to do so.
2. They want to grow alongside you.
Picture this: you’re blasting tunes on a road trip, windows down, the wind blowing through your hair, and you’ve got your partner right there beside you, jamming along. It’s not just about finding someone who’s content with who you are now, it’s about finding that special someone excited to ride shotgun on the crazy rollercoaster of life with you. Partners should work to make each other the best version of themselves, and that includes playing your part and working hard to grow into a version of yourself that you both love. This means taking constructive criticism and working with it to progress. You may change the way you respond to confrontation, build communication skills, or even get better at identifying what you really want. It isn’t about change – it’s about growth.
3. They flirt subtly and adjust their behavior according to your response.
Ah, flirting; the subtle art of getting your crush’s attention without looking like a complete goofball. If you’ve got someone who’s skilled in the ways of the flirty game and can adapt their moves based on how you react, that’s some commitment. Aggressive flirting will just signal someone who’s into you superficially, but someone who works with your responses and caters to them will truly find the way into your heart. I used to know a girl who was super shy around guys. I don’t even think she kissed more than a guy or two and she was in her mid-twenties! Then she met Carlos. He spoke with her, learned about her, and was steadfast by her side until he found the right way to flirt and connect with her. No joke, they are now married!
4. They highlight your personality or unique traits.
Let’s face it, we all want to be recognized for the fabulous individuals we are. A partner who is constantly pointing out those quirks that make you, you, is a keeper, and that’s what someone who really likes you will try to do. They may compliment your appearance, but they’ll also highlight your internal beauty. You may find some things they’ll highlight in our other video, “15 Surprising Things Men Like in Women More than Beauty.” When my boyfriend and I started talking, I remember him saying how much he loved my positivity and how extroverted I was. These weren’t the typical things guys commented on, so it really stuck – and it helped us get closer and to start exclusively dating!
5. They ask deep questions about your life experiences – not just your general interests.
It’s not just about talking about the latest meme or binge-worthy TV show; it’s about diving into the depths of your soul. If your partner is genuinely interested in learning about your life journey, your triumphs, your struggles, and everything in between, then they’re not just scratching the surface, they’re digging for buried treasure. They know your worth and they value it.
6. They go out of their way to spend time with you.
Time is a precious commodity. After all, they say it’s worth more than gold. When someone is willing to rearrange their schedule, pull out all the stops, and go the extra mile just to hang out with you, it quickly becomes obvious that they like you. Since you’ve made it this far, I would go as far as to say you like this channel, so please consider subscribing and liking to show your support! You know I appreciate you.
7. They are consistent in their behavior.
Most of us have played the not-so-fun dating game where someone is hot one day and cold the next. Talk about being as unreliable as the McDonald’s ice cream machine. Finding someone who is a pillar of consistency instead of a mudslide waiting to happen is a relief. If this person likes you, they’ll be reliable and predictable. If you expect their call, they will call. If you make plans, you can count on them. If they are busy or can’t talk for whatever reason, they’ll let you know. Cue the sighs of relief! Phew.

8. They tell you what they’re looking for from the get-go.
Ain’t nobody got time for mind games and mixed signals. In the same way that someone will be reliable when they like you, they should also be upfront. Now, if they’re shy or timid they may not have the guts to tell you how they feel just yet, but this doesn’t mean they won’t make it clear that they’re single and obviously focused on you. You can take the hint from there.
9. They quickly create inside jokes and special memories with you.
Inside jokes are the secret language of best friends and couples. Laughing together starts by creating great memories, pleasant brain chemicals, and intimate inside jokes that only you two can understand. Laughter is truly the glue that holds relationships together, and this could easily blossom a friendship into a romance. I used to have a friend who wasn’t the hottest guy on the block, but he was hilarious and always seemed to get the girls he liked. His saying was that he could laugh a girl all the way to a date in a breeze!
10. They try to see you in different situations.
Dating someone means seeing them in more scenarios than just fancy dinner dates. This person likes you, so they’ll want to see you in all different lights. This means all dressed up, as casual as can be, for a fancy event, to sweat during sports, to lounge, to debate, and everything in between. They’re open to seeing you in all these different contexts because it will help them get to know you better and, hopefully, to get closer to you in the meantime.

Conclusion:
A person who clearly likes you will go above and beyond basic flirting and body language. Finding someone who checks off at least five of these boxes isn’t just reaffirming, it’s actually pretty lucky, so you may want to consider them in a romantic light. Keep your eyes peeled, hearts open, and enjoy the experience.
