You know that crush you have on the little cutie at school or work? What if I told you they liked you back? Aw, I can see your smile from here! Today it’s time to find out if your crush feels the same way about you. To do so, you need to notice at least five of the following 10 signs your crush actually likes you back. Let’s get into it!
1. They’re always available.
A crush who likes you back will want to hang with you whenever possible. This means anytime you ask what they’re up to, they’re going to be available to hang out with you. Now, unless your crush has no interests, hobbies, friends, family, or things to get done, they shouldn’t always be free when you ask them. It’s just not humanly possible. This person is making the time because they want to see you just as badly as you want to see them.

2. They get excited with you.
Someone who is crushing on you will mirror your feelings. This means they will get bummed out when you’re sad, feel stressed when you’re nervous and get pumped when you’re excited. If you have good news and share it with them, they’ll jump for joy right along with you! This empathy is saved for when we want to connect with others. Good friends will also behave this way, though, so be sure you’re finding additional signs before thinking everyone in your corner has a crush on you.
3. They don’t get sick of you.
No matter how often you see or speak to this person, they still seem to want more. Even a good friend can get tired of constant conversation, so it’s really likely that this person is feeling you on a romantic level. This is especially true if you study or work with them and then afterward you still find yourselves texting late into the night.
4. They hit you with the “good morning/good night” texts.
The good morning/good night texts are NOT platonic. Do you text your best friend good morning and good night every single day? Maybe once in a while but not every day of every week! That is boyfriend-girlfriend territory and you know it.

5. They ask for your social media accounts.
No one wants to follow someone they don’t care about on social media. Unless you’re funny, relatable, a really hot actor, or one of my friends, I probably won’t care to look at your page, and most people can relate. That’s why if your crush asks for your IG, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook, or phone number, they’re trying to connect further with you and are showing some potential interest.
6. You hangout one-on-one.
You and your crush have now started hanging out solo. Maybe these are pretty friendly hangouts, like getting ice cream or walking around somewhere, but in any case, you are both alone. There are two situations where this would happen. One is if you’re really good friends and the second is if you both like each other. The trick to figuring out which one it is depends on how you interact while hanging out. Is there chemistry? Is there flirting? Do the plans feel too romantic? Then they just might like you back! This is also one of the strong signs that your crush actually likes you back.
7. They ask if you’re single.
If someone wasn’t interested in you at all, they would just assume you were single since you obviously don’t have much to offer… ouch. If they get curious about your status, though, it’s because they’re thinking about how you’d be as a boyfriend or girlfriend. In fact, they probably think you’d be pretty great at it, which is why the question comes up in the first place. This is a great time to tell them you’re single and looking for someone like them!

8. They always want to help you.
Friends will help you when you ask, but crushes will offer to help when you don’t even need it. Finding a way to help someone you like gives you an in. You’re seen as a caring and friendly person while you get the tradeoff of spending time with someone you like. If this person is offering to lend a hand even when you’ve got it covered, it looks like someone has a little crush.
9. They’re jittery around you.
Sometimes you just can’t help but notice that this person seems nervous. Most of the time you’re vibing, but now and again they get shaky, start blushing, or even stutter around you when they speak. These waves of nerves aren’t random – they are because of you! A good test for this would be to tell them that they make you nervous. This opens the door for them to say, “You too”, and confirm that their crush on you is the cause of their jitters.
10. You start to share secrets and inside jokes.
If you’re slowly building a long list of shared secrets and inside jokes with this person, there is definitely a connection there. Now, again, this could just be a beautiful friendship forming OR it could be two people with big fat crushes on each other. How will you tell which one is your situation? By finding more signs, of course.
