There are a lot of post out there that tells you how to figure out if someone has a crush on you. There’s the go-to advice of noticing if they blush, or if they are always trying to talk to you. These things can be obvious from the beginning, but sometimes we deal with people who are, well, not obvious and they don’t to tell you. So, here are 10 ways on how to know if someone likes you.
1. They sign up for things that you’re interested in.
You’ve joined an extracurricular activity, or maybe a specific volunteer team, or a craft circle. Suddenly this person appears in multiple events or clubs and doesn’t seem to know what they’re doing there. There’s a 20% chance that they’re there to learn something new, which is cool, and there’s an 80% chance that they’re there to try to learn something new about you, which is even cooler because why would they join all 3 of these activities with you?

2. They call or video chat with you and not just text messaging.
Nowadays most younger individuals don’t just chat on the phone for hours. We just live in a messaging world and we just message people to get our point across. If you have someone in your life who keeps trying to communicate with you via video chats or phone calls, they are truly one of a kind. This person is hard-core dedicated to seeing your face or hearing your voice. This is a strong connection, though. There is definitely some sort of feeling here and a strong sign to know that someone likes you.
3. They mimic your movements.
This is a cool way to peer into someone’s emotions without actually speaking to them. So, try this out. When this person is in front of you, start to slowly tilt your head to one side, or position your arms in a certain way. If they like you, slowly but surely, this person will start to unconsciously mimic your movements. So, keep an eye for that.

4. They remember the strangest things about you.
Anyone who knows you will be able to list your favorite foods or hobbies, but only someone who likes you will remember those strange random things you say. The average person speaks 7,000 words a day, and this person will remember even that one weird sentence you made at 1:43 PM. We all pay closer attention to things that we like, and that’s exactly what they’re doing with you.
5. They look at you after they make a joke around others.
Telling a good joke is good, but telling a good joke in front of your crush is priceless. That’s why this person will immediately eye you down if they spit a fire joke in front of everyone. They could care less about other people’s reactions; They’re just hoping to make you smile. Studies have shown that if you can make someone laugh, they’ll like you even more.
6. Your friends always try to leave you two alone.
Friends know you best and, sometimes, a friend knows what’s best for you. If your friends are always trying to leave you two alone, they obviously know that something’s up. Not only that, but they see a potential connection in the air. Remember sometimes an outsider’s view is clearer than someone’s on the inside. So, if you see that friend always leaving you two together, then something is up.

7. They ask if you have a partner.
There is nothing more direct than asking someone about their relationship status. There are only a few reasons why someone might ask you that. One main reason why is that they like you. Another reason could be that they’re just nosy. They might want to know straight up if they have a chance with you, or if they should cut their feelings at the roots before they get any more tangled up on you. This is a good sign to know if someone likes you.
8. They take a lot of pictures of you.
This is one of the cutest signs and one that is open for the world to see. Someone who likes you will want to document their time together, simply because it makes them happy when they look back on it. They’ll be taking lots of pictures with you and of you, even short videos. While they may say it’s for the Gram or for their story, you can bet that they’ll be saving all of them for their personal albums.
9. They let their weirdness out around you.
Everyone’s a little weird, somewhere, somehow. It’s what makes us unique! Even so, we all know how to control ourselves to not be total weirdos around any new people we meet. If this person is opening up to you enough to show their weird-side, that’s already a pretty high level of trust!
10. They tell other people that they like you (but they don’t tell you).
Talking to someone you like can be intimidating. This person might even be extroverted and open, but they just can’t muster up the courage just yet to tell you how they feel. In this case, don’t be surprised if word gets out to other people. It’s only a matter of time before this person tells you themselves! They might be just waiting to see how you respond to what other people are saying.
