How to Tell If You Have a Crush on Someone

Catching feelings for someone can be one of the most confusing experiences ever, especially if you aren’t totally sure what the nature of your feelings even is. Here are a few key signs to watch out for that your feelings might be wandering into crush territory:

  • You tend to mirror their body language. They scratch their head; so do you. They turn in your direction; you turn towards them. These low-key movements are all classic signs that you’re attracted to the person in question.
  • You get really close to them. Sure, people stand pretty close to one another during conversations—but you like to stand as close to them as possible. If you find yourself wandering within 0 to 18 in (0 to 46 cm) of the person in question, there’s a good chance that your feelings aren’t quite platonic.
  • You always make time to message them. Yes, messaging someone frequently doesn’t automatically move your feelings into crush territory. However, it could be an important signal that the person in question is occupying a lot of your current thoughts and feelings.
  • You tend to ask them a lot of questions. Whenever this person talks, you’re always genuinely interested in what they have to say. In fact, you often find yourself asking them a lot of follow-up questions so you can get to know them better.
  • Your stomach faces them whenever you talk. Believe it or not, the way your torso points during a conversation can say a lot about the way you feel about an interaction. Pointing your belly towards someone, for instance, shows that you’re interested, while turning your belly away shows the opposite.
  • You feel a need to preen around them. Nope, preening isn’t just for birds—plenty of people adopt this beautification habit when they’re hoping to catch someone’s attention and impress them. Preening can be as obvious as fixing your makeup in the mirror or as subtle as picking a fuzzball off your shirt sleeve.
  • You remember the little details they mention. Chances are, you aren’t remembering every little detail of your classmates’, coworkers’, and acquaintances’ lives. When it comes to the person in question, though, you remember tons of details from your previous conversations with them.
  • You tend to make eye contact. Yes, eye contact is considered polite in most conversations—but when you’re talking to the person in question, you have no problem keeping your gaze glued to them throughout the interaction.
  • You feel a little awkward when you’re near them. Acting or feeling awkward around someone isn’t irrefutable evidence that you’re crushing on someone, but it’s a pretty common sign that you’re down bad for the person in question. (Bonus points if you’re worried about saying the wrong thing or somehow embarrassing yourself around them.)
