If they make a lot of eye contact with you or you catch them staring at you when you aren't looking, it's a pretty good sign they're interested in you. Also, if they go out of your way to talk to you or they text you randomly, they may have a crush on you. The biggest sign is if they randomly touch you by brushing against your elbow, putting their hand on your back, or going out of their way to hug you. This is a sure sign that they're interested.

Question

What do I do if he looks away immediately when I turn around to look at him? Like he looks really shy and he is. I never see him talk to girls at all, what should I do? In class, I'm the quietest one.

Community Answer

He's probably embarrassed that you caught him looking! If he's quiet too it might be hard to get to know him, but give it a shot!

Question

If my crush worries about me when I'm by myself, tells me that I'm the only person he can stand in the school, and always asks (only me) for help, could he like me?

Community Answer

He probably really likes you. If he thinks about you when you aren't around and tells you you're the only person he likes, that's a sign that he's interested. It may also be a sign that he's very clingy, so be careful!

Question

What if he is a year older than me? Will anything from this change at all

Community Answer

No, except he might be a little more mature around people he likes! Don't worry about a year's difference--it won't change anything.

Question

What does it mean when a guy winks and smirks at me

Community Answer

He might like you, or he might just be a jokey kind of guy. Think about how he acts around you vs other people. Does he wink and smirk at others? Or is it just you? If it's just you, he probably likes you.

Question

What if he said he likes me to all my friends one day but then the next he says he doesn't

Community Answer

He might be embarrassed. Maybe some of your friends or his friends made fun of him and now he's pretending he doesn't like you anymore. He might also just not be into you anymore, but if it happened literally the next day he's probably just embarrassed.

Question

I do not speak to him and he is in a separate class from me asnow I also fraid to ask him if he likes me because he always have friends around him a next thing he embarrasses me

Community Answer

If he embarrasses you, why do you like him? It's okay to accidentally embarrass someone, but if he teases you and makes you feel bad you should try to forget him and focus on someone else.

Question

I have a crush on a 13 y.o. im 11y.o. I love him and he loves me but we don't have the guts to talk to much we get imbarest

Community Answer

It's hard to get past embarrassment, but it's the only way to get to know him better! Try just talking with him about regular things, and then lead gradually to how you feel. You already know he loves you, so you don't have anything to lose!

Question

If he trys to ignores you what does that mean

Community Answer

It's hard to tell. Some boys are really nervous around someone they like, so they try to pretend nothing is happening.

Question

I saw the boy that I like playing with a girls bun (hair). She wouldn't let home touch it, so he immoderately comes up to me and asks if I can wear a bun . He's sort of a player, does he like me?

Community Answer

He might have been trying to make the other girl jealous by getting you to wear your hair like hers. But he might also have been trying to make YOU jealous by playing with the other girl's hair! It's hard to tell, but try watching to see how he talks to other people.
