  1. If you’re always posting Snaps to your Story, take a peek to see if his name is on the list of people who looked at it. If his name is one of the first to pop up after you post your Story, it’s a sign he wants to know you better. He may even send you a message referencing what you posted since it’s a really easy way for him to start a conversation. [1]
    • Try to post cute selfies or fun pictures of what you’re doing so he’s more likely to reply to them.

  1. Snapchat has a cool feature that lets people watch your Snaps one more time; plus, you’re notified if they do it! Scroll through your Snap History with your guy. Your Snaps will say “replayed” next to them if your crush watched them again.
    • If you want to be a real flirt, shorten the time limit on your Snaps so he only sees them for a few seconds. That forces him to replay your Snaps so he can get a better view.

  1. When a boy is crushing on you, he’ll do what he can to reach out before you do and act a little flirty. If you’re always getting notifications from a guy but you haven’t even Snapped him yet, he’s trying to get your attention and chat with you.
    • It’s okay for you to send the first Snap every now and then if you want to show that you’re into him, too!

If he sends you a Snap directly, then you know that it was meant for your eyes only. He’ll probably keep Snaps between the two of you private if he wants to make you feel special and let you know he’s crushing on you, too. [3]

  1. While he’ll send normal pictures most of the time, pay attention if your crush adds drawings, stickers, filters, and text. When you open a Snap from your crush, take note of everything that he’s added to make the picture unique. He’ll make goofy drawings or write a really thoughtful message on the Snap to put you in a good mood if he’s really interested.

  1. If you open a Snap and you barely get a glimpse of the picture before it disappears, the guy might have done it on purpose.

    • Lean into it if you like him back! Replay his stories to say, “Yeah, I like what I see.”

  1. When you send a Snap or a message on Snapchat, keep the app open and see if he responds right away. If he’s really excited when he sees the notification from you, he’ll likely check it almost immediately and write something back. [5]
    • If the guy’s busy when you send him a Snap, he might not be able to answer it right away, so don’t fret! This isn’t a foolproof sign, but it’s definitely something to keep an eye out for.

  1. He may give you compliments in your chat conversation or say them directly in a Snap’s caption. When he says something that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, he’s trying to make you feel good, and it’s a sign that he likes you more than a friend.
    • Try giving him a few compliments back so he knows you’re into him too! He might say something like, “You look so good right now!” or “That was amazing! You’re always so impressive!” So, you could respond with, “I bet I don’t look as good as you,” or “Please! I couldn't have reached my goal without your support!”

  1. Some guys try to tell jokes or indirectly flirt with a sarcastic comment. When he says something funny in response to one of your Snaps, he’s showing off his sense of humor and trying to push your buttons to see if you’re playful in response. [6]

    • If you like him back, play into his playfulness! Don’t be afraid to toss around a flirt or silly comment of your own.
