Q&A for How to Figure Out if Someone Likes You

It sounds that way, considering the attention he's giving you. But the only way to know for sure is to ask him. Good luck with the foot wars!

There will always be some moment when he's not surrounded by them, you'll need to be observant and ready to go up to him. Perhaps between classes, on the way home from school or at sports practice.

Sometimes it's best to be straightforward; he knows you like him, so it's not like he'll be surprised. One day when you're "playing around" just kind of be like, "So hey... you know I like you right? Do you like me back?" Yes, this takes a lot of guts and bravery, but it's worth it if you really want to find out. You could also get his number or social media information if you feel more comfortable doing it over a phone than in person.

Playing hard to get may be a turn off, because this may be misconstrued to the other person that you are not interested. Try to be more confident, and know that if you were asked out, it was because someone likes you. You can be honest, and let that person know that you are very shy. Shy can be very attractive.

If you feel that you can't hold it anymore, try approaching your friend and have a little talk. Find a private place without interruptions and tell him how you feel about him. Be honest, but be ready to get hurt if he says that he doesn't feel the same way. Either way, you'll be glad you got it off your chest.

Guys can be simple creatures; chances are that he likes you. It does depend on how he stares though: is he smiling? Is he nice to you? or is there another reason? It could be, because he has noticed you staring at him. You should be able to tell from his expression though. The best way to find out is to start to become friendly with him like chatting with him in a friendly manner; his feelings are more likely to emerge this way.

He could just be a flirty guy, but if you think he likes you, go for it! When it comes to guys, they don't really get hints, so be straightforward and tell him you like him. If he rejects you, just shrug it off and crack a joke like, "Eh, you wouldn't be able to handle me anyway."

If a person likes you, there will usually be more signs than just looking at each other across a classroom, although it's not impossible that this is the only sign. Maybe she has a hard time looking straight and is actually looking at the board and not you. Have you exchanged numbers? Do you talk a lot outside of school? How does she act around you? If she keeps staring at you, there's a good chance she finds something about you intriguing. However, you should look for more signs of attraction before you assume she likes you.

It may mean that, but it could also just mean that he considers you a friend. Most guys will be more shy or more outgoing around the girl he likes, so watch for the signs, or just ask him. Be prepared for both outcomes.

He might not like you but he could already know that you like him, so he feels awkward around you. The best way to know is to confront him and ask him if wants to go out with you.

Yes, it sounds like he likes you.

No, it probably means he likes you, but is shy. If you like him as well, a smile can go a long way, or a little compliment to boost his confidence: "You're a nice guy, I like you". Being extra weird is a sign that he doesn't really know how to handle his feelings or how to approach you, that's okay. Give it some time. Also, having a normal conversation helps reduce the weirdness. You can even address this with a wink and a smile: "Hey, it's oky, it's just me, don't act so weird and let's just talk about stuff."

He may like you, but the only way to know for sure is to ask him.

Just tell them. It can be good to talk it through, then you don't have to keep hiding it from them. It will also make it less awkward if they start flirting with them in front of you, as they are less likely to do so. Remember, that the person who is the object of your affection is the one who will decide who, he or she likes the most, so don't fight over that decision!

If he's asking about you, it shows he's interested in you. If you like him back, try flirting with him directly. Consider reminding him that if he wants to know anything about you, he could just ask you directly. Alternatively, ask your cousin not to share too much with him, or anyone else for that matter.

If he tries to talk to you, tries to act funny or cool around you, is trying to be touchy or trying to have a good decent conversation with you by listening to everything you say and sounding excited about it, he's most likely into you.

It's hard to say, she might be shy, she might like you, or she might feel other things. You could just ask her in a casual conversation, or give her a compliment: "You seem like a nice girl, I like you."

He may be too shy to tell you straight up that he loves you, but may want you to know through his actions. So yes it may be that he likes you, but don't push it him about it, he may just want to be close friends.

It depends. If they like you, yes, but they may not talk to you due to unusual things you might do or a secret they found out about you. Just don't bother with it.

Sure, asking him directly is a strong way to get clear information. Consider that it might also break the spell a little. What if he likes you, but not yet enough to actually admit that he does? A little compliment can go a long way: "You're such a nice guy, I kinda really like you". Alternatively, you could go on a date and spend some time together, see what happens.

Smiling doesn't automatically mean he likes you, but it is a good sign.

Try to get some information from your friend about why she thinks he liked you. If it seems like he probably really does, try talking to him. Just be friendly, ask him about his holiday, etc. If he seems like he really doesn't want to talk to you, let it go. You don't want to force anything.

Maybe. If you like him too, try starting a conversation.

You should probably ask him to stop, or just become friends with him again, as that might be what he wants.

If they tease you in a mean way and are trying to make you feel bad, they probably don't like you and are just mean. But if they are jokingly or playfully teasing, they could like you. Examples of playful and joking teases are that they say you like someone else or maybe a little thing about how you look that's off.

Trying to be close to you is a clear sign that he likes you. The other guy thing is a sign of jealousy and that is another sign that he likes you. If you like him back, try flirting a little to see what happens, or go out on a date.

Do you like him, too? Maybe you should try looking at him, and and let him catch you staring at him to let him know you're interested in him.

In some cases, you can obviously determine whether or not your crush is romantically interested. Pay careful attention to your crush's interest in touching you vs. listening to you. If your crush is more interested in touching you and rarely listens to what you have to say, he is probably more interested in a physical relationship. If he shows interest in what you have to say and is interested in more than touching you, your crush probably likes you emotionally.

This definitely means he likes you. Remember, it's never okay to touch anyone anywhere without their permission, you can set limits any way you like. And everyone must respect them. With that out of the way, this is a very good thing! Your crush likes you, so ask yourself what you want to do next. You could go on a date, for example.

Take some time to evaluate your feelings for that friend. Do you like them in that way? If not, let them know in a kind, direct way that you don't share the same feelings for them, but that you want to remain friends. This will reduce potential tension for both of you. If you do like them, take it slowly, but let the friend know that you also have feelings for them.
