Discover the subtle signs that reveal a secret crush. Psychologists point to constant eye contact and open body language as key indicators. Nervous behaviour when you are near also signals attraction. Furthermore, someone interested will give you ample attention and make time for you. Even their friends and family might know about you.

Almost all of us may have spent moments in our lives thinking whether a particular individual have a crush on us or not. Some of their behaviours might indicate that they are attracted to you. On the other hand, sometimes you may feel vice-versa. These non-verbal signals form an exciting social game that human beings constantly engage in. However, psychologist have already cracked the puzzle of these social games. There are some clear-cut signs through which you can verify exactly whether a person is into you or not. In this article, we will divine deep into 5 of those most important signs.



1. Constant Eye-Contact

If both of you are keeping eye contact for longer and the communication is going deep at the same time, this is a clear signal that your energies are in harmony. Maintaining eye contact for some more time than we usually do can be translated in this way “I see you. I am looking at your soul. I am in tune with you. Deeply.”




Secondly, if you are in a social setting and someone is continually looking at you, then this can mean physical attraction. They are attracted by your energy, looks, confidence or aura. Indeed, some shy individuals may divert their eyes the moment you look at them. If you find them attractive as well, you can walk towards them and strike up a conversation. Who knows, maybe, this person could be your soulmate.




2. Open Body Language Towards You

If you are having doubts whether an individual is having a crush on you or not, observe their body language very closely. They will have an open and welcoming body language towards you. They’ll constantly smile at you, lean in while speaking to you or, in fact, unconsciously mirror your body language as well. Stand with your hands on your hips. Most probably, they might also do the same if they are attracted to you. This is another subconscious way in which human beings communicate to each other than “I am in tune you.”



3. Behaving Nervous When You are Nearby


This signal manifests in the very initial stages of attraction. As they are strongly attracted to you, they really want to make a good impression on you. This subconscious thought will make them nervous when you are around.



4. They Will Give You a Lot of Attention

They will try their best to spend quality time with you. They’ll make excuses to others so as to come towards you. They will suggest you some plans for the weekends or they may even ask you to plan something. If you text them, their replies will be as fast as a lightning. Their messages may be long as well.



5. Their Family and Friends Will Know You


We can't help but talk to our close ones about the person that we love. So, if their close friends and family members know you and they let you know that this specific person speaks a lot and very highly of you, this is a good signal as well. Indeed, they will also be very eager to introduce you to their different friend circles.
