They like me, they like me not. Does it feel as if you’re plucking petals trying to decipher whether someone likes you? Or do they avoid you? Or are you overthinking it?
You may think someone can’t stand you and that may not be the case at all.
It can be hard to figure out someone’s true thoughts about you but there are some subtle signs that you can pick up on to get to the bottom of it.
Whether it be romantic or just general feelings about you.
Here are six signs a person likes you, even if you don’t think so.
1. They try to get close to you
You must’ve thought this obvious, right? But don’t be surprised because even so it’s actually quite easily missed
Have you ever noticed anyone always around you, perhaps out of the corner of your eye, you always see the same person.
You may not think much about it but people try to get physically closer to the people that they like.
Whether it be by moving objects separating you two such as a plate or a pillow, or taking the same walking route as you.
People try to get close to you in many ways. After all, if someone truly doesn’t like you chances are you wouldn’t see them very often.
2. They walk beside you
Any guesses as to why this may be a sign?
Here’s the thing. It’s easier to talk to, maintain eye contact and get physically closer to someone when walking next to them.
So naturally people who like you will want to walk beside you and maintain your pace.
However, someone may also like you and walk behind you. This means they’re too shy to walk beside you but still wanna be near you.
If they walk in front of you they’re probably more concerned with where they’re going than talking to you.
Basically someone who likes you will try to be near you in any way they can.
3. Their body language is open to you
Did they tilt their head towards you, or lean in when you were laughing in your recent conversation with them?
Were they playing with their hair while talking to you?
In a conversation, body language is everything.
Seeing as most people don’t know how to control it, it subconsciously gives away how a lot of people feel, more specifically the way people point their feet is a big indicator.
If they’re pointing at you, it probably means they’re subconsciously wanting your attention.
The feet are the first things that move when going somewhere. So the direction they’re facing also hints at where the person would like to be.
If they’re facing you, the person may be wanting to get closer to you which is a big sign they like you.
Similarly, if someone has their hands on their hips exposing their stomach to you it’s a good sign that they’re open to you.
As overlooked as body language is, it can tell you a lot about whether someone likes you.
4. They sit up straight around you
Did you know someone sitting up straight around you isn’t necessarily a sign of them being on edge and uncomfortable?
It can also mean they’re trying to look their best in front of you.
When sitting up straight, you show off all your strong features and look a bit taller. So people often set up straight around people who they want to impress.
Therefore, when someone sits up straight, they may look rigid and like they’re trying to put distance between you two but they may be simply trying to impress you.
5. They blink less around you
Sounds bizarre, right?
But hear this out. Your blinking rate actually does say a decent amount about how you’re feeling.
According to a study, cited by Psychology Today, people tend to blink more when they’re anxious.
Blinking also serves as a way to subconsciously block out things we don’t like.
So if a person blinks less around you chances are it’s a good sign they like you. It’s their subconscious way of trying not to miss anything about you.
All eyes on you, watch out.
6. They raise their eyebrows when greeting you
What’s a weird thing you’ve noticed about people being happy and their eyebrows?
Hint, it has something to do with going up.
People tend to raise their eyebrows when they’re happy and excited. So you often subconsciously raise your eyebrows when you’re happy to see someone.
It’s easy to overlook and if someone doesn’t raise their eyebrows around you it doesn’t mean that they hate you.
However, it is a sign that they like you, if they always raise their eyebrows and smile at you.
Conclusion
It’s never easy guessing others’ true feelings about you.
It’s always a flip-flop between considering you’re overthinking or perhaps they do actually like you.
You are not alone in this struggle for sure.
Almost everyone has spent many nights staying up late and replaying little interactions and scenarios.
But the important thing to remember is that whether someone likes you or not is not your fault. What matters most is that you love yourself.
