How do you know if your crush likes you but is hiding it?
Look for signs in his body language like eye contact and leaning in towards you while talking. He'll also initiate more physical touch between you. Study his behavior, including the time between text responses and how jealous he seems when other guys are mentioned.
Despite the differences, Cacioppo told INSIDER it is possible for a crush to develop into a relationship. “With crushing, you're OK with the distance because you're not fully in it yet," Kolawole added.

Smile and make eye contact when you see the person you like.

One of the signs he secretly loves you, is he often tries to impress you. He might try hard not to make his feelings obvious, he might not want to say he actually loves you — but then he'll never miss out on an opportunity to impress you. Advit would always do it.
The closer he wants to be to you, the more he probably likes you. This body language is a minute way that guys go for physical contact. People who are just being nice don't want to get closer and closer to another person. Instead, they'll keep a safe distance and might lean away if you try to touch them.
