And chances are, you can't change that. So instead of beating yourself up or asking yourself dozens of questions that you'll never have the answers to, understand that your crush's feelings are nothing personal. Easier said than done, but it's worth a try.
How do you impress your crush who is your best friend?
Our Expert Agrees: When you have a crush on your best friend, at some point, you have to let them know how you feel. You might say something like, "I'm starting to feel something for you," but you can also be more subtle to get a feel for where they're at.
Notice if they act nervous, anxious, or hyper around you.
For example, if your crush gets flustered when talking or fidgets a little more than usual, they're likely interested in you. See if your crush is sweating or blushing for other signs they may be a little nervous around you.
If you notice your crush is often right next to you or near you in a group setting or a meeting at work, it could be a strong sign they're interested in you romantically. While friends do the same by default, you might find that your crush is making an additional effort to be near you.
How do you know if your friend secretly likes your crush?
If your friend does things like make eye contact with your crush, flip their hair, smile when your crush is around, or laugh and giggle often, they are likely flirting with your crush. While some laughing and joking can be completely harmless, if they do these things all the time, your friend is likely crushing too.
Eye contact is a subtle but strong sign. If she holds eye contact with you, that could be a sign she's interested. Let's say you're in a social setting and a woman across the room looks at you. If she looks at you and then instantly turns away, it may be because she is shy or doesn't want to get caught looking at you.
If she knows and does like you back she will talk to you more, walk near you, sit next to you, make eye contact, twirl her hair, or give you compliments. She may also be secretive about who she likes.
What does it mean when a girl stares at you without smiling?
You may notice her glaring at you without a trace of a smile on her face, which implies she's upset or annoyed at you in some way. Other signs that she's upset include giving you the silent treatment or speaking sarcastically (and sometimes with deliberate rudeness) when she does talk to you.
If a boy really has a crush on you, then he'll be likely to give you all of his attention. He'll turn his body toward you, make eye contact, and won't look around for his other friends or text them during your conversation (unless he uses his phone as a crutch because he's nervous).
