Just be simple and direct. Say, "I wanted to tell you that I have a crush on you" or "I really like hanging out with you, and I want you to know that I have feelings for you." When you tell your crush, look them in the eye and relax your body.
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.
If her attention is primarily on anything other than you, and if she doesn't seem excited to be spending time with you, that's the number-one universal sign that you're not her #1 choice. If she: Is constantly checking her phone. Acts like there's somewhere else she needs or wants to be.
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. But if you begin to have shared, in-person experiences with your crush, an attachment system is created.
How do you know if your crush likes you but is hiding it?
They lean in when you talk
Body language is key. “If someone secretly likes you, they may tilt their head as you speak, which is a sign of engagement,” Dr. Hafeez shares. They'll turn to you when you speak and will keep their body language open.
And while a girl crush is, by its informal definition, not sexual in nature, the feelings that it triggers - excitement, nervousness, a sense of novelty - are very much like those that accompany a new romance. This is not a new phenomenon.
When you add someone in Secret Crush, they'll be notified that an anonymous person has a crush on them. You will only match and your name will only be revealed if you both added each other as crushes. Unless there's a match, the secret crush won't know that you entered their name.
Do Something Fun Together. Do something active next time you hang out — a hike, a walk on the beach, or a rollercoaster ride. Any experience that generates excitement and creates ~butterflies~ is not only fun but memorable too. Your crush will associate you with a good time and a fuzzy feeling in his/her chest.
Flirt nonverbally. If you feel nervous about approaching your crush, there are several things you can do to get her attention and appear interested. Make eye contact and smile. Eye contact and smiling shows that you are friendly and approachable, but you have to make sure not to overdo it.
She may have good reasons for keeping a lid on her feelings for you. She's already in a relationship and isn't sure whom she wants to be with. She knows what she feels for you but doesn't want you to know just yet. She's ashamed of her feelings for you but can't help showing them sometimes.
If someone smiles a lot when they look at you and connects eye contact with smiling, it is usually because they find you attractive. They might also make fun of you and tease you, or try to make you laugh. If someone's into you, you make them nervous. Their heart will beat rapidly from being around you.
Here are the typical signs someone is attracted to you:
They tilt their head as you speak (a sign of engagement). They smile at you. They make eye contact with you. They reach out and touch your arm, hand, back, or leg.
