To know if you like someone, consider these key signs: you think about them often, feel happy and excited when around them, prioritize spending time with them, feel nervous or flustered in their presence, and care about their opinion. You might also find yourself curious about who they are, wanting to learn more about their life, and feeling comfortable being your authentic self with them. If you notice these feelings and behaviors, it's likely you have genuine liking or attraction toward that person.
Some specific indicators include:
- Frequently thinking about them in different moments.
- Having a positive mood and feeling safe or happy when with them.
- Rearranging your schedule or making efforts to spend time together.
- Studies show people who like someone often show body language cues such as leaning closer, maintaining eye contact, and smiling more.
- Wondering what they think of you or seeking their approval.
- Feeling excited but also sometimes nervous around them.
If these signs resonate, it often means you truly like someone rather than just appreciating the idea of them or their attention.
