Knowing how to tell if someone likes you should be simple enough but it can be difficult to read someone's signals. There are a few ways to tell if someone likes you without coming right out and asking.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Body language - When someone likes you, they tend to lean in toward you during conversations. They also may put their hand on you or brush against you.

  2. Step 2

    Another way to tell if someone likes you is to watch their eyes. Are they focused on you? Do you often catch them staring and when you meet their gaze, they hold it for a few seconds then look away? This could be a sign that they're interested.

  3. Step 3

    When someone likes you, they may do things just to be closer to you. They'll take lunch at the same time, sit at the same table or offer to work with you on a project. You'll find that they may go out of their way just to spend time with you.

  4. Step 4

    If they seem a little tongue tied around you, they might like you. Sometimes it's hard to concentrate on hidden feelings and talk to the object of your affections at the same time. This results in strange conversation patterns, changing the subject, not making much sense, stuttering and basically appearing odd or confused.

  5. Step 5

    Are they sweating? Perspiration will sometimes increase when we're near the ones we're crushing on. We start to feel warm, pulse picks up and on comes the sweat. Maybe that's what is meant when one is said to have the "hots" for someone else.

Tips & Warnings
  • If the feeling is mutual, don't be afraid to make the first move. Go ahead and ask them out. If you don't try, you'll never know.
  • Perhaps they "like" you but not in the way you had hoped. Don't miss out on a great friendship. It's possible that later it could blossom into something more but if not, you've made a wonderful friend.
