The constant thought of whether a person likes you or not can keep you on your toes. Not every person can be read like an open book. Some are very adept at hiding their feelings. Of course, we all strive to avoid the pain of unrequited love. The situation can be aggravated by the fact that not everyone is able to see his true motives behind the words and actions of a person. For some, it is not difficult to determine what feelings a person has for them. It is very difficult for others to do this. However, observation can help find the answer to an important question: do you like the person you have sympathy for?

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Observe Body Language

1. 1 Watch out for eye contact. Eye contact is one of the most important parts of body language. If you catch the eye of a person of the opposite sex, chances are they are interested in you. If the person keeps eye contact with you, it means that they have a liking for you.
   • If you feel that the person is looking at you, quickly move your gaze to him. If a person likes you, he will look at you when you are busy with something and do not pay attention to him. If you are in the same room with the person you like, quickly move your gaze to see if he is looking at you. If he's shy, chances are he'll look away. If he is confident in himself, in all likelihood, he will try to get to know you.
2. 2 Pay attention to whether the person is smiling when looking at you. Like eye contact, smiling can tell a lot about how you feel about someone. Eye contact tends to indicate interest, while a smile tends to indicate that the person has a liking for you. Observe the person you like. Does he smile when he looks at you?
   • Make eye contact with the person and see if they smile when they look you in the eyes. If he smiles at you, it’s a good sign that he has tender feelings for you.
   • A shy person can feel very embarrassed in the presence of someone they like. Therefore, the absence of a smile does not always indicate an indifferent attitude towards you.
3. 3 Pay attention to the gentle touch. Light touching is often a form of flirting. The person might touch your arm or waist, or even hug you.Although friends often touch each other in the process of communication, if you notice that the person is embarrassed by touching you, they most likely have feelings for you.
   • Try to lightly touch the person you like and watch their reaction. If you see embarrassment or pleasant excitement on his part, chances are he likes you.
4. 4 See if the person is trying to look their best in your presence. Body language is the main, unconscious way to emphasize your attractiveness. Without realizing it, a person changes their body language, depending on the situation. If you happen to meet someone you like, watch what changes in their body language. Thanks to this, you can understand if there is interest on his part.
   • Men and women use different ways of non-verbal communication to emphasize their attractiveness. As for men, they try to appear significant and confident in the presence of women. A man can push his chest forward or keep his hands on his belt.
   • Women accentuate their attractiveness in more sensual ways. If you happen to meet a girl you like, watch her. Girls tend to smile, fiddle with their hair, or get embarrassed in the presence of someone they like.
5. 5 Think about whether the person is trying to constantly be with you, even if he has to change his plans for this. If a person likes you, they will naturally desire to be with you all the time. This person may be doing their best to accompany you to work or school. You can also meet him often in a more informal setting, thinking that these are just casual encounters. This person can create such situations purposefully to be near you.

Method 2 of 3: Talk to the person you like

1. 1 Find an opportunity to talk about something personal. If you often communicate with this person, you can easily determine how he treats you. Conversation between people who like each other is usually very lively, compared to a calm, casual conversation between friends. You can discuss different topics: personal life, fears, painful experiences. Such topics involve people who like each other. Start a conversation about one of these topics and see how the person you like reacts to it. If this person is interested in discussing more personal topics, it may indicate that they are interested in you.
2. 2 Flirt. If you want to build a relationship with someone who doesn't openly show interest in you, try flirting with them. Flirting is a demeanor that attracts the attention of a potential partner. Flirting includes many types and forms. If you like a person, chances are, you are already showing your interest, although you yourself do not think about it. You can smile at this person, try to establish and maintain (or, on the contrary, break) eye contact, laugh, say compliments and joke around him. All of this is related to flirting.
   • If the person you like responds to your flirting with similar actions, then most likely they care about you.
   • Of course, if the person you like first shows that he is interested in communicating with you, then most likely he likes you. Watch the person's behavior closely. If he compliments you about your appearance or charm, then chances are that the person likes you.
3. 3 Try to joke and see the person's reaction. Humor is one of the most common ways a person can show their interest in a person of the opposite sex. If you like to joke and you are good at it, try to joke with the person you like and watch their reaction.If a person likes you, he will have fun laughing at your jokes. Besides, a sense of humor is one of the most attractive qualities in a person. Even if the person you like didn't pay attention to you, they may notice you if you are a cheerful conversationalist.
   • On the other hand, if the person does not laugh at all, then most likely he is not interested in you. Stay away from such people.
4. 4 Pay attention to how quickly the person you like responds to your messages. In the age of online communication, it's easy to understand how a person feels about you. If he and you are both social media users or sending emails to each other, watch how quickly that person responds to your messages. If it happens relatively quickly, it can be a good sign that he likes you. However, remember that a person can be very busy, so if he does not answer you right away, this does not mean that he does not care about you. Watch how quickly he responds to your messages and to those of others. Thanks to this, you can understand whether this person is actually busy or he does not show interest in you.
5. 5 Ask directly. If you have tried all the methods, but still do not understand how the person you like treats you, ask directly about his feelings. As a rule, if a person has sympathy for someone, he shows it. Therefore, it is very rarely necessary to ask direct questions. However, if you're not willing to wait, ask the person how they feel about you.
   • It's not difficult at all. Just ask, “I think you like me. Tell me, is that so? "
   • If the person you like is very shy, they may not answer your question directly. So don't start your conversation with this question. Better to ask it in the middle of your conversation.

Method 3 of 3: Find Out Through Friends

1. 1 Make sure the person doesn't have sympathy for anyone else. While a single person may show interest in multiple members of the opposite sex at once, find out if they are already trying to build a relationship with someone else. Find out this information from friends, or watch how he behaves towards people of the opposite sex.
2. 2 Get a friend's opinion. People tend to observe the behavior of other people. If your friend knows about your sympathy, ask him what he thinks of this person, as well as his attitude towards you. Even if you are very observant, the other person sees the situation from a different angle and can give you good advice.
   • A mutual friend is a great help when in doubt. A friend can give his or her opinion on whether you are the right fit for each other.
3. 3 Ask a friend if he heard something. If a person has sympathy for someone, as a rule, in the company of friends, he talks about his feelings. If you want a more specific answer, but are not ready to talk about it with the person you sympathize with, ask your friends how they feel about you. In some cases, they can retell his words to you. In other cases, they can give their opinion. Thanks to this, you will get a general idea of ​​this person's attitude towards you.
   • Note that friends can tell this person that you were interested in him. Therefore, if you want to keep your feelings a secret, do not rush to ask your friends questions.
   • As a rule, girls, compared to guys, are more likely to discuss their personal life with their girlfriends. However, this advice applies to both girls and guys.
4. 4 Find out what his friends think of you. As a rule, friends listen to each other's opinions. If your friends speak well of you, then the person you like is more likely to have a good opinion of you. Observe the behavior of your friends. If you see that they are treating you well, then in all likelihood, the person you like is also treating you.If your friends do not show much interest in you, then we can assume that the person you have sympathy for has similar feelings.
   • Don't ask the person directly how they feel about you. Many people, out of politeness, will choose to lie so as not to hurt your feelings. Therefore, it is better to observe the behavior of people. See how they treat you. Do they want you to take part in a joint discussion of any issue? Do they listen to you when you say something and do they ask you questions? Of course, it is very difficult to say what people think of you if you just met them. However, you can usually get a general idea by observing how a few friends treat you.
5. 5 Pay attention to how he treats you when you are with friends. As a rule, it is not difficult to notice how the person treats you. Of course, friendships can exist between a guy and a girl. However, observe how he treats you when you are with friends. If he wants to introduce you to his friends, chances are he sees you as a potential partner with whom to build a relationship.
   • If he ignores you with friends, chances are he has no interest in you. Although some people are in no hurry to show their feelings for a person when they are with friends, if this person likes you, he will treat you with respect.
   • If the person you like engages you in a conversation or other activity and is not shy about showing you feelings, chances are they see you as a potential partner.

Tips

• Think about the character of the person. If he is shy, he will show less affection than a confident person.
• Men and women show affection in different ways. Therefore, if you want to know if the person you have sympathy for, first of all, remember that men and women show affection in different ways.

Warnings

• Be prepared for rejection. Even if it seems to you that the person is showing interest in you, it is difficult to say exactly what feelings they have for you. You cannot be completely sure until you have convincing evidence.
