If you have fallen in love, wondering about the reciprocity of feelings is completely normal. Fortunately, close observation of a person's behavior will help you find the answer. If a person likes you, they may freak out when they talk to you, ask you questions about the presence or absence of a partner, and find reasons to meet. At the same time, try not to get too hung up on the analysis of a person's actions and remember that you can always ask a direct question!

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Digital Communication

1. 1 Notice frequent social media interactions. If the sympathy is mutual, then the person will almost certainly subscribe to your pages on different social networks in order to always be aware of the events. If he writes to you on Instagram, posts on Facebook, and interacts with you on other social networks, then this is a good sign.

   Another sign is a person's “Likes” under most of your posts.

   
   
2. 2 Pay attention to what time the person calls or texts you. If you receive messages only late at night or when the person is bored, then the sympathy may not be too mutual. When a person is interested in you, he will write or call you at any free time to ask about business or tell about an interesting case.
   • If a person writes to you in the morning, this is a good sign, because he remembers you almost immediately after waking up.
3. 3 Estimate the frequency of messages or calls. If you are very interesting to a person, then he will want to stay in touch with you all the time. If you communicate often and in detail, or even just exchange short messages throughout the day, the likelihood of mutual sympathy is quite high.
   • However, there is a possibility that the person perceives you as a very good and close friend.

   If you want to get closer and understand the reciprocity of feelings, then it is better not to rush... Do not knock a person down with a flurry of all accumulated emotions, otherwise undesirable consequences are possible. Act gradually, let him get used to you and realize that you are not following the script. If you hurry and press, you can scare the person away.

   
   
4. 4 Notice how often the person replies to your messages. To do this, you need to communicate on social networks and via SMS. Infrequent responses may indicate a lack of interest. Evaluate how often replies to your messages come, even after a while, and not instantly.
   • It should be understood that a person may not always be able to respond immediately. If the answer comes to you after a few hours, then the likelihood of mutual sympathy is still quite high, which cannot be said about the answers after a few days.
   • You should not rely on this aspect alone, as the person may be just being polite.

Method 2 of 4: Body Language

1. 1 Notice excitement, anxiety, or agitation in your presence. The person may act agitated or restless when you are around. This usually means that he wants to make a good impression on you and is afraid to say the wrong word or do an inappropriate act, while an excited state indicates the joy of meeting you.
   • For example, if a person fidgets during a conversation or fidgets more than usual, then they almost certainly have mutual sympathy for you.
   • If the person sweats or blushes, then they are a little worried around you.
2. 2 Pay attention to eye contact. This aspect largely depends on the personality type of the object of your sympathy. A shy person will rarely look you in the eye and often look away. A determined person will make eye contact with confidence if they like you.
   • Pay attention to the pupils - if they dilate when looking at you, then this is a good sign.
   • Eye contact between people depends a lot on the character of the person, so it's best not to rely on this aspect alone.
   • If a person likes you, then he will regularly look at you furtively.
3. 3 Notice light touches. This is a common way to show your sympathy. If the person playfully nudges you or slaps you on the shoulder, they may be trying to communicate their sympathy to you.
   • For example, if you’re spending time together and the person playfully bumps his hip against your hip or gently squeezes his shoulder, it might be because of mutual sympathy.
   • In some cases, this behavior may be common for a person in all situations.
4. 4 Estimate the direction of the person's shoe socks. In the case of sympathy, people repeat each other's body language and turn to the other person with their whole body. On the next conversation, look at the person's feet and notice where the toes are facing. Do not overlook this aspect, as such a position during a dialogue may be familiar to a person.
   • If the person moves the chair to face you, then this is a good sign.
5. 5 Notice when the person leans towards you during a conversation. When we are interested in someone, we involuntarily try to get closer to the person. During the next conversation, pay attention to how the person is standing or sitting. If he is directed towards you, then the likelihood of reciprocity is quite high.
   • Perhaps he puts his elbows on the table and leans forward with his whole body to get closer to you.
   • Body language can not always be interpreted correctly, so do not limit yourself to just such a sign when assessing the situation.

Method 3 of 4: Deep Conversations

1. 1 Sympathy can be mutual if a person asks you about the presence of a partner. If a person likes you, they will want to know who you like or who you are dating. In this case, pay attention to the questions about a real or hypothetical partner.
   • The person can work around them and ask your friends questions.
2. 2 Notice various questions about your life or hobbies. If a person wants to get to know you as best as possible, then you are very interesting to him. It is important to pay attention to how carefully he listens to your stories about his life and how often he remembers the details of such conversations.
   • For example, a person might ask about your favorite food, TV show, or pets.
   • Perhaps he just wants to befriend you.
   • If you said that you love skating, after which you were invited to the rink, then you were listened to very carefully.
3. 3 Pay attention to conversations about the future, which may be a sign of sympathy. These conversations include discussions about travel, preferred career options, or expectations for the future. If a person starts such conversations with you or asks questions about the future, then the likelihood of sympathy is very high.
   • For example, if he says: “I want to study mechanical engineering at the institute, and what would you like to study?”, Then he is interested in deep conversations with you.
4. 4 Notice the information that the person shares only with you. If a person likes you, then he will be comfortable communicating with you and sharing personal information. Start conversations with him and notice signs of trust, such as talking about secrets that the person only shares with you.
   • Such information may relate to details of family life, past relationships and secret details that no one else knows about.
   • The person probably trusts you, even if they only see you as a friend.

Method 4 of 4: Social Behavior

1. 1 The person finds reasons to spend time with you. If a person really likes you, then he will want to see you as often as possible, not only in the presence of friends and relatives, but also in private. Be aware if he often invites you to meet or finds reasons to contact you with friends.
   • For example, if at a party a person invites you to dance or eat together, this behavior may indicate sympathy.
   • If he makes excuses for being around you, such as preparing for a test or the opportunity to go home together, then the person is almost certainly interested in you.
2. 2 Pay attention to the behavior of the person's friends in your presence. If the target of your sympathy is experiencing reciprocal feelings, his friends may behave differently around you. When you spend time with the same company, they may try to embarrass him or praise him when you listen carefully.
   • They can emphasize his dignity in your presence, so that you pay attention to the person.
   • Some of the person's friends may even hint to you about their sympathy (for example, suggesting that you only meet together).
3. 3 The person notices your needs. This is another sign of being attentive and caring. Pay attention to the person's reaction when you say you are cold or hungry. If the object of your sympathy tries to satisfy your need, your mood and well-being is important for him.
   • For example, if he offers his jacket to keep you warm, or comes to you with fruit when you are sick, then his behavior has obvious signs of concern.
   • Caring is always pleasant, but it is not always a guarantee of falling in love.
4. 4 Pay attention to taking care of cleanliness and order. This applies to both appearance care and personal space like home and car. If, upon meeting, you notice that the object of your sympathy has cleaned the room or tidied himself up, then it is likely that he is trying to make a good impression on you.
   • For example, a person styled their hair, took a shower, chose a nice cologne or a clean suit.
   • If a person likes you, he will always try to look presentable to you.
5. 5 The person smiles and laughs at your jokes. Mutual sympathy brings people together and even their sense of humor. Notice how the person reacts to your jokes and funny stories. If he smiles in response to your smile and laughs at jokes, then he definitely likes your sense of humor.
   • Such a reaction may indicate reciprocal sympathy or that the person considers you to be a cheerful person.
6. 6 Notice playful behavior and flirting. If the person calls you funny nicknames, jokes or teases, then he flirts with you. Everyone flirts in their own way, but if the person is playfully joking without wanting to offend you, they are probably trying to get your attention and show their sympathy.
   • Flirting can also include light hand touches and mild sarcastic remarks.
   • A person's attempts to show off can also indicate a desire to get your attention.
   • Some people playfully communicate with everyone they talk to, so you can't rely on this aspect alone.

Tips

• Gather your courage and ask the person if he likes you (or ask a friend to ask).
• Trust your intuition! If you have a good feeling, then go for it!
• If a person wants to introduce you to their friends, then this is a sign of sympathy.
• If you often catch the eyes of a person, then you are interested in him.
