It is not always easy to tell if a person is in love with you. This is even more difficult if the person is a close friend. Friendship, as a rule, implies free and easy communication, which from the outside can easily be mistaken for flirting. If you're looking to determine if your friend is romantically interested in you, pay attention to their body language and communication! Alternatively, you can take the courage to ask him directly if he has romantic feelings for you.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Pay attention to your body language

1. 1 Pay attention to his body position in your presence. If your friend has sympathy for you, all his gestures, facial expressions and body position will show that he is open to communication. Even in the presence of other people, your friend will be facing you with his whole body.
   • If you see that your friend is relaxed and his body is facing you, then this indicates that he feels free. This may mean that he likes you. However, it can also indicate that this person perceives you as just a friend, so he is comfortable with you.
   • Pay attention to any changes in your friend's body position. For example, if your friend was previously relaxed with you, you may now notice that he is tense. It could be related to his feelings for you. He may be nervous in your presence because of his love for you.
   • If your friend allows himself to stand with crossed arms or turn away from you in your presence, chances are he doesn't like you. However, if you notice this only from time to time, it may mean that he is busy with business or communicates with someone.
2. 2 Pay attention to eye contact. Eye contact is a versatile way to flirt. If you notice that your friend often looks you in the eye, it could be a sign that he likes you.
   • Of course, it is only natural to look your interlocutor in the eye when you interact with him. However, if your friend has a liking for you, he will do so much more often.
   • If your friend looks you in the eye and smiles, then most likely he likes you. If you want to show him you're interested, smile back!
   • If you notice that your friend is looking at you more often or suddenly looks away, this could be a sign that he has a romantic interest in you.
3. 3 Pay attention to how often your friend touches his face, hair, or collarbone in your presence. If your friend has sympathy for you, you may notice that in your presence this person plays with a lock of hair, touches his lips or collarbone with his fingertips. This is usually a subconscious gesture that indicates romantic interest.
4. 4 Pay attention to any changes in your friend's appearance. If your friend used to always wear sweatpants and an old T-shirt when you spent time together, and now you notice that his appearance has improved significantly, for example, he chooses his best outfits when going to a meeting with you, he most likely wants to produce good impression on you.
5. 5 See if your friend is copying your behavior. If a friend likes you, then, most likely, he will subconsciously copy your behavior. If you notice that a friend touches his face or crosses his legs whenever you do, it may indicate that he cares about you.
6. 6 Pay attention to the length of the hug. If hugs are common for you, look to see if they are getting longer. This may indicate that your friend has sympathy for you.
   • If you previously did not allow hugs in a relationship, but now your friend allows himself to do this, most likely he is in love with you.
   • People tend to feel uncomfortable in the presence of someone they like. If your friend has always hugged you before, but suddenly stopped hugging you, this could be a sign that he has a romantic interest in you.
7. 7 Pay attention to how often your friend touches you. The more you love a person, the more often you try to touch him. If you notice that your friend is looking for opportunities to touch you all the time, then most likely he likes you.
   • For example, your friend might touch your hand while talking about how soft your sweater is.
   • If you notice that your friend has become more affectionate with you, this may mean that he is in love with you. On the other hand, if you touch each other often but notice that your friend has stopped doing so recently, he may be embarrassed and embarrassed because he likes you.
   • Some people are naturally very gentle and affectionate. If your friend touches others while communicating with them, then this gesture can hardly be considered romantic in this case.

Method 2 of 3: Pay attention to signs during communication

1. 1 Pay attention to how often your friend laughs at your jokes. If you like to joke, then it is only natural for your friend to laugh at your jokes. However, if he laughs at all your jokes, even those that are not very funny, then most likely this person likes you. ...
   • Try an experiment.Tell a not-so-interesting anecdote in front of your friend and see how they react. If he laughs, then most likely he has romantic feelings for you.
2. 2 Pay attention to the fact that your friend is constantly complimenting you. If your friend likes you, he will pay attention to everything that concerns you, and will not miss the opportunity to praise you for it. A loving person is ready to constantly make compliments, and they can be associated not only with appearance, but also with the ability to cope with everyday affairs. If you notice that your friend is complimenting you more often, he may like you.
   • Some people like to compliment you, so don't jump to conclusions if your friend compliments you.
3. 3 Pay attention to the fact that your friend remembers minor details related to you. If a friend pays attention to minor details related to your life, chances are they care about you. If a person loves you, he will pay attention to everything you say.
   • If during the conversation you mentioned that you love Skittles, and a few days later your friend brought you these candies, then perhaps he likes you.
   • However, your friend may just have a good memory, so gestures like this may not always indicate romantic interest.
4. 4 Pay attention to whether your friend offers to help you. Of course, if you feel sympathy for a person, you will try to do as much as possible for him. If your friend continually offers you help, chances are he has sympathy for you.
   • Help and concern can be expressed in small matters. For example, your friend might remind you to bring a bottle of water in case you feel thirsty.
   • If you think your friend is in love with you, do not use him for your own purposes. This will be a manifestation of selfishness and indifference.
5. 5 Be aware that your friend is suddenly interested in the romantic side of your life. If your friend is in love with you, he may suddenly start wondering if you are dating and ask a lot of questions about it. If you tell him that you are not meeting with anyone at the moment, then he may see this fact as an opportunity to build a closer relationship with you.
   • If a friend likes you, they may be jealous or annoyed if you talk about how you like the other person. When a person you like appears, he may be silent.
   • Your friend will not say in your presence that he likes someone else if he has a romantic interest in you.
6. 6 Talk to someone who knows your friend if you are in doubt about his feelings. Your mutual friends will probably be able to objectively assess the situation and tell you if the person really has sympathy for you.
   • For example, you might say, “I've noticed that Anna has been acting differently lately. Do you think she may be in love with me? "
   • Be prepared that your mutual friend may not want to discuss this issue with you, or he may not have the information you need.

Method 3 of 3: Move Forward

1. 1 Give your friend the opportunity to confess their feelings on their own. Take time to chat with a friend in private, in a place that is comfortable for you, where no one can interfere with you. Behave naturally so that your friend is comfortable with you and can open his heart to you.
   • Tell your friend how much he means to you. Mention a few points that you particularly like about it. This will make it easier for him to confess his feelings.
   • If your friend says that he really values ​​friendship with you, and is limited to only this, most likely you have a platonic relationship.
2. 2 Ask him directly if he is in no rush to confess. If you feel brave and want to know the answer to your question, then you just need to ask your friend if he is in love with you.Note that your friend is likely to be caught off guard, so don't ask him for an immediate response, but allow him to think a bit.
   • For example, you can say: “Recently I have got the feeling that you do not want to be limited only by friendly relations. I think it will be better if we talk about it openly. "
   • If your friend says he doesn't have romantic feelings for you, move the conversation to another topic. You should not focus on this, perhaps the person is not ready to share their true feelings with you.
3. 3 Don't be fooled if you don't have romantic feelings for a friend. If your friend confesses that he has sympathy for you, but, unfortunately, you cannot reciprocate, honestly tell him about it. Speak softly about not being ready to date him.
   • For example, you might say, “I am very pleased with what you said about your feelings. Sorry, but I can't reciprocate. I really want us to be friends as before. However, if you are against it, I will understand. "
4. 4 Leave your friend alone if you cannot reciprocate. Even if you tell your friend very politely that you don't love him, he will still be in pain. Leave him alone for a while so that he can cope with his feelings and hurt pride.
   • After a couple of weeks, invite a friend to spend time with friends. You should not communicate with him in private, as he may misinterpret your friendly gesture.
5. 5 Go on a date if you feel like you have mutual feelings. Of course, this is the best development of events: your friend tells you about his feelings, and you reciprocate! In this case, you can plan future dates, have fun and share your happiness with all your friends.
   • It's natural to worry about what will happen to your friendship if you fail to build a romantic relationship. Note, however, that it is best to know the truth. It is unlikely that you will be happy with the knowledge that you have missed the chance to develop a romantic relationship with your loved one.
