13 signs your crush likes you but is

trying not to show it

we all know how frustrating it can be

when you have a crush on someone but you

are unsure if they like you back or not

it can be even more difficult if that

person tries to hide their feelings for

you and gives you mixed signals

you might think that they're just being

nice or maybe they don't like you as

much as you like them

but what if there's a way to tell if

your crush likes you but is trying not

to show it

according to psychology there are some

signs that indicate whether or not

someone likes you secretly

and even if they are good at hiding it

you'll be able to tell

by understanding these 13 signs it will

be easier for you to figure out how he

or she feels about you and makes sure

that their feelings are mutual before

making any moves on them

so make sure to watch this video to the

end let's start

number one you catch them staring at you

the first obvious sign that your crush

likes you is when you catch them staring

at you especially when you make eye

contact with them

he or she might think that catching your

eye means they have to look away but if

they keep staring at you even after a

few seconds and turn away it's a sign

that they like you according to studies

when someone likes you they can't take

their eyes off of you

they will stare at you for longer than

usual and won't feel awkward about it

if your crush is trying to hide their

feelings for you they'll try not to look

in your direction too much number two

they play hard to get

if you feel like your crush is playing

hard to get it might mean that they're

trying to distract you from their true

feelings

playing hard to get is an unconscious

way for them to hide their feelings

especially if they are shy or want more

attention from you

for example if your crush seems like

they're trying to avoid you from time to

time or keep their distance when they

see you it's a sign that they like you

but are trying not to show it

however if they try to avoid you all the

time and even push you away

it could also mean that they don't like

you at all

so be very careful and never chase your

crush

it's important to make sure that their

feelings are mutual before making any

moves on them or getting your hopes up

number three

they talk about you

studies have shown that when someone

likes you they will start talking about

you more often to others

they're very curious about you and want

their friends opinions on you because

they are excited that there might be a

chance that they might get to spend time

with you

and subconsciously the only way for them

to talk about you is by creating all

kinds of scenarios in their head

for example if you hear from others that

your crush has mentioned you in a

conversation when they talk to other

people it's a good sign that they are

into you

they will be very interested in what

others have to say and will ask them

different questions about you in an

indirect way

number four they defend you

a person who likes you will defend you

even if they've never met you before and

would normally not care about what

people think of them

when someone is very defensive of your

actions it means that they feel

threatened by someone else's opinion or

words towards you

this can be a sign that they like you

but are trying to hide it from you

they might try to change the subject or

even stop talking about it because

they're afraid of what others will think

if they reveal their true feelings

if you feel that your crush is acting

this way around you it can be a good

sign that they like you without even

knowing it

number five

they get nervous around you

one of the biggest signs that your crush

likes you is when they get nervous

around you

the butterflies in their stomach and

being touchy can be very subtle at first

but as time passes by it will become

more noticeable

they will have an unsure tone in their

voice and find different ways to talk to

you even though the situation doesn't

require it

and as time passes by you'll notice that

they always find a way to keep the

conversation going and never run out of

things to say

according to psychology when someone is

nervous around you they are most likely

trying to impress you

and it means that they care about what

you think of them

for example you can watch out for sweaty

palms and a shaky tone of voice

if this happens every time you're in the

same room together it's a sign that they

like you but are trying to hide it

number six

they follow and engage with you on

social media

if your crush likes you they will find

ways to get in touch with you on social

media

even if it's just by liking the pictures

of yours that they see on instagram or

retweeting one of your tweets

however this is not always true because

some people can get carried away with

how public their feelings are and

accidentally expose them online

for example they might post comments and

reactions to almost everything you post

online

it can be a really small comment like so

cute or something as simple as a heart

emoji

this is very normal behavior because

everyone has their own unique ways of

showing how they feel about someone

but if it's rather excessive then it

could also mean that they're trying too

hard to show you that they like you

number seven

they find excuses to be around you

another sign that the person you like

might also have feelings for you is when

they create different excuses to be

around you even if it's in a group

setting

for example after school or work they

will volunteer to do an extra activity

with your group of friends or make up an

excuse

about why they can't stay at this

specific event without you

they might want to spend time with you

because they like the idea of us even if

it's not real yet

they can be very friendly at first until

they feel more comfortable around you

and start acting more flirty which is

when you will realize that their

feelings are actually directed towards

you number eight they smile when they

see you

if you see your crush smiling right when

they see you it means that they like you

a person who has no feelings for you

will act quite differently when they

look at your face

another sign is when their eyes widen

and they get really excited about

talking with you or being around you in

general

they can keep smiling even after they

notice that you're looking at them and

that is because they want you to notice

it

if this happens on more than one

occasion then it's most likely true that

your crush likes you too but is trying

their best not to show it

number nine they text you first

if they like you then when text

messaging they will typically start the

conversation

they might not be that creative with

their message but in most cases it's

because they don't know what to say so

they will just keep it simple and

straightforward

but if this happens more than once then

you should take it as a clear sign that

your crush likes you

one way to tell if they do is that they

will send you funny witty or flirty text

messages throughout the day no matter

what time of day it is

if you notice that your crush sends

flirty texts at awkward hours it might

mean that they are trying to impress you

and get themselves out there number 10

they try to keep the conversation going

studies have shown that people who are

trying to make a good impression on

someone they like will try their best

not to let the conversation die down

they will ask you questions about

yourself make funny jokes at times but

most importantly they won't stop talking

until you do

if this happens more than once around

your crush then it's safe to say that

they like you but are trying really hard

to push their feelings under the rub

sometimes this can be a way of them

showing that they are interested in you

romantically which is why if your crush

asks about your life or gets into deep

conversations chances are they might

have deeper feelings towards you

number 11.

they get secretly jealous

this can be a really difficult sign for

many people to notice because it's not

always in the open

some people are shy so even when they're

feeling jealous they won't show it

their facial expression might change

when someone else gets too close to you

or starts flirting with you

if this happens around your crush then

that is most likely a sign that they

have feelings for you

only time will tell if this is actually

true or not but one way to find out is

by flirting with someone else just to

get a reaction from your crush

if their jealousy starts to increase and

you see that they are trying to change

the subject or getting annoyed

then it's probably because they have

feelings for you

number 12.

they try to get your attention

if you notice that your crush keeps

getting the attention of everyone around

you then this is usually a sign that

they like you

if someone has no feelings for you they

won't try to get your attention because

they're too shy or afraid of rejection

however if it happens more than once

with your crush then it's probably true

that they like you but are just really

bad at showing it

one way to find out is when they make a

joke and everyone laughs

if they notice you looking at them while

they are talking with someone else

chances are they will try to make you

laugh in some way or another to get your

attention

number 13.

they send you mixed signals

sending mixed signals is another way to

tell if your crush likes you

if they play hard to get and pretend

like they don't care about you while at

other times they are flirting with you

or trying to do nice things for you then

it's most likely that they are into you

the reason why people send mixed signals

is because they are too scared to show

their feelings so what it really means

when someone is hot and cold is that

they like you and want your attention

but don't know how to show it to learn
