Have you started to suspect you have a thing for a guy but aren't sure at all? Read this article to clarify your ideas.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Pay Attention to What You Think
Step 1. If you think you have a crush, it probably is, especially if you've been looking for articles that will help you understand
Perhaps, however, this possibility does not excite you because it is a long-time friend or a person with whom you know it is impossible to establish a romantic relationship.
Don't worry: having a crush on someone doesn't mean they're your soul mate. It could be a passing fall in love
Step 2. Pay attention to how many times you think about him:
if it happens to you often throughout the day, you probably have a crush:
- Daydreams.
- You think about him before you slip into sleep and, maybe, you dream about him too, but not necessarily in a romantic way.
- You always wonder what he is doing.
- You always wonder what she would think about certain things, like your new dress, the movie you just watched, or the restaurant you ate for lunch today.
- Pay attention to how many times you think about him throughout the day. One? Then you don't like it that much. Once an hour? You're probably addicted to it.
Step 3. Think about your concentration levels
If you can't get anything done, maybe you always think about him.
- You are so distracted that you cannot have a conversation with your friends for more than five minutes.
- You can't read more than a paragraph without thinking about him.
- You start thinking about him while watching a movie or show.
- You can't concentrate and take notes in class, maybe write his name in the notebook.
Step 4. Think about whether this has happened to you in the past
Crushes are not all the same, but if you have already experienced these sensations, you will be able to recognize the principle of falling in love.
- If this has happened to you before, what kind of thoughts did you have? If you have the same thoughts on this guy, you probably have a crush.
- Try to remember your way of dealing with crushes. If in the past you have also happened to deny the first phase of a falling in love, then it may be that it is happening to you again.
- If you've never had a crush, then it's going to be hard to make comparisons. If so, maybe you are in love but you just can't figure it out!
Method 2 of 3: Pay attention to how you feel
Step 1. Are you excited at the thought of seeing him and does this feeling grow after spending time with him?
You have a crush. If this guy makes you feel relaxed and you feel comfortable around him, maybe you just consider him a friend.
- If you feel agitated (your hands are shaking, you can't stop talking or gesturing, and your energy level is higher than usual) when you are with him, then you have a crush.
- Do you laugh at everything he says, even if he doesn't make jokes? If you like a guy, you find his every word hilarious.
- If you can't sleep at night because you think about him or relive your conversations, you have a crush.
- If your heart beats wildly when he greets you, texts you, starts chatting to you or says your name, you have a crush.
Step 2. Are you nervous?
If this guy likes you, you probably don't feel comfortable being together because you care what he thinks about you and you don't want to say the wrong thing.
- If your hands, knees and voice shake when you are with him, then he makes you nervous.
- If you stammer when you talk to him or lock yourself up in your shell because you can't even think of a meaningful sentence, then you have a crush.
- If you're nervous enough to bump into furniture and drop everything when you're with him, you have a crush on him.
- Ditto if you always feel embarrassed with him and blush all the time.
Step 3. How do you feel when he is with other girls?
If he goes out and talks to the others and you feel jealous, then you like him.
- If you cringe at the thought of his date with another girl, you have a crush on him.
- However, remember that if one day you get together, you should learn how to manage jealousy.
- If he's engaged, you think he's great with his girlfriend and you're happy for him, then you probably don't have a crush.
Method 3 of 3: Pay Attention to What You Do
Step 1. Think about what you say to him and what you say about him:
- If you always tease him and touch him, then you like him.
- If you talk very fast when you are with him, you probably have a crush.
- If you measure your words so as not to look bad in front of him, then you have a crush.
- Ditto if you can't not talk to your friends about him for more than 10 minutes.
Step 2. Think about how you behave
You can tell if you have a crush on him based on how you act around him and what your attitude is when you are with other people:
- If you do something you don't like just to get him noticed, then this guy interests you. For example, if you have never been a fan of soccer and now you go to all the games in your school because you know he will be in the audience, you probably have a crush.
- If you want to always be close to him when you go out with other friends and try to touch him, you like him.
- Ditto if jealousy attacks you when he flirts with the others.
- If you feel sad when you go to a party hoping to meet him and he doesn't show up, then you have a crush.
Step 3. Do you pay more attention to your appearance?
If you spend more time in front of the mirror because you know you will see it, this cannot be a coincidence!
- You try harder than usual to look your best when you have to go out with him. If you wear your best suit, fix your hair and do more makeup than usual, then you have a crush.
- If you find yourself experimenting with new tricks and jewelry to get noticed, you like him.
- If you know you won't see it, you don't take care of your look. This is also a good indicator of whether you have a crush.
Step 4. Be aware of the changes in your personality
Let's assume this guy is athletic, the classic type of guy. You may find yourself playing basketball or football or maybe you buy a pair of Nike shoes, thinking that this way you will attract their interest in you. If you want to get his interest, it basically means that you are infatuated with him and that you would do almost anything for him.
