7 Concrete Signs Your Secret Crush Feels The Same Way

You shouldn’t be scared to ask out your crush because there’s a chance they feel the same way. There’s a chance they’ve been waiting on you to make a move because they’re worried about getting rejected too. Here are some signs your crush feels the same way:

They put as much effort into maintaining the relationship as you do.

You aren’t the only one sending the first text or keeping the conversation going. They are contributing the same amount as you are because they’re invested in the relationship too. They want to talk to you as badly as you want to talk to them. You never feel like you’re bothering them because they make it clear that they’re happy to hear from you every time.

You keep sharing intimate little moments.

Maybe you haven’t held hands or shared your first kiss yet, but you’ve had other intimate moments. You’ve made intense eye contact more than once. You’ve sat with your arms or your legs touching and haven’t moved away. You’ve shared little moments that feel significant, moments that are hard to explain in words but have proved there’s some intense chemistry between you.

They jump at every opportunity to hang out with you.

Even though there might be days when they’re busy and can’t fit you into their schedule, they are always excited about the chance to hang out with you. And if you suggest a day that doesn’t work for them, they suggest a new day that will work instead of vaguely promising that they’ll see you soon. They put actual effort into making sure you are a frequent part of their life.

They remember the little things you tell them.

They clearly pay attention when you speak because they’re always bringing up things you mentioned in your previous conversations. They remember your favorite things. They remember to check in with you when you’re stressed about something big. They remember to ask you how important events have gone. They remember things you didn’t even remember sharing with them.

They get as close to you as physically possible.

Whenever they walk into a room, they gravitate toward you. If they have the chance, they sit closest to you instead of anywhere else in the room. They want to be close to you, physically and emotionally.

They take any excuse they can to touch you.

They compare hand sizes with you. They play-fight with you. They tickle you. They linger when they’re hugging you hello and goodbye. They always want to be touching you in some way — but they don’t act like this with anyone else. You seem to be the exception.

They are always giving you compliments.

They like your photos on social media. They notice when you wear your hair a new way or show up in a new outfit. They tell you all the little things they love about you — and this goes beyond your physical appearance. They compliment your eyes, but also your laugh and your sense of humor.
