Passing notes

How can I tell if that dreamy person is into me?

    I find that if they stand outside of my window everynight and kill my family, he likes me :)

    The old adage of ‘actions speak louder than words’ is a good beginning. If they like you then you’ll know it by the way they behave. If they call you and you hang out then that is the first clue. And if they say they like you and don’t pay any attention to you then they are trying to spare your feelings. They really don’t like you and are hoping you’ll just go away. :)

    I think they like you if they only charge fifty instead of the regular price of hundred.

    She gets rid of spiders for me. And protects me from mice.

    Maybe it’s the string of bad relationships, but I see that someone likes me when I’m not charged, I don’t have bruises and after waking up sick and hung over after our date I’m not lying in a icy bath with a note telling me to call 911.

    And I do like getting a stuffed monkey or something kitschy like that.

    If they make alot of eye contact with you, and when you catch them making eye contact they look away, run away, faint, or commit suicide. Talking is the only way your going to get things moving. Don’t wait for them to fly in your window and take your virginity, that takes more seduction skill.

    Unless you meant the Terminator Kama Sutra. Anyway, there’s more useful advice and belaboring the obvious here: http://www.wikihow.com/Category:Crushes

    At strip clubs, I can always tell when the strippers are into me and want to go home with me. They ask me to dance - that’s how I know.

    Well, sometimes somebody can instantly tell if that other person likes them (more times than not, however, it’s just the person wanting to be liked’s obsessiveness).

    If somebody looks at you all the time, and then you make eye contact back with them, if they like you like you like them, they should
    A. Blush and then look away
    or
    B. Just stare you down as if to say “O.o WTF?”

    Not to mention that you can always do that whole “Hey, go talk to that guy for me, or you’re not my best friend anymore” type of thing.

    That or you could alwasy write poetry about them and then have your entire closet full of “momentos” that you’ve “received” from them while your closet repeats their name over and over again. Your choice, though.

    I know they like me when they find a way to follow me on Twitter even if its broken.

    Well, The most important thing is Communication!

    And since 80% of language is body language. There you go…

    Body language!!! Look for it!

    There’s a million tell-tale signs for both sexes.
    Most of them are non-verbal. (Hint hint)

    If they behave differently towards you then they do towards everyone else.

    -When they act goofier or stupider around you than they usually do (this is particularly true for us boys).
    -When they kick the back of your chair all through 7th grade science class. For the ENTIRE. YEAR.
    -When your teachers snicker and whisper when they see the two of you together. Trust me kids, we know before you do.
    -When they are passing notes to their friends, who then all look at YOU right after they read them.
    -Girls, when boys tease you mercilessly. Trust me, it’s really all we’ve got most of the time.
    -When they let you cut in the lunch line. Plus, then they get to check out your butt.

    i have contemplated this question a lot, but i remember the way i found out the guy i liked like me back. i was extremely scared to flat out ask him so i started to subtly flirted with him. i watched his reactions and sure enough he started flirting back. flirting is always a sure fire was to find out if someone is interested in you or not.

    I’m very surprised that no one has mentioned one of the most common kinds of affection-signaling: the mean kind. How do you know if that buxom lass or strapping lad likes you? You know if

    a) He/she makes it a point to be mean to you, *AND*
    b) He/she wants to spend time with you.

    If he/she is just mean without that wanting to spend time with you, he/she just hates you. DO NOT CONFUSE HATE WITH LIKE; they are as different as (1) a cool trade-wind breeze teasing your hair while you watch the Honolulu sunset kiss that beautiful girl’s skin and (2) the icy contortions of a Siberian gale rushing over the gulag, affirming what you’ve always known: there is no escape.

    It’s simple enough to see how mean works. Mean is assertive. Mean gets attention. Mean is provocative. Mean requires a response. Mean is the hand that shakes the snow-globe of love.

    But before you kids run off and beat love into each other, please remember: mean is mean.

    @Mike: excellent advice, particularly the “goofy” thing.

    Another round of possible signs:
    -when both the girl’s and the guy’s friends look at each other significantly when the girl and guy start talking
    -they start telling you more about themselves

    and dammit, I had more, but now I can’t remember them. It’ll come to me in time.

    @Elle:
    Actually, flirting may just mean they’re interested in flirting.

    heh. my current boyfriend and i are both somewhat shy, he more so than me.

    i remember that last summer, we ended up at the same little week long write-a-summer-essay camp from my school. because we were supposed to be researching for our essays, we of course IMed each other nonstop. then, every day, we ate lunch together. Later on in the summer, he invited me to his birthday party.

    the real clincher was when, out of the blue, he called me one day, and we talked for two hours. i dont talk that long to anybody.

    all throughout this magnificent summer, i thought that he might like me, based on his body language, our long, in depth conversations, and the way he talked to me.

    i finally got up the courage to IM him the question, “do you like me?” which he attempted to avoid, but finally answered with: “yes.”

    we’re still dating now, almost a year later.

  22. 22 Bea

    well the person who likes you usually teases you or does everything to be near you..like taking the classes you’re taking or asks your friends about you

  23. 23 clyde

    If she slashes my tires BEFORE we start dating, she’s into me. Otherwise, she just has issues.

  24. 24 Jonathan

    In my experience, it’s a little more complicated than wants to/doesn’t want to be around you. It’s easy to tell between disdain and respect, but harder to differentiate between friendship and attraction.

  25. 25 Fanny

    If they go out of their way to talk to you/spend time with you and seem open with you. For example, I got the feeling my now boyfriend liked me when, even though he lives about an hour from campus, he would hang around after classes with me and annoy his friends by doing so. I got the same feeling when I first met my ex when we literally stayed up all night just walking around and talking.

    Oh, and if its a boy you are wondering about, if he CALLS you, he LIKES you. If its a girl, if she asks “why didn’t you call me?” she likes you. So, boys. If you like a girl: CALL HER. :)

    Body language is definitely the way to go. If someone is always looking at you or glancing away then you know they are interested. Now, this interest could mean they like you or just that they find you intriguing, but at least intriguing is a start.

    Blushing, increased heart rate and breathing when around you can be signs that a person likes you. They could also have just been strenuously exercising or be having an allergic reaction.

    If you watch closely you can see a person’s pupils dilate then they like you or what’s going on. Oh, this doesn’t work so well if it’s dark.

    Flirting is a good hint, but like everything else, it can be misinterpreted. The only surefire way to find out is to ask. Don’t be afraid to admit that you like the person either.

    I once had a girl quote a line from Celine Dion to me “the sun and moon rise in [your] eyes” and I just didn’t get it. I missed out on a good relationship just because I was not curious enough. Sometimes people can be dense. Make it clear and obvious. Be confident and assertive.

    I know when a guy is in to me when he remembers little things and reacts. For Exmaple, I was at work and couldnt watch a baseball game, so my guy out of the blue texts me the score of the game so I wouldnt miss out!

    I can’t meet any single women in Arizona. It has gotten so bad that I’ve stopped looking for signs of interest. Sometimes i won’t even register the girls presence. Maybe this will cause me to bump into a girl and, when she wakes up from the concussion, i can convince her that I’m her boyfriend.

    You could have a drinking party with a group of friends - and if the one you have a crush on says, “Hey we should make out!” and while you’re making out confesses that they’ve liked you for a while, but didn’t want to tell you because they’re bad in relationships, this might be a good sign they like you . . . it happened to me it could happen to you. But I wouldn’t suggest this method of finding out, since it usually doesn’t end well (the night ended splendidly but the “non-relationship” friends with benefits thing went bad).

    A better more direct a clear method I suggest, ask. I know it’s boring but you can get some really interesting responses! :D And you don’t have to ask in person. I’ve asked over email and facebook because I think myself better with written language than verbal communication.

    And if you’re afraid to just ask outright, as I’m sure many are, whether from nerves or self-confidence or bad rejection experiences, the other option is to wait for them to approach you. But keep in mind they might be just as afraid. Also remember the more times YOU ask the better chance you have of someone saying, “yes, I like you too!”

    Sometimes looks and glances especially staring… There may be smiling involved and blushing… You may wind up seeing this person in alot of places… And sometimes they may make fun of you… Ive noticed ALOT of people still do the whole elementary thing, I like you, then punch you in the arm… Of course alot of gay men in denial do that too

  31. 31 Lia

    If she didn’t like me, she wouldn’t talk to me!
