If someone is very nice to us, I want to believe that we also make an indelible impression on him. But is it really so? Are we wishful thinking? Here are some sure signs that will help you understand that a potential partner is also into you.
1. Once next to you, he begins to behave differently.
Our love is betrayed by gestures. When falling in love, a person usually touches his hair (ruffles, twists curls in his fingers), looks down and is visibly nervous – because he thinks words and actions too hard. We have noticed these signs more than once in the heroes of romantic comedies, often in an exaggerated form, because this is really the behavior characteristic of a person in love.
So, if it seems to you that in your presence he or she begins to behave awkwardly, awkwardly, speaks unnaturally loudly or, on the contrary, is embarrassedly silent – most likely, it does not seem to you, this is the case. If a person does not look like himself, pay attention to this.
The writer, author of the cult novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude” Gabriel Garcia Márquez is credited with the quote: “To the whole world you can be just a person, but to one person you can be the whole world.” Perhaps for the two of you, this is just the case.
2. He can’t help but smile
The person next to you smiles sincerely (not to be confused with an ironic or condescending smile), should you open your mouth and say anything? You can be sure that he is not indifferent to you. Or at least he enjoys your company tremendously – so big that it is difficult to restrain emotions.
Of course, he or she may just enjoy your conversations together, but most likely there is something more behind this. The Roman philosopher Epictetus is credited with saying: “The secret is to associate only with those who uplift you, whose presence appeals to the best in you.” Perhaps for the interlocutor you are just such a person. But if he or she has a hard time holding back a happy smile, the interest in you is likely romantic.
So, if you want to know if someone else likes you, try to pay attention to his facial expressions when you spend time together. It’s natural to smile when you’re around someone who makes us happy. As Marilyn Monroe said: “Beauty only attracts attention, the soul captivates the heart.”
How can this knowledge help? At a minimum, realizing that most likely she or he likes you, you can feel more calm and relaxed in his company and stop worrying about whether he will reject you. Or maybe even take the first step towards a new relationship.
