If you notice your crush is looking at you, make eye contact and hold their gaze for a few seconds, then smile and look away. Smiling can actually make you feel happier, so it might be worth it to force a smile even if you aren't having the best day. Having a good sense of humor can make you seem cuter, too.
Facing your eyes, torso, and feet toward a person can make him or her feel cornered. This can be uncomfortable, especially when the interest isn't mutual. Instead, face your body in a slightly different direction so your full attention isn't centered on your crush.
If they're shy, they may have a hard time keeping eye contact with you and will look away often. If they're not shy, your crush will maintain strong eye contact if they really like you. Watch your crush's pupils when they're looking at you—if they dilate, it's a sign that they like you.
Don't stare directly, but keep an eye on the person you like. Wait for that person to look at you. And just as the one you like looks at you, stare back at that person. By doing that, you're now discreetly making it appear like they're the one interested in looking at you, and not the other way around.
Smile and make eye contact when you see the person you like.
This will show that you're confident and self-assured, and it will also show your crush that you noticed them. If you notice your crush is looking at you, make eye contact and hold their gaze for a few seconds, then smile and look away.
If you notice he is making more eye contact with you or you catch a guy staring at you, he is probably attracted to you. He may be enthralled by your good looks and may be fantasizing about kissing you. Perhaps he stares at you and smiles; that could mean he likes you, too.
If he's looking at you intensely without smiling and even looks angry or stern, he could be trying to assert his dominance. In this case, his stare will feel like a challenge—in his mind, the weaker one won't be able to keep eye contact.
How do you know if your crush likes you but is hiding it?
They lean in when you talk
Body language is key. “If someone secretly likes you, they may tilt their head as you speak, which is a sign of engagement,” Dr. Hafeez shares. They'll turn to you when you speak and will keep their body language open.
He constantly rips on you — in a jokey, not mean manner — it's a sure sign that he's hoping you'll be teasing him right back in the near future. “If a man teases or makes fun of you that is a sign that he is completely comfortable around you,” says Flicker.
Smile! The universal gesture of kindness, there is nothing so simple and profoundly effective in winning your crush as a smile. Whenever you see them, make sure to flash them a smile! While it might be hard if you're shy, you should find it gets easier very quickly.
