How do I get my crush's attention without being obvious?
Make subtle gestures
Even the most discreet expression can grab your crush's attention. Compliment their outfit, or smile and say hi when you pass them in the hall. After school, keep things flirty over text or Snapchat.
“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. “Their legs will be crossed in your direction and their arms won't be folded with 'closed' body language,” she adds.
There are five components to attraction and developing a crush: physical attractiveness, proximity, similarity, reciprocity, and familiarity. We are often drawn to people who are similar to us as well as people who remind us of loved ones whether that be parents, past partners, or friends.
Men don't express their feelings through words, they express them through their actions. A strong sign that a guy has a crush on you is if he's constantly helping you out with stuff. You won't even need to ask, if you mention in passing that your light bulb needs changing, he'll say he's coming over to do it.
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.
Keep an eye out for tripping or other clumsy behavior.
If he drops his books or knocks something off if his desk when you walk by, he may like you. Think about how you act when you get close to your crush. Chances are, this guy experiences really similar feelings when he's around someone (maybe you!) that he likes.
Lean forward and put your two arms around your crush, pressing the person you are hugging warmly toward you. If you are taller, the shorter person's arms should be around your neck, and you should embrace them around the waist. Keep them in that position for no more than a couple seconds, and let go as soon as they do.
Another clear sign he likes you is if he is actively trying to hang out with you, or help you, or find out more about you. There are also indicators like eye contact or compliments, and showing that he's interested in your physical appearance, or who you are as a person.
If you're wondering, “does he like me or not?” make sure to observe his actions. If he doesn't tell you he's attracted to you, you can tell by his body language and how his eyes move around. He might give you intense eye contact and look at your chest or check you out when you're across the room.
If his gaze keeps slipping down to your lips while he's talking to you, it's a sign that he is admiring you, fantasising about you and might even want to start a stable, long-term relationship with you," says Madan.
When you're talking to your crush, listen if they say anything that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. If your crush frequently gives you compliments, then there's a good chance they know you like them and they're interested in you too. Try giving the person a few compliments to make them feel good as well.
