 Do you have a friend who treats you like a friend, but you want them to not treat you like a friend, a.k.a. you've got a crush on them? Oh boy, where do we begin with this one? So you like them, but don't know if they're treating you like a friend or as someone who's crushing on you, just as much as you're crushing on them. How can you tell the difference between a friendly hangout vs a shy attempt at flirting? Some people don't flirt, so how can you tell? Well, here are a few signs they're treating you like a friend and a few signs they're treating you like they're crush. 1. They don't try to be near you vs they do. Does your friend try to be physically near you often? Do they remove any physical barriers in your way, such as a couch pillow or purse, to be closer to you? Do they scoot down the couch towards you when someone leaves? These are all signs they like you. If you notice your friend often keeps their distance, but is still friendly, it could be that they want to be friends. 2. They make eye contact during conversation vs from afar. Does your friend make good eye contact when you're talking? Friends usually do. Not only out of politeness, but because they like you as a friend too, and generally want to focus on what you're saying. But do you also catch them staring at you from afar? Maybe they even give a subtle, flirty smile or a blush and look away? This is a common sign someone likes you. Unless their eye contact is friendly or humorous, then it could be them hinting that they like you a bit more than friends do. 3. Their compliments are sweet vs their compliments are flirty. Very serious. Does your friend compliment you? What a great pal. Or could they be more than that? Notice how they give you the compliment. Is it said in a friendly tone, with a happy smile? Or are they blushing or perhaps serious? Maybe they're flirty when they say it. Unless you two have some sort of private joke, this could be a sign that they've developed romantic feelings for you. Also pay attention to the type of compliment. Is it something someone would hear from a friend? Casually they say nice outfit, or do they say your eyes are stunning? Very strong. But maybe they're trying to hint that they like you. 4. They dress their best, often around you, vs they always dress casual around you. How do they dress around you, especially when you hang out alone? A lot of people don't dress up around their crush. But they may be more inclined to look their best if they know they're going to be alone with the person they like, at an event or other social setting. Do you notice they dress differently around you only? Do their clothes look neatly ironed? No cheeto stains to be found. Or do they look like a grease ball, or cheeto puff? While everyone's different, if you notice they've dressed nicely for their crushes before but never for you, it could be because they see you as a friend only. On a side note, cheeto puffs. Here, am I right? 5. They talk about their crushes with you, vs they seem annoyed when you talk about your crush. Does your friend talk about their crushes with you? When people like someone they generally don't often want to bring up someone else, they've found attractive. People often want to let their crush know that they're the one they're attracted to, and not someone else. So if your friend is bringing up their crush often, saying their name pointing them out, it's likely not you. On the other hand, when you bring up your celebrity crush or past crushes, do they seem annoyed or jealous? Hmmm, I think we're on to something here. Do they blush and never reveal who their crush is when you ask? Hmmm, secret revealed, well kinda. Not really. We're working on it. 6. They don't try to be alone with you vs they often try to be alone with you. How often are you and your crush alone together? If someone really has a crush on someone, they may try to be alone with them more often. They'll be happy around you, and may even be trying to talk to you alone to hint to you that they like you. Friends often hang out with friends alone though, so try to look out for previous signs that they like you romantically. And if you notice they don't often try to be alone with you and even quickly leave if you two happen to be alone together, it's likely they just view you as a friend. Some people thrive in group conversations with their friends. So are they treating you like a friend or a crush? Let us know in the comments section below. If they have many of these signs, it could be that they have a crush on you. Do you have a crush on them? Time to reveal your feelings.
