 They love me, they love me not. These iconic lines echo in the fading light of the golden sun as you pluck that pretty rose petal by petal. Being there, done that, right? As time passes you realize that the question whether someone likes you or not is a bit more complicated than the local floor I can handle. Here are five signs that someone is denying their feelings for you. 1. They get jealous easily. Do they sometimes react weirdly over totally normal occurrences? What are your thoughts on the recent Perilla Leaves debate? Which BTS member do you agree with? In any relationship, jealousy can rear its head at some point or other. You might then question why someone who hasn't stated their intentions becomes jealous of you when they see you with other people. It's pretty straightforward. Their jealousy is one of the signs that they are denying their feelings for you. Their own feelings are all over the place at the moment, they can't seem to figure out why they're feeling the way they're feeling. This inner conflict makes it difficult for them to control their emotions or give a name to their feelings. 2. They're flirting but not following through. Do they compliment your appearance, constantly seek your opinion, and are generally pleasant in your presence? Yet, they still haven't asked you out or told you they like you. This could be because they aren't sure how they feel about you or because they're unaware of your feelings. Just when a person likes you, they'll go out of their way and get incredibly flirty and then they don't do anything else. There's a chance they have a crush on you if they compliment you and find excuses to constantly be around you, but they don't want to rush things or just aren't quite sure how to breach the topic with you. In either case, it is an indication that they're hiding their genuine feelings. 3. They give you mixed signals. Were they, oh so sweet to you at lunch today but didn't want to sit next to you on the bus? Perhaps they said they didn't like your outfit but then asked to borrow your jacket. What? If you constantly find yourself being pulled in different directions with them, it's because they keep giving you mixed signs. This hot and cold attitude is more about them than you. They're trying to fight their feelings or maybe you make sense of them. Then it's throwing them off their game. Ouch. It can be tough when you like someone but don't know what to do. So they might be acting very weird. 4. They talk in parables. Do you want to detect whether someone likes you? If yes, then you can keep a check on how they talk about others in their life. Do they stress that they are just friends with the rest of their circle? And the best part is you didn't even ask them about it? Also the person will also inquire about your relationship status in subtle ways. They might inquire about who you hang out with when you want to unwind and have a good time to see if they fit into your life. They might be using such references to gauge your reaction in order to gain insight into your daily life. All the while rallying their forces to take the next step. Maybe. Who knows? 5. The what ifs. Are you having wholesome conversations with them and exploring the potential of a future relationship but suddenly they say that there is no point in talking about it? Are they quick to put a damper on all and any discussions of a future together? This could be a sign that they're denying their feelings for you. They might be harboring an irrational belief that things just won't work out. Their conversations are often punctuated by a pessimistic fear of the future. They think you two might not end up together, which may cloud their judgment of commitment. It can be easy to get lost in translation or read too much between the lines. The insecurity of your reaction towards them or fear of losing a good friend might be some of the many reasons one decides to hold back from expressing their true feelings towards you. If you suspect such is the case, it's always a good idea for you to give them assurance if the feelings are mutual. Please keep in mind that while someone may be denying their feelings for you, if the situation becomes manipulative or toxic, it's important to set boundaries or even ask for help.
