When you become closer with someone, it usually means they like you - but not always as a potential partner.
People can like someone but still just want to be friends with them, but there are some signs that can help you understand their true feelings.
Here are some of them.
Observation of behavior
Do they go out of their way to spend time with you, engage in meaningful conversations, or show physical affection beyond what is typical for friends?
These actions may suggest a romantic interest.
Verbal communication
They might drop hints or make comments that suggest they have deeper feelings for you.
They may use terms of endearment or express a desire for a closer relationship.
Body language
Signs of romantic interest may include increased eye contact, leaning in closer when talking, playful touches, or blushing.
Personal disclosure
If someone shares personal details, dreams, or future plans with you, it may indicate a desire to develop a deeper connection.
They might confide in you about their romantic interests or seek your opinion on matters related to relationships.
Social context
If they introduce you as a close friend or make efforts to keep your interactions private, it may indicate they view you in a romantic light.
Similarly, if they express jealousy or discomfort when you talk about other potential romantic interests, it could suggest deeper feelings.
