he/she is crushing on YOU. 5:05 AM

It’s natural to want to rush things, but anyone wondering whether a person has developed a crush on her would be wise to take it slow. A few weeks of careful observation is bound to tell a lot.

Body Language and Non-Verbal Cues That Reveal a Crush

Probably the easiest way for someone to gauge whether a person has a crush on her is to keep track of how often that person glances in her direction. It’s only natural. People have a hard time looking away from something that interests them, and a crush is positively fascinating. Anyone in doubt can keep tabs on how often that person’s gaze settles on her especially when she's in a group. If she's commonly being singled out of a crowd, it’s likely she's the target of an attraction.

If the someone in question is outgoing, then that person will most likely reveal a crush by smiling, teasing, cracking jokes, or flirting. These are all popular ways people try to impress or break the ice with a person who interests them. They might even use physical cues to hint at their interest such as pats on the shoulder, high fives, or friendly hugs.

If the someone in question is shy, he might unwittingly reveal an interest with telltale signs like blushing or stammering.
Since most infatuation comes on fast and furious, people are likely to notice changes in a new crush’s behavior toward them. If someone is suddenly very eager to spend time around him, is “accidentally” running into him in unexpected places, or focusing a lot more time trying to get his attention, chances are, that person has developed an interest in him.
