Signs Someone's Hiding Their Feelings For You

When feelings are not always obvious, it can be difficult to determine whether somebody has romantic feelings for you.

Knowing the subtle differences can save you the dreaded embarrassment. So how do you know when people are hiding their feelings?

If the answer to is yes, then it appears that there is already a foundational relationship that has been established. The best indicator of attention, love or attraction is how a person behaves around you. What they do and how they act tells you everything you need to know about them. Look at things with your eyes instead of just your heart- this is why tone.

If someone is attracted to you, their body language will most likely be relaxed and open around you.

The next time you're with the person in question, note how often they look at you, Harvard Psychologist, Zick Rubin found a correlation between eye contact and love. In his study couples deeply in love looked at one another 75% of the time while talking, while other people engaged in conversation, only looked at each other about 30 to 60% of the time.

If this person is trying to make an impression of being friendly and caring, it's a good indication that they care about your feelings. So it's important to try and figure out if they are putting in a lot of effort. This could be a sign that they're into you.

There are four ways someone could show they care for you: by texting or calling you after you spend time together, asking your friends about you, and offering to help without asking first.

People may be too curious about you, asking you personal questions about yourself and your life. Do you find them wanting to know more about you? People may be trying to get to know you better, by hiding their true feelings behind their burning curiosity. This might be a way for them to communicate in your language and talk about the things that are important to you. Asking you lots of questions essentially encourages free conversations with the person, in order to learn more about them.

People may offer you compliments for a number of reasons. Do they compliment your looks, clothing, style, taste, and music? Do compliments always mean something? Pay close attention to how a person communicates with you in order to determine whether or not they like you. It's important to remember that just because somebody compliments you doesn't mean that they are interested in you romantically.

It doesn't mean that if somebody doesn't compliment you that they don't like you. Some people just don't know how to compliment and might not feel comfortable doing so. However, if you notice that they may be complimenting you too excessively, this may be a sign that a person is interested in you because they want you to feel good. This person wants you to like them, and give them the validation that they crave. The person in question may be investing in you, and wants you to feel secure and comfortable around them.

People will act differently around you than they do with other people. You may even notice that their energy levels will go up when they're around you. Dating expert Matthew Hussey states that people will stumble over their words or become tense or nervous when you show up.

Behaving in a way that attracts your attention could be a sign that someone secretly likes you. Be aware of the way this person communicates with you and whether you feel they're trying to impress you. Is the only person they do this to? If so, then it may be an indication that they have high ego or are interested in developing a romantic relationship with you.

People often find excuses to spend time alone with you, whether it's asking to make plans with you where it's just the two of you, or agreeing to everyday adventures with just the two of you.
