Some people are better at hiding their feelings than others. But when somebody close to you starts acting a little shy and maybe even flirty when you’re around, it can leave you wondering, “What’s going on? How do they actually feel about me?” Are they just being friendly, or are they secretly crushing? We’ll go through the top six subtle hints that someone might be hiding deeper feelings for you.
# They are always there to support you. Is this person the friend you turn to when you need a morale boost? When you need a shoulder to cry on, they’re right there. When you need a ride to the airport at 5 AM, they show up with coffee. Emotional support is a key part of friendship, but it’s also the secret building block to deep romantic connection.[13] When you two already have a close bond, there’s definitely a potential they might have developed deeper feelings. When someone says “I’m here for you,” it’s their way of saying that they want to be part of your life. If someone close to you seems especially protective of you, they might have deeper feelings.
# They text you often and regularly check in on social media. Even when you’re not together, they’ll want to stay in touch. When it comes to texting, they might have a lighting-fast response time. After all, you’re one of the most important people in their life. They might hang around your social media page, quickly like your posts, and leave comments. On the flip side, if they’re really shy, you might notice that they view all your stories, but never like or comment on your posts..Look at the timing of their texts, too. “Good morning” and “good night” texts show romantic interest since you’re probably the first and last person on their mind.
# They get jealous of other people in your life.
A little jealousy is normal when someone feels a strong connection with you. Check if they seem to shut down or get upset when you hang out with other people or bring up potential love interests.Here are a couple more signs of jealousy:.They might be overly critical about other romantic interests in your life or avoid asking you about your love life altogether..They’ll have trouble being happy or supportive of you when you’re romantically seeing other people. They’ll act bummed out in front of you and your romantic partner, but they’ll act normal once your partner leaves.
# They focus on you, even in group settings.
Someone who’s hiding their feelings will gravitate towards you. They might take a seat right next to you or stand close to you in a crowd. If they’re feeling bold, they might pull you away from a group to talk to you privately. Notice if they pay attention to what you’re saying more than they tune into other conversations. When someone who likes you pops up nearby, they’ll usually try to start a conversation with you or catch your eye to make sure you know they’re around. If they don’t try to announce their presence in some subtle way, it might be a coincidence that you two keep winding up close to each other.
# They want to spend one-on-one time with you. Wanting “alone time” with you is a good sign someone has romantic feelings. They’ll plan activities with just the two of you and those activities might feel suspiciously like fun date ideas. If you suggest a group activity instead, they might even seem a little disappointed. A person hiding their feelings will try and spend as much time with you as possible. For instance, if you plan to go on a hike together, they might suggest grabbing coffee afterwards to extend the amount of time they get with you..They’ll tend to make time for you, no matter how busy they are.
# They act distant sometimes. Someone with hidden feelings might act hot and cold with you. One minute, they might want to stay up all night texting you, and the next, they don’t seem to want to hang out at all. If someone’s not sure whether you have feelings for them, they might distance themselves to avoid getting hurt. If you have feelings for this person and think they might feel the same way, let them know! You can say something like, “Hey, I have feelings for you, and I’m curious if you feel the same way.” If you’re not interested in being with them, be careful not to lead them on. Give them space and time to work through their feelings
