It can be quite difficult to tell whether someone likes you or not, especially if it’s not obvious. But there are little signs that can help you discover the truth.

One of the most frustrating things in life is not being able to decipher whether someone likes you, or if they’re simply being nice. Many people give out mixed signals or radiate confusing vibes.

For instance, the way people smile or lift an eyebrow may make you think they’re flirting. But it may just be quirky expressions of their playful character.

But there will be signs when someone likes you but is hiding it!

First of all, you cannot read people’s minds. But you can read little movements and “read between the lines” so to speak. Even though they may be good at hiding their feelings, there are little indicators present in body language and other signs.

If someone likes you and tries to hide it, eventually you will be able to tell. Here are a few signs that someone may indeed secretly have feelings for you.

1. Constant smiling

While smiling isn’t always an indicator that someone has special feelings for you, constantly grinning may be a sign. If someone likes you but tries to hide it, they will still give themselves away with their incessant grinning. They may actually react more to things you do by giggling.

And while some are overly bubbly, this excess of smiling and laughing usually means something more.

2. They’re fidgety

When someone likes you but is trying to hide it, you might notice this person fidgeting with their clothing or playing with their hair. They may be nervous around you, which causes them to seek self-soothing mechanisms. They may tap their feet or bite their lip as well.

While some individuals naturally react this way to others, most people who feel nervous around someone they like will display more noticeable fidgeting behaviors.

3. Laughing at all your jokes

Have you ever told a terrible joke and only one person laughed at you? Well, it could be that they were trying to humor you, or they have a crush on you. Most of the time when someone likes you, they laugh at all your jokes, even the ones that aren’t funny. They think everything you do is entertaining because they’re attracted to you.

4. They show jealousy

Jealousy is not always easy to spot, especially when someone secretly likes you. In fact, they will try twice as hard to cover it up. This is because, in most cases, they have no idea if you reciprocate these feelings.

This form of jealousy is noticeable when you talk lovingly about someone else. Most of the time, they will either say something negative about the subject of your conversation or they will quickly attempt to change the subject. Talking about someone else hurts them and makes them feel insecure.

5. They notice and remember things

If someone likes you, they may be more attentive to little details about you. They’ll remember your favorite colors and the foods you hate. They will remember your birthday and the exact time and date when you met. They’re infatuated with you.

So, if you’re wondering if someone likes you but is hiding it, just take note of all the things they remember and notice about your life.

6. They share personal information

If someone likes you, they will overshare. They will also seek your opinion about major changes. If they’re thinking about changing jobs because of negative things going on at work, they’ll confide in you about the situation. And they will completely trust your judgement.

You are the first person that comes to their mind when they wish to vent about things, or even share good news.

7. Find reasons to be around you

If someone likes you, they’ll find ways to be around you. Even if they live far away, if they have feelings for you, they may even seek activities in your area. But be careful, some of these indicators may indicate stalking.

There is a limit to what a person should tolerate from another, even if they’re an admirer. This will depend on whether the feelings are mutual or not. These actions may seem sweet if you like them too, but they can be scary if you don’t. It’s strange how that works, so think it through carefully.

8. They mirror you

As the saying goes,

“Imitation is the highest form of flattery.”

Oscar Wilde

You may notice that someone in your circle is mirroring your body language. But don’t be alarmed, they may not even notice that they’re doing this. They may simply admire you and their body language is revealing their true feelings.

If you cross your arms, they may do the same. If you laugh, it may cause them to smile or laugh. They may have special feelings for you and simply trying to hide it.

Do you think someone secretly likes you?

If you think you may have a secret admirer and they are right in front of you, just consider these signs. Is this true? Could it be that the mysterious person who copies your movements simply likes you more than you know? Or is the individual who laughs at all your jokes carrying a secret torch for you? Maybe so!

Consider these signs and ask yourself if you indeed have an admirer. Do you feel the same way? Hope these signs and indicators helped you to discover the truth.
