# They can’t stop texting you!

A clear sign your friend might be crushing on you is a sudden influx of texts. Have they started texting you multiple times throughout the day, just to catch up? Do you often wake up to their messages or receive texts wishing you goodnight? Do they text you even when they're out with their own friends?

If your friend can't stop thinking about you and reaches out even when they're busy having fun, it's a strong indication that you're on their mind a lot!

# They seem to have discovered styling products

One of the easiest signs your friend is crushing on you is if they suddenly start making a big effort with their appearance, especially when they know you'll be around. Check their social media for pictures taken when you weren't around. Have they made the same effort? If not, it could be a clue they're trying to impress you.

# They always have their eyes on you

Noticed your friend staring at you often? This is a clear sign of a crush, unless you have food on your face! You might also notice that whenever you catch them looking, they quickly look away. This embarrassed look-away suggests they see you as more than just a friend.

# They could stop traffic with their face

Have you noticed your friend blushing when they talk to you? Do they often go red-faced when spending time with you or when you're mentioned? If so, it's a strong sign they have a crush on you. Why else would they be so bashful?

# They have suddenly become a world-class comedian

Has your friend started teasing you more? Do they make fun of your silly mistakes without hurting your feelings? This is a common sign of attraction and suggests they might have a crush on you.

# They avoid you in public

Has your friend started keeping their distance when you're out with others, but act overly friendly and flirty when you're alone? This could mean they don't want others to know they have a crush on you.

# They treat your love life like a celebrity magazine

Has your friend suddenly taken a keen interest in your love life? Do they want to know everything, like who you like and who likes you? Do they show signs of jealousy when you talk about someone you like? If yes, it's a strong sign they have a crush on you.

# They could win a game of don't blink

Does your friend make more eye contact than usual? Do they listen intently to you without breaking their gaze? Do they try to make eye contact from across the room? If yes, they likely really like you.

# They have turned into your mirror

Have you noticed your friend mirroring your body language? Imitation is a common sign of attraction. If your friend has started mirroring your behavior or words, they might be attracted to you.

# They like to introduce you to new things

When people are attracted to someone, they often want to share details about their life. If your friend has started sharing more about their life with you, it could indicate they want to be closer friends or something more.

# They like to surprise you

Does your friend surprise you with little treats? Do they stop by your favorite pastry shop to pick something up for you? Do they recommend songs and books they think you'll like? If they go out of their way to please you, there's likely a reason behind it—a crush!

# They are available whenever you are

Does your friend show up to everything you invite them to? Do they support you or stand by you even when there's no need? If they have a crush on you, they'll want to spend as much time as possible with you and will make time to attend anything you arrange.

# They speak highly about you to their friends

Have you met any of their friends? Do they seem to know a lot about you and like you right away? If yes, it could be because your friend has been talking about you—a sign they have a crush on you. They wouldn't talk about you unless you were on their mind.
