How To Tell If Someone Likes You Over Text

Do you have a crush? Have you been texting them for some time now? You have a hunch that they may just like you back. But you can’t decide if they have feelings for you, or if they’re just… well... just being nice. This can happen to all of us, texting isn’t as clear as face-to-face contact. Without the social cues of tone and body language to back our observations up, how are you supposed to tell if someone does indeed have strong feelings for you? To help you out, here are some top tips to help you know if someone likes you over text.

“school just isnt fun without a crush”
-my friend

[aubreymmaria]

"They must like you if they send you double texts..."
Me: Realizing I'm the one doing all of these things.

[prk]

My bestie - he like you
My heart - he like you
Whole class- he like you
These video- he like you
Me- no he is just friendly

[ERRA_STARS]

“I wanna ruin our friendship….We should be lovers i dont know how to say this.. but you’re really my dearest friend” Love that little reference to the song!

[jewell-_-]

Golden rule: Never assume unless otherwise stated

[fearedguy]

Guys, stop making me realize how sad my current lovelife is.

[Beanbutmakeitastronaut]

After watching this, I realized I really want my crush to see this so they can clock in on my feelings because I do all of this stuff.

[kalilys]

The fact that I've been watching videos like this makes me realized I'm head over heels for him

[paola-lvor]

Honestly when people text first it means their giving you attention and want to talk to you I love that I feel cared about

[VeNLiiez]

Each video I watch about crushes, just makes me realize how much my crush doesn't like me back.

update: in two weeks, i'll be celebrating my one year anniversary w my gf :*). be patient y'all, they're out there <3

[lyricsparks]

I literally do all these while talking to my crush lol

[SteelKitty]

See- I’m a lesbian so I’m basically playing relationships on hard mode

[osheridan]

"SoOo, you have a crush?"
*The way they said this when they're usually so neutral LMFAO I'M WHEEZING*

Hope I could help!! Have a nice day.😊😊

I've found myself doing things like this more often to subtly tell my crush I like them without putting myself out too far on a limb.

[triventilatoro]

By watching this video I have arrived to the conclusion I am deeply in love with every single living organism I know

[datkid_deku]

Psych2Go: “Based on these signs, does someone like you?”
Me: *laughs in lonely*

[Wishkeirs]

I havent really learned how my mind works in the topic of love and love in itself, but id consider someone as a person i love when any of these signs are present, and when seeing them online makes my day

[tiamelancholyjeoncockity]

This is why I hesitate to text people and being overly nice, people will think I’m flirting with them or like them when I’m just being nice 🗿
