Do They Like You? Or Are They Just Being Nice/Polite?

Ever wonder if someone likes you? Or are they just being polite? Sometimes it can be difficult to tell. There are a lot of people who flirt subtly, or don’t flirt at all even though they like the person they’re talking to. So, how can you tell if someone is just being nice and friendly - viewing you as a friend - or if they have romantic feelings for you? Here are a few signs to help you decide if they like you, or are just being nice.

It's easy to mistake a friendly introvert for 'I think they may possibly a crush on me.' If they treat you the same as everyone else, they may be just a super friendly person.

I'm so love deprived, that whenever a person treats me nicely, I immediatly fall in love with them and it sucks.

If they don't ask you out, don't read too much into it. Some people are just overly friendly while others are incredibly touched by the smallest gestures…

I'm absolutely positive that no one likes me romantically now. Just as well though, I don't think I come off as more than clingy and/or self-centered at times. Besides, I don't want to hurt anybody if I did get into a relationship.

[weonadomicilio]

there's a bunch of people that are scared to just show their interest. And when they feel things are getting to intimate, they make a step backward (not literally, like avoiding a question, changing the subject or calling a friend)

I'm 30, was always rejected and never asked out (and I'm from Italy, which means even extremely introverted guys do end up asking the girl out first). The worst part is that they're afraid I might be interested in them if they're nice and tell me CONSTANTLY how they don't mean anything and hope I won't misunderstand their politeness for interest. Thanks a lot! What am I supposed to say? I didn't even have the time to START developing feelings for you, calm down!

I have been married for 9 years and I still like when my husband teases me when we are with his family.😄

[gerarddasilva]

So I don't tell people about my crush because I am afraid of being judged and I have always been raised in a family where we are not allowed to make mistakes. In a way in her eyes I am only nice. I wish I could talk about her but the I'm afraid too.

Just realized nobody likes me and I'm in the friendzone. THANK YOU🙏

I was waiting for a Komi Cant Communicate Reference so thanks for that and the informative video!

The cuteness of this animation was on another level 😍 and also really helpful, not only to know if my crush likes me or not, but I also know how to act better near them. Also your voice is so calm and peaceful 😊

[iamgoddessoflove]

If someone truly wants you, they will show it through actions, how effective their communication is, their vibe, body language and how they treat you. If you have to constantly ask yourself if someone is into you or not, they act hot and cold towards you, then most likely, they're not!

3:40 It's important to remember that some people are bad at talking tot heir crush. I often talk to my crushes while on my phone and glance up occasionally, and try to look busy so I don't freak out lol

Me and my male best friend (or, at least, I consider him to be) share a funny story... We began as university mates - I'm a 36 y/o woman and he's 25 - and crossed paths in a totally accidental way. As the uni days went by, we became closer and closer, he sometimes seemed like he was flirting, but all of a sudden he would pull off talking about a new crush of his, then he would "return" once his crush was over. Due to a particularly emotional period we both went through, we shared a couple of intimate moments (we kissed twice, passionately. I initiated it, to be honest, and he didn't reject me at all) and "confessed" to each other that we were "the best thing that happened to me in the last year". We kept it a secret from all the people in our friend group. We're not in love, we're "just" best friends on a deep deep level.
I don't want to push further pressure, he's like gold and I don't want to lose his friendship.

EDIT: thanks for all the comments!
EDIT N.2: he made clear that I'm a really good friend and he doesn't want anything to change this beautiful friendship we have. I'm not that ok with it, but since I still don't know my feelings towards him, I'll let things go with the flow. Sheesh.

[sebastianlindon]

A lot of these "just being friendly" signs are the exact things I do when I *am* interested but I'm too nervous to give them any little sign of it. Like I'd probably accidentally start playing on my phone if I'm around a girl I like because I'm nervous and I don't want my nervousness to come through in conversation

[tj_puma]

This one needs to go viral. Would have saved my whole childhood

[VapourWav]

As someone whose feelings are always beyond physical attraction the first thing I do whenever meeting anyone is to just find out as much as I can about them... So, does that mean I have a crush on everyone or no one?

Edit: thank you for all the support because this really means a lot to me =3
