00:00 Have you ever wondered when it is appropriate to make a move on your crush?
00:06 Do you feel like you can't tell whether or not she's giving you any signs?
00:10 Human behavior is sometimes confusing, but there are some general signs that people exhibit
00:14 when they are interested in somebody and they want that other person to make a move.
00:18 Here are 5 signs your crush is waiting for you to make a move.
00:21 Now let's begin.
00:23 1.
00:24 Eye contact and smiling.
00:26 When someone makes eye contact and smiles at you, it means that they are interested
00:29 in you.
00:30 The eye contact could be brief, long, or you could feel them staring when you're not looking.
00:35 This mostly applies to women, according to studies.
00:39 Social psychology expert Madeline A. Fugere, PhD, says when women are attracted to someone,
00:44 we tend to make eye contact and smile.
00:47 Smiling and eye contact increase activity in the area of the brain associated with reward.
00:52 The frequency of sustained eye contact varies across cultures, but eye contact and smiling
00:57 can make you seem more attractive to others.
01:00 If you notice that your crush is directing their smiles and eye contact consistently
01:04 toward you, this might be a sign that it is safe to make a move and go talk to them.
01:09 But what about men?
01:10 According to Madeline, men may show different signs.
01:13 When it comes to men, you may catch them looking at you for a long time, parting their lips
01:18 spontaneously, flaring their nostrils, and flashing their brows upwards, explains Regain,
01:24 an individual and couples therapy site.
01:27 Regain also states that, in conversation, you may see men nervously graze their faces
01:31 with their hands, straighten their clothes, and have their feet pointed toward you.
01:36 They may also run their fingers through their hair.
01:39 All of these are signs that a man likes you and that he may want you to make a move.
01:43 Number 2.
01:44 Mirroring.
01:45 Mirroring is one of the most telling signs that someone is not only interested in you,
01:49 but also wants you to make a move.
01:52 Limbic synchrony, also known as mirroring, is when a person mimics or reflects certain
01:56 body language like movements, voice patterns, and facial expressions of another person that
02:01 they like or are interested in.
02:03 From an evolutionary standpoint, it is a behavior developed as a form of survival, but it is
02:08 also a sign of trust.
02:11 An article in Imagine Health, a psychological support website, states that the whole point
02:16 of mirroring is that it's a way to better understand others and connect with them.
02:21 Being able to mirror someone is the same as being able to listen to someone.
02:24 If someone mirrors you, it means they are listening to you on a deeper level.
02:29 It likely means that this person may be interested in you in a more romantic way, which is a
02:33 good indication to make a move.

02:41 Now, moving on to the next point.
02:43 Number 3.
02:44 Notice and remember things about you.
02:46 If you are interested in someone but don't know if you should make a move, try to become
02:50 aware of whether or not this other person notices and remembers small things about you
02:54 that no one else seems to notice.
02:57 Similar to mirroring, when people are attracted to someone, they often tend to notice or remember
03:01 things about that other person that nobody else does.
03:04 They do this to let the other person know that they're listening and they are paying
03:08 attention to them.
03:09 As the Gentleman Within article states, "Most people won't even notice that you adjust your
03:14 glasses when you're nervous, or that you always log in to your social media every day at 7:20
03:19 p.m., but they somehow have noticed these small details, and more.
03:23 Or she remembers something that you like and you ask her about it, and she says you told
03:27 her about it a whole year ago.
03:29 These signs mean she's into you."
03:31 Number 4.
03:33 Tries to be close or touch you.
03:35 Generally speaking, when we like or trust someone, we want to be close to them.
03:39 Closeness can mean different things ranging from just being in the same vicinity to touching
03:43 skin to skin.
03:45 According to Very Well Mind, physical touch can create emotional intimacy by releasing
03:49 oxytocin, also known as the feel-good hormone.
03:52 This starts creating an emotional, mental, and chemical bond between the two people that
03:56 can be taken further if both decide to.
03:59 Proximity is also a way to slowly become more intimate with another person.
04:03 Notice how the more you know and trust someone, the more you let them into your personal space.
04:08 If you notice that the person you like tries to be close to you or is always finding excuses
04:13 to touch you, it may be a sign that they like you and want you to make a move.
04:17 Number 5.
04:18 Asking.
04:19 Another sign that your crush may be waiting for you to make a move is that they ask if
04:23 you consider them dateable if you think they look good, or they ask you for advice on a
04:27 number of things.
04:29 People ask others for help or advice when they want to be around them, or they know
04:32 they can help with their problems.
04:34 So if you notice that your crush tries to ask or talk to you often, it may be a sign
04:38 that they like you and want you to make a move.
04:41 Of course, the surest sign you can get is by asking them directly if they like you.
04:46 Yes, it is scary.
04:48 Yes, there's a possibility that there may be rejection.
04:51 But if you want to know without a reasonable doubt, asking them directly is your best bet.
