The game of love and attraction can be exhausting. I've had this talk with friends before: If a guy claims he's not asking you on a date but pays for everything and even gets you flowers, does that mean he really does like you and that it was a date? So confusing. People play games and also try to protect their hearts and egos by not showing all of their cards. So, how do you tell if someone is attracted to you but won't admit it?

For one, if they make the time to message you, that can mean they're into you. "No matter how busy they get, if they always find the time to talk to you or respond to your messages, it's a good sign they like you," says an expert at Redonline.co.uk. Their expert also adds that, "We may flood someone's inbox the more excited and engrossed we become." Another telltale sign: They use emojis. According to Redonline.co.uk, that's a good sign. "They might seem like silly little faces with heart eyes, however, emojis and the way a person uses them can show us a lot about how they feel about us," their expert says.

Another sign someone is attracted to you is not just the communication but the kind of communication. If they "voluntarily share information about themselves," that's a good sign, according to Coaching-online.org. "When you like someone, you’ll automatically want them to know about you – especially the good parts." They add that "they'll be eager to tell you many things about themselves and will be observing what you think about them."

Playful teasing is another good sign. I guess teasing is flirty in certain situations. "We often associate teasing with childhood crushes, but it’s a behavior that continues into adulthood when there’s attraction," says Geediting.com. A few more signs from sign from Geediting.com is that the person gets nervous around you and are always there and willing to help you. How romantic, right? Reach out to me with your thoughts here.
