Q&A for How to Find out if Your Crush Likes Someone Else

I believe that simply acting traditionally chivalrous is how modern men stand out! A lot of women do want a guy who does these chivalrous things like calls instead of texts, opening doors for them, etc.

If you believe your crush still likes their ex or likes someone else, and that you're a rebound, know that there are some signs you can look for. For example, if they mention their ex a lot, comparing the way you treat them or the way you both interact, that's a red flag for sure.

Eye contact alone isn't a reliable indicator of a crush. Looking at someone is considered normal for most people; most people look at whoever they're interacting with, and some people will automatically gravitate toward looking at people they're familiar with, particularly if they're shy. There are many other behaviors that come with crushes that don't involve eye contact, such as blushing, flirting, shyness, trying to get their attention, "preening" around them, constantly talking about them, or seeking them out a lot, among other behaviors. If possible, try looking at his behavior around the girl he says he likes; if he does have a crush on her, then you'll likely notice that he's acting differently around her than he does with you.

There are many reasons for this. They could just genuinely not like each other in that way, and are uncomfortable or grossed out by other people implying it (it's possible for boy-girl friendships to be platonic - they may feel more like siblings than partners to each other). He could like her, but be afraid of getting rejected or ruining the friendship, or has been rejected by her and doesn't want to admit to others that he has a crush. They may not want to date or be able to date for various reasons - family, friends, or so forth. However, it's clear that the two of them aren't interested in dating each other, and it's not a good idea to push the subject or continue to bring up whether or not they crush on each other. Doing so will just make them uncomfortable.
