Is it Love??
Here's How:
Ask yourself: 'Would I be willing to let her/him go if I believed it was the best thing?'
Ask yourself: 'Am I willing to wait for this person if s/he is not ready to have sex?'
Ask yourself: 'Would I feel the same way if s/he gained weight?'
Ask yourself: 'Am I willing to sacrifice my dreams to allow her/his dreams to come true?'
Ask yourself: 'Do I respect and admire her/him?'
Ask yourself: 'Would I feel the same way if s/he got sick?'
Ask yourself: 'If you two were in an argument, would you feel the same way?'
If you answered 'No' to any of these questions, think about why you gave that answer. Is it a lack of trust? Is it because you're afraid? Is it selfishness? Do you need more time to get to know each other?
If you answered 'Yes' to all of these questions, wow, you feel very strongly about this person. It sounds like you're in love!
Tips:
If you're wondering if you're in love, this is often because you might base a decision on your answer. Be careful! Decisions should not be based just on the feeling of 'love'. You should also look at respect, commitment and trust.
Ask yourself what it means to you if you believe you're in love. Don't put pressure on yourself to define what you're feeling as love. And don't let anyone else pressure you either.
If you're not sure of the answer right now. Give it some time and ask yourelf these questions a few months or a year down the road. You might be surprised to see how your feelings change.
Does he like me??
Here's How:
Keep an eye on how many times you catch her/him staring at you.
Take notice of whether s/he smiles at you a lot.
Look for whether s/he focuses on you in a crowd.
Observe if s/he has suddenly taken more interest in your friends.
Pay attention to any significant changes in her/his behavior toward you recently.
Start showing her/him a bit more interest and see how they respond.
Have a friend talk to her/him or one of her/his friends about you.
Ask, '[name], are you interested in me?'
Tips:
Hopefully you will not have to use steps 7 or 8, but if you're having difficulty reading her/him, these steps are your last resort!
Remember, this is not an exact science, and it may take a few mistakes to perfect your technique
I am interested in you
Here's How:
Create opportunities for you to see each other. This might include secretly waiting in the hall or sitting near him/her at lunch.
Make eye contact and smile!
When you pass him/her in the hall, say 'Hi!'
Get to know some of his/her friends
If you have a class together, ask him/her a question about it.
Ask him/her about something you know s/he is interested in.
Ask if s/he wants to hang out sometime.
Tips:
If you're like me, sending these signals can be scary. Start small and work your way up to the tougher steps.
Don't set yourself up to get hurt, make sure you haven't put your entire self-worth into whether or not s/he responds to your signals.
