Confused about labeling your feelings for a woman? Do you just like him as a friend, or is it more than that? Don't worry, keep reading this article to help clear up your confusion!
Step
Step 1. Observe if your brain doesn't stop thinking about it
Wherever you are, does your brain seem to keep sending you images of itself? Do you often find it difficult to focus on work because you are always thinking about it? If so, chances are you really like it!
Step 2. Observe how your body reacts when you see it, hear its name called, or think about it
Ask the following questions:
- Do you feel more excited than usual when you are around him?
- Do you unconsciously smile on your lips when you see it?
- Do you have a strange twisting sensation in your stomach when you are near him?
- Does your heart beat faster nearby? If so, chances are you really like it.
Step 3. Observe how much you want to chat with him
See if you often make up excuses just to call him or text him. Are you always trying to 'accidentally' run into him and have a chat with him?
Step 4. Observe if you often feel afraid, hesitant, or unsure about talking to him
Do you often spend hours just deciding what sentences to post on their Facebook profile or email them? If so, then you probably already like him and want to impress him, so you need to think hard just to talk to him
Step 5. Observe your emotions when he's around another guy
When you see him chatting with other men, or hear him talk about other men, do you feel a surge of jealousy that makes you want to hit the guy right away? Or, do you actually feel sad and discouraged after hearing it? If you feel any or all of these emotions, chances are that you really like them romantically. If not, chances are you just like him as a friend.
Step 6. Observe if you are willing to do anything to be close to him
For example, do you always try to sit or stand near him? Do you always want to sit next to him in class or chat with him during lunch time? When you are around him, do you feel happier and more energized than usual? If the answer to all of these questions is “yes”, chances are you really like it.
Step 7. Observe if you tend to act or feel different emotions around him
Have you always been indifferent and relaxed when chatting with your closest friends, but suddenly became nervous when you had to talk to this woman? For example, you often sprain your tongue or your hands will sweat due to being attacked by nervousness. In addition, the flow and tone of your conversation will sound awkward. Generally, this situation occurs when you have romantic feelings for him. Even if the two of you have been friends for a long time, the situation is still possible if you suddenly notice that his status in your eyes has changed.
Tips
- Be yourself in front of him!
- Before asking him out, make sure your other relationship situation is stable.
- Don't be afraid to chat with him. Follow your heart and do it without hesitation!
- Understand your feelings well so as not to choose the wrong partner.
- Don't share your feelings with your closest friends. Be careful, they can leak it to the idol of the heart, but he would want to hear it from your own mouth.
- Don't rush into everything. Focus on building the foundation of a good relationship with him. When the time is right, and when you're ready, ask him out.
- Don't be nervous around him. Remember, she is no different from any other woman out there.
- Your feelings are one-sided? Be patient. Sometimes time can change a person's feelings.
- If she is currently dating another man, be patient and wait for her. After all, the relationship may not last long. When that time comes, share your feelings!
- Reluctant to express love directly? Try expressing it by letter!
Warning
- Don't tease her if you don't want to make her feel confused or inferior.
- In fact, a person's feelings can change due to being away from their idol for too long, or even having a romantic relationship with other people when living far away from the person they like. If you're in either of these two situations, before making a decision, try spending time with him again to identify whether or not there's any love left behind.
