the person who they believe has your attention they may grow distant or even slightly mean if your crush is jealous they want your attention although you should never make your crush jealous on purpose according according to psychology researcher Dr Rachel elfon and Associates jealousy greatly leads to relationship dissatisfaction boasting nobody likes a narcissist but we also want people to think the best of us especially when we like someone some people might have an instinct to be humble and downplay things you might have done that to stay out of the spotlight or because you're shy when
someone likes you they want you to be impressed by them a study by communication specialist Lynn Miller and colleagues found that there is a difference between speaking positively of yourself and boasting people who speak well about themselves were seen as competent whereas boasters were seen as socially insensitive it's hard to like a boaster so something your crush might do to get your attention is show you how much they know about something you like whether it's movies video games anime or Sports the only way they can do this effectively is if they ask you questions when
you have a crush your instinct is to get close to them the most logical way to do this is by just talking to them those initial steps of trying to get close to your crush can be so painfully awkward suddenly you forget what normal people talk about so you ask questions when you really like someone you enjoy learning everything you can about them and this is a good thing as psychologist Todd kastan and George Mason found in their 2005 study on the effects of curiosity in building relationships it was shown that through asking questions participants
felt closer with their assigned conversation Partners the only problem is that sometimes it can feel like small talk so pay attention to how specific they get and how much they engage with you on any particular Topic in the study questions were specifically chosen starting with less intimate and slowly getting more intimate as the study went on your crush may even take a particular interest in your emotional well-being this is how they communicate that they can be Dependable while also learning about you and how to impress you they tease you there's a common belief that sometimes
kids pick on the kids they like but when we get older surely we outgrow that instinct it turns out we don't there are two different kinds of teasing one is genuine malicious mockery and the other is a more gentle friendly and light-hearted joke that might come at someone's expense if your crush is poking fun at you in a way that isn't genuinely hurtful they might want your attention according to social psychologist Justin Krueger and colleagues we tend to misunderstand people's intentions when they tease us the differences between the two kinds of teasing get blurred and
we end up taking things personally maybe this has led you to believe that your crush doesn't feel the same way about you next time they tease you consider whether or not they're actually trying to hurt you or if they just want your attention if you still can't tell then maybe compliments your crush might have sensed that teasing you isn't getting them the right kind of attention or maybe they haven't started teasing you at all and you're still in the stage of getting to know each other properly either way you might find them complimenting you often
we try to appreciate people for more than just their physical appearance but research by psychologist Dr Christina Brown and colleagues in 2014 revealed that when a person complement your physical appearance it could be interpreted as sexual attraction of course it is possible to objectively appreciate someone's attractiveness but if your crush is repeatedly complimenting you on your looks your intelligence and your humor they probably want your attention they could even be inviting you to compliment them too if you haven't already have you noticed your crush doing or showing any of these signs have you done these
