Five behaviors the channel says signal that someone has a crush on you, since attraction makes people act differently around the person they like to seek validation.

Key points

• Social media stalking: they go through all your platforms and old posts to learn about you before sending a first text (and may accidentally like a years-old photo).
• Obsessively re-reading your texts: re-reading the whole thread, double-checking messages, and agonizing over reply timing so as not to seem too needy or too distant.
• Copying your speech patterns and mannerisms: picking up your catchphrases, gestures, rhythm, and cadence; framed as "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."
• Trying hard with your friend circle: wanting your friends to like them, asking your friends lots of questions about you; initial awkwardness may just be nerves.
• Doing things you like that they have no interest in: joining activities (e.g. a run or museum visit) outside their comfort zone to share your interests.
• Closing caveat: signals are easily misinterpreted and people react differently, so these signs can be confusing.
