When you first meet someone, your first impression is everything.
You may not know it at the time, but the way you interact with each other in that first meeting will influence how you feel about them.
You might find yourself thinking they’re attractive and then, before you know it, they’ve made a fool of themselves, or maybe they’re a little too awkward for your taste.
Read on to find out what these 37 psychological signs may mean when it comes to whether or not someone is interested in you romantically.
1) They are naturally curious
This is a sign of intelligence and curiosity.
If you’re attracted to someone, they will most likely be curious about you and your life, as well.
They will ask questions and want to know more about you.
This also shows that they are not afraid to take the initiative when it comes to making conversation with you.
2) They make eye contact
One of the most important signs of attraction is eye contact.
If someone doesn’t make eye contact with you when they talk about something new or interesting, then it may not mean that they aren’t attracted to you very much at all because there are other reasons why a person might look away from your face while talking.
For example, if someone has an itch on their arm and keeps scratching it during the conversation, this could be a sign that he or she isn’t really paying attention to what’s being said in order to focus on scratching instead.
Another reason for looking away would be if the person felt uncomfortable doing so and didn’t want others around them noticing either.
So although making eye contact can often indicate interest towards another individual, sometimes people just don’t feel comfortable doing so in certain situations.
While there are exceptions to this rule, this is a fairly accurate sign.
3) They are honest and straightforward
If someone is direct and honest, then it may mean that they are attracted to you. It can also be a sign of their honesty in general.
If someone seems like the type who would always tell it as it is without sugar-coating anything, this could indicate that they’re attracted to you because of your authenticity or openness with them.
This person’s bluntness might not be for everyone – but if so, just know what kind of personality they have before getting into any sort of relationship with them!.
4) They give off positive vibes
Have you ever been in the company of someone who just gives off negativity?! It’s like you can feel the bad vibes permeating from their pores.
Although it’s not something you can put your finger on, or pinpoint exactly what’s wrong, you just sense something is off with this person.
It makes you want to run screaming for the hills and stay far away from them. That’s your intuition by the way!
The opposite can be said when someone gives off good energy.
This is a major sign of attraction for most people. If someone gives off good vibes, then it means that he or she is interested in you and likes you for who you are. This will help your self-esteem and confidence grow as well!
5) They try to impress you with their looks, style, or personality
If someone is trying to impress you, then it probably means that they’re interested in you.
They might be trying to impress you by wearing something new or trying out a different hairstyle or color, while other people might try to do this just because they like the way it looks on them, they’re doing it because they are trying to get your approval.
It’s incredibly flattering when someone goes out of their way to look their best for you and it’s a strong sign that they are attracted to you.
6) They make an effort to know what you like and don’t like
This is a good sign that someone is interested in you.
If someone wants to know more about you, then it probably means that they want to get to know you better and are trying to learn as much about you as possible.
This also shows that the person is paying attention to what you like and what you don’t like and trying to find out more about your likes, dislikes, and preferences.
This can be very flattering for some people because it shows that the person is really interested in getting to know them better.
It’s also a good sign if they’re trying new things or experimenting with different foods or drinks just because they think you like them or want you to think they have good taste.
7) They are honest and direct with their feelings
This is a very attractive quality. If someone is honest and direct with their feelings, then it means that they are interested in you and have a good idea of what you like.
This also shows that the person has high standards and is not afraid of telling you what they think or feel. It shows that they are confident enough to express themselves and not hide their true feelings.
It’s a sign that the person has confidence in themselves, which can be attractive to some people because it shows that the person is confident in their abilities and self-worth.
8) They let their guard down and open up to you more than other people would
This is a sign of attraction because most people do not like to be so open with someone else unless they have a great connection with them.
This means that the person likes you, which means that they are attracted to you.
This is a sign that the person is feeling comfortable around you and does not feel threatened by you in any way. It’s also a good sign if they are comfortable enough to tell you about their feelings or problems without worrying about what you might think.
It shows that they are at ease around you and trust you enough to open up.
9) They are non-judgmental and accepting of your flaws
If someone is not judgmental and accepting of your flaws, then it may mean that they are attracted to you.
Maybe you hate your nose, your skin, or your size 9 feet but the other person doesn’t seem to notice they tell you things like, it makes you more unique or, it’s part of what makes you special.
Or, you might have made a few judgment calls in your life, and instead of lecturing you about it, they listen to you and are non-judgemental.
This is a sign that the person is interested in you because they like you for who you are and not what they think you should be.
This can be very attractive to some people because it shows that the person does not judge them, but rather accepts them for who they are.
10) They compliment your looks, style, or personality
This shows that the person likes you and is attracted to you. It shows that they are confident enough to compliment your looks and personality, which is one of the biggest indicators of attraction.
Also, they are pinpointing the exact things they find attractive about you. Perhaps these are the qualities that they are looking for in a partner.
Also, when somebody pays you a compliment it is a sign that the person likes you because they are confident in themselves and a million other things are happening, which is very attractive to many people.
11) They “have their shit together”
This isn’t obvious and it requires getting to know them a little better before you can make this deduction.
They have a stable job, are mentally and physically healthy and have their finances in check.
When someone is attracted to you, they will offer this information to you because they want to come across as a stable individual, in the hopes that you’ll like them more.
Don’t confuse this with bragging. There’s a difference.
Someone who has their shit together is attractive as hell because it shows that they have accomplished goals in their lives and have the ability to take care of you…and they want you to know it!
12) They challenge you in a positive way instead of just agreeing with everything you say or think
There are many reasons why people might not ask you out. Some of the most common ones include:
- They value your opinion about topics and want to know your feelings and thoughts on the matter.
- They are intrigued by your way of thinking and find it refreshing. They find you interesting and want to get to know you better because it’s refreshing to see things from your point of view.
So, if someone is challenging your viewpoint in a positive way, take it as a sign that they’re attracted and intrigued by you!
13) They are a great conversationalist
This is another sign of attraction because most people do not like to talk a lot unless they have a great connection with someone.
This doesn’t relate to in contact person to person conversation.
People who are interested in casual dating often find that the best way for them to meet new people is through online chat rooms, where it’s easy and natural for conversations about interests or hobbies to happen organically.
Chatting on sites such as Tinder will help you see if there might be chemistry between two potential partners before going out on real dates.
So, if you’ve struck up a great convo with someone and you can spend hours chatting and talking, it’s a huge sign of attraction
14) They are not afraid to be themselves
It’s incredibly refreshing to meet someone who doesn’t conform to societal norms. They’re unique and interesting and what you see is what you get.
So often people try to be a version of someone who they think will be liked because they think that who they currently are is “not enough”.
However, if you can be yourself around someone, or vice versa, this is a huge plus. There’s no need for pretense or acting; you can just be yourself without having to watch your ps and qs.
15) They are fun and energetic when around you
This is another sign of attraction because most people have a lot of energy when around other people who they like (or who they want to impress).
I can’t think of anything worse than someone who constantly kills the vibe and talking to them is like watching paint dry. The conversation is forced and awkward and boring.
However, If someone has a lot of energy around you, then it may mean that they really like you and are attracted to you.
16) They have a great sense of humor and enjoy making others laugh
There is no better skill to have than a great sense of humor. It lightens the mood, it makes people feel comfortable and can lift your spirits.
Somebody with a sense of humor is naturally more attractive. They make you feel good and you enjoy spending time with them because they don’t take life too seriously.
So, if someone is constantly making you crack up, and they make you laugh often, it’s a huge sign that they’re attracted to you.
17) They are very attentive and responsive when you talk to them
This is another sign of attraction because most people are not attentive unless they are trying to impress someone.
When you’re chatting they give you their undivided attention and actively listen to what you’re saying by hanging on to your every word.
It’s also showing that they’re invested in what you have to say and that you’re important. So, when someone makes an effort to listen attentively to you and is present and responsive when you talk, take it as a sign of attraction.
18) They are very generous with their time and attention
Another big sign of attraction is when someone is willing to drop everything and spend time with you.
They are never too busy to help you and they enjoy spending time in your company. They never shirk you off, bail, or flake on you because they want to be with you.
Take this as a huge sign that they’re attracted to you!
19) They make you feel special
They make you feel like you are the only person in the room and go out of their way to make you feel important and acknowledged.
They are always making you feel like you are the center of their world and that they are completely focused on you.
They are always making you feel like they have nothing else to do and that they would rather be with you than do anything else.
They make it seem like your world is the only thing when in reality there are a million other things happening around them.
When someone is showing you a lot of attention and making you feel like your presence is important to them, take it as a sign that they’re attracted to you.
20) They make an effort to be physically close to you
For example, they might sit or stand really close or put their hand on your knee while talking to you. When someone is trying to get closer to you this means that they’re into you.
They want to be as close to you as possible.
This is a huge sign of attraction because most people are not comfortable with being that close to someone they don’t feel an attraction for.
21) They always have a good attitude when they are around you
This is another sign of attraction because most people do not like to be around someone who always has a bad attitude.
They might have just had a really bad day or a fight with a sibling but you would never have guessed because they’re not moody or irritable with you.
If someone always has a good attitude when they are around you, then it may mean that they really like you and are attracted to you.
22) They give you their number or email and ask for yours in return
When someone gives you their number or asks for yours, take it as a sign that they’re attracted to you because most people aren’t just going to freely give out their personal information.
Especially when it comes to dating, people are very picky about who they give out their personal details to and won’t just do it with anyone.
When someone is willing to share their information with you, take it as a sign that they’re interested in you.
23) They don’t mind being seen with you in public
People have their pride and will not be seen with someone they aren’t attracted to or don’t like in public.
In fact, they want everybody they know to see you too together because they’re proud to have you in their life.
If they are willing to be seen with you, then this is a huge sign of attraction because most people won’t do it if they don’t like you or are not attracted to you.
24) They demonstrate non-verbal signs of attraction
When people are attracted to others, they often show it through their body language.
For example, when someone is interested in you or likes you a lot, they might smile more and touch you more often.
This is because the human brain can only process so much information at once; if there’s something that stands out about the other person (like their physical appearance), then your brain will have an easier time processing what that person does as well as everything else going on around them.
It’s also important to note how these behaviors change over time: sometimes attraction builds gradually over weeks or months while with others it happens quickly within minutes of meeting each other for the first time.
When someone shows these signs of attraction, know that they like you and are interested in getting to know you better.
25) They make plans with you
When someone makes plans with you, they’re showing that they want to spend time with you and get to know you better.
This is a huge sign of attraction because most people don’t want to waste their time on something that doesn’t interest them or isn’t important to them.
If someone takes the time out of their day and makes plans with you, it shows that they care about seeing you and are attracted to your personality and company.
26) They ask you to hang out with their friends
When someone asks you to hang out with their friends, they’re showing that they want to spend time with you and are inviting you into their social circle.
They want to introduce you to those closest to them because they want them to like you as much as they like you!
This is a sign that they like and are attracted to you because most people don’t do this unless they’re interested in getting to know someone better.
27) They want to meet your friends
When someone wants to meet your friends, they’re showing that they like you and are interested in getting to know you better.
This is a huge sign of attraction because most people don’t want to waste their time on someone they aren’t attracted to or don’t like in some way.
If they are willing to meet your friends and make an effort with them, then it shows that they like you and want to spend more time with you.
28) They make time for you
When someone is interested in you, they’re willing to make time for you, whether it’s just to hang out or something more serious like dating.
This is a huge sign of attraction because most people won’t go out of their way to do this unless they’re interested in getting to know someone better.
If they are willing to spend time with you, then it shows that they like you and want to spend more time with you.
29) They want to get to know you better
When someone is interested in you, they’re willing to learn more about you and get to know you better.
Unless someone is interested in getting to know you better, most people would not go out of their way to do this.
30) They bring up the future
When someone brings up the future, it shows that they like you and are interested in getting to know you better because they want something more serious with you down the road.
Since most people won’t bring up the future like this unless they’re interested in getting to know you better, this is a huge sign of attraction.
31) They smile at you
When someone smiles at you, it shows that they like you and are attracted to you.
A smile can communicate a lot of things, such as happiness, affection, or attraction.
If they smile at you, then it shows that they like you and are attracted to you because people rarely smile at someone unless they’re interested in getting to know them.
32) They flirt with you
When someone flirts with you, it shows that they like you and are attracted to you.
Flirting can be difficult for a lot of people, so if they’re doing it with you then that means they really like you and are attracted to who you are.
Flirting is an effortless art form that requires no skill or technique at all – It’s something anyone can do! Flirtation starts from the moment someone looks into your eyes when talking to them.
If their gaze lingers too long on yours, then chances are good that the conversation will turn romantic in nature shortly after.
The flirting process is something that I would classify as “naturally occurring.” It’s not something you can force or create, it just happens.
If they flirt with you then it shows that they like you and are attracted!
33) They touch you
When someone touches you, it shows that they like you and are attracted to you.
Touching is a way of communicating affection and attraction.
Touching you is typically a sign of liking and being attracted to you, since most people won’t touch you unless they’re interested in getting to know you better.
34) They pay attention to your needs
When someone pays attention to your needs, it shows that they like you and are attracted to you.
This shows that they are being thoughtful, attentive, and considerate towards you.
People who pay attention to other people’s needs show that they like them and are interested in them because they will not really bother to listen to the needs of others unless they are interested in knowing them more.
35) They get jealous when other people flirt with or talk to them
When someone gets jealous when other people flirt with or talk to them, it shows that they like you and are attracted to you.
Jealousy is a strong emotion associated with romantic relationships.
It can be caused by many different things including the fear of losing your partner’s love for another person and thoughts about what could happen if their attention were diverted from you towards this person instead.
If someone becomes jealous when you flirted or talked to another person, then this means they like you and are attracted to you. Most people wouldn’t be so possessive unless they wanted to get closer.
36) They talk about their past
The person is telling you about their past to show that they like and are attracted to you.
They might also be trying to tell a story in order for the two of you to have something in common or so that it will make them feel closer with each other.
The stories can range from funny anecdotes, embarrassing moments, or even just personal information such as where they grew up and what school they went to.
When someone tells stories about their past, it shows that they like you and are attracted to you.
37) They tell you that they have feelings for you
This can be a difficult concept to understand for people who have not experienced it. Feelings are more than just physical attraction, but they are also an emotional response that someone has towards you.
When your partner tells you that they feel something specific about the way you make them feel or how much time and effort they put into their relationship with them, this is when feelings come into play.
It’s important to remember that there is no right or wrong type of feeling; what one person finds romantic may seem cheesy or embarrassing to another person because everyone experiences love differently.
If someone tells you this, it is a sign that they are attracted to and like you. Most people won’t admit this unless they want to get closer to you.
Wrapping Up
This is not an exhaustive list of all the signs that someone is attracted to you and likes you.
However, it is a good place to start if you are trying to figure out whether or not your partner is interested in you.
If you are interested in someone, then it is important that you take initiative and don’t wait for them to make the first move if you want to get closer.
There are many ways to show your interest in someone without being too forward, such as flirting, asking questions about them, or showing that you are listening.
There are also some things that you should avoid doing if you want to be attractive to someone else: ignore them, talk about yourself too much, and judge other people too quickly.
