Are they being flirty…or just friendly? Here’s how to figure out what they *aren’t* saying.
So, do you really know how to pick up the signals your crush is putting out there? If you picked mostly A’s, you’re able to decode cuties and strike just the right tone when flirting. If you circled mostly B’s or C’s, you’re either missing helpful hints...or maybe making too much out of their words.
Now that you know how you react to a crush’s conversations, here’s how to uncover what they are *really* saying...
When they are just being sweet…
The super nice cuties of the world have been confusing girls for ages. They’ll ask how your summer was and might even toss an invite your way, but, um, is that flirting? Depends.
DECODE: Ask yourself: Are they this nice to everyone—or are they going out of their way with you? They might call you “cutie” or say, “Hey, babe,” but when someone is really crushing, they start taking note of the little details about y-o-u, in and out of school. The just-being-nice bae is buds with all—so unless they start remembering how you take your latte, he or she more than likely just thinks of you as another friend.
When they are trying to see how you feel…
This sweetie is all about dropping the subtle hints because, well, they are trying to see if you’re into them. Cue the vague texts: The short and sweet “What’s up?” is this sweetie’s go-to move.
