Whether it’s a friend you’ve known since school, a former coworker you keep in touch with, or your ex’s best friend, any perfectly platonic friendship can be loaded with sexual tensionunlocking an attraction that might have lain dormant for years.
People of all ages and at all stages of life can suddenly find themselves the object of a secret crush. The psychotherapist Charlotte Fox Weber write an article in Daily Mail where he reveals some clues that we can follow to know if a friend is in love with us.
His feet point towards you
When you are together in a group, look at his feet: Are they pointing directly at you? According to body language experts, this is a clear sign that he is interested in you and is attracted to you, even if he doesn’t know he is doing it.
Replicate your gestures
Place a hand on your neck, cross and uncross your legs, place a hand on your hip… if he replicates your gestures there’s a good chance he’s so intensely focused on you (in a good way) that he doesn’t even know you’re there. this unconsciously imitating your movements.
He stares at you
Walk into a crowded room and look around: is someone watching you? If a man who previously belonged to the ‘Platonic’ camp has fixed his eyes on you, It could be a sign that he’s particularly interested, although he may not realize it.
He seems distant
On the contrary, if your friend has become strangely distant and awkward and there is a feeling of distance and disconnection that was not evident before, this could be a sign that you have crossed the friendship line in your mind.
If your friend is unusually nervous and self-conscious around you, it could mean something is up. Avoid eye contact It can be a self-protective measure when feelings become overwhelming; You might be afraid of being exposed and potentially rejected.
Remember anecdotes in great detail
If you start remembering moments from the past, but with surprising details, It shows that he has really noticed you, that he thinks a lot about you, and that he has kept those memories alive over the years. This is even more evident if the memories are accompanied by affectionate jokes.
He blushes
turn red in its presence is a classic sign of shame and strong feelings, and we have no control over it.
Your partner is very effusive
Sometimes, this friend in love may already have a partner. Sometimes that partner may notice signs of attraction before he himself realizes what he is thinking or doing, so be alert for a change in behavior. She may become hostile or distrustful of you.or she may become effusive and smarmy as a way to appease what she perceives as a threat to her relationship. For her, it might be about keeping her friends close, but her ‘enemies’ even closer.
He apologizes
If you apologize for doing or saying something that it could have happened in the distant past (perhaps making fun of you or teasing you) This could be a sign that he has started thinking about you differently. We all mature over time and he may see you with different eyes and reflect on past actions. An apology shows that you are important to him in a new and potentially different way.
