Typical behaviors: This is how you can tell that someone finds you attractive

How we express our attraction to someone varies from person to person. Shy people are more likely to rely on subtle behaviors and body language, while extroverts are more likely to express their attraction to the other person.

Added to this are past experiences we've had in this context – and these influence how we behave toward an attractive person today. If you've experienced rejection in the past, you may be more likely to keep your attraction hidden until you know how the other person feels. Otherwise, you'd probably be more likely to go on the offensive.

It's clear: The extent to which we show a person that we're attracted to them depends on several factors. And the same applies the other way around. If you're unsure whether the other person finds you attractive, you can look out for the following typical behaviors that indicate attraction.

This is how you know someone is attracted to you 1. You often remember details

If someone is interested in you, they will always make an effort to be attentive and listen carefully. This means they'll likely remember details you may have even mentioned in passing. These little details can also be physical: They might remember what earrings you were wearing when you first met or what song you first listened to together. Such details don't come up often, but when they do, it shows a special level of interest.

2. They suddenly become interested in your interests

Commonalities are always a good way to feel connected. But what if, for example, you don't share the same hobby? Then, if your partner finds you attractive, they'll probably start exploring your interests from now on. In the next conversation, they'll ask you specific questions and be able to contribute a bit more than they did last time – and what counts much more here is the gesture and the attempt.

3. They try to see you often

If someone has a hidden interest in you, they'll try to see you often. If you can't make a date, they'll reschedule so you can still see each other. Especially in the beginning, and if the attraction is mutual, it's nice to see each other regularly. But be careful that it doesn't become too much for you, and otherwise set clear boundaries.

4. They want to protect you

If your partner is always there for you, asks how you're doing every day during bad times, and offers to pick you up and drop you off when you meet, they probably want to protect you. They want to know you're safe and happy. This may be purely a favor, but especially if you haven't known each other for long, it often indicates that they find you attractive. However, the same applies here as with seeing each other frequently: It's a matter of balance, and that should be right for you and not cause discomfort.

5. Your body language is clear

And last but not least, their body language is also important. If someone finds you attractive, they'll probably appear open and drawn to you. Try incorporating small touches like a pat on the arm. When greeting and saying goodbye, give a long, intimate hug rather than a quick, cold hug. Learn more about other body language clues in the video:

Conclusion

Even though there are some signs that indicate whether someone finds you attractive or not, communication is still the best way to find out. If you speak openly and honestly about how you feel, it will be easier for the other person to do so. If you don't want to reveal your feelings directly, you can always ask them first. Instead of speculating, being direct can save you a lot of time and disappointment when in doubt.
