Ugh. I can never figure this out. Then, when I like someone, I dunno how to act and so I ridicule them. Eye contact has always been uncomfortable for me, and it just gets worse when I like someone.

But that's beside the point.

How do you know if someone else likes you?

*Just thought I should add the fact that I'm a teen, not an adult...*

For those of us who don't have wives it's different.

One pretty sure sign is if they ask you if you are single.

There's a problem if your wife's asking if you're single.

I really wouldn't know unless they actually told me they did.

I did see that. My post was a joke based on a deliberate misreading.

One of the biggest ways to tell if they like you, is if they act different around you than they do other people of the same sex. They could be more flirty, nervous, ask personal questions, make more/less eye contact, touchy-feely, or just somehow manage to be around you more than other people. Also, everybody shows interest in different ways, so there isn't really a single answer to this.

Isn't that the difficult part? Catch 22. If you don't like a guy... he'll chase and pursue.
As soon as you start liking them, it shows, they've "had you" and they move on to the next conquest.

At least that's my experience.

Oh good, I understand it's hard to pull jokes like that anymore. It's hard to tell anymore. Reading comprehension doesn't seem to be a virtue these days.

Though seriously, asking if you are single is not a guarantee. If they are of the same sex as you especially they might just be trying to make you feel bad. If it's coming from the opposite sex and you are single take it as a good sign.

I'm yet to engage in a relationship. If someone is my friend I tend to read their body language and not their eye contact or facial signs coz I don't understand half the times, I might miconstrude a half cockeyed eyebrow for a cheeky comeon when it may be they are offended by something I said.

I'd say if they get closer to you, or spend more time with you I'd say that is your signs, also sharing an open conversation may be the best way to go, I know it could spoil the mystery but knowing which direction its going than going the opposite way.

If they stand so close to you while walking you keep crashing into them; if they say hello the very second you come online, and give you abnormal amounts of attention and/or interest - at least, that's what happened to me last time. It's not always that blatant, though. Also, some people jump to conclusions: I once asked someone whether we could stay in touch and they said, "I have a boyfriend". I had no intention of dating them - I dunno why they thought that I did.

Agreed - I usually ask out of interest, rather than because I fancy them.
