Ah the humble crush, it’s something that we’ve all experienced at some point in time. We normally get our first crush when we’re in our preteen years and once that first one hits us, we’re sort of done for.
No matter how old you get, crushes tend to become a regular occurrence in your life. You see an attractive person, you start thinking about how nice it’d be to become their girlfriend and before you know it, you’re on the phone to your BFF telling her all about the gorgeous babies you’d have with the latest object of your affections.
So let’s just say that you’re currently suffering from a crush. What are the best ways to let someone know that you’re interested in them (in a non-creepy way like)?
According to relationship experts there are three fool-proof ways to let your crush know that you’re crushing on them. Hard.

Eye contact is one of the main ways to express your interest in someone
Communicate Without Words:
Did you know that 80 per cent of all communication is non-verbal? Yes, believe it or not but even when we’re totally silent, our bodies are still chatting up a storm. One of the easiest ways to express your romantic interest in someone is to drop hints via the art of non-verbal communication (or body image).
Try making repeated eye contact with your crush during a short space of time. According to body language experts, if someone’s eyes sparkle when they look at you or if they catch your gaze then look down and smile, it’s a sure sign they’re attracted to you.
Try to build common ground with them every time you see them
Build A Common Ground With Them:
Every time you see your crush, it’s important to engage in conversation with them. Take note of the things that they like and try to talk to them about those things. This will show that you have a common ground with each other.
Releationship experts say that you should also drop hints via how you broach the subjects that they’re interested in. For example, say things like: “I’d like to date someone who has an interest in (the topic you’re currently chatting about).”
Of if you prefer something a little more subtle, find out if there’s anything happening that directly related to their interests and ask them if they’d like to go with you. For example: “Oh the cinema is screening arty French films tonight. I’d love to go but I don’t know anyone else who likes them. Oh wait, you mentioned you loved them right? Would you like to come with me?”
Invade Their Personal Space:
But in a non-creepy way. Repeatedly invade their personal space and see how they react to you. For example, step in closer to them to tell them something. If they don’t shift their weight away from you then chances are they’re interested in you. Your behaviour will also signify to them that you’re interested too.
