When it comes to relationships, whether with a partner, friends, family, or colleagues, many of us feel the need to know what others really think of us. Even if they express their feelings to us in words, often a small doubt remains inside us.
According to relationship expert Kimberly Moffitt, there are some simple, yet accurate, ways to find out how someone really feels about you.
Here are three "tricks" she suggests:
1. Notice if he tries to help and comfort you.
The expert advises being open and speaking honestly about a concern of yours.
"Explain in detail what's bothering you and share your uncertainties about solving a problem," she says in a TikTok video.
Then, notice the person's reaction. Many will listen with understanding and let you vent. But if someone feels something more for you, they will not stop at just listening, they will try to help concretely, find solutions and ease your emotional burden. This is a strong signal that they really care about you.
2. Observe body language
Body language often speaks louder than words. Notice how someone's physical demeanor changes when you appear in a setting. Does they turn toward you? Does their body posture soften? Or does they seem more tense?
"No matter what your relationship is with a person, body language always betrays them. When you like someone, their body automatically reacts. It's a natural reflex to stand out," explains Moffitt.
3. Notice if he tries to remove any obstacles between you
Another way to observe someone's interest is to intentionally place a small object between you, such as a glass, a bag, or a phone, when you are sitting across from each other.
“If this person feels an attraction to you, his or her subconscious will push them to move the object aside,” says Moffitt.
This behavior stems from a natural desire to remove any barrier, whether physical or emotional, between themselves and the person they are interested in.
