Some people believe in guy-girl friendships or what’s known as “platonic friendships” while others don’t. Simply, platonic friendships are like a magnet; two opposite sides of a magnet can’t always remain close to each other without a bit of attraction.
Let’s start by saying that the strongest romantic relationships are initiated by being platonic friendships first. Sometimes, a momentary attraction may exist during the friendship phase, just like how you might think a stranger is attractive; that’s why this kind of friendship is not always pure. If you are unsure about your guy/girl best friend, here are 6 signs that indicate you might be more than a friend to them.
Compliments
Of course, friends often compliment each other as it’s a wonderful way for us to show affection and appreciation for someone else, specifically those compliments that truly come from the heart. If you notice that your friend never misses a chance to compliment you, especially on personal things, this could be a sign that they see you as more than a friend, then watch out! A romantic future may be ahead.
Jealousy
If they get a little bit jealous when you talk about other people, it could be a sign that they really like you. When you notice their jealousy while interacting with the other gender you should know that they may have some remarkable interest in you that is more than just a friendship. Be careful that while a little bit of jealousy can be flattering yet, it's important to make sure that it isn’t a pattern of controlling or manipulative behavior.
Flirting
Flirting is one of the surefire signs you’re more than friends because unless your friend is also someone you dated, they shouldn’t be flirting with you in the first place. If you find them giving a lot of mixed messages, it could mean they’ve already found the potential of a romantic partner in you! Moreover, they speak to you differently from others, this is also a sign that they have their eyes set on you.
They ask you out
Do they take the initiative to ask you to hang out? Do you drive around at night, talking about what’s in your heart? This is a big sign that they’re into you. If they begin to find excuses just to hang out with you, to do things together, or they enjoy your presence more than their other friends then, this is a sign that they crave intimacy with you.
A lot of eye contact
You may notice a lot of eye contact when you’re around a friend who might be interested in you. They will make and keep eye contact as a sign of being attentive or listening. This is an indicator that he is either involved in the conversation or lost in your eyes. Guess what! prolonged eye contact can increase feelings of attraction and intimacy between two people; this sign shows that they genuinely like you
Their body language changes
Words can hide emotions, but body language never lies. Their body will act in certain ways that reveal how they truly feel; they sit near you, keep their feet towards you, give you the look of love, mirror your actions, and smile whenever you talk. If you find them displaying such body language, it is a cue that they’re attracted to you.
