What's the difference between how a guy acts with his close friend and his crush?

My crush is very close with this girl, I've always thought they had a thing, but recently he has been showing interest in me. I was just wondering if it's normal the way they act with eachother and how do you know the difference between being close friends or being more than friends.

Dang girl, this is always a tricky thing to figure out. With guys, it can be hard to tell the difference between how they act with just a friend versus a crush. But there are usually some differences you can look for:

- With a crush, a guy will probably laugh more at their jokes, listen more intently when they talk, and find excuses to be near them/touch them more. They're usually more engaged and seem happy just being around them.

- Their eyes might linger on their crush longer too when talking or look over at them more. Friends don't usually constantly scan each other like that.

- Crushes come before friends too. So things like making plans, responding to texts/calls, putting in effort - they'll do it quicker for the crush.

- Physical touching goes beyond just friends joking around. Lingering hugs, finding excuses for close contact like helping with something.

- Body language and eye contact will seem more intimate and flirty compared to friends.

So in your case, if he's showing interest directly in you now, that's a good sign! But pay attention to his vibe with this friend compared to you. If he seems warmer and more attentive with you, then I'd take that as him having stronger feelings for sure. Hope this helps- let me know if you notice any differences! Fingers crossed for you 🤞

I will never date a guy who is too close to any girls, I don’t care if that bestie or he just being friendly. It’s red flag for me 🚩
