9 Texting Clues That Someone Likes You More Than You Think
According to experts, text messages reveal the intentions of a person but they also tell you how much a person likes you
Texting is not a good way to communicate, but it all starts with it. Yet if you understand the subtle art of deciphering text messages, you can easily distinguish between the person's crush or friendship when he/she texts you. The type of questions they ask or the emojis they use are the spotting points you should look for to know a person better.
Contrary to texting, it is easy to understand if someone likes you when they are talking to you in person as various factors determine that. According to certified dating expert and counselor, Jonathan Bennett, “This includes vocal tone, facial expressions, physical touch, and other body language indicators.”
But texting can be deceptive, as you can miss or misunderstand the true intentions of a person. That’s why, according to a licensed family therapist Virginia Williamson, ask the person to go for a walk or get a coffee to understand him/her better.
This will provide you an opportunity to read the body language of that person and to check if you can build good chemistry. But before you go for that, here are a few texting clues that tell you that someone likes you more than you think:
They will give you a quick reply
The best thing to find out if someone likes you or to determine if you are their priority is to send them a text message in a busy time. People usually don’t want to text back when they are busy but your would-be-partner will quickly respond if he/she likes you.
According to Bennett, “one of the surest signs someone likes you over text is a rapid response.” When someone likes you, they will be checking their cell phones for your messages impatiently even if they are hell busy. Once you text them, they will quickly respond and will show eagerness to continue the conversation.
They give you a detailed response
The one-word text gives the feeling that the other person is not interested and wants to get rid of the conversation you have with them. So, the person who likes you will never answer you in one-word text. But they would rather write long and detailed messages to you and would probably tell you about their day and even will ask questions about your daily activities and life events.
So, they will engage with you in conversations that they think are important to you. According to Bennett, “Your texting conversations will be deeper and meaningful,” and it will further cement your bond into a stronger relationship.
They won’t keep you waiting
If they are unavailable because of some serious business such as completing the office work within the tight schedule or seeing friends or family, they won’t keep you waiting without informing beforehand. They will tell you that they won’t be able to respond instead of letting you waiting for hours wondering why they suddenly stopped.
They will try their best to not give the wrong impression if they can’t connect. They will never give way to misunderstanding to crop up.
According to Williamson,
“This is an indicator of consideration for you and that again affirms that the connection is important. They may not want you to get the wrong impression if they are out of touch.”
They compliment you
One of the important things that occur during the early days of relationships is that person who likes you often gives you compliments. There are reasons for that, and according to the Newyork based therapist, Kimberly Hershenson, they might also try to test the waters to observe if you like them back.
If someone compliments you and you also like them, give them the kind of response. However, flirting through texting can be nerve-racking at first but don’t worry, go ahead as it tells you more about the person who tends to start a relationship with you.
They use heart emojis
According to Rori Sassoon, a dating and matchmaker expert, sending heart emojis “shows they are adding an extra emphasis on sharing ‘love’” and if you receive heart emojis from the person you think loves you but can’t express it openly because these are the starting days of your would-be relationship. so this is the best sign you should decipher and can respond safely similarly.
Sending heart emojis requires a lot of courage and one can’t send it directly at the starting of the conversations. But if the person who loves you starts sending it after a few days and once he/she gets assured that your response is positive, the frequency will increase over time.
This shows that they are serious about the relation and take care of you.
They show a level of closeness
Sometimes the chitchat goes into deeper and more couple-territory during the exchange of irrelevant conversations like daily routines and hobbies. Once these things are over, they get close by inches by asking questions that are related to sharing past secrets, current worries, or other personal concerns.
According to Sassoon, if the person is taking the conversation to a level of closeness and you also develop trust, it points to the direction that they are in love with you and want to know you more.
They inquire about your safety
One can easily infer the feeling and emotion from the texts which are sent to us because words also carry emotions and concerns. If you are on the way home late at night or going somewhere else, do they text you to know if you are safe?
Another common situation that they show concern is that you are going through a tough time and they text you and making you feel that you are not alone in the situation. If they do this, they have a crush on you and want to convey that feeling through texts.
According to Hershenson, “Obviously you can’t see facial expressions or hear the tone when texting,” but these behaviors and habits indicate their true feeling and concern about you and suggest that you have a very special place in their hearts.
They start and end their day by texting you
According to Randi Levin, a certified relationship coach, you should notice the time of their texting, and most often you are the first person they will text, and again you will be the last person they text to.
“Take note of when someone texts you. If someone is beginning or ending their day with you or showing up repeatedly throughout the day to just say hello, you are more significant to them than you may realize.”
According to Sassoon, these timings are intimate and a person wishes to say “good morning” and “good night” to dear ones when wakes up or going to sleep, which means that you are their priority in life.
They are not content with the texts only
According to Dr. Christie Tcharkhoutian Kederian, if someone is messaging you for a while and want to move past it to meet you in person, this indicates that the person wants to spend more time with you. They are willing to spend their energies, time, and money just to be with you.
So, this indicates that the person is really into you and you should consider a meeting with him/her to enjoy your life.
Understanding text messages provides you with an opportunity to peep into someone’s personality and to look for the concerns they have for you. If you can decipher their intentions from the questions they ask or the emojis they use, you can get a loved one through messages.
If you also like that person, it’s an opportunity you can use to let them know by responding to them similarly. However, these messages can be deceptive and may not mean what you get from them.
It is up to you to find out what the messages mean to you or to them. And you can do that by asking questions or even responding with emojis.
