Like-Like

Hello!

So, I know I haven't posted in a while, but I've been a little busy and I have an exciting new theme on the way (I will not say anymore just yet :D ). And, I've been thinking; maybe I shouldn't post just about my life experiences and treat this blog like an online diary. I want to be here for you, and myself, too, but it's here so we can share and express ideas and just... hang? ~ but that's beside the point.

This blog post is all about double words. Well, not really... Have you ever talked to someone and repeated your words to add emphasis? For example...

"Hey! How was your lunch?"

"Oh, it was good, but it wasn't good-good, ya' know?"

This means that the lunch was good, but it wasn't great. So, almost amazing, but not quite. So, when a friend asks,

"Do you like-like him?"

What's your answer? Now, considering that like-like is the verge of love, and like is a school yard crush, what would you grade your crush? I, honestly, would grade my previous crushes as like-likes. They say that you can't really be in love until you've liked someone for 4 months, and to be honest I think 4 months is a little short.

See, I'm weird, like weird-weird (see what I did there?). I obsess over anime and hot boy superstars and yaoi (please research, I don't wanna have to explain *hides*) and lots of little things that no one cares about. I like to think I'm quirky, and I'm lucky to have friends that are just as quirky as me, sometimes! And that always makes me think guys will never love me :/

I did some research... A teensy bit ok WikiHow generic advice and my own and friends experience and I have created a little checklist to see if he like-like's you!

• Body Language

He looks at you quite often, makes eye contact with you when you talk, and lifts his eyebrows. If he invades your personal space a little bit, such as leaning towards you when you chat, he is interested in you - but if he's hands on and touchy, step back. That's gross and dangerous -. Just like anyone, check for hands and feet; if they're in your direction, it's a general indication of interest. 

• Eye Contact

So, we've already mentioned this, but there's a little more. A guy who is interested in you will try to catch your eye, or look away suddenly when you look at him. If he maintains eye contact, even after you look away, or he looks at your mouth (If you're younger this could all be weird I'm sorry) he's definitely interested!! Also, one of the biggest things to note when looking at someone, is there pupils. When you look at someone you really like, your pupils dilate, becoming larger.

• Treatment

That subtitle makes it sound like you're sick, but you probably are if you're reading this (love sick, don't get the wrong idea!)... Try and watch if he treats you differently to the rest of your group. Does he still lean closer to them when he talks to them? Does he keep eye contact? Does he speak the same way? Noticing little things like this will help you work out whether he is into you or not. Be aware, he may flirt with other girls to get your attention.

• Your Interests = His Interests

I'm so glad that this is a thing (*crosses fingers, toes, and eyes and everything else crossable*) If a guy notices something you're interested in, he will want to get into it too, so he will ask you things such as, "Which is the best?" "Where can I get some?" I am so glad that this is a thing! Did you read what I said earlier about anime and tumblr? Oh my, Oh my, my heart.

• There's Lot's More!!

TBH, A lot of the information I got was from here! So read it, it's got heaps more to read.

I hope this was helpful, and if you have any questions, leave a comment or send me an email!!
