Signs of Friendly, Non-Flirty Interaction

• Someone might enjoy your company and laugh at your jokes, signaling they like you.
• Lack of flirting or lingering looks might indicate no romantic interest.
• Treating you the same as other friends suggests platonic feelings.

Comfortable Conversations

• Open discussions about personal topics like family or dreams show trust.
• Indicates comfort but may mean no desire to impress romantically.

Physical Boundaries

• Attracted individuals often find excuses for physical contact.
• If they maintain distance and only engage in friendly gestures, romance may not be present.

Discussing Other Romantic Interests

• This behavior reinforces non-romantic social boundaries.

Group Events Invitations

• Indicates value in your company but not romantic interest.

Lack of Jealousy

• Comfort with your interactions with others shows they see you as a friend.

Managing Expectations
