Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Step 1: Keep an eye out for eye contact.Eye contact is one of the most powerful things in all of body language.

    Someone can use their eyes to communicate a lot of things.

    In you're in the same room and you're not talking yet, look over occasionally to see if he's making eyes at you.

    If he's shy, he'll probably avert his gaze.

    If he's confident, he'll usually try to hold eye contact with you.
  2. Step 2: See if your crush smiles at you.
