You probably know a lot about your friend's new crush.Talking, texting, and gushing about them all the time is normal, but taking the next step might feel a little scary for your friend.Put on your detective hat and see if you can be friends.You can ask someone if they are crushing on a friend.
Step 1: If someone likes your friend, it is easy to figure it out.
Before you talk to your crush, make sure you get your friend's permission.Walk up to your friend and ask if he is okay with it.They don't feel like they're on the spot if they do it privately.If your friend's crush is too shy to admit their feelings to you, they might say no, even if they don't mean it.
Step 2: If the person is shy, use this option.
If you shoot your friend a text, they might feel better about admitting their feelings.If you have their number, you can ask if they like you or not.You can forward the good news to your friend if you send a text like, "Hey, do you have a crush on anyone?"You can convince your friend to look for someone else if the answer is no.
Step 3: Mention that your friend thinks the crush is cute.
You don't have to tell your friends all their secrets, but you can give them a clue.Say something like: "You probably already know this, but Jessica thinks you're cute."I believe he likes you.
Step 4: Ask if they are dating someone to get a read on the situation.
If they are talking to someone or hanging out with someone else, you can tell that they don't like your friend.Your friend still has a chance if they make it clear that they are single.Say, "So, are you dating anyone?" or "How's the love life been lately?"
Step 5: It is possible that your friend's crush is single.
Ask them a few questions to find out if they are interested in dating or not.Your friend still has a chance if they are open for a relationship.Say something like, "You have been single for a while now."I heard that you and your boyfriend broke up, are you looking for a new girlfriend?Are you taking a break from dating?
Step 6: Someone's type is an indication of who they might like.
They're probably a good match if your friend's crush describes you to a tee.Asking about people they dated in the past will give you a better idea of who they might like.Do you have a type or what kind of people do you usually date?
Step 7: Ask your friend's crush if they like him.
If you want to know who your friend's crush is, ask who they're eyeing right now.You might be a little obvious if you push it too hard.Say something like, "Do you like anyone?" or "Who do you prefer?"
Step 8: It is a good way to find out if they like your friend.
Phrases like that make it seem crazy.While still getting a straight answer from your friend's crush, you can keep it lowkey.If you had to date one of my friends, who would you ask out on a date?
Step 9: The two of them should be set up by a good wingman.
Make sure you check in with your friend.Text your friend's number so they can hang out later.It's a good sign if they say yes.Say something like, "Hey, I could give you Taylor's number if you want it." Your friend might be embarrassed at first, but they will be grateful later on when they get a fun text from their crush.
Step 10: It's a great sign if their crush agrees.
Mention how awesome your friend is when their crush is around.They could be praised for their school work, their outfit, or how kind they are.Something like, "Elaine always wears the cool outfits to school."He is the smartest person in the school.
