You swear blind you don’t like someone, but your behaviour suggests otherwise. You’ve got your dog trained to do back flips into its water bowl in order to impress someone you apparently think looks like David Cameron? mm…
But what happens when you finally come to the horrible realisation one snack fuelled evening that you DO actually like this David Cameron fella? You obviously begin uncontrollably laughing at how crazy you’ve been acting compared to when you barely knew this person. When you’ve stopped laughing you ponder over these 5 common signs that have confirmed that you do in fact like good ol’ David.
You decipher everything they say – you find yourself breaking down a text like you’re trying to work out The Da Vince Code. You get to a point where even a simple “hello” is suspect and must have some hidden meaning behind it. I mean, why has he JUST said hello? Is he not interested anymore? Is he in a mood? Did he see that you liked Harry’s picture on Instagram earlier? Omg what does this “hello” even mean!!?
You learn everything about them – when you met this person you couldn’t have cared less where they even lived but now you’re pulling out pie charts and statistics of what they like to do in their spare time and when their mum’s best friends son’s birthday is. Breathe.
You keep looking at their profile pictures – when you initially accepted their friend request you barely look at their page. Now you’re 437 pictures into an album you’ve already looked at 5 times this month.
You upload things to social media just to get their attention – Yes he did see the other selfie you uploaded earlier he just didn’t like it. You’re convinced he didn’t see it though so you upload another. Just to make sure it definitely passes through the air waves you submit it to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram; fuck it whack it up on LinkedIn too.
You work out who their exes are – you’re finding various comments and likes and using them to decide whether they contribute to a past fling or not. Whilst doing this you’re carefully dodging the ‘send request’ button like you’re playing a game of minesweeper. Can’t have these girls know you’ve got them sussed..
There’s plenty other antics that occur when we realise we like someone but the above 5 seem the most bizarre and wholly illogical things that happen when the penny drops. Great.
