4 Clues that Your Crush is Into You

You see her all the time. She’s the last thought before you fall asleep. She’s the first person you think about in the morning. You’ve replayed your wedding day in your mind over and over again. The lingering sound of her voice speaking your name echoes in your heart. You imagine what her lips must feel like against yours. You wonder how soft her hands might be. 

You imagine what it will be like when you actually meet her. 

Your heart cannot contain the prospect of standing in her presence for more than a few seconds one day. But is she actually into you? Have no fear, Diego Manifisto will make all things clear. 

By now, you must have already found the other essential relationship articles that I have linked below for your convenience (You are most welcome). Anyway, welcome back, and let’s get to it. There is that special girl that you’ve grown obsessed with and you are hesitant to ask her out. What if she’s not the one? What if she’s not even into you? Here’s an even more horrifying thought: What if she is?

I know there are some that will ignore this and “shoot their shot,” as the young kids say. That’s all fine and dandy for them. This article is for the person that hates rejection. This is for the person that doesn’t want to hear from a girl, “Why would I ever go out with you?” This article is to prevent a disaster like that from ever occurring. 

So DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT attempt to ask a girl out unless she has dropped these clues that she is completely into you. Without further ado, let me change your life. 


Clue #1: That One Time She Said “Hi”

I know you love her. I know that she means everything to you. But here’s the bad news: if she has never said “hi” to you, you’re not ready to confess your unwavering love. She’s not into you. However, the first time she says “hello,” you better believe that’s a good, nay, GREAT sign. 

I still remember walking down the hallway at school as Cariña approached from the other direction. Our paths would inevitably cross. My only real objective was to inhale the sweet aroma of her hair in passing. Instead, I was distracted by a thing I had not expected to happen. She looked up and made eye contact with me. I wished I could smile, nod, and say something like, “Hello gorgeous,” but instead I gurgled something unintelligible. A sneaky side smile stretched across her lips and she glided past me. Her voice, like a fading whisper in the packed hallway, reached my eager ears. “Hi,” said she, just before the crowd swallowed her. Just like that, from a silky smooth voice, flowing from her glistening soft lips, came one little word with so much power. “Hi.” 

Need there be any more proof? She was totally into me. What kind of crazy weirdo just greets anybody? That one encounter had enough power to keep my obsession going for at least another month. My friend, her powerful spell was no small thing. So if she says “hi” to you, hang on to that moment with all of your heart. 

Now think about your life.

“Hello,” she says to you.

You can just go for it if you so choose with something like, “I love you. If I cannot have you, I refuse to continue living.”

This is undoubtedly a risky move destined to fail and it’s probably not a good idea to make good on that threat. If you need more clues on whether she’s into you, move on to clue #2.

Clue #2: She Once Spoke Your Name

It’s one thing for that girl to say hi to you. It’s another thing for her to speak your name - out loud - using her hypnotic voice. Do not underestimate the power of your name spoken. The other day I answered a call and the voice on the other end said, “Hello, is this Diego Manifisto?”

I cannot tell you how excited I was to hear my name spoken by this stranger. “Yes, it is, mister…” I looked down at my caller id, “Mr. Likely.” By the end of the conversation, I was on a first-name basis with Scam and since he used my name, I renewed my vehicle’s extended warranty. But pardon my pontification, I digress. That brings me back to Cariña. 

There I was, in geometry, sitting across from Cariña, wondering how I could build off of the first clue she dropped in the hallway. My confidence was soaring and I thought to myself, I will never know if I do not put myself out there.

I stepped up to her before class began and said, “Hi Cariña, last night’s homework was the worst, right?”

I should mention that I barged in on a spirited conversation between her and her friends. She looked up at me with a puzzled expression. “Drago, right?”

I chuckled. “It's actually Diego.”

“Diego? Gotcha.” She turned around and the heads of her friends closed into a tightly-knit circle like a venus fly trap. 

She was my Venus. She was my fire. My desire. 

I couldn't believe that just happened. SHE SAID MY NAME. This was the second clue. If you’ve had a similar experience, things are looking GREAT for you. Two more clues and it’s obvious she is into you. 

Clue #3: She Actually Laughed at Your Joke Once

Some people think that the Office isn’t funny. What horrible existences they must live drudging along and never laughing at anything of substance. What is their idea of hilarity? When Harry Met Sally? That’s right, I just called them old because their humor is outdated. Point is, you can be the funniest person in the world and the recipient might not have a refined palate for humor. If so, forget her. Not my Cariña though. 

I don’t remember the joke anymore but the one I told hit the mark and she laughed. She swung her hand at me and I tried my best to make sure she didn’t miss, but she did. “You’re so stupid,” she said through her giggles. 

If being in love is stupid then yes, I was so stupid.

If a girl ever gets playful with you, watch out. She is probably into you. If she greets you, she knows your name, she teases you, and she laughs at your jokes, then you are 75% in the clear. If you want to layout your lifelong intentions with her now, the odds are in your favor. But I might suggest that you wait for that final clue. 

Clue #4: She Once Touched Your Arm

Have you ever been touched by a woman? On the arm? I have. By Cariña and I was slain. She was electricity incarnate. If my heart meters were down to a quarter heart, she refilled them faster than the Great Fairies of Hyrule. I wanted to take her in my arms and give her a life-altering kiss but as fate had it, we were sitting in U.S. History when this happened. Let me quickly retell how it occurred. 

I had already arrived in class and Cariña sat down next to me. I leaned over and said, “This class is so boring.”

Her eyes grew wide and she put her hand on my arm. “I know, right?”

She might have said something after that, I don’t remember. If your crush has touched your arm, you know exactly what I mean. You can barely see straight and need to go through concussion protocol. 

If you’re rolling your eyes, that’s because nobody you like has ever dared even shake your hand. 

A Clean Sweep

Do you know what a grand slam is in baseball? It’s when you score four runs in one swing of the bat. But let me direct your attention to the 2005 White Sox. Not only did they hit a grand slam in the World Series against the Houston Astros (the 2017 World Series cheaters), the Sox beat them 4 games to 0. That’s called a sweep.

My friend, if these four things have happened, that’s a clean sweep. Act quickly before she touches the arm of some other guy and laughs at his joke and speaks his name with verbal words and greets him in passing. If you are smitten, do not delay.

I’ll always love Cariña. So will her husband of 17 years and her eight kids. 

As always, 

Glean from my wisdom,
