Patterns Matter More Than Single Actions
One compliment does not mean much. One delayed reply does not mean disinterest.
What matters is consistency.
If someone regularly checks in on you, remembers what you care about, and makes small efforts to stay connected, that’s information. Not proof, but information.
People who like you tend to show up in predictable ways. They notice when you are off. They adjust their behavior around you, sometimes unconsciously.
Psychology research consistently shows that attraction reveals itself through repeated attention and responsiveness, not isolated gestures. Humans are creatures of habit. Interest leaks through those habits.
Ask yourself this instead of analyzing moments: What do they do most of the time?
