Oh boy, let me tell you, figuring out if a football fella likes ya ain’t easy. It’s like tryin’ to catch a greased piglet at the county fair! But I’ve seen a thing or two in my time, so here’s the lowdown on how to tell if your football crush is sweet on ya.
Eyes Talkin’ Louder Than Words
First thing you gotta watch is his eyes. If that boy keeps lookin’ at ya, and then looks away real quick when you catch him, somethin’s brewin’. It’s like when my old rooster, Hoss, used to stare at a juicy worm – he wanted it bad, but he was tryin’ to be sneaky. So, yeah, eye contact is a big one. If he keeps his peepers on you more than the football game, that’s sayin’ somethin’. And if he is keeping stare at you for longer, that’s a good signal!
Here’s what you should pay attention about their eyes:
- He keeps stare at you for longer than just sayin’ hi.
- He looks away real fast when you catch him lookin’.
- He tries to catch your eye across the room, a lot.
Always Near You, Like a Lost Puppy
Next, see if he’s always hangin’ around. If that football player is suddenly always where you are, like a lost puppy, that’s a sign. Maybe he’s askin’ to borrow a pencil he doesn’t need, or just “happens” to be walkin’ by your locker a lot. He’s just tryin’ to be near ya, bless his heart. It is a clear sign that he is into you.
Body Language, It Ain’t Just Fancy Talk
Now, they talk about this body language thing. Sounds fancy, but it just means how someone stands and acts around ya. If he’s standin’ a little closer than usual, or if his feet are pointed towards ya, even when he’s talkin’ to someone else, that’s good. It’s like how my old mule, Bessie, used to lean towards me when she wanted a sugar cube. She wasn’t sayin’ nothin’, but I knew what she meant.
Listen to What He Says, and What He Don’t
Words matter too, ya know. If that football fella is askin’ you about your day, or what you like, he’s interested. And if he remembers little things you told him before, like your favorite candy bar or your dog’s name, well, that’s like findin’ a four-leaf clover! And if he teases ya a little, in a nice way, that’s usually a good sign. Boys are funny that way.
Here is a list about his words:
- He remembers little things you’ve said before.
- He asks you about your day and what you like.
- He teases you, but in a friendly way.
Does He Make Time for You? More Than Football?
These football players, they love their game. But if he’s makin’ time for you, even when there’s practice or a big game comin’ up, that’s huge. It’s like when my neighbor’s prize-winning hog, Hamilton, took a break from eatin’ to come say hello. He knew what was important! Make time for you is a big one.
He Gets Nervous, Like a Cat in a Room Full of Rockin’ Chairs
Even big, strong football players get nervous around someone they like. If he’s stumblin’ over his words, or blushin’ a little, or fiddlin’ with his football helmet, he’s probably got a crush on ya. It’s kinda cute, really. Nervous is also a big deal.
He’s Protective, Like a Mama Hen with Her Chicks
If another fella starts showin’ you attention, does your football crush get a little jealous? Does he try to step in and be the hero? That’s a sure sign he cares. It’s like when my old dog, Duke, used to growl at the mailman whenever he came near me. Duke was just lookin’ out for me.
He Finds Excuses to Touch You, Like a Hug or a High-Five
Now, I ain’t talkin’ about anything improper, mind you. But if he finds little ways to touch ya, like a pat on the back, a high-five that lasts a little too long, or a “accidental” brush of the hand, that means somethin’. It’s like when I reach out to pet my cat, Mittens. I just wanna be close to her.

He Laughs at Your Jokes, Even the Bad Ones
We all tell a bad joke now and then. But if that football boy is laughin’ at all your jokes, even the ones that ain’t so funny, he’s probably smitten. He just likes bein’ around you and hearin’ your voice. It’s like how I chuckle every time my grandson, Timmy, tells me one of his knock-knock jokes, even though I’ve heard ’em a million times.
This is what you can learn from his laugh:
- He laughs at your jokes, even if they’re not very funny.
- He smiles a lot when he’s around you.
- He seems genuinely happy to be in your company.
He Asks About Your Future, Like He Wants to Be in It
If he’s askin’ about your plans for the future, like what college you wanna go to, or what you wanna be when you grow up, that’s a big deal. He’s tryin’ to see if you two might have a future together. It’s like when I ask my daughter, Susie, about her garden plans – I wanna know if she’s gonna plant enough tomatoes for me!
He is Your Football Crush
Football crush is a key thing. You like him and that makes him special. If a boy likes a girl, he’ll show it in his own way. Just pay attention, and don’t be afraid to show him you like him back. Life’s too short to play games, honey. Now, go get your football fella!
Remember these things, and you will find your football crush really likes you. Good luck, and wish you find your true love!
