Alright, so I’ve been on this whole journey trying to figure out if my football crush likes me or not, and let me tell you, it’s been a rollercoaster. I decided to actually put in some effort and document everything, so here’s how it all went down.
Phase 1: Noticing the Little Things
First off, I started paying way more attention to his body language. Like, it’s a classic move, right? Does he look at me? Does he not? So, I began by observing him during games and practices. I noticed that he’d make eye contact with me more often than just a casual glance. And it wasn’t just a quick look; it was like a solid, few-second stare. Not gonna lie, that definitely got my heart racing a bit.
Phase 2: Testing the Waters with Eye Contact
Next, I decided to be a bit bolder. I started holding his gaze when we made eye contact. I wanted to see if he’d look away first or if he’d hold it too. Most of the time, he held the eye contact, and sometimes he even smiled a little. I remember one time I held eye contact with him for like 5 seconds which is quite long! We held the gaze until one of his teammates called his name. Okay, that’s a good sign, I thought.
Phase 3: Observing His Interactions
Then, I moved on to watching how he acted around me compared to others. Whenever we talked, he would lean in closer, like he was genuinely interested in what I was saying. I also observed that he tried to be touchy recently, like high five or fist bump after each game, and sometimes he would grab my shoulder to say goodbye. All these things seemed to be new things he did to me.
Phase 4: The Smile Factor
Another big thing I picked up on was his smile. Every time he saw me, his face would light up, and he’d give me this big, genuine smile. Not those fake, polite smiles, you know? The real, “I’m actually happy to see you” kind of smile. That’s when I really started thinking, “Okay, maybe there’s something here.” He always has this awkward grimaces when he sees me, maybe it was nervousness? I’m not sure.
Phase 5: Communication is Key
I also paid attention to our communication. He started reaching out to me first more often, texting or messaging me about random stuff. It wasn’t always about football, which was interesting. He would text me good luck before each game I attended, and check up on me to see if I got home safely. Sometimes he would be a little cold, but most of the time he showed lots of passion when he talked to me. It felt like he was actually putting effort into keeping the conversation going, which is a huge green flag.
Phase 6: Putting It All Together
So, after all this observing and analyzing, I came to the conclusion that yeah, there’s a pretty good chance my football crush likes me back. All the signs were there: the prolonged eye contact, the leaning in, the genuine smiles, the initiation of physical touch, and the consistent communication.
The Final Verdict
It’s still early days, but I’m feeling pretty confident. I might make the next move, and I will try to document the process. Or I might just enjoy the thrill of the chase for a bit longer. Either way, this whole experience has been pretty fun, and I’ve learned a lot about reading the subtle signs of attraction.
I mean, who knew watching someone play football could turn into a full-blown investigation? But hey, it’s all part of the game, right?
