Can people really tell if someone likes someone based on...

.. the "I see the way s/he/you looks at you/her/him/me" theory?

I know I've seen it in movies and shows and have read it in books, but if someone's not blatantly staring with a longing expression on their face, can you really tell if that person likes someone else or is it just overconfidence and/or an educated guess?

So, can you tell if someone likes someone by how they look at that someone?

Always 14
Sometimes 31
Rarely 5
Never 3
I'm more overconfident then right 1
It's just an educated guess (I'm not sure if I'm right) 6
I don't try looking but I probably could tell 1
I don't try looking but I probably couldn't tell either way 0
Other (please specify) 0

    A puddle of drool is always the dead giveaway.

    The body language rule says that if they maintain eye contact for at least 4 seconds - they are definitely interested in you :o)

    Body judgement..And energy feel. If you lock eyes with someone long enough to even have the thought of asking yourself if the person has an interest in you...Then yes, they probably have an interest. Sometimes energy plays a role. When you walk into a room and lock eyes with the cute guy across the room and suddenly butterfly's feel like they are trying to climb out your mouth and you look away in bashfulness...Than there was some common energy feel between you too i believe....But ya know there are so many ways to go about it.. Maybe you lock eyes with someone for a while only cause you have a bug on your face something...You never know.. So before approach disappear, go check face in a mirror, and if all is good... Go with the other options ::))

    Your body language can say more than your words most of the time. Your body language is just much harder to hide or fake because it's all natural; you don't think before you move. I think movements are more of a teller than words in those situations sometimes.
