Quiz: Do I Like Him?

You’ve checked your phone for the third time this evening. He texted “ok,” and you’ve spent the last ten minutes analyzing what exactly he meant by that. Your friend rolls her eyes and asks: “Wait, do you have a crush on him?” And you don’t know. Seriously, you don’t know. Sure, it’s nice talking to him, but that doesn’t mean… or does it?

Sound familiar? Then this quiz is for you. It won’t give you a definitive answer (no such thing exists), but it will help you sort through what’s going on in your head.

What Does It Mean to “Like” Someone?

Let’s start with the physiology, because having a crush isn’t just butterflies in your stomach and dreams about your future together. When you like someone, your brain starts producing a cocktail of dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin. Dopamine is responsible for pleasure – which is why you smile when you see his name on your screen. Noradrenaline makes your heart beat faster when you meet. And serotonin… well, it actually drops, which is why you can’t stop thinking about him.

But chemistry is only half the story. Attraction manifests in actions. You start noticing details: how he laughs, what songs he listens to, what he orders at cafes. Your brain memorizes information about him with the same diligence as a student cramming for an exam. Except this happens automatically.

Important point: attraction is different from habit. If someone is just in your life and you’re used to them – that’s one thing. If the thought of him changes your mood, makes you want to look better, or you catch yourself telling your friends about him – that’s something completely different.

Why Do You Need This Quiz?

Because we’re all excellent self-deceivers.

Sometimes we convince ourselves that we like someone because “it’s about time,” “all my friends have boyfriends,” “he’s a good person,” or “we’ve known each other forever.” And sometimes it’s the opposite – we deny the obvious because we’re afraid the feelings won’t be reciprocated, or we just don’t want to complicate our lives.

A quiz is a structured reality check. A set of concrete questions that force you to look at the situation honestly. Not “listen to your heart” (it can lie), but analyze the facts: how you behave, what you feel, how your life changes when he’s in it.

This isn’t a psychological test, it’s just a tool for self-analysis that helps bring to the surface what you probably already know but haven’t dared to admit to yourself.

The Signs the Quiz Is Based on That Give Away Your Feelings

The quiz analyzes five main markers that pretty accurately indicate attraction. Let’s break down each one.

1. Change in Behavior in His Presence

This is the most obvious sign that, oddly enough, we often don’t notice in ourselves. When you like someone, you start controlling your actions: you monitor your posture, laugh differently, choose your words more carefully. Or the opposite – you become more animated, talk louder, gesture more.

Pay attention: does your voice change when you talk to him? Do you use more humor than usual? Do you try to seem smarter/more interesting/funnier? If yes, then your subconscious brain has already made the decision – you like him.

2. Physiological Reactions

Your body can’t lie. When you see someone you care about, a whole cascade of physical reactions occurs: your pulse quickens, your pupils dilate, you might feel slight nervousness or even trembling hands. Some people feel warmth in their chest, others – lightness in their body.

Check yourself: do you get nervous before meeting him? Do you pay attention to how you look when you know you’ll see each other? If you spend half an hour choosing a t-shirt for a “casual encounter” – I have news for you.

3. Frequency of Thoughts About Him

If someone regularly pops into your thoughts for no reason – that’s a serious signal. Not because you’re discussing a work project or planning a meeting, but just because. You remember his joke in the middle of the day. You see something funny and think: “I should show him this.” You hear a song and remember how he hummed it.

Our brain constantly processes tons of information, and it highlights priority objects of attention. If someone constantly “pops up” in your head – it means your brain considers them important. And usually those we care about become important.

4. Shift in Priorities

This is a subtle point. When we like someone, we unconsciously start adjusting our plans to intersect more with that person. We agree to events we’d usually skip. We choose routes where we might run into them. We postpone things if there’s a chance to meet up.

Ask yourself honestly: have you canceled other plans for him? Have you changed your schedule to meet? If even in small things he becomes a priority – that’s an indicator.

5. Reaction to His Interaction With Others

Jealousy is an unpleasant feeling, but very informative. If it bothers you to see him talking to other girls, if you catch yourself analyzing his relationships with female friends, if you get irritated when he gives someone else a lot of attention – congratulations, you care.

This doesn’t mean you should be toxically jealous. But slight discomfort at the thought that he might be with someone else is a natural reaction when you like someone.

Types of Results You Can Get From the Quiz

The quiz analyzes your answers and gives one of several result options. Let’s break down what each one means and what to do about it.

• “Just an acquaintance” – if most signs don’t manifest in you, chances are this is just a pleasant person in your circle. Maybe you were looking for attraction where there isn’t any, because “it’s time” or friends were hinting. Well, at least now it’s clear.
• “Mild attraction” – there’s interest, but not critical. You enjoy talking to him, maybe slightly more than with others, but it doesn’t occupy all your thoughts. Kind of middle ground – not friendship, but not a crush either. It could grow into something bigger, or it might stay at the level of a nice acquaintance.
• “Definitely like him” – classic case of attraction. Most signs manifest in you, and you probably already felt it, just didn’t want to admit it to yourself. The quiz simply confirmed what you already knew somewhere inside.
• “Serious crush” – if the quiz showed maximum points across all parameters, well… hello, infatuation. This is that state when a person occupies a significant part of your thoughts, appears in playlists and random associations. The brightest, but also the most unpredictable story of all possible ones.

Basically, the quiz is entertainment with a dose of self-analysis. It doesn’t decide for you and doesn’t give instructions, it just helps structure what’s spinning around in your head. And then – we’ll see what happens.
