How do you know when someone is attracted to you? Or when you’re attracted to somebody? Also, I’m pretty sure the people around me think I’m either oblivious, or just very innocent. Is this because of my asexuality? Does anyone else have this problem?

Which gets me into problems sometimes, but on the other hand I’m not going to stop being myself and connecting w others in fear they are going to be attracted to me. I think aro/ace ppl struggle w this across the board bc we just don’t experience it. We don’t think that way. We don’t think about ppl the same way allos do

I use to have this issue—I can now tell when ppl like me. It’s just a sense idk how to describe it. Just a higher awareness of those around you and acknowledging that ppl do like you that way. I’ve never liked someone so I can’t tell you that. Ppl have told me different attractions feel differently, but they struggle describing it. But apparently some ppl think I am attracted ppl by how I act, but I’m just being myself. I match a good vibe and go with it.

They tend to mimick your behaviors/the way you talk or act. They smile a lot more than the average person when they’re around you or see you. They usually make lots of eye contact or look at you a lot. They try to keep conversations going and they’re not afraid to be close to you in proximity

And ik this is very generalized since not everyone acts the same but what I mentioned is pretty common when it comes to having a crush
