How to tell if the other person is really interested in you?

When you meet someone on an online dating site, it can be frustrating not to be able to understand what he or she is really thinking. Despite many messages (and a few calls) you continue to have doubts about his or her real intentions. Sure, many platforms provide a video call feature, but looking into each other's eyes in real life is a whole other thing. In the following paragraphs we will explain how to tell if the other person is really interested in you.

Body language on a first date

First, let's talk about the date itself. On a personal level, you will not find it particularly difficult to understand whether there is chemistry with the other person the moment you meet them. Face-to-face interaction allows you to understand various things that through chat is impossible to understand, such as the presence or absence of chemistry. Body language is crucial if you are trying to figure out if the other person is really interested, which is why meeting in person is crucial to start building something real. And when you finally date, do you smile at each other often? Do you crave physical contact and feel the same desire from him? Can't take your eyes off each other? Then, in all likelihood there really is an affinity.

Dating and online scams

Do you have doubts about the other person's intentions? Are you afraid that it is a fake profile? Of course, avoiding scams is not always easy. There are some alarm bells to keep in mind, such as asking for money for any reason and asking (often insistent) questions about personal and contact information. But the clues are not always so obvious, so it's good to keep your eyes wide open and trust your instincts as well. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is (Online dating: what are the risks).

Frequency of messages

As a final thing, let's consider chat. If you are always the first to start the conversation each day with the other person, your interest is probably greater than theirs. A person intrigued by you and your manner can usually find a moment to send a message, even if it's just to say hello. And if, in addition to the fact that she never writes first, it also takes several days to receive a response to a message from you, perhaps it is time to turn your attention and valuable time elsewhere.

Before you come to a final conclusion, however, take your time to understand the other person's motives. She may also have doubts about you, perhaps she doesn't know what you are thinking and doesn't want to bother you, or she is just really busy at that time in her life. So before you put a hold on getting to know each other, try to understand the other person's reasons for being distant. Draw your own conclusions only after you have tried to get the full picture of the situation, and remember that there are several other factors that affect a possible relationship development, besides chemistry and how often you chat.
