#not for someone in particular
are we friends, or more?
(or unconventional displays of affection and intimacy)
- helping them stay balanced on a subway/bus
- giving them a taste of your meal, with your own cutlery (bonus: by your own hand)
- randomly curating and sharing a playlist that you think they would like
- lending them your clothes
- facing your body towards them in a group of people; even when they aren’t talking
- calling them first when spreading some good news
- talking about your interests unabashedly
- remembering their favourite ice cream flavor (or something equally as meticulous)
- checking in; asking if they’re okay at a busy social event
- pretending to also dislike something they do; just so they don’t feel so alone
- their contact name being formatted differently than everyone else
- running to you when they see you
- knowing their food/drink order
- actually watching something they talked about in passing
- walking them home, especially at night
- trying to like the things that you enjoy, even if they aren’t completely onboard with it (yet)
- talking about them to your friends/family
- asking them how their work/test/class went at exactly the time it ends
- comparing hand sizes
- sending articles to them that are (even slightly) related to things they’re interested in
- being openly defensive of them when others try to put them down
- seeing something in the store that reminds you of them; then buying it immediately
- mentioning them in your journal entry
- asking them about their likes and dislikes, very often and randomly
- telling them you enjoy spending time together
- (bonus: both of y’all doing both of these things but neither of you noticing it smh)
