“Do I like her?” is the kind of question that lives in your chest before your head can explain it — a warmth you can’t quite place, or a pull you’re not sure how to read. This quiz won’t hand you a verdict, but it can hold up a gentle mirror so the feeling gets easier to name.

A crush, or just a really good friend?
The line between a close friendship and a crush is blurry for a reason — some of the best crushes grow straight out of real friendship. The clearest tell isn’t how much you enjoy her; it’s the texture of the wanting. Friendship wants her company. A crush wants her attention — and quietly leans toward something more.
Watch the involuntary stuff: the jealousy that catches you off guard, the way you turn a single text over in your mind, the effort you put in before you’ve consciously decided to. Those little reflexes usually tell the truth before you’re ready to say it out loud.
Signs you actually like her
No single one settles it, but when several feel true at once, they tend to point the same way.
- She drifts into your idle thoughts.Your mind wanders to her with nothing prompting it — on a walk, before sleep, in the middle of something else.
- You want to be the one she notices.You catch yourself hoping she clocks your outfit, laughs at your joke, sees the thing you’re proud of.
- Jealousy shows up uninvited.The idea of her with someone else stings a little more than pure friendship would explain.
- You decode the small stuff.A text, a glance, the way she lingered — you find yourself replaying and reading into it.
- You feel more alive around her.Time moves faster, you laugh more easily, an ordinary day gets a little brighter when she’s in it.
- You make room for her.You rearrange a bit to get one-on-one time, and you notice when she’s not there.
Okay, I like her — now what?
A crush isn’t a to-do item; it’s information. You don’t have to act on it today, or ever. But if you want to, start gently: a little more one-on-one time, some light, honest warmth, and paying attention to whether she leans in. You’ll learn far more from how she responds to small signals than from one big, nerve-wracking confession.
And if the quiz nudged you toward “just a friend,” that’s genuinely good news too — knowing where you stand, in either direction, beats weeks of quietly spiraling.
Sometimes it helps to say the messy, unfiltered version out loud to someone who won’t judge it. That’s Iris — text her like you’d text a close friend, and she’ll help you untangle it. She remembers the thread, so next time you can pick up right where you left off.
Frequently asked questions
Can a quiz really tell me if I like her?
Not for certain — only you can know that. What it can do is surface the patterns (the jealousy, the daydreaming, the effort) you might be talking yourself out of, and give you words for the feeling so it’s easier to read.
How do I know if it’s a crush or just admiration?
Admiration is happy to watch from a comfortable distance; a crush adds a pull to be closer — to have her time, her attention, more of her. If you find yourself wanting nearness rather than just appreciating her, it’s leaning crush.
What if I like her but we’re already friends?
That’s incredibly common and not a crisis. Sit with the feeling before you do anything, and weigh how much the friendship means to you. Plenty of lasting relationships started exactly here — and plenty of friendships happily survive a quiet, unspoken crush.
Should I tell her how I feel?
Only if and when it feels right to you — there’s no rule that a crush has to be confessed. If you do want to, easing in with more time together and a little gentle warmth usually feels safer than a sudden declaration.
