Sympathy can be expressed in various ways - it can be through intonation, hugs, care. However, certain changes in communication and even texting habits also indicate the development of sympathy, according to BestLifeOnline.
"Good morning" and "good night" messages
When someone likes you, they often send messages to say "good morning" or "good night." This means that the person is thinking about you as soon as they wake up and before they end their day.
However, there's no need to worry if they don't always send these messages, as the person could be with friends, tired, or their phone might be dead.
Quick responses and keeping the conversation going
Another sign that someone likes you is that they respond quickly. They won't leave you hanging for three hours without a reply - unless, of course, they're busy.
Furthermore, the conversation partner will be thoughtful in their responses to keep the conversation going. For example, they won't send you one-word answers but will ask many questions.
If the communication habits are reliable, it's a good sign for any future dates or plans you might have.
Compliments
Psychologists note that when someone compliments you in a text message, it can indicate attractiveness.
This isn't limited to compliments about your appearance. The conversation partner might admire your sense of humor, knowledge on a certain topic, or your kindness - all of these qualities are attractive.
If the sympathy is mutual, it will help if you notice it and respond in kind.
Flirting with emojis
Similar to compliments, a sign of attractiveness to the conversation partner is when they send you a flirty emoji, like a heart emoji or a face emoji with two hearts in place of eyes.
Planning the next meeting with you
If someone likes you, they're more likely to plan the next meeting with you. The desire to meet you in person rather than continuing to communicate should be seen as a more serious sign of sympathy.
Carefree plans indicate that the conversation partner wants to see you more often without putting too much pressure. This leaves the recipient the opportunity to respond and express interest if they want to further develop the relationship.
