How the Crush Quiz Works
The quiz asks 15 multiple-choice questions about your crush's behaviour: how they text, what their body language looks like when you're together, whether they make plans with you, how they respond to teasing, and whether their friends seem to know who you are. Each answer is weighted into a 'likely' / 'maybe' / 'unlikely' scoring matrix, and the result gives you a percentage along with the top three signals that pushed your score up or down.
It's an entertainment tool, not a science one. There's no peer-reviewed 'do they like you' test in the psychology literature; what this quiz draws on is the cluster of behaviours that surveys consistently associate with romantic interest (sustained eye contact, mirroring, initiating contact, prioritising the other person's company). Treat the percentage as a prompt for reflection, not an oracle.
What the Strongest Signals Actually Are
Three behavioural categories matter more than any single tell. First, initiation: who texts first, who suggests plans, who restarts conversations after a lull. People rarely initiate consistently with someone they don't actively want around. Second, time-protection: someone with romantic interest typically rearranges their schedule to make space rather than slot you into gaps. Third, social inclusion: do their friends know your name, do they invite you to group plans, do they introduce you with context (like 'this is X, the person I told you about').
The classic pop-culture signals (smiling more, blushing, finding excuses to touch) are real but unreliable on their own; introverts and shy people often do almost none of these even when very interested. The behavioural signals (initiation, time, social inclusion) are more diagnostic across personality types.
When the Quiz Gives You a Mixed Result
A score in the 40-60% range is the most common outcome and usually means there's genuine ambiguity. They might like you, they might be friendly, they might be in a phase where their behaviour is noisy for reasons that have nothing to do with you. Mixed results are often a signal that you don't have enough data yet, which is fine; it's hard to be sure about someone you've known for two weeks.
The honest move when you get a mixed result is to give it more time and pay attention to the three categories above (initiation, time-protection, social inclusion) over the next few weeks. If you genuinely cannot tell after several months of contact, the kindest thing for both of you is usually a low-stakes direct ask: 'I'd like to take you for a drink, would that be a thing you'd want?'
What the Quiz Can't Tell You
It can't see what's happening in their head. It can't account for the friend who's already partnered, the friend who's just out of a hard breakup, the friend who's neurodivergent and reads as 'cold' to people who don't know them well, or the colleague who's professional rather than rejecting. Behavioural signals work best when you can read them in context, and only you have that context.
It also can't fix the 'they're great as a friend, I want more' situation. If you score 80% on the quiz and they're still saying 'just friends' explicitly, the quiz is wrong about your specific case and you have your answer. Pair this with the [Red Flags Quiz](/red-flags-quiz) if you're trying to assess whether to pursue someone whose behaviour has felt off.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the result?
It's a heuristic, not a measurement. Self-reported observations of someone else's behaviour are noisy, and a 15-question quiz can't capture nuance. The result is more useful as a structured way to notice what you've actually been seeing rather than as a precise prediction. People who get high scores and then ask the person out tend to have read the situation correctly more often than not, but mid-range scores are genuinely ambiguous.
What if my crush is shy?
Most of the strongest signals (initiation, time-protection, social inclusion) work for shy people too, just at lower volume. A shy person who likes you will still text first sometimes, will still rearrange a plan to see you, will still mention you to their close friends. They're less likely to flirt overtly, hold long eye contact, or touch you 'accidentally' in early stages. If you can, weight the answers based on how outgoing they are with everyone else.
What if we only talk online?
The signals shift but most still apply. Initiation still matters: who messages first, who restarts the conversation after a lull, who replies quickly versus letting it sit for days. Effort matters: are messages thoughtful or one-word, do they remember things you said weeks ago, do they share things they think you'd find funny. The quiz works fine for online-only situations but expect more ambiguity than in-person reading.
How do I know if it's flirting or just friendliness?
Volume and direction. Flirting is friendliness directed at you specifically and consistently; if they treat everyone the same way you're seeing in your interactions, that's their baseline rather than a signal. The cleanest test is comparing how they are with you to how they are with their wider friend group.
Should I just ask them?
Often yes, especially after a few weeks of mixed signals. Direct, low-stakes asks ('would you want to grab a drink, just us?') tend to work better than dramatic confessions and let the other person say no without humiliation. The risk of asking and being rejected is real but usually less painful than months more of analysing texts.
