It’s hard to tell if someone likes you online or is just being friendly.
In that case, you should look for signs that an online friend has a crush on you, and he/she carries special feelings for you.
When there is a mutual attraction, it’s easy to tell by their approach to you and their behavior around you.
But, on the internet, how they interact with you… is everything.
