7 Things Air Signs Will Do When They're Crushing On You

"Air signs are notoriously flirtatious," Purdy says. "If you can be quippy and flirt back, it’s a fairly solid guarantee that an Air sign will like you." It's worth noting that Air signs have a tendency to lose interest easily. So if you've known them for a while and they're still flirting with you, that's a pretty good sign they're into you.

"No matter the sign, there will always be a desire for frequent communication from them when they like you," astrologer Olga Verk, tells Bustle. You'll know an Air sign likes you when they call you just to talk or send you long texts throughout the day. If you like them back, don't try to play it cool. Be sure to respond. "They lose interest quickly if their crush doesn't feed their hunger for all things intellectual, so it's important to respond if you also have a crush on an air sign," Verk says.

When an Air sign is crushing on you, they'll use their words. "If they like you it will come through in the things they say to you," astrologer Brittany Goss, tells Bustle. "So listen for compliments, even when they're subtly embedded in little jokes."

In order for an Air sign to really start crushing on you, they'll need to connect with you on an intellectual level first. "Good conversation is essential to them," Goss says. So they may ask for your opinion on things like politics, pop culture, or anything that's worth talking about. According to Goss, air signs are the most driven by the exchange of ideas. "This lets them show off their natural intelligence and cleverness," she says. "They also do it because they really want to get to know you."

Air signs can be tricky to figure out because they're naturally talkative and friendly. "They're most comfortable making mental, verbal, and conversational connections, so their intent can be confusing," astrologer Kathy Biehl, tells Bustle. It's easy to mistake their friendliness for something more. But you'll know an Air sign is crushing on you if they pay close attention to to the things you say. They'll try to remember the small things you've mentioned, especially your likes and dislikes. "They'll recommend books, movies, or video games that 'you'll LOVE,'" astrologer Suzie Kerr Wright, tells Bustle. "If you show interest, they'll just be more engaged because then they can tell you everything they know about them."

Air signs may be in their heads a lot, but they're also very fun-loving. "They'll always have funny stories to tell you or they'll come up with fun things to do in order to keep you engaged in their world," Wright says. They'll do these things as a way to get to know you and to see if you get them. If you go with the flow and keep things light and airy, they'll crush even harder.

Liking an Air sign can be somewhat challenging, especially if you want a relationship with them. They can be flirty, in their heads, and distant. But according to Wright, those things won't matter when they really like you. "If an air sign has you in their sights, they will always flit back to you," she says. "They need a lot of space to do whatever they find interesting in the moment. But if they start including you in their conversations, asking for your thoughts about the topics, you've probably got one hooked."
