Could you have a crush that you don't know about?

Think you're 'just good friends' with your best boy mate? Well, you could be wrong. You may fancy him - and here's the real shocker - without even realising it yourself yet.

Check out our top signs that you could be falling for him without even knowing...

You hate every woman he goes out with
Is no one good enough for him? Do you catch yourself slagging off any lady he looks at or goes on a date with, finding any excuse not to like her?

Warning! Maybe you should ask yourself why you feel so protective of your friend. Think about whether you wish you were that woman he was chatting up at the bar last week.

Talking about him all. the. time.
Do you find excuses to squeeze his name into every sentence just to be able to talk about him?

If you think this might be happening, try to count how many times you mention his name during an evening out. Then, take a look at how your friends react; rolling of the eyes and exchanging looks are a bad sign!

Why hasn't he text me back?
He hasn't replied to your Facebook message, Tweet or text and you're feeling a bit annoyed. If another friend was being like this, how would you react? Think they're just a bit busy?

If you care so much about him replying, then you should think about how deep your feelings actually are for him.

Rearranging dates
This is probably one of the clearest signs. Have you ever blown off a date because he's asked you to do something instead?

This is a big 'you like him but don't know it yet' sign; or maybe you do know it, but don't want to face it?

Find yourself nodding along with any of the above? Well, you may need to have a conversation with your 'friend' and to see how they feel.
