Body language
Look at their body - all in the name of research obviously - they way they act around you can give vital clues to the mystery of whether they fancy you or not. Do they turn their body towards yours, even when you're in a big group? Do they make excuses to touch you, like, all the time? If the answer is 'yes' then they're seriously interested, even though they may not know it yet.

Do they get hot and bothered when you're around? If they blush, stumble over words or just generally come over slightly peculiar, they might as well be wearing a neon sign over their head saying, 'I fancy you. Yes YOU!
Actions speak louder than words
People can be pretty bad at 'fessing up to the person they fancy. You'll have to do some detective work and look out for the (none too subtle) clues. On the plus side, these signs include them lending you their stuff or asking you to hang out with them and their mates. Slightly more annoying signs are them showing off in front of you and teasing you mercilessly. Take it as a compliment, they want you.
It's not their fault your irresistable
They want to know what you're up to 24/7. If you're not around, they're giving their mates the third degree. And when you are around it's a constant blitz of calls and texts. Try not to get too irritated. They just want to get to know you better and check out whether they've got any competition. And in case you were in any doubt by now - yes, they definitely think you're hot.
