How To Reference Romantic Attraction Between Your Characters:
- Person Aโs inability to make eye-contact for long periods of time while Person B is constantly looking into Aโs eyes. (extra points if Person A looks away and blushes)
- Interest Copying (When interested in another person, humans tend to copy that personโs movements, stature, etc)
- Cute nervous ticks while around one another (Dont just use blushing and stuttering! Other ticks exist! Shuffling, fiddling their thumbs, scratching the back of their neck, bouncing their leg, nervous laughter, picking at their palm, biting the inside of their cheek, etc!)
- Remembering little details about one another (How person A never eats the beans on their plate, or person Bโs favorite color, the color of their eyes, where their birthmark is, are they a morning or night person? Bonus points if they figure this information out by observation, not by being told!)
- Constantly smiling or laughing around their love interest
- Confessing their love (but only in Spanish)
