How do you know if someone wants to be your boyfriend or girlfriend?

You might notice signs that someone might be romantically interested in you, like they find ways to spend more time with you, talk to you more, or go out of their way to be kind to you. But these are also the same things people might do if they want to be better friends. To know for sure, you’d have to ask if the person wants to be friends or if they want to have a romantic relationship.
