Does she like you? (Picture: Getty)

So you have a crush on someone. You want to know if they like you back. What do you do?

There’s the casual Twitter stalk, to find out if they’ve ever posted a suuuuper subtle tweet about liking someone that matches your exact description. They have not.

You could ask a friend to ask them. But you risk embarrassment and the shame of having a friend turn you down on your crush’s behalf.

Looks like you’ll need to look for the ‘signs’. The signs that they’re secretly into you, and want to get married asap.

This video from Casually Explained has got you covered. Here’s how to know – for… Read the full story

Yes, this is probably the vainest dog you’ll ever see.

Ivy Park is a 200-piece sportswear collection created in collaboration with Arcadia boss Philip Green. It’s not a collaboration with another label though, just to be clear.

This is all Bey.

BB8

Forget all Princess Leias and Harley Quinns, this how you win at Cosplay.

Eight-year-old Kayla Miyamoto showed everyone how it was done in her adorable BB-8 costume – complete with orange Crocs – which won over the crowds at the at Wondercon2016 in LA last weekend.

Just like the loyal little robot ball who rolled around after Rey in The Force Awakens, this little BB-8 is pretty unfazed by the cameras and the kid alien who comes and hovers menacingly in front of her.

In the cute clip shared by YouTuber Red Planet, Kayla just gives the mini-alien a casual thumbs up and smiles.

Mother doesn’t recognise her own son approaching her in supermarket after he shaves his beard off

Let’s face it, with the amount of guys growing their beards out over 2015, it’s likely most of us have forgotten what they look like with a clean shave. 

We probably wouldn’t expect to forget so much that they become totally unrecognisable without their facial fuzz, though.

But for one mother, this was the exact situation after her unknowingly bumping into her newly-shaved son, Dan, in the supermarket.

‘Bumping into’ is probably too strong a phrase though, as he practically forced his way in front of her many a time before he was rumbled by his girlfriend.

As the mother attempted to shop, her son frequently barged in front of her, making sure she was unable to grab the items she wanted.

Look. We don’t fake our orgasms often, and we definitely don’t encourage anyone else to do it.

But sometimes it just has to be done.

They’ve been trying to get you off for what feels like hours. They’re the type of lovely person that won’t finish until you do. But for whatever reason, it’s just not happening.

And you’d quite like to hurry things along a bit so you can have a cup of tea and get back to your book. Is that so wrong?

A groundbreaking design company is allowing kids to create their dream prosthetic limb.

KIDmob is a non-profit, mobile, kid-integrated design firm who is asking the question: ‘What happens if we address a missing limb as a blank canvas rather than a disability?’

The company organised an event called Superhero Cyborgs, which brought children together with 3D design specialists and augmentation experts to create unique prosthetics that would turn each child into a kind of superhero.

They invited six children in need of prosthetic limbs to design their own ‘superhero’ prosthetic. The kids were invited to let their imaginations run wild to create anything they desired.

Let’s be honest, most girls have an idea of what makes the ‘ideal penis’. 

Sure, it may not be something many tend to think about – but everyone that’s had sex with more than one person can definitely tell whether they found one more aesthetically and physically pleasing than the other.

And no, it’s not something that guys should feel bad about – it’s just like someone preferring bigger breasts to smaller ones or vice versa.

But, to give those interested a little insight, a group of porn stars came together to talk about what their ‘ideal penis’ was. Because, let’s face it, they know their stuff.

A new messaging app reckons it can actually keep your ‘private’ messages a secret

A new app called Privates! is attempting to save you from people sharing extremely private pictures or messages all over the internet. 

Making sure it is a lot more difficult for people to save or even screenshot your messages (sorry, Snapchat), it’s the best way, the app says, to have a private conversation without the fear of going viral against your own will.

There are a lot of security measures in place, which can be added one by one or in any combination:

  • Your received message can be hidden from the screen until you tap vigorously at the screen
  • Motion security asks you to hold the phone perfectly upright to see the message
  • Facial recognition so only the face you intended to see it can see it

The uses of this app are insinuated in the advert title: there will be a lot of sexting which they hope won’t be shared.

Iceland%27s Frozen Therapea face mask

A brand new beauty product harnesses the secret power of frozen peas.

Makers say the so-called Therapea face mask will transform skin thanks to peas’ high antioxidant content.

The simple yet revolutionary mask will be sold exclusively in Iceland as the retailer branches out into health and beauty.

It comes in a £1.99 sachet and promises anti-ageing and hydrating results.

‘Nutritional value is not the only quality that peas posses,’ says a spokesperson.

‘They’re rich in vitamins A, C and B6 as well as zinc, so can play a key role in the regeneration of collagen, the substance that gives our skin its firmness and elasticity.’

Iceland has sold peas since the 70s and is now expanding into beauty after discovering the food holds secrets to youthful-looking skin.

Now they want to offer customers more ways to age well for less.

We thought the Suvet, aka the duvet suit you can wear to the office, was a giant leap forward for lazy people.

But, that’s until we heard about the La-Z-Wash, a new concept by the people behind the famous lazy boy chairs.

It’s a car wash for humans. As in, you don’t have to bother washing yourself anymore. Just get this automated shower system installed and the jets and shampoo/conditioner/body-wash dispensers will do all the scrubbing for you.

You just strip off and stand in the centre of the cubicle.

Sure.

New research has apparently revealed that Britain is a nation of morning people.

Either that, or we’re all lying to ourselves.

Putting skepticism aside for a brief moment, a poll of 2,976 Brits conducted by Hillarys found that 72 per cent of Brits considered themselves ‘liveliest and happiest’ in the morning.

Seriously. Who are these people?

Well, the south-west, south-east and Yorkshire & Humberside regions feature the highest concentration of morning people, according to the survey.

They’re like an adorable giant furry version of the Mitchell brothers.

When Californian couple Joshua Fisher and his wife Bee decided to adopt a pair of dogs to keep their three little boys – eldest Lenox, 3-year-old Cruz and 8-month-old Tegan – company, they opted for a couple of heavies.

The family, who live in Long Beach, adopted one-year-old Newfoundland dog Ralphie in 2014, but soon decided one minder wasn’t enough and, a year later, added one-year-old Boss to the mix.

So, now they have three little boys and two big boys.
