Some people say you can pick up on it when someone has a thing for you. But I don't believe that. You hear people wondering if someone has a thing for them. If they could tell, there would be no need to wonder.
They might think someone shows signs of having a thing for them. And I've picked up on signs like that before. But there is no way to be sure if someone has a thing for you.
Some people want to hide their crush feelings, others don't. So you can't generalize every situation where someone has undeclared romantic feelings towards another.
A pheromone (from Greekφέρω phero "to bear" + hormone from Greek ὁρμή - "impetus") is a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species. Pheromones are chemicals capable of acting outside the body of the secreting individual to impact the behavior of the receiving individual. There are alarm pheromones, food trail pheromones, sex pheromones, and many others that affect behavior or physiology. Their use among insects has been particularly well documented. In addition, some vertebrates and plants communicate by using pheromones.
I think you can usually tell unless the person is very socially withdrawn. There's all sorts of visual cues. Facial expressions like this probably means they really don't care for you but this one is at least a sign that they're friendly. A person's body language can communicate a great deal of information even if they don't have much to say. I think it's almost always something you can pick up on. Of course if you're the one who has the thing for someone you've got to be a little bit cool and not overdo it. Drooling or grinning like a donkey probably won't win over anyone's affection.
Even if you pick up on signs that they have a thing for you, how do you know if they really have a thing for you or if they're just being friendly?
The only way to be certain if someone has a thing for you is if they tell you. But even then, they might be leading you on. Something like that happened to me in 8th grade. A girl spent the entire day pretending she had a thing for me and she gave me a number. It turned out the number was fake.
I've heard people say girls are better at being able to tell when someone has a thing for them, but I guess this question goes for both genders.

If the feelings are undeclared, I'm pretty sure that means they want to hide them. Because if they didn't want to hide them, they would declare their feelings. Right?
My feelings often stay undeclared due to fear of rejection. I think the only times a girl found out I had a thing for her was when other people told her. I don't think I've ever told a girl directly that I have a thing for her. But I wonder if she could pick up on it.
Yes, I've had guys crush on me and I could sort of pick up on it. However, it's only when the creepers did it. The ones who were normal had to spell it out or had someone else spell it out.
