Things like "I'll dye for you"or "I melt for you" are obvious ways to say that you're into someone, but so is "I'm jealous about you"بغير عليك or بغار عليك (bigheer 3leik or bighaar 3leik). It doesn't mean that you're jealous in the traditional sense (the bad way), or jealous of that person, but rather that you care about them so much that you "have jealous tendencies", so to speak.

Sometimes in Arabic, "I" انا (ana) is used more for emphasis rather than to signify it's actual meaning as a pronoun, as in:

حبيبي انت روحي انا

(7abibi enta roo7i ana)
