Ice Breakers

Mimic His Moves

Check these out, too...

Subconsciously, people who are attracted to each other begin to mimic body language. So pick up on some of your boy's body moves. Does he gesture with his hands a lot? Use your digits, too. Is he playing with his hair or hat? Give your tresses a toss.

Important thing to remember about this flirty tactic? Don't go TOO over the top. Mega-mirroring will just make ya look unnatural and awkward.

TELL US NOW! Got an excellent icebreaker? Give GL the scoop! Choose the blue SUBMIT YOUR OWN button below and let us know all about your fab flirting techniques.

I was in science class and the girl next to me was talkin bout how she made out wiht a guy in wal mart. Later I was talkin to my crush about a banquet we have to go to for football and cheerleadin and he said I think we should meet at wal mart before. Was he hinting he wants to kiss me or was he just being a perv?

Hey girl! He might have been, but I am not sure. You should talk to him and ask him why he wants to meet there.

i flirt with like 10 guys you know just for fun but i just want to actually date one of them, not just keep flirting and meaning like nothing to them you know? how can i move along a few steps with one of them?

rupertgrintislife on 1/2/2010 7:06:04 PM

Thanks Megan R! I don't really like him that much. It just botters me cuz it kinda look like he was mad at me or something.

I met this guy at church school when I was in 6th & he was in 7th.3 days later he came to my locker at reg. school & asked if I was the girl he met at church & 2 days after he asked me for the hw which was weird cuz I saw him wrote it down.After that wk. he didn't really talk to me anymore cuz he had some issues w/my church friends.Some of my friends said he stares at me a lot.At reg. school, we both have 1st period PE(dif classes). Somehow I got hit w/ a basketball, tennisball,volleyball, frisbee,& paper airplane(cancer fundraiser)all coming from him & his group of friends.They're pretty athletic so I don't think their aim is that bad...Anyway, I'm a HS. freshman now & I see him at the HS sometimes. Last Thurs. I was w/ my large group of friend & he and I both saw each other.I said hi & smile at him, but he turned around and looked at me like he doesn't know who I am.One of my friends even asked if I actually know that guy.I talked to him last yr. so he probably didn't forget whi I'm. Do you think he like/d me? Why is he ignoring me?

Hey girl! Maybe he didn't recognize you or had something in his eye. If it was one random situation, he may have been caught off guard because he didn't expect to run into you. Next time you see him you could say "hey" again, and if he ignores you then forget about him! He's not worth it if he's going to ignore you and not treat you with respect. There are other guys out there who will be interesting, make good conversation, and will share a mutual attraction with you.

REALLY WORKS! TRY IT OUT!
1. Say ur name 10x
2. Say ur mom's name 5x
3. Say ur crushes name 3x
4. then paste this in 4 other spots, if you do this your crush will kiss you on the nearest friday!

hi, so there is a guy i like i know he likes me too so its not a does he like me ?. but what should i do about it i mena my school doesnt have dances, and im only 11 so dating is most likely out of the ? because well im 11 and my parents wont let me.

Hey girl! Well, just be friends if dating is out of the question. Hang out with him at school. Join some clubs together in order to get to know eachother better.

MODMODMOD At the beginning of the school year at a new school, I sat next to my crush in 1st period (he was the only one I knew then) and two other guys. one that sat across from me, just stared at me. and I mean he really STARED. Every day. If I looked back for like 2 seconds he'd start laughing... He'd also try to steal my backpack from under the table. He soon said after like 3 days I should date my crush... and he said it like 3 times, but contunued to stare at me and steal my stuff. He kinda seems like he flirts with other girls in that class, too, so I really don't know what to think about him! What's his deal?

Hey girl! He may just like hanging out with you or think you're fun to flirt with. Try flirting back or getting to know him better before you make any decisions about him !

Ok so I like this guy lets call him DL... I have liked him for over 1 year. I like him alot! I have heard from my guy friends that he likes me! Also, my friends asked him! So, I have been dropping hints, like asking who he likes, and flirting alot! But he doesn't understand! I need HELP! I want him to be my bf soooo bad!!!!

Hey girl, why not try asking if he'd like to go out sometime -- maybe to go bowling. Then see where it goes from there. Sometimes doing something one-on-one will give you all a chance to see where you really are.

When a guy gives you like a hello hug, or when he sees you, what does he mean? Is he happy to see me? Because there is a guy I like who goes to my youth group, so I only see him like once or twice a week, but he is always sure to come over and give me hug.

what do you think?

Hey girl! He could be giving you a hug because he misses you or because he wants a chance to get close to you. You should try to talk to him more and see what happens.

MOD!! MOD!! Okay, well, I've liked the same guy for almost four years now and he recently told my best guy friend that he thinks i'm a cute girl and that i have a good personality. and my best guy friend told me that for him (the guy i like) those are some good things. the problem is, this guy i like is a flirt. so i'm thinking he could've said this about any girl he knows. but the night before at one of our high school football games, he let me sit next to him and hold onto his arm while he rested his head on my shoulder. so is he into me? help!! sorry this is so long :\

Hey girl! He might be. You'll have to find out from him to know the truth. Even if he is a flirt, he might like flirting with you the best so try not to let that get to you too much. Flirt back and try getting to know him better to feel out what kind of feelings he is having!

This is hard for me because i eat at the umm *popular* table during lunch. i can eat in front of anyone outside of school and i eat *a lot* so anerexia isnt it. I dont know wht 2 do becaus ei look stupid staring at my food during lunch.. do have any tricks or anything tht doesnt in volve like therapy tht i can do??? thank you!!!!

hey girl! It sounds like you're just nervouse about spilling or being clumsy around the "popular" guys. Try bringing some less messy food to lunch. But really, don't worry. Take a deep breath, and relax. Guys like a girl who is natural, relaxed, and fun to be around anyways. And what's the worst that could happen? Everyone is clumsy every now and then. A little spill is no big deal. Best, Kristen <3

omg ha lol my crush does this weird thing where when he gets bored in french class; he moves his shoulders back+forth and his left and right are going diff. ways lol(?)
now if i started doing that it would b obvious... lol

lilmssunshine on 11/14/2009 3:16:54 PM

Ha, this made me realize I kinda do mimic things my crush does...He started patting my shoulder when he said hi to me, so I started doing that to people too. Not because he did it, but just because that's what felt right to do. Funny how people's minds work.

kazthespaz on 11/14/2009 2:23:18 PM

My crush sometimes is really friendly with me and smiles, talks, and makes eye contact with me, but then other times he will not talk to me or look at me at all. What's up with that? Like today at our practice (we both play tennis) he was smiling and making eye contact, but then afterwards when he was talking with one of our coaches and her daughter (one of my friends) he wouldn't look at me or talk to me, but he would talk to and smile (I think) at my friend. I am just so confused, sometimes he acts like he likes me then other times he doesn't. Thank you for your help and sorry this is so long!!!

Hmm that's frustrating! Boys are so confusing! He may just want to be friends, but if he completely ignores you then he's not worth your time. It sounds like he may be interested in playing the field and flirting with multiple people. If this is the case, it'd still be cool to keep him as a friend, but try meeting other guys out there and chattin with them too!

Its really weird we always end up sitting next to each other and sitting the same way. And its not on purpose! The other day Chris was kicking my chair and i looked down to see if he would stop and he didnt. I looked up at his face and he kind of looked away and smiled and said ohhhhh. Sorry. I was wondering if you could help me. And this isnt the first time he has done something like this either! I really want to know if he likes me. Thanks!

Hey babe, I would just try to talk to him more and get to know him better. If he does like another girl then there's not much you can do about it. You deserve a guy that likes you just as much as you like him! Talk to your friends, they'll be able to help ya out!

Hey girl! Just try to initiate convo between your dad and your bf. Bring up things they both like (sports, food, etc). They will take care of the rest! Dont be nervous! If you like your bf, I'm sure your fam will too!

mod! omg on thursday my crush walked me to my bus even tho he passed his. we were walkin and talkin and my bff got on her bus and den i saw my other friend and ran 2 her. he passed us and den i saw him lookin 4 me so i went up 2 him and we started talkin. he passed his bus and his friend called out the window: cash the bus is right here! and he was like: ok hold on a sec and walked w/ me 2 mine!!!! the the next day he complimented on my awesome pink fuzzy sox! wat doz dis stuf mean?

Hey girl! It sounds like this guy really likes talking and hanging out with you. He may be interested. Try talking to him more or even flirting a bit to see what happens. If you two get closer, hang out with him outside of school and see how it goes. Things could definitely work out well! best, Kristen

I'm so scared to talk to him! Is there a less scary way to talk to him. BTW he's a freshman and I'm a year younger than him. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!! THNX!

Hey girl! If you ever catch his eye, smile sweetly over at him. Next time you're by him (I know it's scary!) make a comment about mass or just say hi. Over time, he'll notice you when you wave or say hi, making it a lot easier to actually strike up a convo later on. When you feel comfortable, ask him how his weekend's been or tell him about yours. Best, Kristen

fashionluver on 11/8/2009 6:19:12 PM

MOD- i need help! ok, so there's this guy that i know, and apparently, he's liked me since grade 7 (we're in grade 9), and he told me that 2 weeks ago. the thing is, i don't like him back, so i asked him if we could just stay friends and he agreed. but now...he keeps following me around and flirting with me, talks to me a lot about previous gfs on facebook, and gets his little sister to talk to my sister to ask about stuff that i do outside of school. it's getting to the point where it's really starting to bother me a lot, and i'm kind of sick of him. it doesn't help that the guys in our class constantly tease him about getting rejected by me, and that they tell me that he creeps my facebook profile and has secret fantasies about me, disgusting as that might sound. this might sound mean, but i really just want him to go away, because i'm really getting tired of having to deal with all of this-it's taking up all my time

. it doesn't exactly help that he doesn't have many friends either. what can i do? help!! thanks (and sorry this is so long!)

Hey girl! That sounds like a really tough sitch. I would try just distancing myself a bit. You don't have to be mean, just try to talk to him less. When he facebook chats you, don't be quite as friendly and don't chat for as long. If you see him at school, be nice, but show him that you want a little more space by kinda keeping to yourself. In the end, you two will hopefully drift apart a bit. You can also try to introduce him to new friends for him to spend some time with. That way, it'll free up your sched a bit and still benefit him. Best of luck, Kristen

MOD MOD! there is this boy ive known forever and he pokes me hits me(playfully) and hugs me all the time. I hit him back and hug him but what does that mean when he does it? bc i don't like him like everyone is saying he likes me. they say he keeps flirting w/ me and hes a good guy and all but hes really desprate and im not into him like that i want to be friends. what should i do and what does it mean? -heyhey

Hey girl, it sounds like this guy is def flirting with you. You may see him as just a friend, but it sounds like he may want something more. If you just want to stay friends with him, try not to hit and hug him as much. Be a li'l more reserved to show him you're not into him like that. Don't sweat it! Let him know you are so glad you're friends to make sure he understands there's a line in your relationship. Best, Kristen

actually, i did this 2 nights ago at a play. i just met him. when he was reading the playbill, i read mine. but then i noticed that when i wasn't looking a him, if our fingers were up to our chin, it was like we were mirroring each other. my friend wanted for us to meet, so when he brought him to the play, i was happy. he seems to be a nice guy. he put on his facebook status: "__(my name)_____is the best!". could this mean that he's a player or does he actually (maybe) like me?

It could be both, girlie. Get to know him and you'll see ;)

hi so i really like this guy (of course) and idk wheter he likes me back or not but my friends say he does (don't worry i'm not going to do the whole "does he like me????" thing haha).
anyway, prob is i never know what to say to him that's flirty or friendly. i'm trying to be a bit obvious that i like him but i don't want to be too obvious if you know what i mean. what should i talk to him about/do/say?
thank you so much i appreciate it!

-ashley

Hey Ashley! Situations like this can be very confusing. You should try to invite him to hang out in a group setting so it takes the pressure off of you to come up with something to say. Try bowling. That way, you'll have some one-on-one time to be able to get to know him more. It's a win-win situation! Boys sometimes don't catch onto things so easily, so make sure to flirt with him in between bowls, and cheer him on!

Hey missy, you want to wear a more form fitting shirt with that skirt. Try a plain tank top, graphic tee shirt or printed or patterened blouse.

MOD!!! ok. so we have our winter formal (which is called snoball, ha and no i didnt spell it wrong. haha) and i wanna ask this guy that i like to it because its a girls ask guys dance. the thing is, we both know each other and we havent really had a full on conversation. and we havent tlaked enough to call us friends. but i really wanna get to know him. do you think it would be awkward if i asked him? it kinda seems that he likes me too though. THANKS!!!!

Hey chica, nope I don't think it would be akward at all. You ask him to the dance so you can get to know him more. And if you go to the dance with him you'll get the chance to see what hanging out with him is like. I'm sure you'll have fun though!

FrenchHornPlayer1 on 11/6/2009 9:44:56 PM

Hey,
If you really want a guy to know you like him but you don't have the guts to tell him just tell a bunch of other people in your class and eventually the word will spread to him.( This really works, I've been doing it since 2nd grade.)
