You know you don’t have to wait to ask out that cutie in
your chemistry class, but the tale becomes much more romantic when he’s the one doin’ the dirty work, right? Never fear,
girl, ‘cause there’s always a way to get your dreamboat to make the first move.
Here are a few tricks to get him beggin’ you to be his date.
Let him
know you’re available
This No. 1 step is an absolute must. Often, a guy won’t ask
out the girl he’s been eyein’ in the halls because he’s not sure if she’s even
interested. So the next time you see your boy, subtly mention that you’re still
on the market. Make it crystal clear and he’ll come callin’.
Ask him
about his plans
The next step is to know what his plans are for the big
night. Don’t be too direct and ask him if he’s already got a date for the
dance. It might make him a bit uncomfortable. Instead, play it cool. Ask him
which friends he is planning to go with or what he’s doing for dinner. Once you’ve
slipped into comfortable conversation about your plans, he’ll feel more at ease.
Start
dropping hints
Now that you’ve initiated some friendly banter, start
planting hints so he’ll know that you want to be the one on his arm. Not every
type of hint will work with every guy, so experiment. You’ll quickly discover
what works and what doesn’t.
#1 – The joke: Playfully joke around about you and he going
to the dance together. It might seem like child’s play, but it’ll get him
imagining what that date would be like in reality. Score!
#2 – The compliment: Haven’t you heard that flattery can get
you anywhere? Tell him it would be nice to go to homecoming with a guy as tall
as him because the photos will look fab. Touch on his humor, his good looks or
his awesome dance moves.
#3 – The push: OK, chica, this one is slightly more
aggressive. Do your best to make it appear as though the entire school is
already paired up. If he thinks everyone else is attending in twos, your guy
will want to join the trend and find himself a partner. And who better than
you?
Add in
the cool factor
Once you’ve got those hints down, take a step back. Give
your guy some space and let him be. There’s no need to overwhelm him because
he will get the picture, trust me. You don’t want to seem clingy or forceful.
There’s no tried and true method to get your beau baskin’ in
your beauty, but with these tips, you won’t have to worry that he’s clueless.
As long as you’ve done your part, if it’s meant to be… it’ll happen!
