10 ways to get your crush to ask you out


 

Check these out, too...

  • When's the right time to spill your feelings?
Crushin’ on a guy can be hard. And waiting for him to start crushin’ back can be even harder. But never fear! We’ve got a few super easy tips and tricks for you to try on your cutie.
 
Be friends first
When you’re crushin’ on a guy, we know that it’s hard to think of him as just a pal. But it’s important for him to get to know you as a friend before he can get to know you as something more. It might take time, but starting up a conversation with him a few times will totally go a long way.
 
Flash your pearly whites
A smile is a huge sign of confidence. Make eye contact with your crush, and flash him a killer grin. He’ll know you’re friendly—and that’s a good thing! A simple smile might give you the opportunity to walk over and strike up a conversation with him.
 
Don’t be afraid to flirt
If you want him to see you as more than a friend, you’re going to have to flirt with him a li'l. Not too much, because you don’t want to overdo it. But when you’re fun and flirty, he’ll start to see you in a different way. It will always show that you’re totally confident with who you are, which guys totally dig.
 
Change your route
It might be a good idea to switch up your route in the halls so you can pass him between classes. It’s a great way to squeeze in a quick convo and catch up with him. With this in mind, don’t switch up every single route. You don’t want to seem like you’re following him. If you get to see him once a day, it’ll be a sweet treat for you and him.
 

Listen as much as you talk

You obviously want him to know as much about you as possible, but you need to know just as much about him. When you’re chatting with him, make sure you’re not doing all of the talking. Make sure it’s a two-sided exchange!
 
Dress to impress
If you know you’re going to see your crush, maybe spend a li'l extra time picking out your outfit, or do something different with your hair. Don’t go all-out and get too fancy, but doing something different will definitely make you stand out and catch his attention.
 
Hang with a group
Suggesting a hangout sesh with just the two of you might seem like too much to him at first. Try getting a group of your girls together and tell him to bring his guys. That way, you still get to hang out with him, but you get to test the waters first. Added bonus? You’ll get to know his friends and vice-versa.
 
Partner up
If you have a class with your crush, suggest being partners on a project. It’ll be a great way to get some quality hang-time and get to know each other a little more. You’ll get to see how you two work together, and he will too!
 
Get to know his buds

One of the best ways to a guy’s heart is through his pals. It’s always a good sign when a girl can hang out with a group of “bros” and just have a good time. Your crush will see that you’re really down-to-earth and easy to get along with. His friends will get to know you, too!

 
Don’t let the secret out

It’s totally cool for you to let your girls know you’re crushin’, but try not to tell your crush! It might make him feel uncomfortable, and he might still be getting a feel for the situation. If he likes you, he’ll make it obvious when he’s ready. Just keep the friend thing going and he’ll figure everything out for himself.

There is this guy I like. A lot of girls like him but I don't know what to do. Do I hang back or make a move. We have all the same classes together except one. People consider us friends but I want to be more than that! WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!?!?

I really like this guy, but I hardly know him. We were in fifth grade together, but i never talked to him because i thought he was mean. Now we're in eighth grade and he's friends with my friends, but i'm not friends with him. He's really cute, and he's my type, but just seeing him moritifies me, and it would scare me to death to talk to him. I can't even imagine what to say to him, when we've known eachother, for three years, but never talked. How random would it be just to walk up to him and say hi?

Hey girl,

It wouldn't be random if you've known him for a while, especially if you're just saying hi and introducing yourself!

Okay, I'm crushing on this guy who goes to my school but I don't even know him! He's one grade above me and I barely know him! I think I like him because he's cute and popular but I don't know what to do. I'm also not the most confident person in the world so, trust me, if someone gives me advice to just start a convo with him or do the whole 'accidentally bump into him' gig, I won't.
Even if I wanted to try to talk to him, I'm really shy. He's always surrounded by his never ending group of friends (curse his popularity!!!) so I'd never be able to build up the courage to talk to him, much less talk to him in front of his friends.
Next year, he'll go to a different school than me. I won't see him for a whole two years! I don't know if I'll be able to live through that...
My parents also don't know I'm into guys yet so I'm not asking them yet :\
Please help me, I don't know what to do!!

I like this guy in my class and i think he sorta likes me too but i don't know if i should try to ask him out or try to hang with him. Also me and this other girl like him(shes one of my friends) and we promised we would act mature about this and just try to hang with him so he can get a feel for the sitch'. but shes already asked him out like 6 times! And hes said no each time. i want to talk to her about this but I'm not sure how. thanks soo much your advice really helps!




Hey girlie,

First off, I wouldn't talk to her about her strategy (aka her behavior around him) - like you both agreed, just be mature and worry about your own business. Next, take her behavior and learn from it! She's asked him out over and over...and he's said no. So clearly, that's not the best approach. Try talking to him more, doing homework together after school, hanging out in a group, and basically getting to know each other as friends first. Once you're closer, you can flirt, test the waters, and see what kind of vibe you get from him. If he seems flirty back at you, ask him to hang out one-on-one! Take it slow! Smile

MOD! Okay, so I've been crushing on a guy for a pretty long time. He's one of my BGF, but he also knows I like him (his sis told him and so did my BFF), but he never suggests to hang out or do anything, even though we ARE really good friends and he flirts with me. He likes my old friend A, and the other day these mean girls pretended to be his second choice of girl, my BFF Hannah, pretending to ask him out and he said yes. Hannah explained what happened later, but he's depressed sometimes in science, like mumbling to himself and drawing sad faces and people dying on his notes, and I can hardly make him happy anymore. What do I do? I hate to see him sad, even if it IS over a girl.

Hey girl,

It stinks they pulled that prank, and it's nice you're trying to comfort him, but his feelings aren't your responsibility. Just keep being there for him, and hang out if you want, especially if you think he may like you back! When he sees how kind you're being, he'll realize that there are so many better girls out there than the ones who were mean.
