How to get a BF this year

  • When's the right time to spill your feelings?
Looking to snag your crush in the new year? Not quite getting the attention of that boy across the room? For you girlies with a New Year's resolution to hone your flirting skills, we've put together a list of six no-fail tips. The best part? These are the rules that generally slip your mind.
 
He's just as shy as you are. Walking up and starting convo or making a move on a girl is a real feat for him. By not always forcing him to be the one to do those things, you automatically stand out from all of the rest.

It's all in the body language. The majority of your flirting masterpieces are things you aren't even aware of. When you're genuinely interested in somebody, your body reacts differently on it's own. Oddly enough, his body will pick up on these signals and react the same way if he's into you as well. Next time you see yourself leaning toward him or facing him all the time, just let it happen, chica.

Never close off. There's no bigger stop sign for a boy than when you clam up and shut down. So, those things you do instinctively, like crossing your arms, turning your body away, or not speaking much, are taking you out of the game before you could even cross the starting line.

Work with what you've got. Each girl has a different style to work with. Some of us can really pull off the coy thing, or the best friend thing. Or maybe you're an outgoing flirt or a subtle flirt. Find out what style you do best and master it.

Keep the ball rolling. Flirting is like ping pong game. It's all about the back and forth. You can't have a good game if he's not into it, just like he can't really play without you volleying some moves back at him.

Eye contact. Eye contact is the number one most important rule for grabbing the eye of that special boy. It's enough to spark some intrigue when he catches you holding his gaze from a few seats away. It's enough to get him to lean in for the kiss when you're finally alone. Holding a few seconds of eye contact shows your interest better than anything else. Just don't let it go on for more the four or five seconds, or else he'll start to wonder if he has something in his teeth.

I've had a cold for 2 weeks! Chapped lips, can barely talk, stuffed nose, coughing like crazy!!! How do I get rid of this cold? I've been eating cough drops and drinking water!
Thanks!
~Ava~ 




Hey Ava,

Try taking a decongestant medicine, like Mucinex, Sudafed, or another medicine that suits your symptoms. Head to the drugstore and read the boxes to get the one that is perfect for you. It'll really help clear up the stuffed nose/crazy cough! If the cold persists much longer though, definitely call your doctor to schedule an appointment - you want to make sure it isn't anything more serious that would need an antibiotic!

I think my crush my think I'm scared of him because well...I am, classic nerves. But I don't know what to do. Should this year since it is a fresh start after break. I just start trying to break my shell and talk to him? Or should I just move on? My best friend who is in every class with both me and him said that I act scared of him. I'm just curious if I should try to talk to him and show him I'm not scared and that at that I want to be friends or if I should just drop it and keep acting like I feel - nervous?
Thanks for the help Smile Xoxox




Hey girlie,

Of COURSE you should try to break free of this fear and talk to him! Why would you want to go through life feeling nervous and scared of guys? Instead, tackle this fear early so you can overcome it - and not lose your chance to get to know a lot of amazing guys! <3 These articles have some great tips to help you talk to guys without freezing up. Give them a try and remember: the more you challenge yourself and go out of your comfort zone (aka the more you talk to him, even while feeling terrified), it will get easier!
