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.

MOD MOD MOD, I really like this boy in my class and i think he likes me back. We both were really good friends in the beginning of the school year but all the sudden he got a little weird. For example our school makes us clean under the tables and he always chooses me to do the dirty work. Does that mean he likes me or just being snotty or he likes me? please answer back, anonymous

 

Hey kely2oo1, mhmm I don't know. He might like you but just doesn't want to do the dirty work. Try talking to him again and see if he's back to normal. Hope this helps! Xoxo

So, I'm 13 and my mom won't let me have a boyfriend. I keep up my grades and it's not like I'm a bad kid or anything like that. Somehow, she's convinced I have a "secret boyfriend" (which I don't) I don't want to go out with a guy without her approval, and she won't give me it. Every time a guy asks me out, I have to reject them because she says no. Now guys have stopped asking me out, even if they like me because they don't want to be rejected, what do I do? I want a bf, but she won't let me have one!







Hey girl,

Ugh, I know how unfair this feels! It's sooo frustrating to see crushes pass you by like this. Try reading this article for some tips to calm down, think rationally, and talk to your parents maturely about this. Remember the golden rule: NEVER whine about it. If you act maturely and prove you're responsible enough to handle dating, they'll be way more likely to see your side <3

Oh and also, how can I get over a really big crush I have? It will never work out( it's a fact). I wrote him a letter and everything so he knows I like him since the first day of school. I really want to be good friends with hima and stop making it awkward. I have his # but he never texts me. I think he is still under the impression that I'm obsessed with him as I was a few months ago..... I really want to text him this weekend and explain I don't like him any more so it will be less awkward, but idk how to say it!!!!! Please help




Hi again Smile

The question is, do you want to get over him or are you over him already? If you want to be friends because you're still secretly crushing on him, it's not a good idea! If you know 100% you're over him, then I think you should text him casually on the weekend saying that you know it's awkward between you guys now but since you're over him, you're really hoping that you could be friends! Good luck!

Hi! Well I have tried all of these things but guys just don't seem to like me. I think I am pretty but now I am finding little things about my self that are bad and only focusing on them. I am funny and kind and I flirt with guys and sometime they do back. Sometimes i do stupid random stuff because im nervous around guys like calling them "dude"I am 13 years old and, well, not very physically mature yet. I have a friend who is a year younger than me and in my class but she is physically mature (very) and one boy even made a comment about how I "have nothin" . I think a lot of boys judge girls on their bodies. I basically would love a boy friend but i just want someone to make me feel special and to have a special connection. There are many boys in my grade (over 300) and I only know half of them. How can I met new boys and flirt with them even if we r in different classes? And also what do you think boys don't like about me? Thanks and sry it soooo long




Hi Girlie,

The first thing a guy notices is confidence and if you like yourself! That's more important than anything else, anyway! You need to stop looking for those small flaws (we all have them, nobody is perfect!!!) and just accept yourself for what you are! Your body will change when the time is right and before that, just focus on all the GREAT things about you: You're pretty, funny and kind, plus you can flirt! Just keep refining these qualities and I promise boys will eventually start noticing you!

Thanks!!

Hey girlie,

Generally, I make it my rule to never go for a guy that my bff likes too.  Especially not without going over with her what she wants you to do in this situation.  It might be that she's all for stepping back and letting you at him.  But you won't know that until you talk to her.

And keep in mind that if this has happened before like you said and it worked out in your favor that she may start to get insecure about it.  I've been there.  It's super hard to not get jealous when your bff managed to get all the guys that you like.

And jealousy isn't something you want in your friendship.
