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.
 
 
Love this post? You'll heart these, too!

MOD MOD MOD!!! My friend obsesses over her crush. She is really mean to him and won't stop talking to him. She always asks me for advice but when I try to give her tips she always gets mad and says I'm so selfish and rude. She is convinced that everyone knows she likes him and the reason for that is she won't stop talking to everyone about him. She is afraid of his whole grade just because she thinks it might make him think she likes someone else. She wrote him a poem and gave it to him!!! She really likes him and I understand that but I think this is a little much. Please give me advice so she won't embarrass herself or anyone else!!!

 

Hey wizpopstars99, you just need to sit her down and explain to her how obsessive she's being. Remind her of all the things she has done, and how crazy she's been. Hopefully you'll get through to her and she'll calm down. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I want to send my secret crush a Valentine's card this year. I'm going to put it in his locker. But how can I make it, and what can I write on it? I don't want it to be too 'sticky'. Should I even write one? I really don't want to be rejected. How can I, if I don't send him a card, express my feelings to him?
Thanks so much!

Hey girl,

A card sounds like a cute idea! You don't have to be too mushy -- it can be as simple as "Happy Valentine's Day!".

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD Help! Dance 2nite and i really like this guy and i want to dance with him! How do i suggest it without seeming to desparate? Thanks so mucH!

 

Hey imasmoothcriminal28, you could already be dancing, and ease your way to where he is and ask if he wants to dance. You could also be very confident, walk up to him and ask him. Hope these help! xoxo
