How to get a BF this year

  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
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!
ok so i like this one guy and he kissed me in the first grade, but i started to like him again this year and we have been hanging out and he says hey to me a lot in the halls and the other day i let him use my kindle and i taught him how to use it and i leaned in close and of corse he didn't care, but point is i don't think he likes me and my friends say move on and forget him but i can't.Any advice?




Hey babe,

You should totally be friends with him - it sounds like you like the person that he is, and that you get along really well, so why totally cut him out of your life? But it's also smart not to focus totally on him. It's good to get involved in a new activity or commit extra time to an old one, surround yourself with besties (aka besties where crushes aren't an issue), and keep your eyes peeled for OTHER potential crush options. You don't have to tell yourself, "Ok. I don't like him anymore. I swear. No more." Because we can't control our feelings sometimes! But you should branch out and search for new experiences/people - that way, your life doesn't revolve around him Smile

MODMODMODMOD!!
one of my crushes (one of my guy friends) has a girl friend, but we were hangingbout at a basketball game with a few of my friends and his gf, but he wud turn away from her and talk to me. one of my friends had accidentally hurt me and we were joking saying it was him and he put his arm around measking if i was alright.......am i just being a big flirt, or am i catching some signs????




Hey girlie,

It totally sounds like he's doing some flirting of his own, but it's possible he just misses being single and wants some contact with another girl (that isn't his GF) for a while. That's totally innocent either way really, but remember that he isn't single right now - he's off the market and you shouldn't be flirting, even if he starts it! Just be friendly and warm, but don't cross that line til he's available again ;)

Recently, a lot of guys asked me out recently. I'm don't really like them, because last year they were all extremely mean to me. They keep pressuring me to answer, and I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to be mean, but I really don't like them. They keep spreading rumors that I said yes now, and if I don't tell them the truth now, I know the rumors will continue. Please help?
