Hook a hottie: How to play it cool


 

Check these out, too...

  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • Book series you've gotta start this summer
  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
Summer’s the season for scorching temps and equally hot guys, natch. But how do you chat it up with that cutie and not come off like a nail-biting, nervous wreck? Don’t sweat it! We’ve got the easy-breezy tips to approach that eye-candy while still looking totally cool.

 

Game on

If you see a cutie on the sand playing beach volleyball, ask if you can join him and his friends. Don’t forget to bring your spiking and flirting A-game.

 

Grill-friend

Nothing grabs a guy’s attention like mouth-watering summer foods. Invite him to a BBQ or weekend bash with your crew.

 

Splish splash

Ask your crush to come with you to a pool party. This is the literal definition of fun in the sun, and the group setting relieves the stress of an individual date. Whew!

 

Dog days of summer

Walk your pooches together. You and your doggie need exercise, so why not multitask and flirt at the same time? And, seriously, what guy doesn’t love dogs?

 

Get stuck in his head

Have him spill about his newly discovered band-of-the-moment and suggest trading playlists. Be sure to add a catchy tune that can’t stop replaying in his mind.

 

The go-to place

The mall is hands-down the best spot to run into the guy who's running through your mind. If you catch your crush in one of your fave stores, compliment his outfit and slick summer style.

 

How sweet it is

See if your cutie wants to walk or bike with you to the local ice cream shop to get a cool treat. Sprinkle on the sweetness and offer a bite of your scoop.

That is great advice and I will remember this for the future because I have already hooked my hottie. I am looking forward to this summer and my parents giving me more free time with my bf.

Mod mod mod! I really fell for this amazing guy the first time I saw him. The problem is there's three days of school left, and he probably knows me as 'that one tall girl in my P.E class'. We've only had small conversations, but nothing big and I know that I can hardly muster up any courage to even say hi sometimes. He's two grades ahead of me and leaving the school, but his brother in my grade isn't leaving so I'll probably still see him. I want to make him remember me, because I know it's going to be hard for me to get over him. He's been told I like him and his brother knows. Also, I'm really going to miss him a lot, even though we never talked. I really care about him and I want to at least have a good conversation before school ends and he goes off to meet all the older, prettier girls than me

Hey girl,

If you want to tell him you'll miss him, go ahead! You don't have to directly say you like him, but you can say that you'll miss him and want to stay in touch. And don't worry about comparing yourself to girls in high school or anywhere else, because there will always be girls to compare yourself to, and you shouldn't do that! Just focus on what make YOU amazing Smile

So I like this guy. His name is Harrison. He's my bgf...and my ex. He is super nice and we talk every day. We tell each other everything. Lately I realized I still liked him. We broke up a little more than a year ago. Here's the thing:he likes somebody. He's told me all about it,but he's already been turned down by her before. I really want to date him again but I know he's moving on. Should I tell him how I feel? What should I do?!?!

Hey girl,

If he's moving on, now might not be the best time to tell him how you feel, especially if he's planning on asking the other girl out. Stay friends with him for now, and if things don't work out between them, you could tell him after he's had a little time to cool off and think about things.

MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!
My friend told my crush i like him...after i told her not to. Then he waned her to tell me that heikes someone else but he loves me as a good friend...well thats great and everything but I DO NOT want things between us to be awkward!!!!!!! How can i avoid this!? Its making me so mad that i had to ruin everything because my feelings changed. I hate myself and i feel like our friendship is done.


Hey girl,

Don't hate yourself, things like this happen! Just tell him that you don't want it to be awkward and that you want to still be friends, and he'll brush it off! And you can't be upset with yourself, because you can't control your feelings! It will blow over, trust me Smile

Modmodmod ok so i've had a crush on this guy since winter and now summer is literally like 4 days away and i don't know what to do. recently we've been talking alot during class and sometimes when he sees me he says my name in this weird voice(thati think is cute) and if he's walking around with some of his friends before school and he see's me he always stops and says hi. Any advice?

Hey girl,

He might like you, or he might just want to be friends. Either way, there's no harm in telling him you want to keep in touch over the summer, even if it's just as friends! That way, you can still text or email, and who knows what will happen when you get back to school in the fall Smile
