What to say when he looks your way

Ever get stuck, deer in headlights-style, when you wanna chat it up with your crush?  With a little practice, you’ll never worry about what to say to your cutie.  Check out these 9 examples to work your flirting magic and get your crush! 

 

1. “So, how about last night’s game?”  Keep up with your crush’s fave team and he’ll be totally impressed by your sports knowledge.

 

2. “You look really awesome in that color!” Next time you see your crush, try complimenting him on little things, like that cute haircut he just got or how he got an A on that really hard history test.  He’ll take it as a good thing coming from you.

 

3. “This totally reminded me of you….” Tell him something that made you think of him.  It’s casual enough but lets him know he’s on your mind.

 

4. “What was the homework in English?” Next time you have class with your crush, ask him about that math question you don’t understand.  Even better, if you missed class one day, call or talk to him in person about the material you missed in class. It’s an easy excuse to talk to your crush!

 

5. “Wanna sit here?” Maybe he’s too shy to chit-chat, but simply asking him to join in with your friends will make him feel comfortable around you and want to get to know you better. 

 

6. “Hey, what’s that song?” Next time he’s rockin' on his headphones, ask him what music he’s listening to. Ask to listen to see why he loves it so much (and it’s an excuse to get close to him!).  Try listening to some of his fave songs and artists afterwards for an instant convo next time.

 

7. “So, how was The Amazing Spider-Man?” Want to know a good movie to see? Try asking your crush! Ask him about what he thought of that new comedy movie or if the new action movie was way better. It’s an easy way to talk to your crush and you’ll have a good movie to see!

 

8. “Wanna go for a walk?” Do you see your crush around the neighborhood walking his dog?  Next time, ask if you and your dog could join in! Walking your dog can actually be fun with your crush beside you talking to you one-on-one.

 

9. “So you know my friend!” Is one of your BFFs already close friends with your crush or one of his friends? Ask her to introduce you to him and to see if all three want to hang out. You guys will get to know each other better and it won’t be as awkward with your best friend around. As you two get closer, try hanging out on your own with him.

MOD!!!
I don't know what to do. I think my bgf might like me (and i kinda like him,) but I do not know for sure. He said we should hang out sometime and when I said we should he said "that could work Laughing". Also, I know one of my other friends (I will call him "John") likes me and he got one of his friends to message me asking if I wanted to hang out with John sometime and saying that John would be in town all next week. How can I gently say that I don't really like John without totally crushing him? Also, how can I tell if my bgf really likes me? Thanks!

 

Hmmm, let's talk about your bgf first.  The best way to figure out his feelings are to spend more time with him.  If you guys have fun, the convo seems natural, he seems genuinely interested in getting to know you, and makes an effort to reach out - those are all good signs! Smile  

 

As for John, that's a more tricky one.  If you consider him a friend and think he'd be okay to hang out with, you could always give it a shot (never hurts to have more guy friends!).  But if not, well, then you'll need to decide how blunt you want to be (he probably had his friend ask because he was nervous about your reaction).  You could always let him know you think John is a sweet/fun/nice guy, but there's someone else you're crushing on (it's true!).  That will soften the blow, and is honest.  xoxo

Okay, so im 13.
I have a crush but i cant make any moves because im not allowed to date. I live with my dad. I wanna convince him and my mom to let me date... I mean, im ready for a relationship. The guy i like is 16 though... So i really wanna flirt,, but not only would i like die, id be embarrased when my dad yells NO!... It makes me wanna cry, because i like him so much(i wont say love, its too delicate of a word) I feel like i could fall in love with this guy though... hes so sweet. Hes not the most attractive guy, but hes so sweet . not just to me, to everyone...Any ideas on how to convince my parents? It has to be VERY convincing because my mom started dating at 15 and got married at 17 and was pregnant with me at 17, had me 27 ays after she turned 18. and she doesnt want me to end up like her, but i wont have sex. Any ideas? it really has to be convincing... I like him so much! i cant even explain. Please help... Thanks, Love,
Need To Convince~










Hey girl! If you want to talk to your parents about this, you need to respect their decision either way.  It wouldn't be good to lose their trust and sneak around.  As for talking to them, try to be calm and explain the same reasons that you put in your post!  You can always be friends with this boy without dating him, too Smile Good luck! xxoo

Ahhh I met this AMAZING guy at camp. Ik it sounds corny put its true. I liked him as just a wish for a while but one day I ran into him at an ice cream place and we started chatting. Now we txt and talk at camp, but camp is over on Friday! He told me tht he liked me and I said I liked home back but I'm worried. Ik we won't hav a relationship the last week of camp and I'm nervous he wil go bak to skol and hav a girlfriend so next summer I won't be able to date him. I'm also worried tht if I want to date a guy this year he is goin to b offended if I come to camp next yr and I'm not still single! Ahhhh help! I rly lik him but I'm SO LOST!!!!!😖😰







Hey! Don't hold back this year for this guy. I know you like him, but you guys don't have any obligation t wait for eachother. Just go with the flow and maybe you can hang out more next year. good luck!
