What to say when he looks your way

  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
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.

Ok so I absolutely adore my BF, but whenever we text he's so boring! All he ever says is one word replies! Any ways I can keep our conversation going? Especially during summer when I rarely see him? Thanks!




Hey babe, that is annoying when your guy isn't putting in the effort. Just keep up your end of the convo, and try asking him questions that need more than one word answers. Like ask what he's been up to, how his vacay went, what are his plans for the weekend, etc. Don't be afraid to just tell him what you've been up to, too. Obviously, he isn't going to ask, so tell him if there's something that's got you excited. Hopefully, he'll notice how important it is to you and show some interest. But if not, you might wanna think about having some Skype dates or phone calls, since they require a bit more commitment and attention.

I've been having lots of nightmares about school lately and idk why. I know its summer and all but I can't help worrying about it. Why is this happening and how do i stress less about this because i really want to enjoy summer.




Hey girl!

I'm sorry you're having so many anxieties. You're absolutely right - now is not the time to worry about school, because you still have so much left of the summer to enjoy! It could be happening for various reasons (maybe you're nervous about a summer assignment, about classes you'll be taking, about friendships), but there are also various ways to fix your nightmares. Try packing your days full of activities so you don't have time to let your mind wander to bad thoughts. Or, to take a different approach, talk aloud about your concerns to your friends or parents. Sometimes it can help to just get our worries off our chest. Before bed, do something take takes your full concentration, like reading a book. That way, hopefully, you'll dream about a fun story or adventure, instead of the worries in the back of your mind.

Okay, so I have a crush on this sweet, video gamer lover, sandy blonde hair guy. He's my age, understands me in many ways, and makes me smile. The only thing is... He's my BFFs brother!! Whenever I see him I can't help but smile. He's the only guy I've liked who I think of almost all the time!! Im just worried because he asked me to our schools dance but I had to say no due to thr fact that another guy asked me 10 min earlier and I said I was going with my friends! He didn't even go to the dance! Do you think he might not like me anymore because I said no? It's been like a month but we still hang out. Soon I'm going to go to mc Donald's with him and his sis. What should I do? Should I confess my feelings? Please help!!




Hey girl,

Is your BFF okay with you liking her brother? If she is, then you should confess your feelings. It seems to be eating you up, so it's probably okay to just let it spill. If you guys still hang out, I'm sure he still likes you! You can even explain why you said no to him before, I'm sure he will understand. It sounds like you really know him well and would love to be with him, so I say go for it girl! Good luck Smile

So, I really super like this guy. He is really cute and doesn't go to my school. He's nice and super quiet-just like me. I don't know how to talk to him. I see him a a couple times in the summer for cattle shows and judging but otherwise I don't see him. I really want to talk to him but I'm always soooo busy during shows and so is he. Plus all of his friends would make assumptions if I ever talked to him and everyone at fair can be a little rude or embarrassing-and trust me the word gets around FAST. Any advice is super helpful! Thanks a TON!!!




Hey girl,

You can always strike up a convo about the cattle shows or judging! You will always get people who will start rumors or make assumptions, but if you think this guy is worth it, then it shouldn't matter. If you want to talk to him, you should talk to him, regardless of what other people say. If you're super busy during shows, say something to him like, "These shows are crazy and exhausting since they keep us so busy! When they're over we should go grab some ice cream (or dinner, or whatever) to chill out and relax!" Or, you can just have an open invite, by saying you're going to get some ice cream after, and he's welcome to join you.
