8 flirty tips to make him your Homecoming date

 
 

Check these out, too...

  • Do long distance relationships work?
  • What he really thinks of your fave summer outfit
  • How to deal with a bad kisser
You’ve got the perf dress, the chic shoes and the glam 'do, now all you need is a date. It’s time to stop wishing your crush will ask you to the fall formal and start taking action. Follow these steps to score that hot Homecoming date.

Break the ice
You’ve been eyeing him across the hall but haven’t actually met yet? What are you waiting for! Introduce yourself and give him a compliment. Then, break the ice by chatting about something you both have in common.

 

Stand out
Raise your hand in math, go for that goal in gym or snag that solo in music class. Put yourself in his field of vision and he’ll be sure to remember you.

 

Make sure he’s available
Ask around to make sure your crush is single and available.  If he already has a girlfriend, he probably wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) ask you to Homecoming.

 

Get to know each other
Be friendly and get to know your crush so he can see how awesome you are. Try sitting next to him in the auditorium, joining him and his buds for flag football or inviting him to a co-ed bowling night.

 

Drop a hint
Casually bring up that you’re going to Homecoming but you don’t have a date yet. Fingers crossed he’ll follow your queue.

 

Be confident
Confidence is a super attractive quality; so smile, keep your head up and look him in the eye.  

 

Make it a group thing
Go to Homecoming with a group of your besties and guy friends. You’ll get to dance with everyone, spend more time with your friends and keep it casual around your crush. Be sure to get a pic with that hottie before the night ends.

 

Ask him!
Why waste your time wishing that he’ll ask you when you could be taking charge. If he turns you down, you’ll still have time to find another cute date.

There is this guy Jackson in my musical theater class. i really like him but, i am not COMPLETLY sure he likes me back,so I'm really afraid to ask him out. We have tons of stuff in common. For both of us theater is our LIFE. he text me all the time also. Yesterday my BFF Izzy ( without me knowing) wrote Jackson a note asking if he liked me. his written response was '' No....maybe.....a little''. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?!? I would appreciate it if you answered . thanks! ~ confused

I was at a school dance last night and I was slow dancing with my crush and I realized I had no idea what to say! I felt really awkward cuz we were just dancing and not saying anything. I don't want dances to be awkward like that! How can I start a conversation next time and make it not as awkward?

So theres this guy that I really like. He's always finding some way to talk to me and he looks satisfied when he makes me laugh. Last year i had a crush and he did the same thing and then it turned out he liked my now ex-BFF. Last year, I was convinced that the other boy really liked me. Am i just getting myself setup for disappointment and getting in over my head like last time? God, i really need help because the school dance is coming up and i dont want to get excited about him possibly asking me like last time. Do you think he likes me? Should i be happy and let myself be excited?

  

Hey skiwi2, he could like you especially since he's over your ex-bff. Don't look at it as being let down if he doesn't like you. Instead look at this as an opportunity to make a new friend. And who knows maybe he has some friends to hook you up with. Hope this helps! Xoxo

so there's this guy i like. i asked him out, but he said no (actually, he yelled no, and made a face like he was in a dead fish factory). but that was in front of his friends, and i have a (big) feeling that if it was in private, then he would've said yes. anyways, when he said no, i got so nervous and embarrassed that i said i was just kidding. if i ask him to dance at the semi-formal, what's the probability he'll say no?

 

Hey soccacheer, he may still say no girl. And just think do you really want a guy who can't be himself just because his friends are around? This guy sounds immature and mean, you can do so much better! Are there any other guys you'd like to go to the semi-formal with? Xoxo

How can you tell the difference between when a guy likes you and wants to have you as a friend as opposed to actually LIKING you?? I just really want to be able to tell the difference because I'm to shy to ask him myself.

 

Hey girlie, usually you can tell from his body language. If he's just interested in being friends with you, he'll treat you more like one of the guys. If he like likes you, he'll make extra attention to you, want to spend time with you and sometimes touch you when he's talking to you. Try flirting with him by touching his arm and making contact the next time you're talking to him and see how he reacts.
