8 flirty tips to make him your Homecoming date

  • 6 ways to make sure your next party rocks
  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
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.

MOD MOD MOD. I'm in serious need of your guy advice. I'm trying to talk to more guys, but I am so awkward! I was talking to this guy in math who is kinda popular about school pix and I'm like "Did you get a good pic?" he's like "No, it's terrible." and I say "Aw, yeah, me too, my collarbone is like popping out in mine." WHAT PERSON SAYS THAT? I'm so awkward it's actually a little funny! I never know what to say to guys in general for some reason (I can never think of things we have in common and I don't wanna seem strange or anything but saying something weird - ex. my collarbone..) and I want to talk to them! I want guy friends, too! What do I do to become less awkward around them in general and what can I say to the guy in my math class? I don't like him like that, but he sits next to me and seems nice and like a good friend. And the guy in front of me is popularish and is hilarious, so i wanna talk to both of them! About what though? We don't have common things to talk about! Help!!

 

Hey girl, I totes know what you mean.  I used to feel so awkward talking to guys - so much that I would pretty much avoid it.  But I worked through it, and now I have tons of guy friends.  How do you do it?  Practice, practice, practice!  Talk to any guys - the one in your math class is a great example.  Even if you don't like him, it's still good experience.  You have one thing in common for sure:  school.  Talk about last night's killer math assignment, school events, or plans for the weekend.  And it's okay to be awkward!  Sometimes, it's even a good thing, because it makes you seem real.  If you feel like you made an awkward comment, just laugh it off or make a joke about it.  And remember that you might feel more awkward than you actually seem.  Good luck, and have fun with it!   xoxo

I'm a freshman and this guy is in 8th grade. we had a thing last May but it ended in about 2 days right as school ended and i was pretty crushed, but i got over it. he's talking to me again and in texts he says he likes these 2 girls in his grade but wants stuff with me not them. i told him I'm not really into that yet and he still is like "how far would you go?" i just wanna tell him to back off, but i just can't/won't. any tips/advice how to shake this? he won't date me and right now thats probably good, i don't think i wanna date him. i would just ignore him, but after football season is over, he'll ride the bus all the time (me too).also, ladies, if you have any advice, you can comment on my advice queen page or my profile to tell me what to do. thanks MODS and girls!

 

Hey chica, It sounds like you have already made a positive choice about what you're ready for.  Now, you could ignore him, but it sounds like that'll be difficult since you'll start seeing him again.  I think you should be clear with him and say you're not looking for the same things that he is, but that you guys can still be cool with each other - things don't have to get weird.  Don't let past feelings cloud your good judgement.  Good luck!! xoxo
