Why you shouldn't rush to 'fess up to your crush

 
 

Check these out, too...

  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
I told a guy I liked him after we’d spent an hour together at a soccer game, but he said he doesn’t want to go out. Shouldn’t you always tell a guy you like him before the chance slips away?

 

Dear Mini Date Blues,
Rather than rush to tell someone you like him, it’s wiser to keep getting to know him. Enjoy flirting, and slowly figure out how you feel about each other. This beats scaring the guy away before he’s even asked for your number. There’s time to get things going, so don’t pressure yourself or him. Too many teens think they’re supposed to grab a guy and race around the bases. But these same teens usually wind up in relationships that end too suddenly or never quite work out.

MOD!
i have a crush and i have band practice with him (which only consists of a few ppl)and i was wondering how i could take "advantage" of it (you know, flirting "advantage")sooo i guess im asking for flirt advice... and i have said my delimma before and was told that he could like me sooo idk if that changes the response or not... and i was wondering how i could ask to get his number. im not the kind of bold person like that so i need more of a sublte way! thanks! for all your help! Smile

Hey girl,

If you have band practice together, try starting a conversation with him afterward about band and then transition into talking about school and other stuff. If you get to know each other as friends, it won't be awkward to ask for his number since you will already know each other by then. Don't worry so much about being flirty, just remember to be yourself! Smile

Lets say my crush's name is Jon. Jon and I have been friends for about 9 months and we realy click. I think he likes me back. He is on the swim team so I went to his swim meet a few days ago with my friend. I waved at him and he waved back. The next day his and my friend asked me why I went and I said because I wanted to(he doesn't buy it). Now I feel like a stalker so I'm not going to another swim meet this year. Should I tell Jon I like him or am I scaring him away?

Hey girl,

If you're not sure if he likes you, there's no rush to tell him, but if you've been friends for that long and he waved to you, it doesn't sound like you're scaring him away, either! You could tell him you wanted to support him without telling him you like him--friends can support each other, too! And if you have something you do like dance or debate, maybe you could invite him to your event next time Smile
