12 do's and don'ts to win over your crush for V-Day


 

Check these out, too...

  • Smooching secrets from real guys
  • When's the right time to spill your feelings?
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and you’ve got your eye on a certain cutie this season. But how are you gonna win him over by the 14th? To get him in your arms by V-Day, read our 12 helpful tips below.
  
DON’T play coy: If you want to get on a certain dude’s radar, he’s going to have to notice you first. If you pretend to ignore him, how will he ever get to know you?
 

DO flirt with your eyes: Show your interest by keeping eye contact for a sec or two and smiling before looking away. You’ll catch his interest and he’ll be intrigued.

 

DON’T overwhelm him: If you come on too strong by getting up in his face and wrapping your arms around him all class period long, he’s going to be confused and maybe even a bit scared. Desperation won’t win any crush over!
 

DO take it easy: You want to show your interest without being too crazy-in-love because some guys get freaked out by lots of affection from girls they aren’t dating. Brush against his shoulder, put your hand on his briefly…use little signs to show you care.

 

DON’T hate on love: If playing the moody card is your game plan, prepare to lose this round. Getting into the whole “anti V-Day party” scene is going to send him the wrong message.
 

DO hint at not having a valentine: Casually bring up the holiday when you two are talking, and mention that you’re swingin’ it single this year. You don’t have to act upset or excited about this prospect. Just mention it so he knows, then let it go.

 

DON’T stalk his social media: Sometimes it can be super-tempting to read up on all his interests on Facebook and retweet every 140-character post he puts up, but the lesson here is hands off! It can be super creepy for him to get all of those notifications.
 

DO make him think of you: If you really want to take the convo to the virtual world, that’s fine. Just remember to make your main way of contact F2F, and try to be the first to leave the convo. By telling him you have to go before he does, he’ll realize he doesn’t want you to go.

 

DON’T let him rule the world: So you def wanna be with this guy by V-Day, but there’s no reason to let him command every convo and interaction you have. By letting him walk over you, he probably won’t take you seriously.
 

DO take charge: You’re the one showing interest, and there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to take the conversation where you want it to go. Talk about what you like and your passions, and he’ll realize just how cool you are. But make sure to maintain a balance and ask him questions about him as well!

 

DON’T attack with candy: When V-Day finally comes, you don’t want to overwhelm him with a dozen red roses and gooey love poems.
 
DO be casual and sweet: Wish him a happy V-Day and give him a kind card. It will show that you’re interested without putting him on the spot.
 
By now that sweetie should be your Valentine. Still a no-go? Try the no-games method: just ask him. Mention that you don’t have a Valentine, and ask him if he’d like to fill that spot. If he’s a decent guy. He’ll probably accept your kind offer.

 

And if not? Smile and wave buh-bye. At this rate he’s probs not worth your time. So find your gals and don’t let him get ya down. Boys come and go, but your girls are forever!

 

What are your plans for Valentines Day? Blog about it, babes.

The day before valentines day at my school, these "Sweetheart Sacks" got delivered. I got three, and one was from my bgf, but the other two were from guys who like me. I like one of them, but he and the other guy who likes me are best friends. What do I do?

So there's this guy I've known for awhile but have only recently started talking to. Now, I'm usually totally comfortable talking to guys, even when I like them, it just comes naturally. But with this guy, when I talk to him, I get all nervous and I blush and get butterflies in my stomach. This has never happened before with a guy. Now, the problem here is the age difference. He's a little over a year younger than me; he's 13 and I'm 14, and he's in the grade below mine. And another problem, a good friend of mine who is in his grade likes him too. But anyways, I have no idea what to think about all of this! Advice, please? Smile Thank youu!!!

Hey girlie,

It is totally normal to be nervous around a guy if you like him a lot, so try getting to know him as friends with casual conversations about school, etc. and you will get comfortable talking to him. Since you are in different grades, you could ask if anything funny happened in his classes or tell him about what you're learning. If one of your friends likes him too, though, I would talk to her before you make a move beyond friendship--do you want to risk losing your friendship with her for a chance at dating a guy? Try being honest with her and come up with a plan you both can agree to on what to do if he likes one of you. That way you can be happy for each other and not damage your friendship. Good luck!

okay this was the question:So I have a crush on a guy, he is seriously one of the nicest people I've met, he's funny and he flirts with me all the time!But he is also really popular, but here's the weird thing, I have some classes where I talk to hum all he time and we are fine(he's in all my classes BTW), but in language arts and social studies, I feel really shy!Why is this?!Also normally when I crush on a guy I have next to no confidence and I pretty much just talk when I have to, but this time, I think I talk to him at least 5 times a day, when I don't have to.Why is this one so different? Also I'm not allowed to date till I'm 16, and I'm 12 right now.Should I just continue getting to know him? We're also going to the same high school most likely,, where my mom teaches.Please help as soon as you can!Thank you so much!Sorry this is kind of long

 

 

Hey Chica, There could be a several reasons why you chat with him in specific classes. Do you focus more in language arts and social studies? Do you prefer these classes? Do you sit on opposite sides of the room? It's okay not to be super chatty all the time, so dont worry about it. As for your Mom this link might help you out:  http://www.girlslife.com/post/2009/09/23/overprotective-mom.aspx
