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


 

Check these out, too...

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
  • Saved the best for last day
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
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.

There is this guy I like and he is 14 all most 15 and i just turned 14 yesterday I like him a lot but we go to different schools but they are not far away and my friend likes him too but then my older brother and mom know him and they don't really like him but he is really sweet I don't know what to do PlEASE HELP!!

Hey girlie,

That's a lot of factors to take into consideration! If you and your friend both like him, you'll have to decide whether going for him is worth losing your friendship with her! Check out this article for some great tips on what to do if you and your friend like the same guy: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/12/02/Boy-or-bestie.aspx?cp=all .As for your fam, maybe you could invite him to your house for dinner so they could get to know him better!

MOD!
I sent my crush a ecard for vday:
Thank You.
It's nice to have a friend to share valentines day with. Smile
-Winter.
He didn't say anything, we live FAR away or I would have said so, was that 2 much, he don't know I like him.

Hey girlie,

I don't think that's too much since the card said that you were friends! Maybe he just hasn't seen it yet if he hasn't checked his email. I wouldn't worry about it, that sounds like a nice thing to do!

Okay so my brother has this MEGA cute friend named zack. So it was like 11 o'clock at night I thought everyone was sleeping when I heard knocking on the door: (keep in mind I sleep with no pants on) so I had no idea what it was, I thought I was just imagining things. Then I went downstairs and lo and behold, my brother and zack looking at me in my underwear through the door! (Also I was wearing a pad, so they probably saw the flaps. What. The heck. ) and I hid behind my brother hockey bag for like 30 seconds leaving them in the -28C degree weather and could not DOI anything but stick a peace sign out where thu could see it. I rushed out opened the door and ran upstairs. I feel like a total moron!!!!!!!! Gahhhh!!!!!! How do I bounce back? (I'm also going to have to deal with him in the morning. Gosh I feel like such a loser!

Hey girlie,

Even though it seems embarrassing now, I'm sure they will forget about it in no time! Just play it cool and it will be old news before you know it Smile You didn't do anything wrong and neither did they, really, so there's nothing to worry about!
