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.

MODERATOR
So today I was texting my crush (he knows I like him and according to another moderator on here he might like me too) and he was being really sweet so my friend wanted me to forward all the messages to her, but I acidently forwarded them to my crush. I tried to conver it up by saying "Haha sorry about that my mom wanted me to send her all my conversations and my phones glitching out so it sent it to the last 5 people I texted" and he hasn't answered back. My friend says im worrying about nothing but I don't want to seem like a stalker, if he asks about it what do I say? I'm worried he'll think I'm a freak Frown Please help me!

Hey girlie,

If he already knows you like him, it will probably be fine! I would just wait for him to text you first next time before you text him again. And if he asks you about it, you could just tell him the truth--honesty is always the best policy, and it would probably freak him out less to know that your friend saw his message than your mom! And next time you could just show the texts to your friend in person or read them to her so that doesn't happen again. I wouldn't worry though, I'm sure he will forget about it!

MOD MOD MOD!!!!
So... I'm a very picky person when it comes to liking guys. But for some reason, I've been keeping an eye on 3 guys. That makes me seem like a BIG player. I don't wanna look desperate and hopeless. Btw, keep in mind that I've neve gone out with anyone. So what I'm really trying to say is, can you help me not like so many guys? There are things I like in that one specific person and then things I don't like. I usually just have one crush. But I don't know what's going on. So PLEASE HELP!

Hey girlie,

That doesn't make you seem like a player at all, and it definitely doesn't make you seem desperate or hopeless in the least! It is totally okay to be unsure of your feelings--you don't have to choose between your crushes as long as they are just crushes! Maybe you could get to know each of them as a friend and see which one you like spending time with. But it's okay to wait and not be sure until then, so don't be so hard on yourself!

MODMODMOD!!!! My period hasn't started this month. The past two months it's been regular and on time. Is this normal to happen when it first starts?

Hey girlie,

It is totally normal to be irregular at first, so I wouldn't worry Smile
