Let your crush tell you all about their bad day, an exciting achievement, or whatever is on their mind. Try to be engaged and focused on them. Give them eye contact! Support them by doing things like cheering them on if they’re on the basketball team, helping them study for a test, or getting them a treat when they’re feeling down.
For example, maybe they’re passionate about volunteering at a nursing home, sailing, and woodworking. Find out about their passions by asking them what they’re interested in, asking one of their friends, or looking at their social media profiles.
For example, you might ask them what they’d like to study in college, what the names of their pets are, or how they learned to play the guitar. Asking questions will likely encourage them to ask questions about your life in return so that you both get to know each other on a deeper level.
Show that you’re truly listening by making eye contact and nodding appropriately when they’re speaking to you. If you’re speaking to them over text or social media, try to respond to their messages in a timely manner and give thoughtful responses. For example, if your crush told you they love a certain musician, you might let them know when that musician is performing near you to show that you were listening to their interests.
Try doing different activities when you’re with each other, like going to a movie, hanging out in a park with friends, or even just sitting together at lunch.
Wash your hair every couple of days, using conditioner after you shampoo if desired. Wear clean clothes daily to ensure you look and smell fresh.
Consider being playful and flirty by giving your crush a gentle shove or tap. Show off your wit or any jokes you know when you’re around your crush or over text.
If you want to look fashionable and girly, find dresses or flowy tops in prints or patterns you like. Wear fitted jeans and a t-shirt with a picture of your favorite band or book on it to show your interests.
If your crush asks you a question about your life like “What’s your favorite thing to do in your free time?” you could answer the question and then ask your crush a question to keep the conversation flowing naturally.
Share your passions with your crush to show them what you’re interested in and find out whether you have any common interests.
Smile at your crush if you see them in the hallway, or give them a smile when talking to them about their weekend plans. If you’re texting your crush or using social media, try sending them a smiley face symbol or emoji.
If you’re talking to your crush, look into their eyes as you’re speaking. If your crush notices you looking at them, hold the eye contact for a few seconds and give them a smile.
For example, if you’re sitting in class at separate desks, lean your body towards them when asking your crush a question or telling them about your day. Pointing your body towards someone is a signal that you’re attracted to them.
Avoid hunching over when you’re walking or sitting at a table.
