It can be nerve-racking to ask out a boy or girl that you've had your eye on for a while.It is difficult to express romantic feelings for someone, but there are ways to do it.First get to know your crush and then move on to more flirtatious interactions.Give them a note that expresses your feelings, or ask them out in person.
Step 1: First of all, become friends.
People are more likely to say yes to someone they know and admire.By befriending your crush slowly and talking to them from time to time, you can relieve some of the pressure and awkwardness and decrease your chances of being turned down.Ask them if they would like to be your partner for class.
Step 2: Ask them about their hobbies and interests.
Ask your crush what they like when you have time to chat with them.It will help you to get to know them better and it will also make you feel more connected to them.Do you play any sports and what is your favorite song?
Step 3: At lunch, invite them to sit with you.
You don't have to rush to class or focus on school work when you eat lunch.Ask your crush if they would like to sit at your lunch table and get to know you better.To keep it casual, ask them as soon as lunch starts.Say something like, hey!The funniest thing that happened today was in the third period.Do you want me to tell you all about it at lunch?
Step 4: Get to know them by texting.
It is appropriate to ask for your crush's number once you have established a friendship.Send a message.If you want to see where the conversation is going, text what you are up to.Ask them questions about themselves when they are unsure.This shows you want to know them.They may want to distance themselves from you if you text frequently.Put your phone down and spend some time with your friends and family when you text them.If you like and comment on their posts on social media sites, you can show them that you are interested and paying attention to them.
Step 5: They should be invited to hang out with you and some of your friends.
Make fun plans with your friends and ask your crush if they want to join.It is possible to spend some quality time together face-to-face and develop a deeper friendship without the pressure of a one-on-one date.You can suggest that your crush invite a friend or two to join the group to make them feel more comfortable.
Step 6: Affirmative them.
People like being praised.When you compliment your crush's other friends, you are starting to separate yourself from them.It's important to keep your compliment genuine by saying characteristics and qualities that draw you to your crush.They may feel overwhelmed if you compliment your crush too much.When the conversation leads you to do so naturally, it is a good idea to compliment them.If the two of you start talking about classes and you admire your crush for how smart they are, you might say, "You always seem to know what's going on in history class."You are a really good student and you are smart.
Step 7: Don't be afraid to flirt with them.
You can start to flirt with your crush.Look at your crush in the eye when you talk to them and joke around with them.They may be starting to see you as more than a friend if they smile at you and seem to enjoy your presence.While hiding on the other side of them, try standing behind your crush and tapping one of their shoulders.This could confuse them for a moment and make them laugh.
Step 8: You can give them a gift.
You should go out of your way to give your crush a gift.This is a great way to show your crush that you care about them and are willing to make their day better.Your crush may view you as thoughtful if nothing else.If your crush likes to read a lot, you might want to give them a copy of your favorite book.Bring some brownies to school to give to your crush if they love sweets.
Step 9: You can hang out with them one-on-one.
Hanging out one-on-one is something that friends often do, but it may feel a little more like a date.If you don't want to call it a date, ask your crush to do something for you.Ask them if they want to come over to your house and do homework together or get ice cream after school.
Step 10: A friend can give hints.
If you want to know what your crush says, ask a trusted friend to talk to you.It can feel vulnerable to ask your crush how they feel about you, so this is a good way to find out.Your friend should tell you that your name likes hanging out with you.Do you like hanging out with your friends?
Step 11: You can talk to them in a private place.
You can speak with your crush in the hallway between classes or on the bus after school.I like spending time with you and I enjoy getting closer to you.If you ask your crush if they want to date you in front of the class or in the cafeteria, they are more likely to say no.
Step 12: You can give them a note or call.
If you can't bring yourself to ask your crush out in person, consider writing a sweet letter to them that will let them know how you feel.You can collect your thoughts and clearly say what you want to say if you use this method.Don't have a friend ask you out.This may not be received well by your crush, and your friend might not remember exactly what you wanted them to say as a result.
Step 13: Prepare yourself for the possibility of rejection.
Rejection doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you, remind yourself that there are many people out there that you may have a connection with.Your crush may not be allowed to date, may already have a boyfriend or girlfriend, or may love being your friend, but not have romantic feelings for you.If it doesn't work out, you can still have a friendship with the person.It is okay to be upset if your crush says no.It's best to spend time doing activities that you love with friends and family to take your mind off of it and move on.
