Dress to impress. If you’re that kind of girl (if you are a girl), wear a floral dress when it’s hot out, or a cute black sweater when it’s cold. Wear clothes that accent your features. Get a friend’s advice on what looks good on you, or ask your parents. You want him to notice how well dressed you are every time he sees you. Don’t dress in something you will not feel comfortable in. Dress the way you want to but, make sure that you at least look cute. If your school has a uniform wear a color or style that looks good on you. Be clean and have good hygiene. Shower at least once a day. For example, if you practice on a soccer team or exert yourself after school, be sure to shower afterward to get all that sweat off of you. Wash your face in the morning and at night; you don’t want pimples to attack your pretty face. Also, don’t forget to brush your teeth! You only get one set of adult teeth. Look after them because bad breath can really push him away, and everyone else, too. Smile. Smile when you talk to him, or when he’s around. Smiling lets him know that he makes you happy. [1] X Research source Glance at him during class, if you happen to lock eyes, smile, and hold his gaze without blinking for as long as possible. Let him digest the fact that you’re thinking about him, and then look away like nothing has ever happened. Don’t overdo it, though—that shouldn’t be done more than once a day.

Wear minimal makeup. Makeup is not for covering up your best features but making them pop. Consider going for the natural look, too. Some guys just want to see your face, not your makeup—although this is most guys, not all! Too much makeup can lead to teasing and not the flirty type! If you really want to wear makeup, just use some lip balm, foundation, and even mascara if you like. If you wear makeup, keep it simple because cake faces are a real turn off. Play around with your hairstyle. Be yourself, don’t ever decide how you want your hair to look just for some boy. Consider trimming your bangs, straightening, or curling your hair if you think it suits you. Alternatively, play with wearing your hair or makeup in a different way one day.

Talk about friends in your class, something strange that happened to you, or a social event you both plan on attending. If you’re having trouble keeping the conversation going, be sure to ask him lots of questions. Not so much because he might get annoyed. If you want to impress a popular guy, don’t act like all the other girls who usually fawn over him or are too shy to even make contact. Stand in your worth and know what you are bringing to the table. Make good eye contact with him throughout. Your eyes are the window into your soul, and definitely one of the most attractive parts of your body. Make sure he sees them! Focusing your eyes on him will tell him he’s got your undivided attention. But don’t stare at him all the time, this will make him think you’re creepy. Look into his eyes when he talks to you; if you look at his feet, you don’t look confident. [2] X Research source Laugh at his jokes. Doing so will make him feel appreciated. That being said, don’t force yourself to laugh because it will sound fake. If it’s a joke indicated at you, make a subtle one back at him. It’s all playful.

Gently touch his arm or bump your knee against his. Rub shoulders with him when you ask him to explain that science problem you both had for homework. School-related work is the best way to get in touch with someone, it’s a perfect excuse. When he tells a funny joke or teases you (in a flirty way), lightly hit him on the shoulder. Your body language is telling him that you actually enjoy his attention. If you’re really brave, let your hand crawl up his arm onto his shoulder or play footsie with him, you can also sit on his desk before class starts. Also, blow him kisses in a playful way. Tickling is also a great way of flirting. Because a lot of guys don’t like being tickled, however, you would be better off at the receiving end. Mention being ticklish and make your ticklish spots vulnerable. It’s good to start with a spot like your feet and build up to being touched on the ribs and sides. [4] X Research source Play with his hair. Don’t over-do it, though, or it will look strange, and he will want to stay away from you.

If you feel uncomfortable around his friends, that’s fine. Don’t avoid them or leave when you see them coming. Use your siblings. If both your siblings are close in age, you automatically have something to talk about! Even better, if his siblings and your siblings are friends, suggest that the two of you take your siblings to the movies or amusement park together. Make sure you become his friend first. Don’t lie about yourself to make him like you.

Don’t forget to actually listen! Bring up details he said later on in conversation to prove that you’re a good listener. (Don’t overdo this or you’ll seem like a stalker. )[5] X Research source Try to find things you have in common. Do you both play guitar or love the same bands? Suggest that you jam together! Do you both play sports? Ask him to play a pickup game sometime.

Does he do sports? Go to his games or tournaments and cheer him on. Ask him when it’s going to be, and wish him luck if you can’t come. See if he tries to spot you in the stands! Encourage him when he is down: All guys have some down moments, so cheer him up. Showing him that you care will make him more likely to care about you. Do not say another boy is “hot” or go on about someone else. He might think you like the other boy and not him. If you like multiple boys at the same time, decide on which boy which you want to pursue and only go after him. Or, have a lot of friends and don’t focus on one boy! It’s not like you are going to get married! It’s fun to have a lot of friends and not have to worry about treating anyone one of them differently because you don’t like them all the same. If your crush finds out that you like two guys at the same time, he might not feel that he was special in your mind.

You probably already know this, but don’t plan on getting a lot of work done during these study sessions. Your attention is going to be spent elsewhere, and that’s okay! Just prepare for your exam a day or two ahead if you can. However, you should make sure that you DO get some work done. It may seem strange if you show up for a study session, then talk the whole time.

Ask him to carry your backpack to class. Tell him it’s heavy and he looks strong enough to carry it easily. If he says yes, it probably means that he likes you enough to do favors for you, and likes that you think he’s strong. If you want to tell one of your friends something when he’s there, tell him to close his ears or to step back a little. This will make him want to hear what’s going on even more, and you’ll know that he cares.

If one of your friends does like him, you should discuss who “gets” him. If you can’t come to a fair agreement (such as who liked him first, he chooses, etc. ), both of you should move on. If you decide to let your friend go after him and they get together, don’t hold it against him or her. Stay friends with them. Be happy for them and realize that there will be plenty of other boys in your future.

Sometimes, after a boy realizes you like them that way, they start to see you in a different light. Even if he says no, he may start to subconsciously think about the characteristics that he likes about you or why you would make a good girlfriend. Shy boys don’t always have the courage to tell other people how they really feel, or they don’t know how to. If you like a shy boy and he doesn’t seem interested, it could be because he gets nervous around you and doesn’t know what to do. If he is shy, keep trying to make him feel comfortable around you. Definitely hang out with him in places where he is most comfortable.

If he feels he can’t keep up with you, he might get too nervous and think that you’re out of his league. If you are very socially active, invite him to come along one day with you and some of your friends. This will give him a chance to be around you outside of school and in your natural state. Don’t make him feel like you’re never around. If you bring him along make sure he feels comfortable. Likewise, don’t under-commit or you could seem like a loser. You want to surround your life with interesting activities and friends regardless of whether he likes you. If he does like you, your life just got that much better. If he doesn’t like you, your life is fun and meaningful without him!

Don’t try to be somebody you’re not. He’ll like you just the way you are. You may even have some things in common.

Ask him, “Hey, would you like to hang out with me sometime?”. If he says yes, you’ve done your part. Smile and tell him you have to go. Then walk away without looking back. Now the ball is in his court. Suggest going to the movies or a school sports game together. Asking him to the movies would be a little more formal of a date, but you could also suggest going with friends. Asking him to a school sports game doesn’t have to be a “date. " It could just be you two hanging out. Ask him out to Sadie Hawkins dance, if these are ever held where you live. Sadie Hawkins is when the girls ask the boys out for a dance. Pile up your courage and ask him whether he’d want to be your date. If he says yes, he definitely likes you.

Don’t write anything that you would be embarrassed about if anyone else read it. Letters can get misplaced. If someone else finds your letter, you could both be in for some teasing!
