Expert Answer

Try waiting an hour or two before responding to his texts or messages. The next time he messages you, do your best not to respond immediately. Finding the right balance between being unavailable and too available can be hard, but striking this balance gives him a chance to miss you while staying in contact.

Question

I'm shy, introverted, and sometimes seem angry. How am I going to flirt with him/her if it makes me uncomfortable?

Community Answer

Even if you like someone, you should never do anything that makes you uncomfortable. Try to establish a friendship with them first, so you can see if they're really right for you. If the other person knows you well, they'll appreciate your good qualities without you having to be overly flirty.

Question

What if my boyfriend takes a picture of me? Does it mean that my boyfriend likes me or is it something else?

Community Answer

Usually, when you take a photo of someone, it's because they're important to you or part of an important moment in your life. If your boyfriend is taking photos of you frequently, then that seems like a good sign that he's into you.

Question

How do I get out of the friend zone?

Community Answer

A lot of online advice tells you to play hard to get and try to make him jealous. Well, that might work, but it's often smarter just to ask him out. Invite him to a casual date, but use that word so he understands it's not just a hangout. Take it slow so he can get used to the idea before you start confessing your love.

Question

What if he already has a girlfriend?

Community Answer

Are you comfortable trying to end his relationship? You'll be creating quite a bit of drama and unhappiness, depending on how serious they are. If you decide it's worth it, let him know you like him and leave the final decision up to him.

Question

What if most of the guys at your school are immature and think you're weird?

Community Answer

If they don't have the same interests or maturity level as you, then they're probably not the right guy for you. School isn't the only place to meet a guy. Get involved with sports, clubs, and other activities in your community so you can meet guys from other schools.

What if you already asked him out and he said no?

Sadly, it's time to move on. There are plenty more fish in the sea.

Question

What if you barely know the guy and don't want to talk to him?

Community Answer

It's always best if you get to know a guy first -- that way, you'll be better able to tell if he's right for you. But if you don't want to talk to him, try sending a text or an email to start a conversation.

Question

What if the guy I'm interested in is an ex who has moved on but is my most recent ex?

Community Answer

If you ex has moved on, it's probably a good idea to move on yourself.
