    You'll need their email to get things going.

    Don't sound like you're a know-it-all. Be clear with your message, but still flirtatious. For example if they ask "What's for homework?", simply answer with the list of what's for homework and coyly add that they should email or call if they need some help with it.
    • If your crush keeps emailing, score! You've got 'em, but make sure they like you back before mentioning something personal or intimate.
    • If you are smarter than your crush, make no comments that are sarcastic, confusing or unanswerable.

    It can be awkward when your regular conversation stalls. It's okay—be brave and just email "Hi" or "Hey." They should continue the conversation from there.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/5c\/Talk-to-Your-Crush-Via-Email-Step-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Talk-to-Your-Crush-Via-Email-Step-6.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/5c\/Talk-to-Your-Crush-Via-Email-Step-6.jpg\/aid74706-v4-728px-Talk-to-Your-Crush-Via-Email-Step-6.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Don't continuously check your email. It may just make you feel desperate and less confident.
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/a4\/Talk-to-Your-Crush-Via-Email-Step-8.jpg\/v4-460px-Talk-to-Your-Crush-Via-Email-Step-8.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/a\/a4\/Talk-to-Your-Crush-Via-Email-Step-8.jpg\/aid74706-v4-728px-Talk-to-Your-Crush-Via-Email-Step-8.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Don't be scared if they tell you they like you via email. Simply email back with "I like you too," but only if you do, or say "Thanks, but we're just friends," and wait for the next email.

    You know your crush is hooked if they're replying within 3-5 minutes.

      Tips

      • Sound confident. Believe it or not, insecurities and being scared can transfer via email and the people on the other end will be able to tell.
        Thanks
      • Touch on the idea of talking on the phone or in person.
        Thanks
      • Believe it or not, there is such thing as being overconfident. Take it slow, ask him/her questions about them, and let them ask questions about you. Don't act like she/he just pronounced you their official girl/boyfriend just because they replied to your email!
        Thanks
