Expert Answer

You can't control someone else's feelings, but you can certainly send him signals that you're interested in them. Make eye contact when you're talking to them, smile often, and find opportunities to touch them in appropriate ways. A light elbow touch or a hand on the back is a good subtle way to send someone a sign that you like them.

Question

What if I am too young to date but I still want to know if he likes me?

Community Answer

You can still spend time getting to know him and building a friendship. If you feel close enough and comfortable enough you can let him know how you feel and ask if he feels the same. Be upfront that you or your parents think you are too young to date. Instead, think about group outings such as going to see a movie or going to a football game.

Question

How do I know if the boy likes me or not?

Community Answer

If he wants to talk with you often, accepts invitations, turns his body toward you and makes eye contact with you as he speaks, he may like you. If he's treating you the same way you're treating him, he probably likes you. If he doesn't seem interested in talking with you or hanging out outside of school, he might not be interested.

Question

How can I ask a boy to go to the movies without being shy?

Community Answer

Just remind yourself that it's JUST a trip to the movies. Pretend like he is your best friend, and it's just a casual little outing. Because, at the end of the day, that's all it is! The worst case scenario is he could say no, and that isn't even all that bad. You can do it!

Question

If a boy is 2 years older than me, 2 grades ahead of me, and already has a girlfriend, how do I lure him in?

Community Answer

If he already has a girlfriend, you shouldn't go out of your way to flirt with him or try to get him to like you. Not only is that disrespectful to his relationship, it doesn't bode well for your relationship with him either. Leave it be, and if they break up, make an effort to really get to know him and form a relationship then.
