How do I impress my crush without being cringe?
I (16 f) want to get my crush (17 m) to notice me in a romantic way, but I don’t want to be too cringey or obvious about it. I sort of just want to catch his eye without him realizing I’m even interested, if that makes sense. Sometimes I feel like he looks past me at school, but other times I kind of get the vibe he’s into me. What can I do to impress him (preferably without talking to him, I’m kind of shy)?

I think having good social energy is one of your best bets if you want someone to notice you that way. Do your best to be visibly social, smile a lot, and seem open and relaxed. If you spend a lot of time around this guy, occasionally flash them some eye contact and a sly smile if you're not directly talking to him. But the social energy is really a key part. Focus on your own friends, have a good time, enjoy the moment, and don't get too lost in your thoughts. He’ll pick up on your energy and be drawn to it. Otherwise, if you happen to see him regularly there's no reason you can't open a conversation. You can comment on something in the environment, comment on something he's wearing, any little thing can get your foot in the door. Just keep it simple and don’t overthink it!

I keep seeing this cute boy in my class, and he's nice to me and comes up to talk to me. But he's nice to everybody and when he's close to me, I feel special. But I want to talk to him and I don't know how. He defiantly acts different around me, but now classes are switching and I don't know if I'll ever see him again. How do I work up the courage to talk to him and what would I even say?!

You could try discussing general topics or topics of your and his interests. Before talking to him, take a deep breath and drink water if you feel anxious or shy. You can use the methods in this article to make him like you back. Hope this helps :)

If you got his number or snap go for girl! Talk just a bit more then move to the question "do you have a girlfriend, if no hang put at a park, if you see signs, you'll know when you see or feel them, after you get back home text him or call, hey I have feelings and I wanna be more then a friend?"

Just try asking her if she wants to hang and if she needs help with any classes or if she plays a sport go to her games and be nice overall

I have a crush, and I’m crazy for her. Unfortunately, there are simps in my class who always tease her and annoy her. I don’t want to give her the impression that I’m a simp, but I still want to be around her; I join as much extracurricular activities she joins as I can. I’m too shy to initiate direct conversation, though.

I think you should just start off with a smile or just say hello. After that, you can try talking to him a little bit. You can then do what you feel comfortable with.

If I would you I would think of a way that you can talk to everyone, her included so it is not awkward. For instance go around promoting something or hand out flyers in your class. When you get to her, try to strike up a conversation by giving her a compliment. I am a girl and if this happened to me I would not know fs if this person liked me but I would be curious enough to talk to him again

just try to strike up a conversation with him, and genuinely care. ask him questions about things he likes and become his friend. try to see if you have anything in common. dress the way you feel confident in and smile a lot but not in a creepy way.

I'm a girl (15f) and have a crush on this other girl (16f). She's given me signs that she isn't straight, but I think she has a boyfriend. What should I do? Anything under the sun will work, I've tried everything (other than telling her I like her lol)

I would do more investigating to figure out if she has a boyfriend. If she does, I would respect their relationship and not try to make a move on her or anything like that. But if she doesn't, then you can try to figure out more about her sexuality to see if she might be into girls. After that, get to know her better and drop hints that you like her to feel out the vibe. If the vibe is right, you can ask her out!

I know you said you're shy but I'd encourage you to muster up the courage to talk to him!! A lot of guys are pretty oblivious, so he might not notice all the hints you're trying to drop. I think the straightforward approach is the best way to go about this. If he doesn't feel the same way about you, you can move on with your life. And if he does like you back...this helps move things along faster! You got this!

But what if he doesn't like you back and u have already confessed ,won't it be a shame whenever u see him

Try to learn what his interests are, and then get into them. Even better if you can get really good at them. For example, if you know that he goes to a certain club during lunch, try dropping into a few meetings. He might notice that you're hanging out in the same places that he is and strike up a conversation! Good luck.
