    Try starting a simple conversation! You might make a comment while passing him in the hallway or when you see him in class. Work your way up from 1-2 sentence conversations so you can start building a rapport with him.

    Try to smile and make eye contact for about 3-4 seconds. As an extra touch, try mouthing the word "hi" so he knows that you're interested.

  • Question
    Do I have to change myself for a boy to like me?
    Community Answer
    Absolutely not. It doesn't matter if you're fat or skinny, or whether or not you wear glasses or makeup. There are plenty of guys who will appreciate you for who you are, and that's what you deserve.
  • Question
    What if we are both shy?
    Community Answer
    Start by making eye contact and smiling. Before you talk to him, think of some open-ended questions to keep the conversation moving. And don't worry too much about coming across as awkward; shyness can be cute.
  • Question
    This boy asked me out and I said no, but I really like him. Should I ask him out or do I just keep it to myself?
    Community Answer
    Tell him you freaked out and ask if he would give you a second chance. He'll probably say yes.
  • Question
    Can you start out as best friends and become boyfriend and girlfriend?
    Community Answer
    Yes, it happens all the time. Admit you like him, but keep it low-key (no big dramatic confessions). That will make it less awkward to stay friends if he says no.
  • Question
    I made a bad impression on the guy and he thinks I'm weird. How can I fix this?
    Community Answer
    Talk to him again and show another side of your personality. If joking or acting silly didn't work last time, try to be serious. Apologizing also helps, but don't go overboard (unless you really did something wrong). "I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot" will do.
  • Question
    My best friend likes the same guy I do. Should I tell him I like him?
    Community Answer
    Tell your best friend how you feel first. You definitely do not want to break up your friendship. The two of you can agree to both move on, or one of you can be gracious and let the other one try.
  • Question
    How do you know if you're in the friend zone? What do you do if you are?
    Community Answer
    If he thinks of you as a friend he might not pick up on the signs that you like him, even if you try to flirt. You might have to admit it to him directly and see how he reacts.
  • Question
    The boy I like flirts with a lot of girls. How do I show that I'm serious?
    Community Answer
    If you think he likes you, act reserved and make him put in some effort to reach you. If you're not sure, tell him straight-out that you like him. If you do start dating, have a talk about how much he can keep flirting with other girls.
  • Question
    What if he likes another girl?
    Community Answer
    There's no harm in trying to get his attention. He might be crushing too hard to give you a chance, but that could change if you convince him to spend some time with you.
  • Question
    What if he says no because he's with his friends?
    Community Answer
    Then he cares more about how he looks like to his friends than he cares about you. Move on. If he regrets his answer, it's up to him to apologize.
  • Question
    What if he already has a girlfriend?
    Community Answer
    First, think hard about whether you're willing to get involved, and how it will affect all three of you. Even if you're okay with ending their relationship, the most you can do is let him know how you feel. It's up to him to make the decision at this point.
  • Question
    What do I do if I'm crushing on my ex's brother?
    Community Answer
    Your ex-boyfriend is your ex-boyfriend. He doesn't get to decide who you crush on. It may be awkward, but that doesn't mean you have to rule it out.
  • Question
    What if you met the guy online?
    Community Answer
    If you are a kid or teenager, do not trust people you meet online. If you have already given him personal information or agreed to meet in person, tell this to an adult immediately.
  • Question
    He's a mean, bad boy. Why do I like him?
    Community Answer
    That's a complex question with a simple answer. Just don't date him. He's probably a player, and won't make you happy.
  • Question
    What do you do if he says no?
    Community Answer
    If he says no, he means no. It's heartbreaking, but you've got to move on and look forward to the next guy.

    Try being friendly and warm. Smile at him and say "Hi!" Ask him open-ended questions to start a conversation. Try something like "what did you think of class today?" or "do you have any fun weekend plans?"

    We are really good friends and I just started liking him. What do I tell him?
    Sarah Battilana
    Community Answer
    You could have an honest conversation with him and say something like, "I really love being friends with you. I've noticed lately that I've started to like you as more than a friend, though, and I was wondering if you felt the same way."
  • Question
    Say I told him a few months ago and he wants absolutely nothing to do with me. What do I do?
    Sarah Battilana
    Community Answer
    You have to just accept his answer. Try to focus on yourself, your hobbies, and your friends. Find other things to take up your time. If it's meant to be, he'll come around. Otherwise, remember that there are lots of other people out there!
