Q&A for How to Get a Boy in Middle School to Like You

An easy way to feel more confident is to write a list of at least ten things that you like about yourself. Think about the positive aspects of your personality, how you treat people, and what your unique talents and skills are. The more you focus on the good things about yourself, the more confident you will feel.

Many middle school relationships aren't that serious. Do they spend a lot of time together? Have they been dating for more than a couple weeks? Is his girlfriend a friend of yours? If the answer to all three questions is "no," it *might* be worth the drama to get his attention.

If he's said he doesn't like you or started acting rudely toward you, try to move on . It's hard, but there are plenty of other people out there who will appreciate you more.

Try to get his phone number or find him on social media so you can send him a message asking to talk in person.
