Talking to Your Crush
You catch their eye and you get that fluttering, bubbly feeling in your chest that makes you think for just a moment that you’re about to explode. Even just looking at your crush is enough to make you speechless, so how are you supposed to, you know, speak
to them? It’s intimidating, we know, but every day and all over the world, people make that first move and the Earth doesn’t stop spinning. In fact, it usually becomes a better place. You can do it! And we’ll help you out. Here are top tips for talking to your crush:
Find out if they’re single.
This is the first thing you should do. If you don’t know, ask a friend, or even a stranger who knows your crush. You might be worried about rumors spreading, but that’s not a bad thing! Once you make your move, your crush will know you like them anyway, so what’s the point in keeping it hush-hush? If they’re single, that’s your green light. If not, you can always wait it out and see what happens. Maybe don’t set your hopes too high that they’ll break up, though. Remember, there are plenty of other fish in the sea!
Make conversation.
You don’t have to skip right to confessing your feelings. That’s one option, sure, but they’re more likely to return your feelings if they’re at least a little familiar with you. Find an excuse to chat! Offer them a snack or a beverage and say the vending machine accidentally gave you two. Ask them what the homework is for that class you have together. Or, just say, “Hi! You seem cool. My name is…” and let things go from there.
Find some hang time.
Again, easing into it is always a good idea. Invite them to hang out somewhere that’s not school, work, or however else you know them. Keep it casual and non-romantic at the start. You might catch a movie, join their sports club, or hit a museum together. If one-on-one time makes you nervous, invite them to hang with your friend group to lower the pressure and have some backup on hand.
Make your move. Once you feel comfortable approaching your crush on the regular, it’s time to pop the question. Again, casual is key. You could go all-out with flowers and a band, sure, if they’re into that, but most people prefer something smaller. Find a moment where it’s just the two of you and say something like, “Hey, I’ve really liked getting to know you, and I want to know you better. Think we could be something more than just friends?” If they say yes, congrats! If not, don’t let it get you down. You’ve still made a friend for life, and rest assured the love of your life is still out there, somewhere, waiting.
