You really want to chat with your crush online, but you're super nervous about starting up a conversation. What are you supposed to do now? No worries—we've got your back. We'll walk you through exactly how to chat with your crush over email so you can enjoy a meaningful and cool conversation.
Steps
-
Find out your crush's email. You'll need their email to get things going.
-
Present yourself in a cool way. Don't sound like you're a know-it-all. Be clear with your message, but still flirtatious. For example if they ask "What's for homework?", simply answer with the list of what's for homework and coyly add that they should email or call if they need some help with it.
- If your crush keeps emailing, score! You've got 'em, but make sure they like you back before mentioning something personal or intimate.
- If you are smarter than your crush, make no comments that are sarcastic, confusing or unanswerable.

Send a friendly message if you haven't heard from them. It can be awkward when your regular conversation stalls. It's okay—be brave and just email "Hi" or "Hey." They should continue the conversation from there.
-
Refrain from being too clingy. Don't continuously check your email. It may just make you feel desperate and less confident.
-
Share your feelings if they confess to you. Don't be scared if they tell you they like you via email. Simply email back with "I like you too," but only if you do, or say "Thanks, but we're just friends," and wait for the next email.
-
Keep going if you get quick replies. You know your crush is hooked if they're replying within 3-5 minutes.
