How To Know If A Boy Likes You

How to Talk to Your Crush and Make Them Fall for You!

How to talk to your crush

The thought of striking a conversation with your crush could make you feel like you have butterflies in your stomach.

But if you take things slow, and focus on the three stages mentioned in the introduction, the attention stage, the chemistry stage and finally the conversation stage, you'd realize that even before you start talking to your crush, your crush would already have a crush on you!

STAGE 3 – 8 ways to initiate a conversation

If you followed the first two stages to the tee, your crush probably likes you already, and they'd assume they're the one who has a crush on you, and not the other way around. Now all you need to do is initiate a conversation subtly, without making it too obvious that you're looking for excuses to chat them up.

Use these 8 ways to initiate a conversation with your crush. You can use just one of these tips, or use many of them. As long as you don't make it obvious that you're faking a meet-cute, it's all perfect for you!

But just a word of caution to play it safe, don't stretch the first time you talk to your crush into a long conversation immediately unless there's a good opportunity to do so. It should be brief and quick, and should be just long enough to make both of you feel like acquaintances.

#1 Ask for help. The easiest way to chat up a crush is by asking them for help. If you notice your crush standing nearby, pretend like you're looking for something, a book or a particular person. Look around dramatically and impatiently, and pretend like you're almost panicking because you're already late for something.

And all of a sudden, lock eyes with your crush, and ask them a question, "hey... did you notice a book lying around here?" or "I'm sorry, but did you see a girl walk past here just now?"

Once your crush answers your question, continue to look around for a few more seconds, and exchange a fleeting glance, nod or smile and walk away like you're flustered and busy. Don't start a conversation here, or it'll appear like you were just faking it to chat them up. There's always a next time to talk to your crush for longer.

#2 Drop something. If you're walking in front of your crush or walking past them, *accidentally* drop something of little value like a pen or a piece of paper. As long as your crush sees it fall, they'd definitely use the excuse to strike a conversation with you. And even if your crush doesn't notice it falling, you have nothing to lose.

#3 Use social media. Comment on something your crush comments on, as long as both of you have a common friend. You don't need to answer your crush directly, just be seen by them. Your crush will surely check your facebook page and try to get to know more about you.

You need to remember that the secret behind getting a crush to like you is to make them believe they're the ones who are more curious about you!

#4 Smile while walking past your crush. When you're walking past your crush and their friends aren't around, just smile fleetingly or say hi to your crush. Don't stop and chat though, just say hello and walk past them.

As long as you've built the chemistry up in the earlier stages, your crush would be waiting to talk to you the very next time both of you bump into each other.

#5 Get friendly with your crush's friends. Do both of you share any common friends? Try to get to know them better. Don't tell this friend about your crush. Instead, just try to strike up a conversation with the friend now and then. It's a great way to get to know your crush without approaching them directly.

#6 Use your friends. If you're hanging out with your friends and your crush walks past you or sits down somewhere near you, use your friends to send the message across. When they tease you or constantly stare at your crush, it would embarrass your crush while making them fall for you harder.

#7 Bumping into each other. If you bump into your crush, accidentally or otherwise, don't be shy. Instead of walking away or looking the other way, smile, wave or say hello. Both of you have been exchanging glances for far too long to miss out on an opportunity like this! But keep the conversation short the first time.

#8 Send a facebook request. If both of you have been exchanging flirty glances on the streets and commenting on the same posts on facebook, that's enough of an excuse to get friendly online. After all, chatting on facebook does take a huge load of pressure off face to face conversations.

After the first conversation – Don't overdo it

When both of you start waving hellos and talking to each other, your crush may give you a lot of attention, but don't get clingy or fall all over your crush. Play it cool and make it seem like mutual interest rather than a one sided crush. Avoid giving too much attention all at once, and your crush will pursue you just as much as you pursue them.

Avoid falling into the friend zone. This usually happens when you go out of your way to help your crush. Be nice and friendly, but tease your crush and leave them hanging instead of trying to please them all the time.
