CRUSHES

Think of this guy as if he was already your friend. Even if you didn’t have classes with your fave girlie, you would still make time to hang out with her, right? This sitch is no different, except you’re not quite buddy-buddy just yet.

To get to that stage—and maybe move in to BF/GF territory—you’ve got to bite the bullet and make the first move. Be casual about it and ask if he’d like to grab a slice of pizza after your school’s next half-day. Or mention the awesome new action flick you can’t wait to see—and oh, hey, would he like to come? Maybe Saturday afternoon?

The key is to strike up friendly conversations so you two can find some common interests, and then start exploring those interests together. Before you know it, you two will be thisclose.
