CRUSHES

Being in a relationship might seem exciting, daring, and even exhilarating, but sometimes it’s best to just appreciate the good friends you have and avoid rushing into anything serious.

See where he stands

Before convincing yourself that your crush is destined to be your next boyfriend, talk it out with him and see where his feelings lie. Rather than blurting out your newly-realized feelings for him, take the time to see if your crush is even interested in getting serious with a girl and if he is willing to commit.

Figure out if your own feelings are real

Ask yourself the important questions: Am I making this guy my prince charming or does he really fit all of the qualifications I need? Rushing into a relationship can be dangerous, but also fun at times. So rather than telling yourself you have just met Mr. Perfect, figure out if he is really all you need! It isn’t worth your time to settle for someone just for the sake of being in a relationship, so take the time to figure out if your “crush” is best friend or boyfriend material.

Get to know him better

The best way to see who this guy really is would be to place him in a situation with way more people than just you two. First, see how he treats you in public. Does he still act like Prince Charming or does he ignore you the second other peeps are around. Second, in a more relaxed setting, talk to him about his likes and dislikes and see how much you guys have in common. Usually guys tend to be more open and fun when they aren’t so concentrated about impressing you. Hopefully his other guy friends will ease the tension and nerves floating around the room. Plus, this social mixer with lots of your gal pals and your crush’s buds might be the perfect environment to meet more guy friends.
