CRUSHES

“Compliments! People are flattered when they receive a compliment." –Rita C., 15 

“I go up to him and just start a basic convo like, ‘Hey, sup.’ Then, after we've been chatting it up, I usually just notice what he's wearing, holding, etc., and start a convo based on that and flirt a bit. Works every time!” –Tina N., 12

“My best advice is to wait until he is alone or, even better, with a guy friend. Then say something like, ‘Guess what happened last night,’ followed by a story that will make him laugh. It has worked for me, and hopefully it will get a convo started!” – Devi B., 13

“I usually wait until something happens, and he says something, then I say something that relates. So I basically let life start the conversation for me.” –Dana N., 11

“My advice is to say 'Hi' and start a conversation. See what you guys have in common and talk about that. Don't try and just flirt right away, just talk to him like you would a normal person. Be yourself, don't make things up, so that he will like you. Make him like you for who you are, not who you aren't. They'll like you for that. Trust me—this works for me.” –Rachel S. 14
