CRUSHES

Even though it seems like it was Christmas, like, yesterday, Valentine’s Day is now less than a month away. If you're not into going solo or rocking Galentine's Day this February 14th, we’re here to help you nail down the bae of your dreams.

This year, it's all about taking a stand. Finally ask out that cute guy you can’t stop glancing at during algebra class, fearlessly flirt with the sweetie from art or even just return a smile to your hunky home ec partner. There's no better time than now to go for what you want, so continue reading to find out what tips we have to help you turn the person you're eyeing into your *actual* Valentine’s Day boo.

Start talking more *now*

The sooner you start talking, the more you’ll *really* get to know each other. Go right up to them and ask a quick Q about the math homework, simple as that.

Be a good friend

Every solid relationship starts with a solid friendship. Don’t take things too fast, but make sure they know that you’re a totally cool chick to have around. 

Step up your flirting game

If you’re trying to impress a potential valentine, make sure you’re still acting like your true self. Sometimes flirting can get a little out of hand. Joke around, smile and wave and even learn a few *decent* pick-up lines, but make sure you’re not doing or saying anything you wouldn't normally.

Be prepared with what you want to say

We’re not telling you to write out an entire script, but having a good idea of what you want to talk about with your potential bae is super helpful. Why? You'll be calm cool and collected now that you won’t need to think of a super interesting topic right on the spot.

Have killer confidence

There’s nothing more attractive than a girl with confidence. With this trait, you'll definitely rule the world—on Valentine's Day, especially.

Be hinty

Dropping hints here and there will show someone that you’re interested. Compliment their shoes, ask about their fam, etc. Everyone loves a bit of attention!

Pass ‘em a Valentine

‘Tis the season of love, so why just not sneak in a Valentine in their backpack? It’s a nice gesture and they'll see how much you care—too *cute*. 

Just do it!

At the end of the day, you won’t know their answer unless you actually ask. So we’re challenging *you* to go out there and get the one you’ve been waiting for. You can do it!

How will you *woo* your crush away this V-Day? Share your ideas in the comments below!
