CRUSHES

How do I get a boy who I really like to notice me? He's popular and girls ask him out all the time... Help me, please!

His Answer: "Talk to him," says Ike Y., 16. "Ask him a question about something about school or something he really likes. Then, after you've been talking for a bit, flirt with him. But don't go oveboard. Just be yourself, and don’t sound desperate. That’s a total turnoff."

Decoded: Guys go running when girls coming on too strong. Confidence is key, but so is keeping things real and just being yourself. 

Your Move: Relax, flash those pearly whites and go for it! Approach him and ask what he did last weekend, what he’s doing for the holidays or his favorite sport to play. Let him know you’re interested by giving him attention, but don’t make yourself sound desperate by laying on the flirtations too thick. Keep it cool, flirt just a little bit and see where things go.
