Get to Know Your Crush!

Hi girls!

You know, sometimes I wish I were in the movies. Well, actually, I wish that ALL the time! But, I find myself especially jealous of those girls in Hollywoodland who get PUSHED together with a cute boy by outside forces. Like, Gabriella and Troy when they sang Karaoke. It ALWAYS works out that the boy ends up liking the girl and the girl ends up liking the guy, and everyone’s happy.

But, what if you and your crush AREN’T pushed together… ever? Like, you’re not in the same class, you don’t have the same friends, and you feel like you’re just meant to stare at him from afar… oh, so romantic!

Romantic, but frustrating. So, how DO you get to know your crush when it seems like the forces of nature are keeping you APART? Read on for my secrets.

Use your resources. If your crush is in your friend’s class (lucky!), talk to her about casually dropping your name in here and there. Like, “Hey, that was a great story you read today in class. My friend Charlotte is a really good writer, too.” Or, if he plays on your brother’s soccer team, go to the games and say “hi” or “good game”—not too hard, right?

Focus on his strengths. If you are talking to your crush casually from time to time and need another excuse to talk to him, think about his strengths and what he’s into. Like, if he’s really into music, you could ask him to recommend which Rolling Stones CD is the best to get for your dad or something. Also, everyone likes to talk about stuff that they’re good at. Bring up a sport he likes or ask him a question about something he knows a LOT about. Chances are, he won’t give you a one-word answer!

Be BOLD. No, really, you gotta be bold sometimes when there are no forces of nature pushing you and your crush together. You have to make it happen for yourself! Yeah, you can have your BFF talk to his friend, but that route can take AGES for anything to happen. Sometimes, you just gotta go up to him, smile, and say “hi!” It shows confidence and friendliness—which are GREAT qualities to have. And, it’s not like you have to single him out, either. Say hey-what’s-up to all his friends, or challenge his group of guys to a soccer match against your group of girls. Sometimes things seem a lot easier when you have your girls behind you!

Crushing from afar might seem impossible, but there ARE ways to get to know your crush when you’re not already in the same group of friends, or neighbors, or picked to sing Karaoke together. Got an idea? Share the wealth! (And, if you have a few minutes to spare, take the time to answer the questions on our NEW bf/gf survey!)

Forces of nature aside, what are some of YOUR ways to get to know your crush?

Dear wuvelygal5,

There is no reason you cant be friends with your crush beause whats better than getting to be with your crush all the time instead of breaking up with him. I say stay friends with your crush because I think that your friendship an last forever if you do that and nobody will be confused. or if you really do want to get serious than sort of think about it first because u wouldnt want to wreck things with him! Hope that helps!

ALL GIRLS PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!! advice: be yourself! maybe thats the answer for all girls to get a guy to like or notice them, maybe he'll like you for yourself and if he doesn't he's obviously not the right guy for you. If have a guy problem myself and i'm not gonna see him again for a while so I have plenty of time to relax and stop freaking out over him. But you should wear what you want to wear, act how you want to act and hang with who you wanna ahng with. Let him know who you are and that you are a "what you see is what you get" type of girl don't change your personality to get a boy to like you because maybe he already does, and if you change he might stop liking you because the girl he likes is the real you. I hope that all you girls read this and take my advice!

Dear Muga123,
Ok well what I would say is and i have given this advice to another girl before but anyway see which boy u liked first because that boy you probably attracted to first and u probably like liked him first. So thats what I would do or which ever one seems more fun to be with because if he isnt fun then what is the point of going out with him so yeah. Also this is where your heart kicks in because you need to make the desition and no one else can. Hope that helps a bit!!

AveryBubbleGum writes:

well i get to know my crush by talking to him first because you dont know if he even will talk to you or not so,i talk to him first then when he talks,Bingo one score for you!But that doesn't neccessary tells you he likes you.So after he talks ask his interest and ask him whats his hobbies or does he likes to play sports.When he tells you everything that makes you friends already because its been 20 minutes so,after he says everything just normally ask Do you wanna be friends?But in a kind normal voice,don't show him you like him,like if your head is facing down and when your talking separately.That tells him your shy and you like him,so just be brave and make your body straightand sy it normally and smileing but by the way dont make it forceful.Then when he says no just say,ok i understand but that doesn't tell us we cant talk to each other right?.The other and,if he says yes just say,Thats great now that were friends we cantalk and sit by each other at lunch and say that in a happy way too.Or anything else you want to say but it happy!Then when 10 weeks passd and you didn't make a mistake you really like him,just go up to him and say,_______(his name), I liked you at the very beginning we met each other!So please can you please go out with me?Then when he ay yes your lucky but dont be happy he might dump you so be prepared if your going to love someone!but if no, just think of someone else and if you really loved him move on your already dumped you cant do anything about.think aout it your better to move on smilies/cheesy.gif

Dear Softballgirl14,
There is no real right way to tell your crush you like him. The best advice I would give you is do what your heart tells you if the time feels right go ahead and tell him and if it doesnt there is no rush. But if you do decide to tell him tell him it maybe privatly because I wouldnt want there to be so many people knowing I like someone. The way you should tell him is ... i like you thats really all you have to say and also you can add in if u want to go out sometime i am available or something like that! but if i was put in the spot i would totally ask my friend to do it for me! Hope that helps!!

All Girls read this K!,
Everyone is haveing this prob. You can't tell the guy you like that you like, like him! Well this new year when you all go back to school you are going to tell him that you like, like him! And this is how you are going to do it! K!.............. You get him alone and say hay I really like, like you and I was wondering if you like, like me? It is fine if you don't I was just wondering because people have told me you do. So do you? If he say Yes then great and if he say no then say that is fine we are sill friends right?! The last thing you want to do is reck your friendship! K! And if he say yes then say I would like to take thing slow. Ok!?! Tell me if this helps! K! We all need to take chances this new year! K! So lets do it together K! Tell me if that helps everyone! K! Oh and I hope everyone had a Wonderful Christmas! -Sidnee#8 smilies/cool.gif

This is a hard situation! It's like you love your friend and you want her to be happy, but the green monster (aka, jealousy) keeps creeping up on you! No matter what happens, remember that there isn't a lot you can do to MAKE someone like you. The best thing you can do is hold your head high and support your friend. In the meantime, try to get to know some other boys!

How do you tell a guy that you like him?

Well, there are tons of ways to tell a boy you like him, but keep in mind that telling him face to face is the best way to tell him exactly the way you feel and exactly in the way you want to tell him. You know? Messages get messed up when to have a friend do it. Or, if even if you send him a note, things might not come out the way you want them to. So, even though it's probably the scariest way, face-to-face is the best way to keep things between you and him.

Advice in need!
So, I'm 13. I like 1 boy, who's 16. Well we are good friends, very good friends actually. I have crush on him. I told him that I have. But he is not ready for girlfriend. I don't want to wait for lucky me. He is not very good looking, but almost EVERY girl likes him. What should I do?

Whoa... I, personally, feel like there is a big difference between being 13 and being 16. In fact, I'd say he is too old for you. People might disagree, but I feel like 16-year-olds are like... old! They do stuff I am soooooo not ready for. So, even though you have feelings for him, think about what's good for YOU and what YOU'RE ready for (even if it's just crushing from afar) instead of worrying about him.

Dear Softballgirl14,
WOW thats a lot of conflict! I would say is first tell your crush in person not by note that you like him i know that is scary trust me i can relate but i think if you tell him u will feel a lot better . Secondly after you told him you like him sort of notice how he acts around you and see if he likes you because if you look and see how he acts i think you will be able to tell!
Hope that helps!!!

Well, who is the most important person to YOU in this situation? YOU of course! So, if this boy does not treat you with respect, you have to realize that he's not a good person to be around. Why would you want to have a crush on a boy who would do something like that?! You deserve better, girl!

At lunch, I sit in a group of like 9 people (girls and guys). The guy I like is one of those people. I've liked him for a while, and I told my friend, then she told him when I was absent one day. When I came back, I denied it, and my friend caught on. I'm pretty sure he doesn't think I like him anymore, but I know I still do. He's in 3/6 of my classes, and like I mentioned earlier, I sit with him and a few others at lunch. The other kids at our lunch table always talk about how we'd make a cute couple, and whenever they bring it up, he always gets quiet... I catch him staring at me in class sometimes, too. However, 99% of the guys in our grade like this one girl, and the guy I like and his friends talk about liking her too... Does he like me or the other girl? I have a feeling that the me liking him secret is gonna leak out soon, and I'm scared. My friends were encouraging me to tell him, and I even wrote him a note explaining everything the last day before we got out for Christmas break, but I couldn't find the courage to give him the note.

I think that I'm ready to tell him, but how? And how do I know if he likes me or not? If I told him, how bad would it effect our friendship? Please respond soon, because I have a feeling that something's gonna happen when we go back to school in early January...and I wan't to be prepared.

So sorry for the delay! But, I'm always here for you girls. First, you should totally get rid of that note. Seriously. Put it through a shredder! In situations like these, it's important for things to go down YOUR way. So, if someone found the note, there's no telling what could happen to it.

That also applies to your friends. Whatever happens in school, try not to let your friends pressure you into doing or saying something you don't want to.

And, I think boys (just like girls) tend to follow the crowd -- especially when with their friends at school. So, it sounds like this kid is probably just talking about this girl to fit in. It's pretty much impossible for 99% of guys to all like this girl. Every boys likes different things about different girls.

So, (this is a book, huh?) think about what freaks you out and what you feel comfortable with in this situation. And remember: your relationship with this boy (no matter what kind it is) is supposed to be between YOU and HIM. Good luck!

You know what I've noticed? Girls seem to like to talk about feelings and emotions way more than boys do. So, trying to have a heart-2-heart discussion with a boy might not be the same as a heart-2-heart with your BFF. It is frustrating, but keep that in mind! Good luck!

Then, he passed a note to my other friend that said " I actually do like her but don't tell her because it will be awkward" but she showed the note to her anyway.HELP US!!! Please help me help her shes counting on us!!!!

DRAMA! lol! Well, it seems like the problem here is with the BOY. Like, why would he tell your friend's friend how he really felt if he didn't want your friend to find out? Hello! Plus, if your friend doesn't feel the same way about him, all she has to do is be sensitive about his feelings, but make it clear that she's not cool with being bf/gf.

Yes! It does sound like it is very hard to choose. But, you know what? Who said anything about choosing? I think it's totally OK to be friends with both to see who you have the better friend-vibe with. Then, you've gained two friends, and it'll be easier to know which one (or neither!) is right for you down the line.

Also if he looks at u all the time he is probably admiring how pretty u are! i always look at my crushes too!! Hope that helps u!!!

Dear Maeve,
Some ways to get to know my crush would be ...
1.)when ever i see my crush I walk by and say hello and ask him how are things going and just have a regular conversation.
2.)Then I would just hang-out with him for example:go to the movies , go to a restrauant and eat dinner with friends or something like that.
3.)call him talk to him , get to know him like get ot know his faves and before you know your crush will begin to like you and you will likev him/her.

Sounds like a GREAT plan!

Mileymina, Well, this could go two ways. Your friend did kinda put this guy on the spot, so he might have said no because he was nervous. (after all, guys are ALWAYS trying to look "cool" in front of their friends, it's REALLY stupid smilies/sad.gif

) Or..he might not feel the same way about you as you do him. smilies/sad.gif

I know that's kinda hard to hear, but if that's the case, it's his loss!

My advice, is if you wanna know for sure, pull him aside, somewhere where you two are totally alone, and say "I know you said you don't like me the other day, but we were in front of a lot of people, and if I had been in your situation, I probably would've been nervous, so I wanted to know the 100% truth." Then, if he says no, just be like "Okay, whatever." Don't make a big deal out of it. If he says yes. then you just leave it alone, cause if he does say yes, the ball's in his court and its time for him to step up and ask you out.(Unless you wanna ask him out) GOOD LUCK! Let me know how it turns out!

Ohmigosh, a TON of girls feel this way! I mean, if you think about it, you're just talking... and talking is something you do every day with people. The nerves are probably because you're afraid of what he'll say (maybe even afraid of what you'll say). Just keep reminding yourself how cool and interesting you are, and how talking to him can be just like talking to any other new friend. Don't let your crush on him make you feel critical of YOURSELF. That's important!

I REALLY LIKE THIS GUY AND WE WENT OUT FOR A WILE BUT IT DIDDNT WORK OUT BETWEEN US AND I STILL REALLY REALLY LIKE HIM

WHAT SHOULD I DO????????

MARTYMAN

Think about WHY things didn't work out... sometimes, two people who like each other just can't make it work. Like, take my parents. They LOVE each other, but decided it was too difficult to live together as husband and wife. Now, I'm not saying you and this guy are husband and wife, BUT if there is any lesson to be learned from my parents' situation, it's that you need to focus on how you two get along and whether you're good for each other -- not just on feeling that butterflies-in-the-stomach crush feeling.

ok i have a crush on a boy we r friends but i dont know if he likes me back

what should i do

Oooh... I know a LOT of girls on this page are going through the same thing. Unless you come right out and ask a boy, it's difficult to know for sure whether he likes you. But, a crush is all about wanting to spend more time with someone and wanting to get to know them better. As friends, it sounds like you're already on the right track. So, unless you feel like you want to ask him point-blank, focus on your friendship with him and see what happens down the road.

Gorgeousgirl325, Okay, number one, never, ever, EVER think that a boy is "to cute" for you! Get some confidence girl!!! We're all beautiful in our own way! And about being weird, WE'RE ALL WEIRD! And just so you know, im friends with lots of guys, and a lot of them think being weird is cool! Guys like it when you're just real with them, they don't like it when a girl puts on some, "Miss prim and perfect" act. And if this guy can't see how great of a person you really are, then you're to good for him' & that's his loss!

OK, two things. First of all, you have to believe that you ARE pretty and that you ARE interesting. That's important for YOU to believe, never mind the boys. It is so important for girls to learn to love and accept themselves -- that is first and foremost! The second thing is that newsflash: EVERYONE is weird. No, really. Everyone is a little weird in his or her own way. That's what makes us unique and different. So, embrace your inner weirdness! It's part of what makes you a beautiful YOU!

Sometimes, not wanting to go out with someone doesn't really have to do with the PERSON. It could just be that he's not ready to be bf/gf, which is totally normal and totally fine. Just like you'd want a boy to respect your decision about going out, you'll have to respect his. But, no need to ignore him. Send out the friendship vibe, and who know what will happen down the road!

OMG!!! Thats something that happenes in my school with the switch of the classes! On that morning when we were finding out what class i was in my heart was like pumping because I wanted to be with my friends and my crush! So anyway I think that if your boyfriend said the only girl he likes is u i think that builds trust between you 2. So I think u should ignore this girl and just know u guys are together and that she is totally not going to take him. Plus he is ur boyfriend and doesnt she know that? i try not to get a crush on someone who already has a girlfriend so.I would try to still maybe ignore this girl and trust me if this was me i would totally be really mad at this girl!

then you need to break up with your boy friend and tell him that is why and you don't want to be apart of something that is point less! So just stay out of this (if you can!)

He assured me that he only llikes me, but I can't help but be concerned. I trust my boyfriend, its this girl i don't trust! Can somebody give me advice?
Thanx! xoxo Jeanzqueen17

Eeek! This is an awkward situation. What SHOULD happen is that this girl should realize your guy is taken and back off on the crush vibe. But, that doesn't always happen. It's great that you trust your boyfriend and that he says you're the only one he likes, but YOU also have to feel secure. Remind yourself that even though this girl might spend some time with him in class, you've known him longer and you probably know him better. The seven-year friendship isn't something she can compete with ;-) So, keep the jealousy in check and focus on the friendship that exists between the TWO of you -- not the THREE of you!

Well you know how my crush went to Hawaii? Well he came back and we (me and my family) got to go see him and well..... He keep looking at me the whole time I was at his house. Looking at me like you are so, so cute! And he was trying (a lot)to hang out with me but there was a lot of people there and I think he though it would be weird to hang out with me insted of his couions. So what should I do when he comes to my house for new years? I need help should I make a move? And if I should what should I do? HELP PLEASE! Thanks Sidnee#8 smilies/cool.gif

Oooh... celebrating New Year's Eve with him sounds like fun! I'm not totally sure what you mean by "make a move," but if you TRUST him and feel ready, then there's little reason to be afraid. I mean, from this post and your previous posts, it sounds like this guy really likes and RESPECTS you!

Keep in mind that making a move is not like jumping off a cliff or anything. Like, if you guys hold hands or something New Year's Eve, and then you feel weird about it later, you don't have to hold hands with him again if you don't want to. Just be honest with him -- and encourage him to be honest with you -- about what comes next. Let us know what happens!!!

You should definitely wait to go out with him (or any boy!) if you don't feel ready. It's def a compliment that he keeps asking you out, but he needs to understand that "no, thank you" means "NO, THANK YOU!" But, it's not an all-or-nothing deal. Keep telling him that you'd like to be friends, but that you're not ready to be bf/gf with anyone. There's nothing wrong with that!

Drama! No one can escape! Sometimes, we really have no control over who we have crushes on. It's almost scientific fact that you have chemistry with some people and with others, you don't.

Maeve, I have a question. I have a best guy friend and there is this other guy. Both are in my class. The other guy I have a crush on, so I asked him out and he said yes! My guy friend knows that I like him and is friends with my crush. When I told him that we were going on a date, he just said " Oh! I'm so happy for you!" in a way that says " I'm faking this". He seems upset so I think that he is jealous that I made a date with my crush and my guy friend likes me. Is it true? Because you are like a Boy expert. smilies/grin.gif

Ha! Well, I dunno about expert, but I've seen plenty of movies that cover the whole boy/girl thing. It sounds like your guy friend might have a little crush on you, so he's probably feeling a little bit jealous of the other guy. But, it WILL pass eventually. In the meantime, be sensitive to his feelings and try not to let your relationship with his friend interfere with their "guy time," you know? Good luck!

	DOes anyone have any topics to tlak about? Those really help sometimes. Like Maeve says, ask about what ind of sports he likes, and if you don't really know anything about it (or don't really like it) either ask him who his favorite players are, what the point of the game is, or what team he likes, things like that. Or tell him about your sport. What have you got to lose?

I kinda like this guy, but I only like him cuz I think he likes me. He's into sports and we have most of our classes together. We don't really talk though, but I am kind of friends with one of his friends. It's hard cuz I don't know how he feels. I'm really confused!! Plus, I'm like Charlotte--a HUGE blusher!! Like I'll blush at almost nothing. What do I do about THAT?!

Sadly, there's not much you can do about blushing. It just HAPPENS, usually at bad times. But, almost EVERYONE does it, so there's nothing to be ashamed of. More importantly, if you only like this boy because he likes you, think about whether it's a REAL crush that goes both ways. Just because someone likes you, it doesn't mean you have to like him back... but, it does make you notice him, doesn't it? LOL!

Nikkoli,
This is one of thoes he cares what other people think. Show him you don't care what other people think! Ask him out in private. And ask him this....... do you care what other people think? If he says no they say um it seems like you do to me your friends are telling you not to go out with me! And if he says yes then ask him why?!?! And if he says yes then this does not seem like the kind of guy you can have! Go for what you want! K! Tell me if that helps! K!

Such a tough situation! It's like choosing between your friend and a boy. But, if you are being honest and upfront about the situation with your friend, then it's her job to accept it and believe you. If you feel like going out with this boy will cause you and your BFF to fight, then think about whether going out with him is worth it :-)

I even made up a nickname 4 him and she told him that she made it up and he loved it but when I told him that I made it up he said no you didn't

What's that new Ashley Tisdale song? "He Said, She Said?" That's what your prob sounds like! You're being a good BFF by not running to your friend to tell her what he said. It's HIS job to tell her how he feels -- NOT yours. The best way to not let this boy come between you and your BFF is to not do his dirty work for him! You can almost never go wrong by being loyal and honest to your BFFs.

Signed nikkioli

Oooh... sounds like bit of a tangle -- like in my hair in the morning! Clearly, this boy isn't comfortable making decisions on his own. As I'm sure you know, some people have trouble making up their own minds and staying true to their own beliefs. So, until this boy is ready to do that, I think it's time to cool it on the crush. Try not to talk about him at school where other people can hear and tell your brother to M.Y.O.B. (Mind Your Own Business!)

Cool! So, you've noticed him, huh? One high five doesn't tell you a lot about him, though, so try to get to know him or kind of observe how he acts to see if he's a good kid or not before you go into full-fledged crushing mode!

Just because a boy asks you out, it does not mean you have to say yes -- even if you like him back! Telling a boy you like him or going out with him is something you should only do when you feel READY. Don't let him or anyone else pressure you into doing something you don't want to do!

You know, I find that it's hard to "get" boys to do or think ANYTHING. Friends liking each other as more-than-friends needs to happen naturally if it is meant to be. But, changing your personality or wardrobe or stuff like that is definitely not the way to try to get him to see you as more than a gal pal. If you guys are friends, then he already likes you just the way you are. If there's more to it, it'll happen when the time is right :-)

Dear HollyWood24,
I totally know what you mean!! There is this boy who is in my class and in art one day his friends came up to me and they are like he likes you and like i reallyu liked him so i kind of blushed because it was practically in front of the whole class! But he will never tell me to my face that he likes me! Its almost like the same prob. So what i would do is talk to him and maybe he is like a little nervous about telling you because sometimes i am nervous about that kind of stuff too. So I think you should talk to him and make him feel comfertable with you!!
Hope that helps! Best of luck!

Hmmm... I think that if this boy asks you out, tell him you need some time to think before you get back to him. Talk to your friend about what happened, and ask how she would feel if you said yes (if that's what you want). You don't have to say no if she says she's uncomfortable with it, but asking her opinion shows that you respect your friendship and it gives you another perspective to think about. Good luck!

Maeve or any other BSG fan,
There is this boy that sits behind my friend in social. He recently told her that he liked me and she asks him everyday and he slways says yes! I kinda like him too and he's in the school play just like me! I try to casually strike up a conversation or "accedentally" sit next to him, but he always ignores me! I catch him staring at me but if he knows i'm looking he looks away. He's really good at pretending (i guess thats why he got a part in the play!) but I want him to just we straight forward and tell me! So he knows that I know! HOW?!

I bet a LOT of girls here have been in this situation, right? I feel like most boys have the same feelings as girls: you have a crush on someone... and yet you're TERRIFIED by him! If this boy likes you (like he says he does), then he must be having trouble showing it, which is normal. He could be afraid of messing up in front of you or afraid of showing his feelings. YOU can put him at ease by talking to him a little every day so that he can relax a bit. If he still ignores you, try not to take it personally. Ignoring you is just a way for him to protect HIMSELF.

Maeve,
I'm in theatre in my town (I was recently in the production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs). One of the dwarfs, the head dwarf actually, was really cute! One day I was in the house of the Drama Center and this guy whom I really didn't like at all! The guy I liked was looking for a seat, so I scooted over one seat and told him to seat between me and the other guy. He sat down and we started talking and we became good friends. Later on he became my first boyfriend! I had to break up with him though because our friendship was too strong and it was ockward!

That's sooo true! When you have a crush on someone, it's like they seem like the greatest person EVER. But, once you get to know him as a friend, you'll see that he's only human and makes a mistake here and there -- just like us!
