Steps
Rehearsing what you'll ask
- Rehearse first. Grab a mirror and look into your own eyes and say something passionate. Say it as if you were saying it to your crush.
Preparing yourself
- Wear nice clothes. This isn't just to impress your crush; it's also about giving yourself the confidence to stand tall because you know you look your best. Iron your clothes, choose ones that you like the most and wear them well.
Asking out your crush
- Wait for an opportune moment. It's a good idea to locate your crush when he or she is either alone or not with many people. Asking someone out in front of a group of people not only places added pressure on you but it's likely to embarrass your crush and he or she might respond in a way opposite to the one they really wish. You don't want to pressure your crush into saying yes even if he or she might have doubts or to cause him or her to say no just to seem cool in front of people.
- Strike up the conversation. Go up to your crush and say something sweet and funny. For example: "Hey! I haven't seen you in a while. I was just about to put your face on a milk carton." Let your crush respond.
- Get to the point. Look into your crush's eyes and say these exact words, "Wondering if you have a girl/guy. 'Cause I'm always free. And I would like to have you as a boyfriend/girlfriend."
- Depending on the guy or girl, you might want to be a bit more vague, especially if there are others around. There is no point in publicly embarrassing both of you if he or she says no.
- If your crush says yes, be happy. Say that you're really pleased and ask if it's a good time to arrange a date.
- If your crush says that he or she isn't interested, say thanks for considering your request. Avoid throwing a tantrum, storming off or crying. Look strong, be strong and make it seem that you're okay with that response. Inside you might be crushed by your crush but show a good side. After all, he or she might be assessing your reaction and could actually need time to think about your request. If you show that you're courageous and have a sense of self worth, it may just be enough to change that person's mind later.
Tips
- A little flirting never hurt.
- Keep things casual when you ask your crush out.
- When you talk to your crush, act like he/she is your best friend.
- If rejected feel proud that you worked up the courage to ask in the first place.
- If your crush does say no just keep a distance from him and say it was no big deal but if your are embarrassed by them saying no just pretend it was a dare or something.
- Wear nice clothes, have fresh smelling breath and wear a little bit of makeup. This way, he might feel comfortable. If you want to go natural, don't wear any makeup. Or if you know that he likes natural girls, don't wear makeup! Good luck!
- Make sure to know if he/she is already in a relationship. You don't want to come off looking like a fool.
- Make sure you don't waste your time on someone who's being stupid.
Warnings
- Don't overdo what you wear, your makeup, etc. And don't try to be someone you aren't just to impress your crush.
- Don't act stuck up or superior around your crush. You may suffer from nerves but that's not an excuse to come across as arrogant.
- Don't freak out if he or she says no or yes. Stay calm, thank them and say something nice, like "maybe some other time, you're a really great person" or just say a simple "thanks for considering me" and leave it at that.
- Don't say creepy jokes.
