Catch Your Boyfriend's Attention when Passing Him at School
Having trouble breaking the ice with a boy you really like? Sometimes when you two are new to a relationship, it may be weird or feel funny to start a conversation or to simply say hello in a hallway. Don't make him feel like you don't like him. Pay him attention even if it is just a hello.

Steps
- Where do you usually pass each other in a hallway? Is it during the bustling time when people are pushing each other around or starting a mosh pit? Make sure your timing is good so that chances are he will hear you.
- Be sure to make eye contact so he knows you are talking to him.
- Use his name. Instead of saying "Hey!" which could be meant for anyone in the hall at the moment, say "Hey Ryan!" (or whatever his name is)
- Write a note during your class and drop it on top of his books. Passing notes in the hall can't get you a detention and it shows him that you are interested in talking to him. In the note, write him your new number, a place to meet after school, or just tell him you are so happy to be with him.
- Talk about something that just happened in class. You may just want to say hi, but he may think you want to strike up a conversation (albeit a very short one).
- Remember: if you feel awkward being around him, consider your relationship. Do you guys talk enough? Do you go on dates? Give your relationship sometime but if these feelings continue, it may mean that you should think about breaking up. A relationship is about two people who feel a great bond between each other that is more than "buddies". In some cases this may get confusing but "just friends" may be better than dating.
- If you are in the same class as him try to sit next to him, then make a joke about something in the room, the posters, the students, or the teacher. He will probably laugh, and chances are that he will make an even funnier joke as a response. Soon you'll be having one of the best ever conversations with your bf.
Tips
- If he's with a bunch of his friends, and you don't want to get in the middle or distract him, just give him a little poke or push and keep walking. He'll turn around to see who it is, and see you and be thinking of you. If you want, turn around and flash him a smile.
- Smile... It shows that you are happy to see him and that you are glad to be his girlfriend.
- If your boyfriend is in the hall talking to his group of girl friends, it's still okay to say hi, but you don't want to seem like his obsessed girlfriend who won't let him talk to his girl friends. This would be a good time to use the Poke and Keep Walking strategy. This way he knows that you are interested in him, but you also give him his space.
- Always give him space, or he might feel uncomfortable.
- Don't forget, you can always just plain wave/smile and say "Hi!" as you walk by, the same as you would with any of your other friends. (Hopefully your boyfriend is also your friend. ^_^)
- Kind of make fun of his closest friend that you are comfortable talking to but not in a mean way. He will most likely laugh and think about your humor then he will get off topic and start feeling a connection.
- When walking past touch his hand or shoulder for more physical contact.
- One thing you can do if he happens to walk by you when you're in a bunch of your friends, and you can't really get out from among them right then but you want to let him know you've noticed he's there...just kind of lightly squeeze his shoulder as he walks by, or smile and nod in his direction, or something...you can do these things without even a break in the conversation, if you're good at it.
- Always wear something great to make him fall for you again.
- Always stay in contact with each other otherwise you will lose the connection with him/her.
Warnings
- Watch where you are going. Bumping into someone especially with books in your arms can result in a messy hallway malfunction and can make you late for class. Not only that, but it can also make others mad because the two of you are blocking the way.
