Have a Phone Call With Your Crush

After a bit of public demand from several people, the article "How To Have a Phone Call With Your Crush" has been created. With lots of detailed information about just how to break the ice, what not to do, and more, it's partly How and partly just Advice, which some people need! Enjoy!

Steps

  1. First of all, if you don't have the number of your crush, this won't work. So, to get the number of your crush, the only way to do it right is simply ask. If they're popular, they might be used to it. But the only way to get it is ask, however frightening it might be. So if you can't do that, it's best to abandon this article and go to one titled 'How to Get Your Crush's Number'. See Warnings for more information.
  2. Call. The first sentence of this step might be simple, and quite frankly it is simple. If a parent answers, say "May I Talk to (insert crush's name here)?" If they ask who you are, the safest answer is "A friend from school." If they still persist and ask questions, answer them as honestly and sweetly as possible. DO NOT hang up if they get annoying. This is the off switch for ever contacting a guy or girl.
  3. When your crush finally answers and most likely says "Hello," you might usually say, "Hi." but don't leave it at that! If this is your first time calling, or even your second or third, that's a conversation stopper! Say, "Hey, (crush's name)! It's me, (your name)... remember, you gave me your number at school today." Usually this will start a conversation, but if it doesn't and he/she just says, "Oh... hey..." start a topic on something you know about them. "So... how did your basketball team do this week?" or "So, did you get that homework from Ms. L done? I still can't seem to figure out problem 5." Although talking about homework is only if the conversation is in real danger.
  4. If they ask why you asked for their number, then say to them, "Oh, I don't know. I like calling people, I guess." and then laugh. Then, if they are silent, or just say "Oh." then reply, "So, what's up with you?" RED LIGHT! If THEY say "What's up with you?" do not reply, "Nothing." that can stop a conversation. If you really can't think of anything, then say "Nothing" but quickly counter with, "What's up with you?". But if they say nothing as well, that can lead to a real problem, so stop the problem before you start it and when they say "What's up?" say, "I'm alright, just finished working on 'painting my bedroom' before I called." that can start a conversation.
  5. Whenever you both get silent, ask a question such as, "So... are you planning to go anywhere for (insert holiday or break here)?" if there is a holiday break coming up. Or, "Hey, do you have a (facebook, twitter, myspace, etc.) account?". Only ask this if you want to remain in contact with them AND if you have that same account that you ask them if they have.
  6. Don't ask them out over the first phone call! Wait until you guys are comfortable with each other on the phone and talk like friends. If that's the second phone call, fine. If that's the twenty-third phone call, also fine. Take as little or as much time as you need.
  7. At the end of the phone call, if you say got to go, say to them, "So... want me to call you back tomorrow?" if they say got to go, then ask them, "So, I'll talk to you tomorrow maybe?" their replies to these tell you if they want to talk. DON'T CALL if they sound like they'll be busy. And don't call every night. Maybe wait a space of two or three nights between calls unless they specifically tell you to call on a special day. But don't make your calling regular, like, 'Day One, Day Two, Day Three- Call! Day One, Day Two, Day Three- Call!'. Mix and match how much you call a bit.

Tips

  • Practise in front of a mirror, imaging what you and your crush might talk about (making a list if you're likely to forget might help). The first time you'll feel really weird but you'll be calm and collected for the phone call, when it really matters.
  • Write up a list of topics to discuss when on the phone.
  • Don't wait for them to ask for your number. Ask them! Chances are, if they like you, they'll be too nervous as well! Take charge!
  • Call! Don't ask for their number and then procrastinate, because then they'll think you just asked to HAVE it, and not actually call, which is a red light.

Warnings

  • DO NOT get your crushes number from a friend then just call them. It leaves them creeped out and is NOT the way to start a conversation. Plus, "Who are you?", being the first sentence they'll probably say, is not a good conversation starter.
