Talk to Your Crush if He Knows You Like Him

It may be hard to have a conversation with the guy who knows you like him. It's not the end of the world, though. Acting normal, putting on a pretty smile and flirting like there's no tomorrow are all tactics you can try - who knows, maybe he'll be into you, too.

Steps

  1. Act normal. It sounds hard, but if you just act and do things the way you normally do when you're around him, he won't see any reason to act differently. The main thing here is to put him at ease.
  2. Find things you have in common. Now that he knows that you like him, odds are he thinks that's pretty cool. At the very least he's got some extra confidence in himself and he has you to thank, so you've got a great chance of becoming good friends with him, and more than friends if you play your cards right. So get him to talk about himself; find things that the two of you can both talk about. It can be anything: recent movies, his and your hobbies, teachers and classes, music, etc.
  3. Always, always smile. It puts him at ease and lets him know you enjoy being around him. If you don't think you have a good looking smile, practice making faces in the mirror (embarrassing, yes, but it really works) until you're confident in all your expressions. Once you've got the muscle sequences down, you're all set.
  4. Employ a few subtle tricks to attract him, without going too far and creeping him out. A really good one is to, while you're talking, look into his eyes for a second, then look away and smile, and blush if you can manage it. Maybe twirl or fix your hair with one hand. He already knows you like him anyway, so what is there to lose!
  5. If you really want to flirt, find excuses to touch him, especially his upper arms. A reassuring tap, a playful punch, anything like that will definitely make him feel more masculine, and guys generally like that.  Also, things like playing with your hair or licking your lips a bit are great ways to flirt. But don't do things like that too often; he might think you are bored, or need Chapstick or something like that.
  6. If he is with his friends, let him have space. Also, make sure you're talking to your friends as well as him or he might think you're not very social. Don't forget, he might be as nervous as you are.
  7. Don't freak out; just stay calm! Be you. Don't change your real self just because you are with the cutest guy in living history!

Tips

  • It's better to flirt and talk to him when his friends aren't around. He won't feel as much pressure and his friends might be jerks who make fun of him/you whenever they see him with you. They might tease him about you, and then he won't want to be around you because of that.
  • Personal hygiene is a must. You know the drill: Shower, use deodorant, keep your skin smooth and moisturized, and use a bit of makeup and/or perfume if you're into it, but not too much. If you are using perfume, it sometimes works if you spray it on the ends of your hair, so that when you leave he can smell the perfume, and if it works right, he won't want you to leave.
  • Don't act nervous around him, this is a telltale sign you're crushing, and it may freak him out. Just act like he is your friend, nothing more or less.
  • If you should happen to get his number, don't call him every day for no reason. Just call him every once in a while if you want to hang out. If you are nervous, call and ask him what the homework is, and sidetrack the conversation to something else.
  • If you've already asked him out and been rejected, smile at him every time you see him. This will let him know that there's no hard feelings.
  • If the popular kids find out you like him, they may try to set you two up together. If this happens, he may feel awkward around you.You also might find out that he likes you and he may ask you out!
  • Make sure the popular or gossip kids don't find out.
  • Wear clothes that flatter you, then you won't have to worry about what you look like. Don't dress improperly: you want him to like you for who you are, not for your body. If you are a jeans and tee shirt kinda of girl, wear nicer tees, and maybe new jeans. If you can't get new jeans or t-shirts because your mom/dad won't buy them, then find some sparkly beads and sew then onto the pockets of your jeans! Or, for t-shirts, make a beading line on the front opening.
  • Don't constantly text him after you tell him you like him. Let it settle in for a couple days.
  • Let him text you first. If he doesn't text you for about 2 days, go ahead and text him. Don't text him first all the time though. Don't reply as soon as he sends you the message too. Text him back in about 1 or 2 minutes later.
  • Just be yourself, let him know who the girl is that likes him, don't be a fake! Act like he doesn't even know.
  • Act as if your talking to your best friend or a close relative.
  • Pointing your feet towards him indicates that you are interested in him. You can ask him questions about himself and try to find some common ground.
  • Don't be too straightforward with him.
  • If he knows and he is one of those boys that's like "Ew! I hate her!" Then they are obviously not the kind of guy that deserves to see the real you. Don't waste your time on those guys. Go for the nice and funny ones.
  • Try not to tense up every time you see him. Even if he knows your crushing on him, it might make him think that you're afraid of him or something.
  • Don't be rude or a jerk to him when he is talking to his friends but you also need to talk to your friends as well. Make sure you don't seem like a creepy person or you're stalking him because no boy likes that.

Warnings

  • Don't freak out every time he talks to you.
  • Also if you do start flirting with the guy you like, keep track of who you tell because some people like what you're trying to get and might try to take it away from you.
  • If his friends are jerks to you and like to tease you for liking him, try to act chill. Try to talk to the guy you like when his friends aren't around. The best thing is to just throw a quick "Hey or Hi" at him whenever he passes you by in the hallway.
  • If he's older than you (several year difference) and he hugs you and touches you, then don't run off and be shy, just walk it off and act normal so he won't think you're obsessed. He may just be being friendly.
  • Don't ask him too much about past relationships. He might think you're looking for really specific things in a guy, and it sounds like a background check.
  • Don't assume he's going to like you back, work your way toward that knowledge, because if you say "Hi, I know you like me." then he is going to think she has a crush or he is going to be confused.
  • Don't freak him out by talking about your ex-boyfriend(s). If he is talking about his ex and sounds upset, he is not over her.
  • Don't wear too much makeup or perfume, ever. He will think you are flirting and scare him away.
