What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Start a relationship from there. Hang out every now and then with him/her and a few other friends. Get to the point that you can openly talk to them about anything. Find someone who likes you. Do they like you for you and make sure you like them the way they are. Find common interests. Maybe you two love to play soccer. Or maybe you two are both choir nerds. You don't have to be a cheerleader-quarterback couple. Find something that you both can share an interest in! Every now and then it is good to keep updated with your crush/boyfriend/girlfriend. Be clear with your communication, an "I appreciate you" or compliment is reassuring. Hug, hold hands, go on cute dates, and maybe even a little peck on the cheek or lips on special occasions, but keep it comfortable and appropriate. If you're still trying to pursue them and you feel like holding hands or kissing, the best way may be to try to sit next to them and touch their leg or arm. You shouldn't go any further than a peck on the lips unless you're okay with it. Talk to them about what you want and are comfortable with. Go on a date at the mall, movies, etc. You don't have to have intense one-on-one dates. You can go with other friends and keep it casual.
Be friends with your boyfriend or girlfriend first. Let your boyfriend or girlfriend know that you care about them. Show affection. See each other places besides school.
