INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you share some interests, you have even more of a reason to go out on a date. Once you get to know the guy and know that you have a few things in common, you can use them as a reason to take your friendship to the next level. Music is a great common interest. If you have the same favorite band, you can talk about the band and maybe mention that they'll be playing in town soon, and see if he asks you to go with him. Play up your interests so he has more of a reason to ask you out. See if you have the same favorite sports team. If you're really into the same baseball team, talk about the team and casually ask if he's been to a game recently. Use food as a talking point. If you both happen to mention that you love Greek food, you can ask if he's been to the new Greek place in town. Your friends can also help you get him to ask you out without coming on too strong. If your friend makes a comment at the right time, it could influence him to ask you to go on a date. Here's how your friends can help you hook your crush: One of your friends can subtly tease him and ask when he's going to get up the courage to ask you out. Just make sure it doesn't seem like you told your friend to do this. If you're always around the guy, have a friend say, "Aw, there goes my favorite couple again." This will be awkward, but it'll let him know that people see you two together. Have a friend casually bring you up in conversation, to see how he reacts. If he reacts positively, the friend can say that you two should get to know each other better. If you find a way to casually talk about your plans, whether it's a plan to go to a fun concert or party or just to grab coffee in between classes, this will be an easy way for him to join in. If you mention something that sounds appealing to him, it will lead to a low-pressure hangout session that could turn into a date. If you're going to a fun party that weekend, mention it. He may want to join in, especially if you have mutual friends who are going. If you happen to run into him, you can tell him you're going for a walk or grabbing a snack, he may want to join in. If you're walking back from class or an activity together, find a subtle way to say that you're hungry or in need of a caffeine fix, and he may ask you to grab a quick bite or to get a coffee. Mention if you're doing something fun in a few weeks. If you have big plans to check out a new bar, movie, or concert, he may want to join you when the time comes. Letting the guy know what your schedule looks like is different from talking about your plans. If you tell him what your schedule looks like, then he'll be more likely to ask you out if your schedules align or if he knows you have some free time. Try not to sound too busy, or he'll think that you don't have time for a date. On the other hand, don't sound so free that you look desperate. If you have some classes together, let him know when you have breaks in your schedule. If he knows you have a few hours to kill in between classes, he may ask you to get lunch. If you're passing by your favorite bar, you can casually say, "I love that place. I always go there for happy hour on Wednesdays." This is a subtle way of telling him that he should come along. If you have a free weekend ahead, let him know. Say, "My last three weekends have been so busy -- I'm really looking forward to doing something fun and low key this weekend." If you have a favorite coffee shop, tell him that's where you go to get work done a few evenings a week. Lure him in by saying it has the best coffee in town or recommend one of its specialties.

SUMMARY: Use your common interests to your advantage. Have your friends drop some hints. Talk about your plans. Let him know your schedule.
