Write an article based on this "Give him a compliment on something that you like about him. Ask him questions about his hobbies and interests. Let your personality shine in your conversations. Make an excuse to touch his arm or hand. Send him a text or like his posts on Instagram and Twitter. Make time to be alone together."
Being nice is a great way to make a boy feel more comfortable around you. Keep your compliments genuine and specific, and say them with a smile so he knows that you aren't teasing him. Sometimes, it's better to give compliments when you're hanging out alone, to keep other people from making fun. For example, if you're both into sports, you can say something like "I like your Lebron James jersey, did you watch the game last night?" If you're working on a school project together, let him know that you admire his intelligence by saying something like "That's a great idea, I would've never thought of that!" Focus on asking questions that require an explanation, not just a "yes" or a "no." If you know you have a common interest, like music or sports, ask him questions to lead him into a conversation. Let him do the talking while you listen and throw in some comments here and there. This is the best way to get to know a guy to see if you could actually like him beyond just a crush. Letting him talk will show him that you're interested in getting to know him better and that you're a good listener. Think about how you act around your girlfriends and how easily you can talk to them. Try to act the same way around the boy that you like by talking about things you both are interested in, like music, sports, or movies. Share your opinions and thoughts freely so he can get to know the real you. If a guy seems less interested after you start talking to him, don't worry about it. That just means that he's not a good fit for you. Body language and touching are a great way to communicate to a guy that you like him without outwardly saying something. Sit close to him so that your knees are touching, and reach out to touch his arm or leg when he says something funny. This can signal to a guy that you're interested in him as more than just a friend. Avoid doing anything too overt, like grabbing his hand out of nowhere. This can scare him or make him think that you have the wrong impression about your relationship. Smaller gestures are better for figuring out how he feels. It might seem simple, but guys are surprised when girls are confident enough to show interest in a public way, like on social media. Even a quick text to let him know that you saw something that made you think of him can ensure that you're on his mind, too! Sending a text can even start a whole conversation that can bring you closer together and give you something to talk about in person. Keep your texts light and flirty until you're able to hang out with him and see how he's feeling. Be careful not to bombard him with notifications by sending multiple text messages in a row or liking more than 2 posts at a time. When responding to texts, send 1-2 messages as your response and then wait for him to answer. Boys can sometimes act different when they're alone with you. Ask him to partner with you for a project or even just talk to him between classes. This will give you time to see how he feels about you when no one is around, and gives him the opportunity to ask you out. Most guys won't ask out a girl in front their friends because they'll be embarrassed if you say no in front of everyone. Alone time gives him a chance to talk to you without all of the pressure.
