Smile slowly while maintaining eye contact. Play with your hair a little and touch their arm when you talk or laugh. Research suggests that acting and flirting like you already know the person is interested in you is more likely to make them actually have feelings for you. Have confidence and go for it! You don't have to dress extremely fancy, but make sure your hair looks neat and that your face is fresh and clean. In relaxed situations, wear a cute and comfy tee and some leggings or jeans, and a little makeup if you want. If you're going to an event the person will be at, step it up a little more. This will create some competition, which might make the person realize they don't want you spending time with other people. You can also spend a little less time with them to make them miss you. You'll notice them start to get a bit jealous, which means they're starting to think of you as someone they could be interested in! Go to a movie or concert, get lunch, or swim at the pool or beach. This is especially important if you've only spent time together in a large group. Showing them that you want to hang out with just the 2 of you will tell them you want to get closer. When you ask them, make it obvious that it's not a date. Say, for example, "You're the only person I know who will sit through this new horror movie with me. Don't make me go alone!" Let your legs brush when you're sitting next to each other. Casually lean against them while you're watching a movie. Hug them when you say hello and goodbye, and don't be afraid to linger a little or even kiss them on the cheek. Make an excuse to get closer to see how they react. Say, for example, "It's so cold out!" Wait to see if they take the opportunity to lend you their jacket or even wrap their arms around you. Move a little closer to them. If it feels natural, lean against their side, or touch their arm or hand. Try touching their face or hair, then smile a little and look at their lips. Lean in and close your eyes, staying calm and relaxed. Do what feels natural to you, and don't overthink it! Go somewhere private and quiet where you can focus on each other. Try setting up a movie night on your couch, or going for a walk in the park.
