react to things , and definitely dont act like a jerk if someone else that you dont like asks you out on a date . let them see you talking to and hanging out with other members of the gender you prefer to date . they need to see that you have other options and that you know you have other options . this will make you more desirable . of course , the best way to get their attention is to talk to them they might not even know you exist if youre too shy , so get out there and have a conversation with them . ask them about what theyre doing this weekend , or how their day went . ask them about things youre doing in school or their opinion on the latest football match . anything that gets the two of you talking is great . no one is going to fall head over heels for someone they dont know and that they know doesnt know them get to know your crush , beyond the absolute basics birthday , favorite color , etc and learn what really makes them tick . of course , the best way to do that is to communicate with them . find things you have in common . this will give you something to talk about but it will also give you something to bond over . youll be friends before you know it and a friendship is much easier to build on . you can compare interests , learn their interests just by paying attention , or you can explore the things they like . who knows , maybe youll find that you really like their taste the qualities of a good friend are also the qualities of a good boyfriend or girlfriend , so start by being a good friend so that your crush can see what they have to look forward to . they say that the person you date should be your best friend , so its probably a good idea to set the bar high , right you can be supportive when theyre feeling down , help them whenever you can , be fun and help them relax , make them laugh especially when theyre having a bad day , and generally be a good friend . there needs to be trust , in order for real romantic feelings to develop and stick around . never reveal a secret they tell you , dont generally go around telling people their business , and be someone that they can come to with their problems without having to worry about being laughed at or judged . give them the space to go out and do the things that they want to do . one fear that a lot of people have about dating is that the demand on their time and affection will mean that they wont be able to hang out with their friends or on their own as much , and that they wont get the time to do the things that they want to do . give your crush some space and alone time and theyll see that you value their happiness above your own . well , they need to know that you like them , dont they flirt with them and show them that you are definitely interested . this will tell them that they can return your feelings without having to worry as much about rejection . but dont flirt too much . maybe tell them to give them a reason to think about you , but not to early or they will just back away . if things dont work out , dont get discouraged . this doesnt mean you cant be friends . later on , that person may feel they , too , like you and finally hit things off . now , if things are going downhill once your relationship starts , talk to your crush about it . if you think you need a break , tell them . if they find out that you are being a little shaky , but you arent being honest about it , the relationship will come to a stop . breakups are the worst , so dont let that happen to you

how to keep calm when around someone special
its the most simple reflex in the human body . when you take a deep breath , your body automatically relaxes . being relaxed is a good way to show your crush that youre a calm and relaxed person . everyone likes to hang around with someone whos cool as a cucumber . in through your nose , out through your mouth . unless the occasion is somber , put a smile on your face , like youre enjoying whats going on around you and are engaged in the conversation . if youre alone , a content look will suffice . this also makes you look relaxed . if your crush says something humorous , laugh . dont laugh at every word that comes out of hisher mouth , just when heshe cracks a joke or double entendre . this is a given . no one wants to be around someone who smells . take a bath or shower everyday , and wear deodorant . if youre a girl , wearing a little makeup is good , but not a necessity . in order to have a friend , be a friend . this almost always is the case . you want to befriend your crush , but at the same time try to avoid the friend - trap . this is where you get so close in a friendship , risking it for a relationship wouldnt be advisable . be close and hang out , but not too often , unless you know heshe likes you too . not to your friends , not on your facebook or myspace . to the girlguy you like . it may be awkward . but thats part of the magic

smile often , especially if you have a bright smile or youve been told you have a great smile . when your crush says something funny , laugh , of course . just dont make it forced . introducing humor of your owninto a conversation is a great way to keep it positive and memorable , and helps keep those smiles flowing naturally . before you even speak to your crush , you can give off positive vibes by having good posture . also remember to maintain eye contact during the conversation , stay relaxed , and use hand gestures confidently . if youre too quiet , your crush might not have a reason to be attracted to you or worse , might not even notice you . this can be difficult if you are an introvert , or if you are naturally a shy person . with that , keep in mind that overcoming shyness doesnt necessarily mean talking a lot . it means speaking well and thoughtfully , and initiating conversation . its more about how you speak than how much you speak . there are a variety of good topics and ways to engage your crush in conversation . find topics to agree on or laugh about . this is a good principle of conversing with anyone find at least one area of common ground or interest in your conversation . you might even try not to end a conversation until youve found at least one source of agreement . stay current . mention recent movies , books , tv shows , articles , or other entertainment topics she might be familiar with . the more mainstream , the more likely she is to know your reference . this is particularly helpful when you have a lull in conversation . stay positive . think of things that pretty much everyone likes hobbies , pets , vacations , weekends , dessert , etc . not every one of these topics will apply , but one or two probably will , and the more general you are , the more likely you are to hit on commonality . then take the conversation more specific from there . avoid negative or sensitive topics . save your discussions of politics , religion , class , or race for another time . obviously , you dont want to mention a topic that could lead to disagreement or even an argument . so , its wise to avoid these subjects . if one comes up and you can see it heading in a bad direction , try diverting the topic with a laugh and something disarming like , yikes . i usually steer clear of that subject at a party . that was a close one . of course , before you land your crush you need to get to know her , and striking up a genuine friendship is an excellent way . a friendship will give you insight into her interests , making it easier to find and share common interests and activities . friendships also build trust , which is helpful when you get to the point of asking your crush out on a date . after all , no one wants to date someone shes suspicious or distrustful of . consider becoming facebook friends if your crush is digitally inclined , and occasionally liking a post or two . this keeps you on their radar , and it gives you a glimpse into your crushs interests as well . dont ditch your current friends . you dont want to be too socially available or not available enough . that means you still want to maintain your current friendships as theyve always been . maintaining friendships will keep you grounded regardless of what ultimately happens with your crush . on the flipside , you dont want to overdo it by being too socially aggressive with your crush . avoid stalking your crush on social media or obsessing over himher . think of the association with your crush as an early - stage friendship . one of the best ways to show interest is to ask specific questions about herself . you could ask about where shes from , family , work , hobbies , travels , or favorite things to do . keep questions specific and lively , but not too personal or private . at some point , youre going to have to begin casual flirting . if your crush does it first , great reciprocate . if not , youll have to initiate . physically , a light arm or shoulder touch during conversation often works . verbally , you can take your compliments up a level . for example , instead of saying she looks good , say shes beautiful . and remember to smile and stay confident . focus on yourself and your own success . scoring a big win at work or joining a gym or sports team can give you the sort of confidence boost that crushes find very attractive . theyll be able to sense the success , but you can also talk about it . light bragging is okay , as long as it doesnt sound arrogant , self - possessed , or obnoxious . landing love wont happen overnight . its a process that includes baby steps and small victories along the way returned smiles , returned texts , great conversations , and more . the flipside of this is you dont want to rush . you could turn your love interest off by moving too fast , or give her the wrong impression about your intentions . so be patient , and try to have fun with it . remember the basics hair , clothes , hygiene , and makeup , if you like . wear deodorant and light cologne or perfume . you dont want to overdo it or look like youre trying too hard , but you do want to look attractive . so , clean up well , find something nice to wear , and play to your strengths—be they hair , eyes , height , etc . remember , this is what youve been building toward a date with your crush . stay calm and make the date casual . chances are , if youve struck up a friendship—or even just a good conversation or two—youll have some idea already of what she likes to do and hence , what might be a good first date . ask directly and specifically . you could say , want to grab a drink one night after work or free to do coffee one day next week i can do tuesday or thursday . once she says yes , agree on a time and remember to get her phone number or email address , if you dont have it already , in case anything comes up the day of the date . you can offer yours as well . texting is a safe way of following up . if youve already had a phone call , then call and speak , instead , or leave a voicemail . youll usually want to follow up the next day , but you could follow up the same day with something along the lines of , did you make it home ok or i had a fun time tonight . talk again soon . goodnight by repeating the previous two steps , dating and following up on dates , you begin to establish a relationship . this is what getting your crush is all about . ask if she prefers texting or calling , and if shes open to calling , call . its a sign of a closer relationship . in the early days of a relationship , try to remain on her radar by speaking about every other day and moving toward daily . in person , your goal should be to do something together about once per week . having a sit - down or a big official talk about relationship status , or facebook relationship status , is scary and can backfire . worry about relationship status details if and when they come up . instead , remind your crush of your interest as if youre an official couple . i had a great time or youre so much fun to hang out with are meaningful statements that show interest , not obsession . give compliments . be real , and make your compliments about the things that you genuinely like about the person . also , since we are talking about a crush , the compliments can be suggestively romantic but not overtly romantic or sexual . for example , you might not want to compliment their physical characteristics directly , but you could say something like , you look great in that dress . contact your crush for no big reason . you might text or call for no reason other than just thinking about the other person . you can check in just to say hi , or to say that you saw something cool that reminded you of the other person . keep it light and thoughtful , and your crush is prone to be flattered . give thoughtful gifts . everyone loves gifts . just beware of coming on too strong with a big expensive gift . also beware of gifts that are too intimate or suggestive . instead , give thoughtful gifts based on her interests or your shared history . examples could be flowers , a small work of art , or a favorite food your partner mentioned . you might also think of a gift based on interest areas , such as sports , cooking , gardening , books , films , or music .

if your crush doesnt know you exist , try introducing yourself . if youre in a class together , you can use that as an excuse to start talking to your crush . for instance , say you have history together . you could say , hi , im janie . were in history together . what did you think of that boring lesson mrs . johnson gave the other day or hi , im john . i sit across from you in math . i was wondering if i could borrow your notes for the last class . see if you can get the person to spend time with you . if youre able to hang out more , you may be able to make friends with the person . start with hanging out at school first . maybe you can eat lunch together or spend some time together in the library . one way to get to know a person is to let them talk about themselves . question them about their lives , such as asking them about their favorite color , their family , or their favorite books and movies . its important to listen to the answers , too . that is , pay attention to whats being said . one way you can show youre listening is by making comments on what the person is saying or asking related questions . one way to build a friendship is to laugh and have fun together . share a book of your favorite jokes with the person or giggle together over a silly picture . having fun together can bring you closer . lend the person your book when she asks . bring an extra cookie to school for him when you make some for yourself . offer to take down notes if shes going to be gone for the day . little kindnesses like these go a long way towards building friendship . compliments let the other person know that youve noticed his or her best qualities . plus , a compliment will make the person feel good , and he or she will associate those good feelings with you . dont just limit yourself to compliments about the persons appearance . for instance , maybe youve noticed how smart she is or that hes a sharp dresser . just make sure your compliment is sincere and tailored to the person youre addressing . for instance , you could say , you always seem to have the right answer in math class . you are so smart you can use an upcoming event as an excuse . maybe someones having a party or your school is throwing a big dance . consider asking your crush if you can go together . you could say , hey , did you see that dance the schools having it may be dumb , but i kind of want to go . do you want to go with me if youre too embarrassed to ask the person outright , try implying that you want to hang out . for instance , you could say that you really want to go see a new movie , which kind of encourages the other person to say he or she would like to see it , too . then you can suggest you see it together . tell the person that you like him or her . while it can be difficult to do , its the best way to gauge the persons feelings . in fact , its the easiest way to move the relationship forward . for instance , you could say , weve been hanging out for awhile , and i really enjoy being with you . i think im starting to like you as more than a friend . what are your thoughts on that be ready for rejection . that is , your friend may say that she doesnt see you that way . she has a right to her feelings . oftentimes , you can continue on with your friendship . other times , it may become too awkward . still , its important to ask if you want the person to be your boyfriend or girlfriend . everyone gets a little embarrassed when it comes to love and crushes . its okay to feel a bit shy when youre asking someone to hang out with you or be your boyfriend or girlfriend . if youre already together as a couple , kissing may seem like the next natural step . however , everyone moves at different speeds . while you may be ready for it , your boyfriend or girlfriend may not be ready . talk to him or her about how she feels about kissing . as an example , you could say , i like it when we hold hands . how do you feel about kissing me simply asking is the quickest way to move forward , plus it means you have consent . consent is just a fancy way of saying the person gives you permission to kiss him or her . basically , youre just asking the person if you can kiss him or her , or if youre trying to be kissed , youre giving the person permission to kiss you . for instance , you can say , can we kiss or would you like to kiss me you could also say , id like for you to kiss me , if youd like to . consent is especially important as you start wanting to get closer to another person . every person has a right to say what happens to his or her own body . in other words , if you just up and kiss someone , you havent given him a chance to say how much he wants to kiss you , and that yes is essential . maybe he isnt quite ready for kissing , so for now , he may say no . once you both have agreed to kissing , have fun . just be sure to talk again if you want to move on to something heavier .

act the same way you do when your around your friends , dont act differently around them than the way you act around your crush . if you do , he or she will think youre being a fake . realize that you cannot make a person like you . you can be persuasive and encourage a person by being charming , friendly and happy in their presence but you cannot force their interest to focus solely on you . as such , its important to be realistic and accept that he or she may want to be just friends or wont even want that . however , that doesnt mean that you dont try . it means that you learn to read the signs and respect the decision they make , as hard as it may be if it doesnt go in your favor . dress nicely and neatly . show your flair by wearing things that represent your style . stay comfortable . there is no point looking good if youre suffering . jeans that are so skinny you can barely walk will elicit giggles in sports class , not awe - inspiring looks . do you both like the same things perhaps you play the same sport or do the same activity during lunch hour or after school make the most of things you both connect on . has your crush been having some troubles in a subject youre just ace at hop in and offer some advice , and some tutoring help . what a great way to get closer show him or her your generous side by offering things when in need , such as a forgotten pencil or lunch , or a listen to your newly downloaded hit song . talk about stuff that he or she wants to talk about . talk about stuff that you would like to talk about . ask your crush some fun questions , such as when is your birthday , what is your favorite color . little by little youll get to know her or him . there is no need to be rude or to show bad manners . act the same but with a little bit of flirting and feeling this time . when he or she makes a joke , laugh genuinely . when you see her or him in the hallway , make eye contact and perhaps offer a wink . when you both are staring at each other , dont worry if either of you blushes a little––that just shows you that youre both attracted to each other . dont offer too many compliments , just enough to make it clear that you dont mind noticing the good things about her or him . whenever you are sitting by him or her , angle your toes where he or she is sitting , then bump against your crush gently . gently brush away a hair from his or her shoulder or even face . gently hold her or his arm briefly . be a little touchy - feely without overdoing it . invite her or him to your house for a party or ask him or her to dance with you at a class party . keep your friends around and your crushs friends around at first , to keep it light . when you have the impression that he or she is interested in you , ask him or her for a date . that is , if he or she hasnt already asked you .

before you sit down to have a conversation with your friend about your relationship and where its going , understand the risks involved in asking to change your friendship into a romantic relationship . your friend could feel the same , but they might not . you need to prepare for your friend not to feel the way you do . when assessing the risks you should also decide how you will react to your friends potential response . if they do not return your feelings , are you willing to stay friends would you rather end the friendship make sure youre prepared for whatever reaction you get . once you feel fully prepared for whatever response you might get , ask your friend if you can have a serious conversation . you can say something like id really like to talk to you about something important regarding our friendship . is there a time and a day thats good for you you can also give them a heads up on whats coming by saying something like id like to discuss my feelings about you and our relationship . when would you be willing to have this conversation this is a sensitive conversation youll be having , so youll want to choose somewhere that you and your friend will have some privacy . if you are already friends , you might be comfortable having this conversation in one of your homes . dont pick a romantic spot in the hopes that it will sway your friends response . if the conversation doesnt go the way you want it to , being in a romantic restaurant can make things awkward . you could also choose a quiet corner of a coffee shop or a nice spot in a public park . depending on how the conversation goes , it might be best to have this conversation somewhere that you can both easily leave . when talking to your friend about your feelings , be honest and up front about how you feel and what you want for your relationship . you can say something like i know weve been friends for a long time , but ive been feeling like maybe theres something more between us . i am starting to care about you as more than a friend and i was wondering if youve felt that way , too . emphasize that you dont want to jeopardize your friendship but that your feelings are such that you felt the need to talk to them . when youre admitting feelings to someone else – especially someone that youve only had a platonic relationship with – its easy to feel very vulnerable and as if you deserve a certain response . keep in mind that your friend might not respond the way you want them to , and that you have to respect them enough to accept their response , whatever it is . if their response is that they dont return your feelings you can say something like i hear what youre saying and i respect your response . lets talk about where we want our relationship to go from here . this way your friend knows that youre not going to continue to pursue them romantically but that you want to maintain your friendship . if your friend returns your feelings and is also willing to pursue a romantic relationship you can say something like im really glad you feel the same where do we go from here this sets up an opportunity for you both to discuss how quickly - or slowly - you want to take your new relationship . if your friend asks for time to think about it , say something like i understand that this is a lot to think about and i am totally willing to give you some space to consider everything . then ask if you can make a plan to meet in a week or longer , or shorter - you can read how your friend is feeling better than anyone to discuss things again .
take the lead . demonstrate your feelings . flirt . do something new together .

if you have feelings for a friend , you can start changing the relationship by taking the lead in changing your behavior . so dont just wait around , expecting them to make the first move . initiate a conversation or ask your friend on a date . if you want to transform your friendship into something more , youll have to take the lead on changing that relationship . in a healthy friendship , people demonstrate that they care about one another in a lot of different ways , but if youre trying to move past friendship , youll have to demonstrate the fact that youre feeling new feelings . you can demonstrate your feelings by writing a note or a card , or buying your friend an unexpected gift with a note that says this reminded me of you . you can also just ask your friend what you can do to make them feel loved or appreciated . this indicates that youre looking for ways to take the relationship to the next level without having to have a direct conversation . one of the easiest ways to change your behavior and demonstrate to your friend that youd like something more is to flirt . compliment their clothes , or their hair , or the way they do something – sing , speak , play an instrument . tell them they look handsome or pretty . they should get the message pretty quickly that youre interested in being more than friends . you can say something like i really love the way that shirt looks on you - it brings out the color of your beautiful eyes . you can also say something like i could listen to you play guitar all day long . it melts my heart . if you want to change your behavior and change your relationship , you cant rely on the same things youve always done together . suggest a new restaurant – maybe something with candlelight – or pick a new spot for drinks . you can invite them to drinks by saying theres a new bar downtown - it seems like a sort of romantic place . i know its not what we usually do , but i thought we could change things up a bit . you can also invite them to do something you dont normally do , like going for a walk , by saying i was wondering you wanted to go for a walk with me . itll give us a chance to just talk and be alone .
initiate physical contact cautiously . take physical intimacy slow . dont overdo it . be patient .
how to turn a friend into a lover 3
most friends touch in some way , but if youre interested in more , you can start by slowly increasing – or changing – the type of physical contact you have . youre probably the best judge of what type of contact your friend will be comfortable with , and youll also know what level of physical contact already exists between you . try placing your head on their shoulder while you sit next to them . if they dont move away , or if they put an arm around you , this is probably a pretty good sign that theyre interested in more than friendship , too . if your friend tenses up or otherwise signals that they are not comfortable with increased contact , draw back immediately . aside from possibly ruining your friendship , unwanted physical contact is inappropriate . if things seem to be progressing well , there will probably come a point when you want to turn your friendship into a more physically intimate relationship . you should take transitioning from a friendship to a physically intimate relationship slowly . talk often about the level of intimacy you are both comfortable with and do so before you transition to a different level of intimacy . for example , you can say something like ive been feeling like id like to kiss you - is that okay respect their response . its also perfectly acceptable for you to be the one to slow things down , even if you initiated the change in relationship . you should demonstrate your feelings , but you also dont want to smother your friend with your attempts to take your relationship to the next level . strike a balance between being available and keeping your distance . being available and willing to do anything and everything your friend asks might make your friend like you , but it wont necessarily increase their desire for you . surprising your friend occasionally with thoughtful gestures but also occasionally limiting the amount of time you spend with them sets up the perfect balance of satisfaction and tension . in other words , its okay to play a little hard to get . a healthy romantic relationship takes time to develop , even if it doesnt start platonically . when youre trying to turn friendship into romance , it can really take time for that transformation to be complete . be patient .

how to find out if your crush likes someone else
the next time the person your crush likes walks into the room , watch his eyes without being too obvious . does he look at her like hes in a trance , with his pupils getting big , like hes getting excited for a big date does he look at her , look away , and try to slyly catch another glimpse of her again if this is the case , then chances are that he may really like the other girl . when youre in a group setting , try to see how many times he looks at her compared to how many times he looks at other girls without staring at him too much . watch his eyes when hes talking to his potential crush . does he stare into her eyes and look down and look back at her , or do his eyes keep darting around the room , like hes looking for something better to do if hes giving her all of his focus , then its more likely he likes her . think about it . if the person you think your crush may like is around , whether its at a party or at the mall , is he much more likely to hang out , too does he tend to stay in if the person you think he likes is busy or out of town if so , then it may be because your crush only want to be around if the person he likes is there , too . you can even test this out by asking your crush if hes going to so - and - sos party . if he seems hesitant but then you casually mention that his potential crush will be there and he lights up , then this may mean that he likes her . if youre in a group situation involving both your crush and the person he may like and they always just kind of end up next to each other , then your crush may really like that person . see if he sidles up to her , walks by her side , or just always finds a way to strategically make it over to where she is . if this is the case , then hes probably gravitating toward her because he likes her . of course , dont forget the possibility that these two may just be really good friends . to know the difference , look at their body language when theyre together . do they seem excited and nervous and concerned about how they look if so , then they may like each other . but if theyre totally relaxed and seem not too self - conscious , then they may just be friends . make sure that its your crush seeking out the person you think he likes and not the other way around . if your crush likes his potential crush , then youll see him trying to improve his appearance in her presence . hell be puffing up his chest , running his hands through his hair , adjusting his collar , smoothing out his shirts , and taking extra care with the way he looks . if he even looks in a mirror or a window to gauge his appearance before talking to his potential crush , then its likely that he likes her . he may also try to straighten his coat or inspect his clothes for stains . all of this means that hes a bit nervous and wants to make the best possible impression . watch your crush when he talks to his potential crush to see if hes always looking for ways to get closer to her , whether its to take a step toward her , sit so close across from her that their knees are touching , or to pull a thread off of her shoulder . if he even gently shoves her or pushes her , then this may be his way of flirting because he really likes her . watch his body language . does he turn his chest and shoulders in her direction , or away from her if he turns his body toward her , then he may have a crush . see if hes always trying to make physical contact , whether its to touch her earring or bracelet or to tap her shoulder . if your crush really likes his potential crush , then hell be looking for opportunities to look good in front of her . if you find him trying to show off whenever shes around , then this may mean that he really does have romantic feelings for her . this could mean telling loud , bombastic stories , pulling stunts like cannon - balling into a swimming pool , wearing his best clothes , or showing off his dance moves , juggling skills , ability to speak perfect french , or just going out of his way to stand out for her . when his potential crush leaves , see if he takes his personality down a notch . if he suddenly tries less hard when shes gone , its a sign that he really does like her . pay attention to how much he cares for his appearance when shes there and when shes not . if it always looks like he put twice as much time into his hair when she comes around , then thats telling you something . if your crush mentions the person you think he might like about ten times in the course of a five - minute conversation , then its likely that he has a crush on her . if he keeps mentioning things she said , finding tenuous ways to connect her to almost every topic , or even keeps talking about a conversation he had with her , then yeah , theres a good chance hes crushing on her . think about it youre probably looking for every excuse to talk about your crush too , arent you its likely he would do the same . see if he keeps mentioning what his potential crush thinks about certain topics . if he keeps saying , sarah thinks that… or sarah says… every other sentence , then he may value her opinion so much because he has a big crush on her . of course , its also possible that your crush wont mention his potential crush or bring her up very much at all . he may be so smitten that he can barely bring himself to say her name . however , you should look at his face or see what he says if someone else does bring up his potential crush if he starts stammering a lot , looks nervous , turns beet red , or avoids the topic , then he may have a crush on her too . you can always test this out by mentioning his potential crushs name in passing and seeing how he reacts . just make sure youre not being too obvious about it , though . observe your crush when his potential crush comes up . if he suddenly gets all flustered , starts tripping over his words , or even forgets what he was going to say as soon as his potential crush starts talking to him , then this may be a sign that he really likes her . see if he doesnt sound like himself , tries extra hard to be impressive , or just generally seems overwhelmed by her presence if he does , then this is a sign that he may in fact have a crush . of course , he may be able to talk to his crush without freaking out . but if he seems too cool or completely comfortable , then they may just be friends after all . if your crush laughs at everything his potential crush says , even if it really isnt all that funny , then this may be because he just likes her so much that hes inclined to think everything she says is funny . laughter is also a way to release some nervous energy , so if hes always laughing in her presence , it may also be because he likes her so much that it makes him nervous . notice how much your crush laughs when he talks to other people . unless his potential crush is truly hilarious , if you notice that he isnt nearly as responsive with others , then it really may be because he has a crush . another thing you may find is that your potential crush is extra guarded around the person that he likes . he may seem more reserved , more quiet , or less likely to tell his usual corny jokes when hes around the person he likes . this may be because hes really concerned about making a great impression and that hes less likely to fully be himself . if he seems to think before he speaks a bit more around his potential crush and to be more careful when he does talk , then this may be a sign that he really likes her . he may even try to act more tough or more capable when hes around her . while he may complain to you about his fight with his brother or his poor test grades , he may try to seem more perfect around the person he likes . of course , if your crush really likes his potential crush and actually gets to know her pretty well , then he may even begin opening up to her even more than he would to anyone else . but when they first talk to each other , its more likely that hell be more guarded than he would be around people he doesnt like romantically . it can be hard to pinpoint exactly what chemistry means , but it basically means a palpable feeling of energy and sexual tension thats in the air when your crush is talking to the other person he likes . if they seem nervous , excited , giggly , or just not quite themselves when they talk to each other , then you may be seeing some chemistry in action . see if your crush stumbles , acts more silly , or just seems much more excited to talk to his potential crush than he is to talk to anyone else . sometimes it can be hard to pick up on the fact that the chemistry youre seeing is only coming from one side of the equation . make sure that its not just the person your crush may potentially likes who is showing the signals . check out your crushs facebook page , twitter account , or other social media sites to see how often he interacts with his potential crush . if you find that hes commenting on or liking her pictures a lot , posting links on her wall to impress her , or interacting mostly with her while ignoring all of his other friends , then theres a chance that he really does have a crush on her . of course , he may be more subtle and may not interact with the girl he likes very much online , but you do have a chance of finding evidence that he likes his potential crush on social media . see if he likes or comments on her photos right after she posts them . this can be a sign that hes spending a lot of time on her profile . another way to find out whether your crush likes someone else is to ask his friends what they think . though this can be pretty risky because its likely that your question will get right back to your crush , if you really want to know but dont want to ask him , then this can be one approach to take . his friends may know the truth and theres a small chance they can even tell you whats really going on , so if you feel like youre out of options , this can be something to try . just know that , as soon as you ask his friends who he likes , theyll think that you have a crush on him—and theyd be right . your friends may see something that you dont quite see because they have an outsiders perspective on the situation . they may be able to tell you that its obvious that your crush does like the other girl , or they may tell you that its clear that those two are only friends and that youre being paranoid . tell your friends to be honest with you and make it clear that they wont be hurting your feelings by revealing the truth . if your friends dont know that you like your crush , try to be casual about it when you ask them . though chances are that they do know already—just make sure that they dont spill the beans . if youre really feeling bold and even know or are friends with the person whom you think your crush likes , then you can consider asking her what the situation is . you can try to be sneaky about it or even be honest and ask her if theres something going on between her and your crush if there is , then you dont want to interfere with it . she may tell you the truth , or she may say nothings going on when it is try to read her expressions and body language to get the real picture . if you dont really know or trust this person , however , you may not want to ask her yourself . see if you can find someone who knows her better to do some digging for you . if you really want to get some answers , then talk to your crush yourself . you dont have to reveal that you like him and all you have to do is casually ask whether or not he has a crush on so and so . if he says no and sounds like he means it , then you can try to pursue him . if he says no but seems super defensive or weirded out , then theres a chance hes not telling the truth . if he reveals that he does have a crush on someone else , try not to look so upset and get ready to move on . if you find out that your crush really does like someone else , dont be so hard on yourself . it has nothing to do with you people cant help who they like . youll be able to find someone who appreciates how amazing you are before you know it .
ask them casually . ask friends . ask your crushs friends .

how to choose a bit for a horse 1
most horse showing competitions forbid the use of certain bits . even if you do not attend events , obeying one of these lists is not a bad idea . these bits are generally forbidden due to the pain they cause the horse . a simple snaffle bit is a mild , popular option , that only applies the amount of pressure you pull . always begin with a snaffle , and try the stronger bits only if the horse is difficult to control . you can purchase measuring tools for this purpose , or you can place a wooden dowel in his mouth where the bit should sit . find a dowel that sticks out about half an inch 1 . 25 cm on either side this dowel is the appropriate width for your bit . for most horses , start with a 4–5 inch 10–13cm bit and switch as necessary . usually , a smaller horse has a smaller mouth and will need a smaller bit , and the reverse for larger horses . their are exceptions , however , as some breeds have unusually large or small heads . if you have access to a previous bit , allow it to hang straight and measure the mouthpiece . do not include the rings in the measurement . the outside of the snaffle consists of a ring on either side of the mouth . common options include d - rings , o - rings , and loose rings which are free to rotate in place . the best way to choose these is to try out several , to feel the difference in control and see how your horse reacts . make your decision based on your and your horses personal preference . if you cant try out the bit before buying , go with the popular d - ring . this tends to be less harsh than other bits . snaffle bits come with a variety of mouthpieces as well . a basic , jointed mouthpiece is a good option for most riders , but there are other options . here are a few factors to keep in mind rubber or plastic - coated mouthpieces are more mild than a bare metal bar . twisted wire mouthpieces are the most severe , and should only be used by experienced trainers . thinner mouthpieces are generally more likely to cut the horses mouth or cause pain . confirm that the mouthpiece is comfortable with the following tests make sure the rings or metal connections at the corners of the mouth do not pinch the horses lip tissue . if youre not sure , put the side of your finger next to that ringbar juncture . spin the ring and see if it pinches your own finger which is harder to pinch than soft tissue . the link in the middle of a broken mouth snaffle can pinch as well . if you have this type of bit , test this on the side of your finger as well . check whether the center of the bit hits the rugae ridges of the horses palate , or the roof of the mouth . this is often whats happening if the horse is restless or tosses its head a lot . in this case , switch to a french link mouthpiece , which lays flatter on the tongue and allows a larger range of motion .
start on the internet . move it to real life . get to know them better and remember things about them . open up a bit at a time to this person . integrate your friend groups and get to know his or her friends . hang out in group settings at first . dont get lost in the group hang out one - on - one occasionally . keep it simple . dont back down , allow them to think about it . prepare yourself for either response .
how to get someone to like you back for shy people
if you are serious about wanting to get to know this person , social media can help you out a bit . its okay to check them out online - - but choose one social media platform to reach out to them on . add the person you like on facebook or snapchat or follow them on instagram once they have added you back or accepted your request , say hi commenting is important because they probably get friend or follow requests from many people , and youll be able to distinguish yourself from them this way . bring attention to yourself in a low - key way by commenting on a recent picture something like , i like this or this looks cool a compliment is usually good , but dont think too hard . if its snap chat , send them a picture say hi or ask them whats up people appreciate other people who are interested in their lives , so make sure you genuinely care about this persons life . if you see the person you like every day or at least once a week , try to nod at them in the hallways or say good morning at work , or wherever you see them . start with these and slowly motivate yourself to talk to them more and more . for example , if you are in a certain class together , ask them what the homework is . if its monday , ask them how their weekend was . make sure you say it loud enough for them to hear and start by saying their name . this person might not recognize your voice or might think youre talking to someone else , so say their name before you start your conversation . start by asking one question , then try asking two next time , then three , etc . let the conversation flow naturally , and if it stops , be the one to end it . you could say , okay , thanks ill see you around or it was nice talking to you or whatever you see fit for your situation . if youre still really scared to talk to them at this point , dont freak out take your time and slowly , at your own pace , become more comfortable talking to them . smiling helps , too . if you talk to them often online and have the occasional real life chat , chances are you will get to know them a lot better . if they tell you the date of their birthday , send them a little happy birthday message or even tell them in real life if there is a gift you want to give them but youre too shy to do it face to face , leave it on their desk or in their locker - - or wherever else theyll find it - - in a secret admirer way . also , if they have an interest , try to remember and show your support for it . for example , if they have a sport they like or a team they follow , check the teams game schedule and ask the person what they thought of their teams last game . knowing that someone else pays attention to their likes and dislikes really strengthens the bond between people naturally . if there is an artist they like , you can ask them what their favorite songs are this person will appreciate how much you care about them as a person . the goal for this phase is to become more comfortable around this person you so greatly admire . part of that requires you to stretch a bit and tell them a bit about yourself casually in conversation . you dont have to tell them your deepest , darkest secrets , but answer questions honestly . if they like a certain type of music that you arent familiar with , be honest and let them know you havent heard of that band or artist . if there is a movie you absolutely find hilarious , tell them little spontaneous conversations about likes and dislikes is a really good way to know this person better and let them know who you are yay , youre slowly becoming more comfortable with this person as you become more comfortable with this person , your friends will want to know them , too introduce them or hang out with mutual friends . this doesnt necessarily mean your squads have to become a mass group of bffs or little group of bffs , but at least get to know his or her friends as individuals . this doesnt mean that you will - - or should - - know every last person that has ever talked to your crush , rather find people they are friends with that you can also relate to click to read this really cool article on how to make friends when you are not social . if there isnt anyone they are friends with who you connect with , that is okay , too . avoid using people to talk to this person or only interact with people to impress the person you like remember , you are friends with the person you like on your own terms . dont befriend their squad just so you can get to them , rather befriend them because you actually want to be friends with them . people are individuals and all deserve legitimate friends , remember . cut out the middleman if you want to watch a movie that you know the person you like wants to watch , feel free to grab a friend or two and invite them to do the same . the bigger the group the more comfortable you may be , but try to make it still intimate . inviting mutual friends who might be interested in the group activity is also key . look at you , hanging out with your crush you now have several mutual friends and have hung out with the person of your interest more than twice outside a professional or school setting . now you are less shy around them and can be yourself . time to challenge yourself again hang out one - on - one once in a while . find some things that the two of you have in common and do those things together . talk to them even when the group isnt together or even when theiryour other friends arent around . this will let them know subconsciously that you value them as an individual . this can also make them think , do i like them do they like me or do i just like hanging out with them having some insider jokes is a definite plus . dont worry , this will not make anything too obvious this will just get you both thinking about each other separated from the group . once you get a feeling of where they are at and if they like you back , then proceed to the third and last phase of this plan . be careful to avoid ditching your old friends or making the person you like ditch theirs . let friends know ahead of time when you are busy and make sure you still spend time with your pals whenever you can . if they are romantically involved with someone else , dont hang out one - on - one at all outside a professional setting i . e . work , school , etc . especially if you are the one initiating it . this might come across very wrong and actually end up being detrimental to your friendship . remember , if someone is in a relationship , respect that . as soon as they are back on the market , you have full dibs and can hang out together without causing any trouble . how awesome is it that youre now friends with the person you used to look at from a distance now its time to step out of your comfort zone one more time and tell himher how you feel . you dont have to do this face to face . give them a secret admirer - styled letter with a hint at the end that will undoubtedly point to you . you could even be forward and sign it if youre not going to do it face to face or during skype , face time , or any other video chat , dont text them your confession or tell them via social media . this may come across either as a joke to them or make you seem impersonal . it doesnt have to be a long , eloquent letter , either . use your own words and say what you think they should know if you choose to tell them in real life , keep it casual you dont need to disclose your late night internet stalking or how you think of them every night before you sleep so you can dream about them . you should , however , tell them that you think theyre cool and ask if they would want to try a romantic relationship . use your own words , of course , so that they know youre being genuine . each friendshiprelationship is different and there is no one way to tell someone you like them , but if you want to stay friends , either way , casual is the way to go . although , if you are the type of person who is extravagant or know that this person will appreciate a big and obvious gesture , feel free not to be casual at all get creative and do you . no matter if youre simple or elaborate in your confession , be true to who you are and be creative if this person is a good person , they will appreciate the time and effort you put into letting them know , whether they feel the same way or not . if you are serious about wanting this person to like you back or at least think of you romantically , sooner or later you will need to let them know . of course , make sure you feel ready and are at a place where you can speak comfortably with this person . just let your potential future bae know you are interested in getting to know them romantically . this confession can be as simple or elaborate as you feel . dont over - think this or be afraid you did not come this far to give up now be honest but dont feel as if you have to spill it all . remember that they are your friend and let some of that stress roll off your back . dont put any pressure on them for an immediate response . leave it somewhat open - ended so that they also have time to get themselves together . your friend will be glad you didnt ambush them or make them feel like they had to say yes or no . if they say yes , the feelings are mutual . you overcame your shyness and told the object of your desire how you felt . you should be proud of you for getting through that now is your chance to prove to them that you are the perfect boygirlfriend for them , which will be easy since you were friends first . no , they would rather stay friends or dont feel the same way , have no fear . you can try again later or simply move on . someone else will come along , believe it or not , and you will find love again hey , at least you can cross that off your bucket list . you should still be very proud of yourself for breaking out of your shell . make sure you dont let this stop you from trying again . if they ask you out before you do or tell you they like you first , dont hold back let them know that you have liked them for a while , too this doesnt mean everything will be perfect and easy from now on , but the hardest part is over . enjoy your relationship and remember to stay friends with them even in your newfound love .

how to choose a bit for a horse 2
always train the horse with a mild snaffle bit before moving on to a more severe option . stronger bits can provide more control , which may be useful for horse shows . some excitable horses will resist stopping with a mild bit , but focus on ground work training first . some spirited or sensitive horses will object to a harsh bit , and continue misbehaving . think about your typical riding activities . youll typically want a mild bit for riding in the school , and perhaps a stronger bit for more strenuous activity . check the bit regulations of any horse competitions you plan to enter . beginning riders are more likely to harm the horse with a strong bit . you should have a fair amount of riding experience before you try to use one . even then , ask your trainer for advice on choosing a bit , and on adjusting your rein use to adapt to a new bit . there are many variations of bits , and you may need to try several before you find one that works . most english riders just move to a snaffle with a harsher mouthpiece or ring . western riders may try a different style of bit altogether , such as the curb bit . these use leverage to increase the amount of pressure from your pull . the pelham and the slotted kimberwick are two common options which use a curb chain to provide more control over the head . bitless riding is becoming more popular , although it is not yet legal in most competitions . even if you use a harsh bit some of the time , consider training without a bit occasionally . this will improve your own balance and strength , and teach you to direct the horse with cues from the seat . this may even solve some behavioral issues , as many horses calm down when the mouth is no longer agitated . bitless riding is allowed in most jumpers , polo , and endurance competitions . for other disciplines , you will need to compete with a bit — but you may still benefit from the training .

this could be a library , a beach , a park , or a diner . this will remove any extra pressure and nerves that she may have . compliment her on something that has caught your eye and never let her know your intentions . many of my friends who are jocks have tried this . for instance , a big win at a school competition might just be a good time to kiss your girlfriend with passion due to school spirit . this works best at the end of a fun date such as seeing a movie or going swimming . you look her deep into her eyes , hold both of her hands , tell her that you are about to kiss her , and just do it . lets say that you and your girlfriend are studying together and all of a sudden it gets cold . you move closer to her , allow her to lean into you , make sure that she enjoys you being in her personal space , tilt her chin , and give her a long kiss . in winter , you could buy mistletoe and hang it on a tree branch . you could then walk with your girlfriend , tell her to look up , whisper mistletoe , and kiss then hug her . be creative . you cannot go throughout life being fearful of rejection . girls love confidence , chivalry , and good hygiene . be sure that the girl at least knows you well enough to determine that you arent only interested in making out . nice guys finish first and even if they dont , they get let down easy . make sure that your lips are okay and that your breath is fresh . dental hygiene is extremely important , and dont let her see you chewing gum right before you make the big move . keep the kiss short , but not too short . generally , about 10 seconds is ideal .

meeting his eyes and smiling across a room wont work on a guy who feels uncomfortable with eye contact and doesnt usually notice subtle smiles . however , hell probably pay extra attention to your face , since he has a crush on you , and spend extra energy analyzing your expressions . this means that hell be more likely to pick up on subtle cues , but he may misinterpret them also . for example , a neurotypical guy might pick up that theres this really cute guy i like . might mean him , but an autistic guy is less likely to realize that you arent talking about someone else . try to avoid signals that could be misinterpreted . you dont have to walk up to him and flat - out announce i like you . instead , use the more obvious flirting tactics in your repertoire , and clearly communicate through your words and body language that youre interested . remember , not everyone likes to be touched . its fine to err on the side of forwardness . many autistic people are sincere and straightforward , and they enjoy it when people are clear about what they want . many autistic people love to talk about their special interests , and are happy to teach you or discuss back and forth . if you let him know that youre interested , hell stay interested . one of the positive traits of some autistic people is a heightened sense of social responsibility , or the desire to help others and fix problems . open up to him and allow him to help you navigate your problems . it will bring you closer together . expect him to get excited , and probably admit he likes you too . if he gets flustered , dont worry he just needs time to put into words what he wants to say . there is a slight chance that hell panic or overreact . if so , its probably because he doesnt know what to do not that he doesnt like you . give him time . autistic people often have trouble initiating conversations . instead of gauging his interest by how much he initiates , consider how much he reciprocates . if hes happy when you ask him out , that means hes definitely into you . autistic people are an incredibly diverse group just like non - autistic people , and popular perceptions often arent particularly accurate . get to know him as an individual , and dont rely on stereotypes . mixed signals are confusing in general , but even more so for autistic people . if you have a schedule conflict , tell him its a schedule conflict , and ask to reschedule the date . if youre upset , tell him that youre upset , and why . this will help him respond to you better . that is the greatest gift you can give an autistic person .
dont take advantage of his interest in you . take him aside and clearly tell him how you feel . continue hanging out as much as youd like . consider giving him a little space if he seems to be having a hard time . set limits as needed . tell him if hes doing something you dont like . treat him with compassion .

since he may be honest and unabashed in his pursuit of you , it may be tempting to put off rejecting him to avoid breaking his heart . this can hurt him , by allowing him to be led on and look like a fool . its best to rip off the band - aid and tell him right away . since mixed signals can confuse autistic people , directly explain that youre flattered but uninterested . while hell feel a little sad , part of him will feel grateful that you were clear with him so he could stop wasting his time wooing someone who didnt want to be wooed . speak as clearly and compassionately as you can . then tell him if you want to be friends or if you think its better that you go your separate ways . dont offer to be his friend out of pity . you wont be doing him or yourself a favor . only offer to be his friend if you truly like being with him . he will probably be okay with going back to being friends . seeing you might be painful to him for a while , and he may be too polite to say it . if you notice that he seems a little sadder or more distant than usual , it might be time to back off for a little while . for example , if he likes to spend hours chatting in the evenings , its okay to say hey , i really cant talk with you after 7 pm . ive got plans tonight . you dont have to mention that the plans involve movies and fuzzy pajamas . explain that a specific action makes you uncomfortable or is socially inappropriate . give reasons if you can . most likely , he will be apologetic and respectful of your feelings . for example , it startles me and makes me feel uncomfortable when you hug me from behind . please stop doing that . if you want a hug , you can approach me from the front , or hug somebody else . it may feel blunt , but clarity is the best way to get through to him . that way , he wont keep doing something you dont like , and then feel embarrassed or guilty about not noticing the signals later . remember that autistic people , while sometimes socially clueless , are good at heart . raising your voice or making accusations will hurt him , and you may feel like a bully afterwards .
get the right attitude . understand that its going to require effort to control your feelings . communicate with the person . use body language , but dont overdo it . drop hints . be original with dates . know that the worst that can happen is that your crush says no . if you realize after a while that you dont really want to go out with this person , you simply want to be friends , stop the flirting . make a list of things about this person that you dont like . stay away from this person . if the crush asks you out , say no .

how to control your feelings around the person you like 2
when you find your thoughts returning over and over again to that particular person , you may benefit from a period of sustained thought about that person . for a set period of time , even 10 minutes can be enough , think only about that person . doing this can lessen the intensity of the feeling , leaving you calmer . try not to think about your future together or what might come focus your thoughts only on that person and their characteristics for the entirety of the time . sometimes , all you need is the right distraction to get your mind off your potential lover . past happy experiences can restore perspective by interrupting the strong feelings you have for that person . think of past times when youve had fun , or a place where you feel safe and protected . repeat a mantra that you find soothing . some examples everythings going to be ok . i am calm , cool , and collected . with every breath , i release anxiety and become more calm . i overcome my fear and live life courageously . in some situations , people become so nervous around those they like that they become clumsy or inarticulate . if this happens to you , find the trigger and think about how you might combat it . if you have difficulty talking to him , bring up a topic youre passionate or knowledgeable about . if you find that when hes around youre all thumbs , invite him for coffee or something that requires little dexterity . your first letter will celebrate your feelings and all the reasons why you feel the way you do . in your second letter , write all the worries , concerns , and sources of anxiety related to the person you like . try to make a case for moving forward , after all , you are a worthy person regardless if your affections are returned . too often , people talk themselves into a negative loop that makes feelings more overwhelming with every passing instant . if you suffer with this condition , find out any automatic negative thoughts you have and interrupt those with an opposing positive thought . for example if he doesnt like me ill be so embarrassed and then people will think im a loser . wait a minute . i had friends before i started liking him , so i know ill have friends afterwards , too . i guess its silly to put so much self - worth on this . tell the entire dramatic story playing in your head to yourself several times . make sure you complete the story by taking it to its natural extreme . by the third or fourth time , you should be better able to recognize the absurdity of these extreme , yet natural , thoughts . if i ask him out on a date and he rejects me , everyone will talk about it forever . ill never stop hearing , for the rest of my life , about the one time i asked this guy out . it will haunt me through college and my professional life , because everyone will already know . note this technique is intended to reveal warped perspective to the person using it . if you find yourself truly believing these things and unable to see how your perspective is off kilter , talk to an adult or a mental health professional . though feelings of embarrassment or the knowledge of your own infatuation might make you hesitant , sharing your feelings with those you trust can help you come to terms with the normalcy of your situation , and leave you feeling less isolated . family members and trusted friends can be a great source of strength through the storm of romantic feelings you might now be suffering .
understand that having a crush creates a whirlwind of feelings . be aware of how the surreal feelings surrounding having a crush on someone can bring about your discomfort . get to know the person first . spend time together . find out what talents and skills your crush has and what flaws and vices he or she has . avoid shadowing or crowding your crush . treat all of the getting to know you stage as a slow but even process . realize that asking someone out takes bravery . practice asking before you actually do it . be respectful of your crushs space and pace . realize that being rejected is not the end of the world .
how to feel comfortable around your crush
these can cause you to feel a little giddy , lightheaded and possibly invincible . or , you may have rose - colored glasses about the whole situation , thinking that this person is perfect and that nothing else matters . as such , your giddier feelings are liable to contain elements of fantasy and can be a source of causing you to feel uncomfortable around your crush because you only see their virtues and not their whole self . use this knowledge to keep your head screwed on as you investigate the potential of this relationship longer term . acknowledge that while your feelings are normal for someone falling for another person , they are somewhat inflated and liable to lead you astray . try your best to keep them under control by reminding yourself that slow and steady wins the race and that its important to think through your feelings before acting on them . most of all , its vital to get to know your crush better , warts and all . crushing on someone you know little about can lead to unreasonable expectations , and can cause you to fantasize that this person is someone theyre actually not . by getting to know him or her , you can be assured that this person is someone youd like to date or maybe youll discover a good friend is the better option . spending time together without creating expectations can ease your discomfort . learn what this person cares about , likes to do and considers of interest . do these things match your own interests while you dont need to have the exact same interests in everything , having a few common interests will be essential to being able to share experiences , stories and news with each other , and itll enable both of you to have things to do together . avoid pretending that you enjoy doing or participating in something that you dont , just to please your crush . this can turn out to be a deal breaker later on when your crush discovers how you truly feel . it is far better to be honest . you can even say that you dont much like the activity or interest but youre willing to give it a go but wont keep it up if it still doesnt excite you . at least thats honest and your crush knows where they stand with you . remember , each person is the whole package––wonderful things , iffy things and vices––just like you . there is a spanish saying––if you dont love a persons flaws , then its not love at all . think of that when youre trying to work out whether this person is right for you . this may seem hard to consider while youve got rose - colored glasses about this person but knowing , understanding and accepting a persons flaws early on can be the pathway to a long - term and harmonious relationship . it can also help to ease your discomfort , knowing that your crush isnt all perfection . in the days when youre trying to get to know this person , easy does it . if they feel that youre always hanging around , always asking questions and always sticking your nose into their business , they may begin to feel crowded and they may feel uncomfortable themselves . it is best to pace out your hanging around together , remembering that its always better to leave a person wanting more of you than feeling theyd rather see less . dont start hanging around your crush more than your real and close friends . doing so will make it obvious you like the person more than as a friend and your own friends will feel peeved at being sidelined . avoid speeding things up or trying to show your deeper interest at this stage . as soon as you try to do either of those things , its likely that youll begin to feel uncomfortable and start to do things that can scare off your potential date or can cause you to look strange . keep reminding yourself that at this stage , all youre doing is getting to know this person better and that there is nothing to be uncomfortable about . avoid listening to what others have to say . they might give indications that your crush does , does not , might or might not like you . frankly , its none of their business and theyre not the two of you . just smile and nod politely whenever others try to give you advice . you can take it or leave it but you dont need to act on it or agree with it . its eventually up to you to decide whether or not youll ask this person out . yet , its done every day by thousands of people everywhere , so take heart from this and prepare yourself for the big question . expect to feel the jitters , to be nervous and to feel some discomfort . the question asking itself is a scary process . however , your crush is a not a scary person––youve taken the time to get to know him or her better , and youre friends . from here , things are going to be sorted out between you , so have faith that youre doing the right thing . rehearsal is the great way to quell discomfort . at least that way , youll have some lines already worked out and itll feel easy than stumbling into asking out your crush . write down your lines , then practice them beforehand . it might help to say them in front of the mirror , or it might not––try anyway , to see how you feel . while ultimately you must decide what lines to deliver to your crush , some suggestions include hey r , i was wondering how you feel about going to the x competition together this weekend . i know you love x and i do too , and i thought itd be a great way to spend a first date together . b , i was hoping youd be interested in coming to x event with me tomorrow , as a date . im happy to drive us . a little more intimate hey s , weve been spending a lot of time together lately and ive grown close to you . i would love to go on a date with you soon . how do you feel about that your crush may not be ready to answer you immediately , or your crush may answer like lightning . either way , be ready for the answer if its yes , youre off to a new start together . say something like thats great , or cool ill start organizing it now . if its no , or i need more time , be gracious . say that you understand and that you just hoped there might be a chance but you accept their decision . it signals that this person doesnt feel compatibility with you , and thats at least honest and fair . it also shows that you have the courage to put yourself out there and ask the questions that need asking . sometimes the answers wont be to your liking but other times they will be . at least youve given it your best shot . now you can think about what didnt work and try differently next time , with a new crush .

if you are able to see your crush one last time before leaving , it can be very helpful . it will give you closure and a final memory . if you are comfortable , you can even tell them how you feel . it can be a huge relief to get it off your chest . unexpressed feelings can cause stress and sadness , so it might help you in the long run to tell them exactly how you feel about them . when youre going through something hard , a lot of people will tell you to , stay strong . while their intentions are good , its ok to express your emotions . sometimes a good cry can get out some of those awful emotions that words cant . dont bottle up your feelings , because they could come out when you least expect it . sadness isnt pathetic or a sign of weakness . tears just mean you really cared about someone and youre sad to say goodbye . dont be ashamed . when youre young , often times your crushes arent taken seriously by others , nor are your heartbreaks . people may not understand your sadness , but that doesnt mean you should sweep it under the rug . be gentle with yourself , and treat yourself to the things you enjoy doing . draw up a bubble bath , take a yoga class , or play a third round of video games . give yourself little treats to help you in your sad time . its helpful to be honest with your parents and friends about how youre feeling , so they understand what is going on . its good to let your feelings out , but its not good to throw yourself a never - ending pity party . give yourself a limit of how long youll let yourself wallow . maybe its a weekend , maybe its a full week . spend that spoiling yourself , or doing the cliché things that people do to get over a break - up . eat sweets , watch movies , sleep in , cry , listen to sad music , and do anything else that you feel like doing . when youve reached the time limit you set for yourself , stop . turn off the sad music , tidy up , call some friends , and get ready to start moving on . wallowing will never make you feel better . its ok to do it for a little bit and get out those awful feelings , but its not a long - term solution . when youre down in the dumps , it can be tempting to isolate yourself and hide in your bedroom . challenge yourself to say yes to every invitation that comes your way . whether its shooting hoops with your dad , going to the movies with a friend , or running errands with your mom , just say yes leaving the house and surrounding yourself with people who love you can be incredibly helpful . now is a great time to dive into that big project youve been considering starting . rather than sitting around and thinking about your crush , do something productive and fun redecorate your room , start a blog , train for a race , learn how to cook a new recipe , whatever the more energy you channel into a fun project , the less energy youll have to be upset over your crush . you may feel lethargic and down when you know you wont see your crush again , but its important to keep doing the things that bring you joy . dont skip your extracurriculars or cancel plans that you typically love just because youre sad . you may dread going somewhere or following through on your plans , but end up having a fantastic time . give yourself the chance to forget about your crush and remember the hobbies you love doing . if you are never going to see your crush again , its important to close that chapter to move onto the next . you will probably not be able to move on if you sleep with his picture next to your bed , or stalk his facebook every single day . you dont need to burn his photograph or unfriend him , but you should tuck the photo away somewhere and try not to look at their page . the less youre bombarded with memories of him , the sooner you can heal and move on . instagram , snapchat , twitter , and other social media platforms can be great ways to stay in contact with your crush if they live far away . however , these can also extend the amount of time that youre upset and stuck on them . try to minimize your interactions through social media . for example , reduce your daily snapchat messages from ten to five and then to none . it might seem unnecessary , or even harsh , but its much easier to get over someone and close the chapter if you arent communicating with them 247 . your crush was probably awesome , but hes not the only awesome person youll ever meet . it can be hard to know that youll never see him again , but you will definitely have new crushes . you may let them pass by if youre too busy mourning your last crush . get excited about your future , because there will be plenty of amazing people coming in and out of your life . once youve successfully coped with saying a permanent goodbye to a crush , youre a stronger and wiser person . youve learned how to make it through a really tough situation , and youll be able to handle hard things in the future . painful experiences are never pointless– youre officially a tougher and smarter person after it all .
look for signs . know your limits . make sure the person is ready . follow their lead .

how to kiss a girl the first time in your room
this can be done in a number of ways , but the best and probably most effective would be ask her if she would like to see your room . something along the lines of , hey want to go upstairs my room is warmernicermore comfortable than here . if she seems against it , dont push it or youll make her uncomfortable and you should avoid making someone uncomfortable . you could also try using some different lines . try saying , all my cds are upstairs , want to give them a listen you could also say , there are some hilarious pictures in my yearbook upstairs . want to take a look suggest you go to your room by saying , my sister always bothers me down here . want to go upstairs where its a little quieter always follow your parents rules about having people in your room and closing doors . she may not be happy with being shut in a room with her boyfriend she hasnt even kissed yet . close the door , but not all the way . leave it cracked open slightly . it probably wouldnt be ideal if either of your parents come in while you guys are kissing , so keep an eye or an ear out for them . if you are not allowed to close your door with a girl in the room , respect your parents rules and leave the door open . if you sit down and pull her down next to you , she might feel threatened or feel that things are moving too fast . give her some time to look around your room , familiarize herself with it , and become more comfortable . she will sit down when she is ready and feels like doing so . when she does , sit down next to her . when you are both on the bed , show her something , like a yearbook , your favorite books or music , or a funny video on your computer . if youre both looking at something or talking while you sit down , youll make the atmosphere a lot less awkward and soon both of you will be more comfortable . say something like , did you see that youtube video about the fox and then pull up the video on your computer . you could also show her a book you like and say , have you ever read this book its one of my favorites . making eye contact will help you both feel chemistry and will also help you to understand what she might be thinking or feeling . look for positive signals from her . positive signals include , smiling , laughing at your jokes , or looking at your lips . if shes playing with her hair or putting her hair behind her ear , she may be trying to get you to look at her face . fidgeting with her clothes might mean shes nervous . if she says stop , then stop . if she stops you , it could be for a couple of reasons . either shes not comfortable due to being in an unfamiliar place , or shes never kissed someone before and is not ready . some people can get nervous others want to save their first kiss for a really special time or place . dont take this personally . try again some other time . it is possible that she may not like you in that way . this can be difficult to accept but dont take it personally . sometimes girls just need a little more time . who knows she might actually want to kiss you later on . make sure you are gentle and move slowly , closing your eyes as you go in for the kiss . move in at a slight angle . if you move in with your face upright , youll bump noses with her and your lips wont meet . this can be awkward dont stick out your lips , but gently press them against hers . dont try tongue on the first kiss . tongue is not good on the first kiss , unless she slips you a little tongue . if she does , go easy . dont force it down her throat . keep your eyes closed while kissing . otherwise , its kind of creepy if youre just staring at her while you kiss . keep it short . the first time you kiss , keep it under ten seconds . if you both end up liking the kiss , you can always continue kissing for longer . if you feel its the right time , you can move on to the french kiss . do this only if the girl is ready . if this is your first kiss altogether , not just the first in your room , you may want to hold off on trying that . if you decide to french kiss , move in at an angle , close your eyes , and begin with a couple close - mouth kisses . kiss her lower or upper lip a couple times . when you open your mouth to kiss her , slip a little tongue into her mouth and bring it back out . the goal is to touch her tongue , and touch it gently . dont ram it in there . take turns meeting her tongue with open - mouth kisses . while french kissing , its okay to keep your mouth slightly open . remember to breathe while kissing . its easy to forget to breathe while kissing . breathe through your nose quietly and slowly . when the kiss is over , it could be cute to give her a small kiss on the cheek or a hug to end the kiss sweetly . this , however , would not be so cute if the kiss ended in her pushing you away . keep this in mind when making a move and be respectful of the girl . if she doesnt want to kiss , gently put both your hands on her waist or softly place your hand on one side of her face . if she responds well to this keep going . if she starts to lean away , open her eyes or closes her mouth then stop what you are doing and move on to a different activity .
relax . match the energy of the person youre with . keep a conversation . use your eyes . lean close to him . touch him . move in for the kiss .

how to tell your best friend you love her
its an all - too - common tale of woe someone confesses true love to a best friend only to discover that things arent really the same after . telling your best friend that you love her forces both of you to re - evaluate the way you look at each other . its important to weigh the relationship you have now against the one you might have only if everything goes well . if your current relationship is really important to you , you may not want to risk it . the fact that its almost impossible to go back to the way things were after your confession doesnt necessarily mean that youll ruin your relationship with your best friend . however , it does mean that youll almost definitely change it . for example , if you used to see movies together in a strictly platonic way , this may become an awkward activity . its very important not to fool yourself into thinking that youll live happily ever after with her if you can just tell her how you feel . doing this is setting yourself up for a huge disappointment if she doesnt feel the same way . you dont have to be a pessimist about your chances , but you do need to be realistic and remember that its her choice whether things move further — not a sure thing . if you cant bear the thought of rejection , you may want to move on . remember that rejection doesnt always mean that youre not good enough . there are a number of reasons why someone may not want to date . for instance , she may not want to have a serious relationship with anyone at the moment . there may even be things that you dont know about that prevent her from dating , like work and school commitments that take all of her time . did your feelings for your best friend arrive suddenly without warning if so , you may want to give yourself a few weeks or months to see whether the feelings stick . feeling attracted to someone today doesnt necessarily mean youll feel the same way forever . dont risk a great friendship with a confession of love only to discover that what you really had was a short - term crush or , as psychologists say , an infatuation . below are just a few signs that these professionals use to identify infatuationinfatuation comes on almost instantly rather than gradually . infatuation is powerful , but short - lived . infatuation is mainly focused on physical attraction . infatuation makes you see the other person as perfect or flawless this is different than seeing someone as perfect for you - - that is , someone who has flaws , but you appreciate these flaws because you are able to compensate for them . infatuation isnt being in love with someone else — its being in love with the feeling of being in love . though it can be a little awkward to talk with other people about deeply personal feelings , its often a good idea in situations like this . having a crush can make it hard to judge situations realistically , so other peoples advice can be a huge help . if it seems like most of your peers are telling you not to go after someone , you should seriously consider their advice . a few people you may want to consider talking to include your other friends her friends if you know them well enough — they may even be able to tell you how she feels about you siblings or parents that youre especially close to a counselor or teacher you trust when you tell your best friend you love her , you want to do as much as you can to make her calm and comfortable . pick a time and a place where neither of you will have other big emotional stresses to worry about . its difficult for anyone to make smart decisions about romantic issues when theyre already under pressure from something else . a few examples of things that can make for a less - than - great environment to talk about your feelings with her include she has something important coming up that she needs to focus on like a big exam or a role in a play . she has just gotten out of a major relationship or is still in one — this is a definite no - go . she is going through a difficult period in her life trouble at work or school , family issues , etc . an example of a good time and place to bring your feelings up is when youre enjoying a comfortable , casual one - on - one hangout on the weekend . dropping delicate hints about your intentions is a good way to judge your chances of success without putting your friendship at too much of a risk . if she responds to your gentle flirting lukewarmly or seems to feel uncomfortable , youll know to back off . see our article on flirting for great step - by - step instructions . a few basic tips you may want to keep in mind can be found belowuse affectionate body language . maintain good eye contact and smile . touch her arm or shoulder when she makes you laugh . gently tease her for minor slip - ups . for best results , have a good sense of humor about it and make it obvious that youre kidding . try to one or two weave compliments into the conversation . if you can do it while also gently teasing her , all the better . keep things lighthearted and dont come on too strong . you may risk tipping your hand too early or even creeping her out . dating is something you do after you establish a romantic connection with someone — not before . treating your best friend to a nice candlelit dinner may seem like a nice thing to do , but it can be confusing for her if she doesnt catch on to what youre trying to do or awkward if she does . save the presents and formal dinners for later . your best bet for now is to arrange a much more casual hang - out session . in addition , youll be spending money maybe even quite a bit of it on something that may turn out poorly for you . if you save your money , you can always take someone else on a date if your best friend doesnt have romantic feelings for you . theres almost no way to have this conversation without both of you having strong emotions , so give her the courtesy of a little privacy . you dont have to be completely isolated for this , but it should be someplace comfortable where your conversation wont be overheard and you wont be interrupted . an example of a good place to have this conversation is a bench in a park far away from other people . youll be comfortable , it will unlikely for other people to interfere , and , best of all , youll have a romantic view . whatever you do , dont make a big public spectacle . remember that theres a significant chance shell say no — in this case , attracting a crowd will be very embarrassing for both of you . when youre with your best friend somewhere private and comfortable , you have one final chance to back out . if youre still ready to go through with things , its time to tell her whats been on your mind . do your best to stay relaxed while you open up to your friend . remember — itll all be over soon , and even if things dont go your way , youll at least have peace of mind . its only natural to get some butterflies and many girls will find a little nervousness cute , but being so nervous that you can barely get your words out will make things a lot harder . see our article on staying calm under stress for more help . dont waste much time beating around the bush . be simple and direct . tell your friend how she makes you feel . this will be different for everyone , so try to follow your heart . a few things you may want to mention are suggested below , but feel free to phrase things differently if you think it will be more genuine . tell her that , lately , youve been thinking of her as more than a friend and that you wanted to know how she felt . tell her that youve been struggling your feelings for some time and that youre just relieved to finally open up about it . tell her that , no matter how she feels , you value her and you want to have a positive relationship with her . this is crucial — you dont want her to feel like youre only interested in knowing her if she wants to be romantic with you this conversation is likely to be a little awkward no matter which way it goes . however , you can make things much less awkward for both of you if you give your friend a reasonable way to say no without embarrassing herself . this isnt as hard as it sounds — basically , just mention that its ok if she doesnt want to get together right now . a few things you may want to mention are listed below tell her that you completely understand if she cant be in a relationship right now . tell her that you dont know whether she has anything going on in her life that might keep you two from dating . stress that you wont be upset if she doesnt feel the same way as you . big , dramatic displays of emotion might seem like a good idea , but they can make this conversation a lot more stressful and tense than it needs to be . try to talk in a calm voice and to use a friendly , lighthearted tone . you can even use a little humor to ease the tension by joking about how antsy youve been to talk about this — a well - placed laugh can make things much easier . note you will probably want to avoid actually using the word love . for many people , this word can have a huge weight that may make the prospect of being with you a little scary . most relationship experts recommend against using the l word until after youre dating . the decision youre asking your friend to make is an important one . dont force her into a position where she has to give you an answer right away or she may not be able to give the best , most honest answer possible . if she seems on the fence , tell her that its alright if she needs some time to think . tell her that youre willing to give her space while shes making up her mind . ask for your friends input throughout the conversation — be sure to allow her to express her self and not to dominate the conversation . when she comes to a decision whether thats right away or days later , listen to what she says . its ok to ask questions about the way she feels , but dont question the decision itself . this is her decision to make and yours to accept not the other way around . if she doesnt feel the same way about you that you feel about her , dont try to change her mind . this is an easy way to come across as desperate . if you really love her , you should want her to be happy , even if you dont agree with her reasoning . if your best friend reacts positively , congratulations celebrate your success by planning a date with your new sweetheart . if , on the other hand , your friend doesnt like the idea of romance , you should be prepared to step back from your relationship — at least for a while . there may be difficult feelings on both side even if your best friend lets you down gently and gracefully . luckily , as the old saying goes , time heals all wounds . spending a few weeks or a month away from someone whos rejected you can be a very good thing . it can allow you to heal , accept the fact that you wont be getting together , and move on to new romantic prospects . when you do meet up with your best friend again , take things slow . you may not go back to the same level of intimacy you had before right away . be willing to gradually work your way back into a close platonic relationship . it may not be exactly the same as the relationship you used to have , but its unlikely to be worse .

how to seduce your friend
making sure you have a great relationship as friends before moving onto anything else should be considered as much more than simply preparing for your big seduction . if you are friends with someone already , he is going to base your seduction on what he knows of you as a person , moreso than the seduction itself . there are friendships in all varying degrees , but many things should be true for all of them . try to make a regular habit of talking to him . even if its small talk , it goes to show that youre interested in him as a person and care about the little things . make him feel good about himself . people choose the people in their life usually depending on how they make each other feel . this is true for relationships as much as friendships . you only want to make your move if you think the timing is right . if your friend just heard some bad news and is looking for a shoulder to cry on , a seduction might not be a good idea . the same is true if there is a lack of chemistry between the two of you at the given time . if you think things arent working at the moment , its better to wait it out . try not to wait too long , however . in doing so , you might let someone else take your friend into a relationship , thus ruining your chances at seduction . as a general rule , the more two people of the opposite sex spend together , the more chance there is for something to spark . before you go in for a direct seduction , sometimes simply asking to hang out often says a lot on its own . if you dont spend time together on a regular basis , you should ask him to meet up . even if you are just meeting as friends , its a great way to maximize the chances of something happening . time in a group is okay , but there is little chance of something special coming out of that . one on one time is different however , as it means the two people are there specifically for time with each other . a proper seduction cannot take place if youre in a crowded area . to be intimate , you need an intimate space . this could be at the end of a night at a party together , or after one of you has invited the other over . a quiet , private setting is important because you dont want any external pressures affecting the way the seduction is received . even if someone wants to be seduced , he may feel shy about it if he thinks his friends will be there to see it happen . even if your friend finds you physically attractive , you will have a hard time of properly seducing him if youre bringing his mood down . emphasize your positive side . this can be done as simply as making a conscious decision to be pleasant around the person you would like to seduce . being cheerful leads to opportunities to flirt more openly , whether you consciously mean to or not . a proper seduction is very rarely a serious thing . its the way thats going to break the two of you past the barrier between friends and something more . light touching can include anything from a hug to a brief touch on the arm . these movements arent risking a lot , and you can usually tell from the way theyre reacting to it whether theyll accept bolder gestures . you can try to keep your flirtations subtle if you want to save the chance of pulling back if you decide your affections arent being reciprocated . while its normal to make eye contact with a friend while youre talking , prolonged eye contact usually hints at something more . studies have shown that holding someones gaze for an extended amount of time can provoke intense feelings . even if you normally spend time with this friend , make a point of keeping eye contact while you seduce him . the reaction of eye contact can be positive or negative . a lot of it depends on whether the other person finds you physically attractive . if the friend you want to seduce is already close and comfortable enough with you , regular conversation should come naturally to the two of you . with the foundations in place , youll want to work playful flirting into your talk . exchanging light , teasing remarks into your conversation is a great place to start . compliments are a more direct way of showing interest , especially if those compliments are aimed at things youre typically attracted to . an example of a flirtatious remark your hair looks great today . i think it really suits you . a simple but important thing to do before you make the final push is to reflect on the ways in which your friend has reacted towards your flirtations thus far . if hes smiled when youve touched him or responded to your teasing with teasing of his own , its probable your friend is inviting you to make a move . on the contrary , if your friend is looking uncomfortable , its probably a sign you should back off . everyones psychology is different . if you are already friends with this person , you should have at least a basic idea how you think hed react to someone hes attracted to . all seductions involve a moment of truth . most often , this means a kiss , although it might also mean an overtly sexual or romantic comment . if your friend has responded well to non - committal overtures , you can move in . kissing on the lips is often seen as something that is reserved for more than just friends . once you think the time is right , move in . dont be too quick about it either . it may be stressful , but its not an experience you want to rush . all bold moves are risky by their very nature . its a good idea to feel out your chances before making a commitment to the seduction . women generally tend to play a more submissive role in seductions , but women sometimes play it off as an active way to pull a man in . if you think there is mutual attraction there , he may well be waiting for the right moment to make his own move . you should let him know that its a good idea to step in . consequences for a seduction could be very good , or very bad . your friendship could give birth to a one - night stand or even a long - term relationship . on the other hand , things can get uncomfortable and awkward quickly . if this is the case , the best way to repair a friendship provided you want to repair it is by talking openly about what happened . explain what you felt and why you wanted to do what you did . its usually best not to pry into questions like why he rejected you . focusing on the rejection itself can lead to bitterness on both ends . if all is indeed lost , you have to accept your losses . not everything is going to work out the way you want it to the same is especially true in pursuing relationships . if the seduction has failed for whatever reason , theres going to be a spot of awkwardness . it is best to turn this into an opportunity for both sides to vent their feelings and say how they feel . this may lessen the impact of the rejection , but its necessary if you want to keep the friendship alive . be honest with how you feel . if the other person tries to brush it off as a joke , it may be best to follow through with that and move past the episode as quickly as possible . otherwise , its a good idea to talk about what happened as friends . make sure to let your friend that you care about her as a friend , in spite of any added attraction youve had for her . you might start a conversation with something like this i know how this might look . while i am attracted to you , i also value you as a great friend . i hope you dont think i feel any less of you because of this . following the seduction , you need to move forward . this is true whether the seduction worked , youre staying friends , or the friendship was ruined as a result . the outcomes vary wildly , but even in the worst case , there is no benefit in letting yourself suffer over it . an important part of life lies in accepting your decisions and learning from them . even if you regret making the seduction , you should forgive yourself as soon as you can . after all , you were taking a risk , and for that , you should feel proud of yourself . if the seduction fails completely and your friendship is terminated , fill the emotional void with something new and fresh . keep yourself occupied . the people who heal from emotional pain the fastest are those who stay busy . dont take it personally . move on , and fuel your frustrations towards getting to a better place in life . if the seduction fails but you manage to remain friends , try to let things resume as they did . staying friends is easiest if you manage to talk things through when the seduction happens . accept that some feelings arent mutual , while others are . if youre rejected at first and the friendship stays together , he might begin to see just how much you value him . if you let the subject be for the time being , there is the chance he might change his mind and realize what a catch you are . if you are already friends with someone , there is some chance you can figure out your chances of success based on your existing interactions . is there already some flirting involved in your interactions together is she involved with someone else already do you get the impression she already finds you attractive if you get a less - than - desired answer for at least one of these questions , it does not necessarily mean there is no hope for you . rather , youll have to play your cards right , and possibly change things about yourself to suit her needs in a partner . having expectations beforehand is an important part of making things work . even if you do successfully seduce your friend , things can go sour quickly if you dont know where to go from there . whether they respond well to your seduction is another thing , but you should keep in mind that you friend may already have feelings for you that you havent noticed yourself . if you go about it in a way that isnt weird or demanding , the gesture can seem affectionate if anything . unlike trying to date a stranger , there is more of a risk factor in meaning to seduce a friend . for starters , you could ruin your friendship . even worse , the fallout from it could affect other mutual friendships as well . on the other hand , a friendship that is strong enough can usually survive a failed seduction , provided things are discussed openly . cross - reference your expectations with your expected chances and decide for yourself whether you should go through with it . there is no easy answer to a question like this , but it is important that you live with whatever decision you make . although going for the seduction may seem like the riskier move , staying quiet can result in just as much pain if you really like the person . it should also be said that there are varying degrees of success that relate to your expectations . if you

how to impress a girl and get her to like you
it isnt always about some elaborate way of getting her notice you and how youre different in a great way . everybody looks a million times kinder and more attractive with a smile . dont be creepy about it . theres a fine line between an attractive smile and the unnerving smile of a sociopath . this is not exactly a crazy idea nor is it one that you would immediately think of as guys tend to think about big , heroic acts first . the truth of the matter , however , is that you can impress a girl simply by being able to hold an interesting , intelligent , and , hopefully , exciting conversation . its something that doesnt matter to most girls . what girls really care about is attitude , confidence , and personality . so if you talk to that girl that is supposedly out of your league and do it in an interesting way , you may just find yourself on her radar real quick . you dont always have to be the best . there are few things that irritate girls more than a guy who always has to be talking about how he is better than everyone else – at everything . everybody has bad days , but its up to you to put a positive spin on it . every gray cloud has a silver lining , as they say , and being able to find it is a very impressive ability . you dont have to slay a dragon or rescue them from an evil king . simply open the door for them , pull out their chair , let them wear your coat if theyre cold , or take their hand to help them out of the car or down some sketchy stairs . and have some manners , will you please girls are not even remotely impressed by burps , farts , or other young boy - type behavior . far more often than not they find these behaviors crude , annoying , and just plain gross . nothing gets a girls attention better than a guy who is having a good time with her friends . not only is the natural competition instinct triggered but she can see immediately that youre likable and fun and that makes a lasting impression . this tells her that you dont care about what else is going on when youre talking to someone – especially her . the best is when they say something along the lines of , your cell phone is ringing . why because you can let her know that it cant be anything more important than talking to her . now thats impressive . ask her advice . ask questions . compliment her answers , her appearance , a talent youve witnessed her display , or her new glasses . anything new about her or that catches your eye is a great topic to give her kudos on . its just like meeting someone for the first time in person so its important to make the same great first impression . be honest about yourself and show her how you are unique just by being you . talk about her ask her what her likesdislikes are . ask about her favorite bands . find out what her favorite music is . send her funny memes or videos . when you do it at the right time , with the right amount of silliness , cheesy lines like , do you believe in love at first sight or should i walk by you again can work like a charm . it not only shows your sense of humor but that youre confident enough to let her know youre interested in her . this doesnt mean reading the directions on the box of mac n cheese and pulling it off correctly . go to a website like foodchannel . com and learn how to make it from scratch , practice it , and then do it with confidence in front of her . shell be hugely impressed . if she finds out that youre not who she thinks you are , not only will it be embarrassing , but you will lose some major points as well . if she doesnt like you for who you really are , shes not worth your time and you can do better . if a girl sees you with your mom or sister and sees you have a good relationship with them and treat them well you have just made your likability soar . this doesnt mean being obsequious , it means being thoughtful and considerate . if they also see you playing with niecesnephews and how much the children adore you thats huge bonus points . some guys might take this the wrong way so understand if youre a t - shirt and jeans guy , then by all means where t - shirts and jeans . but ‘clean t - shirts and ‘clean jeans , not nasty , grungy ones or cheap dime - store ones either . it doesnt take a designer suit and tie though if thats your style then rock it it just takes some attention to how you look . being clean is very important and not just regarding clean clothes . that includes taking showers , washing your hair , brushing your teeth , etc . they key difference between confidence and arrogance or narcissism is that when youre confident youre proud of your accomplishments or whatever it is youve done but then you shift the focus of the conversation back onto her or someone else . its not all about you because you know who you are and are fine letting others take some credit as well , no one wants to date someone who does nothing in life because thats boring . women will be interested in knowing you more intimately if you have a rich and varied set of things that interest you . you should also never be embarrassed by the things that interests you . is it geeky then own up to it because that is a powerful attractor as well . these topics will also get you speaking passionately , which just takes the whole likability factor to stratospheric levels . women love passion and showing you have it is key . we all like to be around someone who makes us laugh . for girls it is even more important as it speaks to the level of comfort and confidence that you have in yourself . the key is to make sure that your jokes arent at the expense of others . that is a big tip - off that maybe youre not so confident and need to put down others to feel better about yourself . this also true of being able to laugh at her jokes , even if theyre not all that funny . remember , we like to be around funny people but we also like it when people laugh at our jokes . laughing out loud , and the ability to do so without reservation , is very appealing as well . no one likes a yes man . a girl might like it at first – everyone likes to always get their way at first . eventually , however , it wears thin because you clearly have no opinion and thus no point of view , which is profoundly uninteresting . it could also mean that you dont respect yourself enough to say what you think , which is also a major turn - off . its scientifically proven that women are more emotionally fulfilled through talking and sharing . this doesnt mean solving their problems if shes telling you about them . it means really listening and demonstrating that youre hearing what theyre telling you . you can let her know your listening through non - verbal cues , such as smiling , laughing , nodding , or reacting appropriately to the emotions of the story . repeat back to her what she said . not verbatim , but by summarizing what she said both reinforces for her what shes just told and that you are listening so attentively that you got it . nothing makes a girl happier or gives her the warm fuzzies quite like knowing that a guy she is or even isnt thinking about is thinking about her . this can be done in a wide variety of ways , such as sending a link to a youtube video you think she might like . text her a funny vine . unexpectedly invite her to join your group of friends for a night out to a movie , concert , miniature golf , of any other fun activity . a lot of women will pay attention to one very specific behavior to see what kind of person you really are how you treat your server at a restaurant . two other key behaviors they watch is how you treat animals and children . if you score on all of these you just might have some swooning on your hands . a guy who is capable of leading , of making decisions and getting others to follow them is very attractive to girls . couple this with being willing to admit mistakes and move on to make the appropriate and necessary changes and you have yourself a winning recipe for getting that girl to like you . women of all ages like to feel protected and nothing says that like being the man in charge who is adaptable and confident as a leader .

some of these will be fairly obvious . she may want to be with someone with the same religious values , or a non - smoker . you dont have to necessarily meet all of her criteria , but you should avoid failing to meet her standards , as this will often remove you from her romantic pool . make a list of features shared by all her previous boyfriends . these are likely things she makes it a priority to find in her romantic interests , and may be characteristics you should consider cultivating in yourself . this is often related to her own personal characteristics . many people , including your female friend , search for a partner with the same positive characteristics that they like in themselves , but want qualities in a partner that are opposite to the things they dislike about themselves . after you find out some of the things she dislikes about herself , show her how you can compliment those areas with your strengths . you could say i hate how competitive i am . i think id be much happier if i learned to enjoy things instead of making them into a competition . what about you if you could change one thing about yourself , what would it be psychologists have discovered that as we go through life , we start developing a love map , or an idea of who we want to be in a relationship . some aspects of her love map will be conscious , like she might want an educated partner , but these can also be subconscious preferences , like how affectionate her partner is . by understanding her love map , you can meet her needs better . though there are many variables that will affect her particular love map , look for these criteria to guide you in understanding her love map the expectation of romantic relationships to involve commitment . the accepted duration for a relationship . a belief that the right romantic partner will bring satisfaction . the ideal length of time acceptable before arriving at a romantic commitment saying i love you . the length of time between a breakup and becoming involved in a new relationship . the acceptable length of time spent waiting for a partner to commit . the level of acceptable disagreement on basic life values . whether or not an argument with a partner is exciting or frightening . whether or not a polyamorous relationship is acceptable . the amount of time expected to be spent seperate from friends , family , and social eventsobligations . be on your best behavior when you do so , because these people will give you a window into her life that few others will have at their disposal . if youre serious about your love for your female friend , expressing your genuine caring for her to her friends will likely earn you their respect , and maybe their approval . you dont have to bare your heart and confess your love to her friends try to earn the respect of her friends by being a nice guy . explain how youve noticed shes been stressed and ask what they think you can do . or mention that shes been a good friend and you want to do something nice , what do they think shed appreciate breakups , especially difficult breakups , will cause her to revise her love map , whether consciously or unconsciously . by showing her that you are different from her ex , youll make yourself a more desirable potential partner . science has shown that the chemicals released when you and her experience fear together are linked closely with arousal and attraction . thrilling experiences can give you both a dose of good anxiety , and set the tone for the next stage in your relationship . roller coasters and amusement parks are a great way to get the blood pumping without actually scaring her . a suspenseful thriller can also have this effect , though you might want to avoid slasher and gore - filled films . you dont want yourself associated with the homicidal , even if you do want her heart . the physical response you have to a workout mimics your bodys response to arousal . by exercising together , not only will you both be riding an endorphin high which shell start associating with you , but also , shell likely see you in a more attractive light . this may seem underhanded , but if you really are a good match and she just cant see it , your efforts to win her over can get a boost when supported by a trusted source , like her friends . if her friends think youre great , chances are shell agree . this can only work to your advantage while winning her heart . the more you hear something , the more youll believe its true . this same fact will work in your favor when winning over your female friend . you dont have call every five minutes , which might put her off , but by staying in sight or being around her frequently , youll reinforce the naturalness of your presence there . this may seem a little over the top , and you might not want to employ something as obvious as a candlelit dinner . after all , you dont want to come on too strong . however , studies have shown that large pupils are a signal to which your female friend will unconsciously respond . dilated pupils can be an indication of many things , but for your situation , most important is that pupils dilate when feeling physical or psychological pleasure . going to a movie as friends or a dimly lit coffee shop and making eye contact will send her subconscious the sign that you have chemistry . when you feel like youve met your perfect match , its easy to say too much too soon . holding back can be difficult , but by not giving her all the details , shell find her mind wondering more and more about you , which could lead feelings of friendship to something more . this can be tricky , as every woman will have a different level of flirtation she is comfortable with . take cues from her past relationships . what did you notice other guys did that worked what flopped remember , its important to respect her boundaries , even when trying to win her heart . compliment with a hint of sexiness . instead of saying that she looks good , you might instead say , if only my last date were as breathtaking as you . this way , you indicate subtly that you think you would be a good match while complimenting her . find ways to be physically close . in all relationships , closeness is a sign of comfort and intimacy . though keep in mind , some people need more personal space than others . dont force closeness find ways of naturally and comfortably coming together . the hushed atmosphere of museums makes whispering while standing close normal . allow your touches to linger . you will need to gauge her comfort level before attempting this , as an unexpected touch can come across as pushy . but physical touch releases oxytocin in the blood , sometimes referred to as the love hormone . if your female friend is externally dependent , that is , if she relies on people or things outside of herself to feel good about herself , its likely she will be thrilled if you chase after her . be wary of coming on too strong . many independent women consider that kind of behavior to be suffocating , which wont win you points in her book of love . this is your friend , and even if youve been suffering with these romantic feelings for a long time , the last thing you should want is to make her feel uncomfortable . strong emotions make it easy to get carried away dont allow your strong feelings to compromise your friendship . journaling about your feelings can help you feel less overwhelmed , which can be a powerful preventative for making a hasty , emotional decision . write a personal letter . this will help you get all the things you want to say down on paper , without having said them to your female friend . now you can think about whether these might come across as too strong the last thing you want is to scare her away , especially if theres potential for love . does she constantly want to hang out with you alone do you find her looking at you more frequently , or did she break up with a boyfriend for no particular reason that you know ofthese can all be signals that she is becoming interested in you as more than just a friend . this can be dangerous , as sometimes friends will make decisions on their own that they feel is best for your female friend . however , if she has a friend that you are also friends with , and trust , you can get a clear read on the situation by asking if you stand a chance . be sure you express yourself clearly has she said anything about me i really want to be the one to tell her myself , but ive been thinking lately that we might be good as more than friends . as her friend , this will be a lot easier for you to determine than some stranger off the street . pay attention to her work schedule , home life , social life , and any other factor that might be adding stress to her life or making her unhappy . you dont want these to influence her decision negatively . to give yourself the best odds , you should ask on a clear , comfortable day , when she is not too tired or stressed . unfortunately , as uncomfortable as being vulnerable can be , this is the only way you are going to be able to express your feelings for your female friend . but you can take comfort in the fact that everyone at some point feels vulnerable , and use this to your advantage . as an example , you might confess your feelings by saying , this isnt easy for me . im not the best at being vulnerable , and its always been hard for me to put my feelings out there . i dont want things to change between us if you arent comfortable , but lately ive been finding myself wondering about what it would be like if we went out on a date together . especially if the friendship is important to you and you want it to continue even if she isnt interested in dating , its important that you let her know this . you i hope im not making you uncomfortable by saying this , and i want you to know , no matter what happens , nothing will change on my end if you dont want it to . but i cant stop myself from feeling like there might be something more between us , and i have to know if you feel this way , too . this does not mean hire a string quartet and sing out your love in front of her apartment complex . the way you express your feelings will be unique to your relationship . if shes the type that likes grand gestures , maybe the string quartet is the way to go . but remember , you are shifting the nature of your relationship , and thats a big step already . be careful you dont say anything over the top , or jump into things too fast this may only hurt your chances with her . if youre pretty sure she likes you as more than just a friend , too , theres no harm in seeing where things go . if you can help her see you as a romantic interest , its possible love will grow from the friendship - it happens all the time . if she flirts with you sometimes , or says things like i can always be myself with you , and no one else , feel encouraged to open her eyes to your love for her . if she hasnt flirted with you or otherwise shown romantic interest , you can still reveal your feelings to her . while you cant control how shell react , you can be yourself and see if shed consider dating you instead of just being friends . she may like things just the way they are . revealing your feelings is going to be a game changer . if she says she likes you too , the relationship will change if she says shes not that into you , it will also change . worst case scenario , she wont feel as comfortable with you anymore , and she wont feel able to just go back to your normal friendship . respect her feelings and her answer . no matter how much you love her , you cant make her love you back . she doesnt owe that to you . if you really care about her , dont keep trying to win her after shes already turned you down .
