I have a crush, and he likes me, I think! I NEED to not lose him, but I really don't want to make the first move unless it is obvious. How can I drop subtle hints so he can show me he likes me (in case he doesn't want to make the first move as well)? I just really want to know any and all hints I can drop, but I don't want them to be crazy like, "Wow! That shirt looks really good on you." Please Help!!!!

If you want to hint that you like a guy without saying it directly, try flirting through your body language. First, smiling is very important because it shows that you’re engaged and allows the other person to feel at ease. Strong eye contact also shows that you’re present in the moment, and it serves as a signal that you’re flirting. You can also try touching your hair every once in awhile and leaning in toward him when you’re talking. Finally, a quick touch on the leg or arm can be subtly flirty hints, as long as the other person seems comfortable. You don't want to leave your hand there for too long, but if you’re laughing and having a good conversation, don't be afraid to give a little touch here and there.

How do I tell a cute boy I like him without being embarrassed 🙈?!
I really like a boy and I am not sure that he likes me. He is just a little bit taller than me, brown hair and hazel eyes. I wouldn’t say he’s a nerd, but he is very good at school. I’ve liked him for around 4-3 years now.

The thing that made me first like him, (you know, turned me on) was when he had the courage to let me see his story’s. I thought that I was the only one in my class who made up story’s and tried to make them into something real! The best part was when he looked at me smiling and said that he thought he might give writing and drawing a try, turns out he is a fantastic artist and writer. But the fact that he wanted to try something that I shared with him warms my heart. He also told me that he only showed three people sooooo I mean like…

Idk I need help with this he is really cute and I wanna show hints and make him show a few hints

I have a crush on a boy and he likes me too but he's not making a move...
I have a crush on this boy and he likes me too but he's not making a move. I found this out last year when my friend who is a boy asked him if he liked me and he said yes! But since then he hasn't made a move. I'm scared because there's a pick-me girl in my class and I think shes getting to him I don't know what to do....

Help, how do I tell him I like him???
So, we've known each other for three years, and I love being around him! He gives me so much happiness and warmth. But anytime I try to tell him, I chicken out! We've had a lot of romantic moments but both of us are to anxious to say anything. I'm terrified I'll lose the happiness I'll get around him. What do I do?

Got crush for the first time!
So basically there is this guy .... (in my school not same section but in same year) he was vice president of the school (before my exams end) He is kind a popular for sure and tall (lol).

There was a certain situations happen like he came beside me for no reason... and i got rejection to be friend with him (even i tried as someone else tho) .. but then are final exams came... and this whole week. we atleast make three eye contacts in a day... but on the last exam.. the sitting arrangement changed...and my crush kind a look with "glares" (I know i might be being bit too much delusional but still what if he was jealous) We never had convo...but in past class test he asked me for cheating in exam and i denied.. (kind a make bad response that makes him suppress weird smirk) ... so that's the all thing going on... and now i have no idea... that what should i do... cause this last year.. i wanna focus on my study but also last chance to experience school love.. and if... we end up in relationship i do not wanna do long distance... and we don't have same career line too. ( NOW WHAT SHOULD I DO I'M MESS.. and it's my first time to have crush on someone)

Sorry for bad english and big para.

Help, I have a crush on my guy friend!
A new student came to my school six weeks ago. For the first two weeks, I started to talk with him. Afterwards, we started talking more often and he started looking out for me when I get hurt in PE, asking if I'm okay and that. A few weeks ago I realised my feelings for him, and I know this isn't like my former crushes, since I'm so much closer to him than I was with my old crushes, and the main thing I like about him is his kind and caring side for him. I talk with him more than I would with most boys, and I think it's the same with him for girls. We also share a knowing look every time something wild or chaotic happens in class. I don't know what to do!

How do I impress my crush without being cringe?
I (16 f) want to get my crush (17 m) to notice me in a romantic way, but I don’t want to be too cringey or obvious about it. I sort of just want to catch his eye without him realizing I’m even interested, if that makes sense. Sometimes I feel like he looks past me at school, but other times I kind of get the vibe he’s into me. What can I do to impress him (preferably without talking to him, I’m kind of shy)?
