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....

The guy you're into may not be making the first move because he’s scared that you’re going to say no, or he may simply be unsure about how you ask someone out in the first place if he has never had a serious relationship. So, we recommend just going for it and asking him if we wants to go on a date. He'll probably be really impressed that you had to guts to ask him out, and if he likes you, there's no reason why he wouldn't say yes.

If you don’t want to ask this boy out (which is totally okay!), consider asking him if he wants to hang out together in a non-romantic way. A lot of relationships start off as strong friendships, and the more time you have to get to know one another better, the more likely it will be that something romantic does happen. Just take it slow and enjoy hanging out!

It depends on how well you know them, but I think it's always good to just start off friendly and casual and start just chatting with them. You can make some comment about whatever situation that you're in. If you're both, say, at gym or something, you can make a comment about whatever the setting is that you're in or you can make a comment about the weather. It could be something to strike up a conversation or maybe you're making an observation about something around you or about them. The best thing is to make a joke, but if it's somebody that you actually do know, oftentimes, it's best to just be confident and be direct, and say “Hey, I'd like to get to know you better. Let's get together. Give me your number and let's plan a time to get together". Doing this shows that you're confident and just being direct and going for it.

Men LOVE it when a girl makes the first move if they’re interested in them romantically. If you still aren’t sure he likes you, try to give him a light touch (like brushing his hair, or rubbing against him in the hallway) or a smile to see if he reciprocates. Any kind of flirting in general will push him to make a move. If he doesn’t give you eye contact or he leans away when you touch him, he probably isn’t interested. If he reciprocates though, you’re clear to go for it!

Should I ask out my crush? Should I get to know him better first?
I've been in denial a little bit about liking a guy but this quiz helped me realize that I actually like him a lot! The thing is, we don't know each other super well. Should I just shoot my shot and ask him out or get to know him better first? How do I get closer to him and how do I ask him out?

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

How can I drop subtle hints so he can show me he likes me
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!!!!

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?

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!
