Having a crush can be exciting. Having your crush like you back can be even more exciting. Use body language and conversation to catch your crush's attention and show him that you're interested, and you might just find that he likes you in return.

People can be oblivious. If you’ve tried to show your crush that you like him but he does not seem to be taking a hint, consider telling him about your feelings.

If you don’t know what to do about your crush you can talk to your parents about it. They might have great advice.

Be nice to him. Although giving your crush the cold shoulder (or playing hard to get) can work out sometimes, it can often backfire and can make your crush think you’re mean.

Not looking at your crush when talking with him can make you appear nervous or awkward, or worse, can make it seem like you don’t care about what he is saying.

Smile at your crush. While this might sound obvious, smiling at your crush when you see him is one of the easiest ways to show that you like him.

A lot of the reason people get nervous is because they are scared what the other person will think of them. Just be who you are when you talk to him and try not to care what he thinks of you. If he doesn’t like you for who you are then he is not worth your time.

Feel confident. Make sure to look and feel your best before you talk to him to help with nerves. Showering or bathing and brushing your teeth daily will help you be the best version of yourself you can be.

Practice in the mirror or in front of your friend what you want to say when you approach him. This will help you be less nervous.

If you plan what you want to say beforehand it will help you be less nervous and help prevent you from getting tongue-tied.

Bring your friend with you to talk to him. It can be scary to approach your crush alone so have your friend help you. If you go over and talk to him together it will help you be less nervous and if you forget what to say your friend can help fill in any silence.
