Okay, so you like this boy in school you are good friends with him. You are afraid if you ask him out it will ruin your friendship. Here's how to solve that problem...
Steps
-
1Get noticed. If he notices you his in more likely to get talking to you.
-
2Flirt with him. Don't be one of the guys - make sure you stand out. Ask him questions, but make sure not to offend him. Compliment him.
-
3Don't be mean to him. If you are thinking of asking him out, don't make him hate you before you get the chance or he might think you're joking when you ask him, and he certainly won't say yes.
-
4Talk to him. Keep your conversations interesting. Sometimes they can be funny, sometimes they can be more meaningful, but don't get too heavy.
-
5Be relaxed and casual when you approach. Make sure you are not shaky or nervous or the guy will think you are so uncool.
-
6Don't mess him around. If you want to ask him out, do so.
-
7Take him to a private place. He will be more likely to say no to your question if you say it in front of his friends.
-
8Sweet talk. Use phrases such as 'Can I talk to you, please, in . . . private.' or flatter him, 'Your hair looks so handsome' 'Your outfit is really cool', etc. Make sure to be genuine though!
-
9Add a bit of suspense so you create a mysterious atmosphere. Remember to answer all the questions in time.
-
10Ask him out, in a mature way. Don't just blurt out 'will you go out with me?!'.
- If he says no, then oh well, there are plenty more fish in the sea. You might feel sad, but don't let it ruin your friendship; show him there are no hard feelings by hugging him and smiling, and make sure you continue to talk to him.
- If he says yes, don't freak out. This will make him think he is off out with a loony.
-
11Be the same person that you were when he said yes. He is going out with you because he likes you, so don't change drastically, and don't be fake. Never try too hard; you will just seem desperate.
-
12Go out on dates. Be casual and have fun!!
Warnings
- Do not tell your friend. They will only ruin it for you. Tell him nicely not to tell his friends, they would embarrass you.Thanks!
- Don't get someone else to ask for you. Chances are, the boy will say no, because it is immature, and shows that you lack confidence (guys really like confident girls, but don't be overconfident or you will come across as arrogant!). The person who asked might start gossip about you too! That is something you don't want.Thanks!
- Make sure you're honest, don't just ask him out because he is attractive since looks aren't everything.Thanks!
