As requested by ShopaholicBree, I am here to share a few tips on how to deal with something we all face in our lives: a crush.

♥ Find something you guys have in common, like a certain club, classes or teachers, interests, or a sport.
♥ Think about his interests because no guy/girl wants to talk to a guy/girl who has nothing to talk about.
♥ Pick the right time to talk to him/her. You probably don't want to embarrass him/her. Then, walk up to him/her and start a conversation and be polite.
♥ Be brave and talk with confidence. However, don't overdo it.
♥ Smile. Body language is more important than you may think, and showing that you're approachable and kind can ease the tension!
♥ Always remember to be honest. Honesty is the best policy, and you don't want to begin something with a lie. It never turns out positively.
♥ Know that the worst that can happen is that your crush says no. If you're getting completely negative vibes, the person clearly isn't right for you. It's hard to be rejected but better to know so you can move on.
♥ If you realize after a while that you don't really want to go out with this person, you simply want to be friends, stop the flirting. Just treat them like you would any of your other friends.

Above all, just remember to be you. Never pretend to be someone you aren't just to impress a guy/girl. The right person will fall for the real you, and the real you is an amazing person!
