Casually show up to your crush’s workplace if it is somewhere the general public goes. Attend sporting events or club meetings that your crush is a part of. Hang out with mutual friends and attend social gatherings where you’ll see the person you like.
When the person you like catches you glancing, lock eyes for a moment and then look away to smile to yourself. Wait a few minutes and then repeat the glances towards the person. If you notice your crush looking at you while you are looking away, turn and lock eyes for a few seconds and smile.
Ask for tips or advice on beginning a new hobby. Talk about current scores or events related to favorite teams.
Stand with your body at an angle rather than head-on. Leave your arms down or with one hand on your hip. Avoid crossing your arms because it sends a message of being closed off. Use your hand to play with your hair or run your fingers through your hair. Touch your crush’s arm or shoulder gently while you’re talking. Brush up against the person you like and then lock eyes as you politely apologize.
Compliment your crush when you’re talking. Smile genuinely and laugh at the jokes your crush tells. Get the person to talk about life by asking questions, and then validate the person by saying things like “That’s awesome” and “Wow, that sounds hard, but I bet you’re great at it”. Talk about topics that are attractive or interesting to the person you like.
Be brave and tell them how you feel, but do it in a way that could also be interpreted as a kind of playful flirtation. [10] X Expert Source Alysha Jeney, MA, LMFTLicensed Relationship Therapist Expert Interview. 11 August 2021.
