How to Act Normal Around Your Crush

Sometimes it's hard to act like yourself around your crush! 
If you want to know how, well read this article!


1. Be fun! If you act stiff or harsh and he/she has feelings for you,
    he/she may reconsider them.


2. Don't claim all the attention for yourself. If you want to, talk to
    him and ask about his life. Let him ask about yours and just relax.


3. Forget yourself when in conversation with him. Just listen to what
    he says, let it soak in, and feel his emotions by mirroring his
    facial expressions. But let him finish what he's saying before you
    ask questions. Nobody likes an interrupter. Look also into his/her
    eyes deeply for him/her to appreciate how sincere you are in
    listening to him/her. Remember that understanding is quite
    significant.

4. Be friends with his friends. Talk to them like a buddy. They'll
    remember you as a 'cool chick' and they'll speak highly of you to
    your crush. No flirting though! You don't want them to think you're
    easy or develop a crush on you!

5. Another tip to help a conversation go along smoothly is to say:
    "mhmm" and "yeah". Try to be agreeable when you can. This will make
    him want to continue talking to you. And it's an ego boost too;
    he'll be happy that you're interested.

6. Make sure to be genuinely interested in what he's saying. It's not
    hard to spot a phony. Just think about what he's telling you, and
    forget you're even there. Let your mind do the work for you.


7. Don't obsess. If your friends always hear how you think he's the
    best thing in the world, they could let it slip. Think of him as a
    friend, and he'll like you.


8. If you were friends with him first and you're just developing
    feelings for him, don't spring it on him suddenly because he might
    not be experiencing the same emotions for you, yet. Just play it
    cool and flirt a little.

9. Don't be afraid to be yourself with a pinch of wild.(This is for
    popular, brave, and pretty chicks like my self) Don't be afraid to
    call a little attention on yourself. Boys like outgoing slightly
    wild chicks but know when enough is enough. Don't go over the top,
    remember most guys'll be scared when a crazed girl is running at
    them. But don't be afraid to be yourself! HONESTY is the best
    policy.



TIPS

* If you practice (or learn how to practice) making friends or groups
   of friends, in general, this will help you in the crush department
   as well. Learning from both types of relationships feed on each
   other.

* Make sure you're building things in your life and learning to do
   things to make you more competent.

* Pay attention to what other people are saying about your crush. You
   won't have to agree with what they say, but keep an open ear.

* Trying to act "cool" and "mysterious" normally backfires and makes
   you look like a jerk or a weirdo, depending on how hard you tried.

* Talk to his friends too, they're just people. Ask them about
   themselves and be their friend. They'll remember you and think
   you're cool, and they'll probly tell your crush how cool you are.
   Just don't flirt with them, if you want to have a thing with your
   crush. :)

* Don't forget to breathe! Talking to your crush might make you a
   little jittery but you'll be less to stutter and make it obvious
   that you like him.

WARNING

* Never flirt excessively, most boys find this unattractive.

* It's okay to stare at him inconspicuously, but if he starts to turn
   his head toward you, look away (But not too quickly, or he will get
   suspicious).

* If you remain too distanced for too long, your chances at having a
   more-than-friends relationship with your crush will diminish.

* Avoid an overactive imagination about a crush (yeah, this stinks,
   but trust me, I know)...fill your time with (at least several) other
   things along the way. Being careful not to let a crush become the
   biggest thing in the world is important. Not only will it possibly
   affect the other parts of your life, it might also cause you to
   overly embarrass yourself in front of your crush.

* (Learn to) Live life well--this will be more important than (or the
   bigger picture for) finding the perfect mate. If you prepare to BE a
   more perfect mate and friend, you'll probably also find a more
   person(s) and a mate to spend time or a life-time with
   (though don't be afraid to have "less perfect" people in your life
   either--you'll be surprised). Every challenge (including crushes)
   you meet along the way is an opportunity to grow wiser and build
   towards a more exciting future and life.

* Don't worry that you can never be perfect (none of us can) for that
   perfect person (they won't be)...but you can get close if you dig
   deep! (Then on the other hand...they'll have to strive for it if
   they want to achieve...and it might not be your idea of perfect, but
   look for the most compatible you can.) It's the idea of it that
   helps make the journey along the way so much better. So relax...
