How To Tell a Boy You Like Him @ Girl-Doll Fashion Gossip

Who doesn’t love the feeling of romance in the air? But often the romance seems to be one sided and it’s time to shape up and let him know you care if you haven’t figured out how to do so already. And while you’re at it, why not be creative about your big message?

DO send a note. A quick note can be silly, serious or fun. It’s a bit old fashioned, but that’s part of the charm. Write down a little something and casually drop it on his binder as you walk by or put it in his locker. Just get the memo out and get out of there to cool down again.

DO message him. A message on Facebook or a quick text can be all it takes to get the party started where the two of you are concerned. You can easily start a conversation by sending something about class or a random question “a friend” of yours has. (Hey! I forgot to write down the pages to read tonight – do you know what they are?) Simple, innocent if he’s not interested and enough to get going if he is.

DON’T tweet him. This goes for posting on a wall as well. Things you write on Twitter or Facebook are public and that means the whole world can see you flirting with him. This might be fun if you’re into public displays of affection, but be prepared for the whole world to see his non-affection if it turns out he’s just not that into you.

DO talk to his friends. Boys may be a bit obtuse, but they can clue into some of the romantic signals you might be sending out. Ask his buddies if they know where he is – you have his pencil and need to return it, etc. Then, they will probably (hopefully) relay the message that you’re looking for him and romance is off and running!

DO make eye contact. Look at him from time to time if you’re in the library or a class together. Don’t stare at him like a creeper, but keep an eye on him. If he looks at you, which he should, or even if he just looks your way, make eye contact with him. It will be hard, but keep that eye contact and then smile deliberately at him. If you’re feeling bold, you can even wink at him. That’s probably all the invitation he’ll need.

DO invite him on a group thing. Going to a party this weekend? Invite him to tag along with all of his buddies – so long as it’s appropriate, of course. Suddenly you have eight people at the movies or you’re meeting up with his group at Starbucks later. It’s the perfect chance to chat and actually get to know each other surrounded by safe friends.

DON’T send your friends. If you’re going to tell a guy you like him, you should woman-up enough to make the first move yourself. Even a smile is enough probably. Don’t pull a junior high move and send over your best friend to tell him you like him. For a lot of guys this puts them on the spot and makes them uncomfortable. Plus it makes the whole thing feel rather silly.
