You could say, “Hey! Did you write down the homework for English today? I forgot to!” or “Hi Tyler, your science project looked awesome!”
Asking questions is a good way to show your crush that you’re interested in what they have to say. You might ask, “Are you feeling better?” if your crush has been sick, or “What did you think of the field trip today?” if you went on a class trip.
For example, pick out a meme of Joey from “Friends” with the caption, “how you doin?” or a simple meme of a cute sea animal saying hi. Funny memes are also a great way to show your creative side.
For example, you might tag them in the comment section of a funny video so they’ll get to watch it, saying, “This totally reminded me of you!” or something similar. Talking to your crush through social media while also texting them is okay.
Count to three if you notice yourself hesitating to talk to your crush. Once you get to three, go right up to them!
For example, if you see your crush as you’re walking to your seat, say, “Hey, Adam!” with a smile and keep walking. Speak loudly and clear enough so that your crush hears you. Not only does making eye contact make you look more confident, but it also helps spark a connection between the two of you.
Avoid going up to them if they’re talking on the phone.
If you just want to say a quick, “Hi, how are you?” instead of a longer conversation, it’s okay to talk to them when they’re around others. You might say something like, “Hi Jack, I wanted to ask you how your soccer game went last weekend! Did you guys win?”
After talking about interesting books, you might say, “What’s your phone number? I’ll text you the names of a few other books I think you might like. ”
For a more direct compliment, you might say, “That shirt looks great on you!” Other compliments might be, “You have a great singing voice!” or “I really like the stickers on your laptop!”
Ask about a friend you both have in common or a show you both watch. You might say, “We have that history test coming up, how are you going to study for it?” or “Are you going to Sam’s birthday party this weekend?”
For example, say, “Did you hear about the fundraiser happening this weekend? It sounds like fun!” or “I’m playing in the basketball game tomorrow, you should come!”
Ask something like, “What did you do over the weekend?” or “I’m out of Netflix shows, what’re you currently watching?” Avoid questions that lead to yes or no answers to keep the conversation going.
For example, you might say, “The buttons on your backpack are cool, where did you get each of them?” or “It looks like they’re playing frisbee outside! Have you ever played?”
If they respond with “Good” and don’t say anything else, you might send an emoji of a smiley face. If they respond to the emoji, great! If they don’t, try texting them the next day.
