Having a crush on a girl can be really fun but it can also cause some nerves. Trying to let her know you like her can be a challenge, but there are lots of fun ways to do it. If you are looking to build a romantic friendship with a girl but you don't know how to get the ball rolling, here are a few pointers that may help you break the ice.

2

Compliment her on her personality or skills.

7

Be thoughtful and creative on social media.

  1. Catch her attention with your flirty comment or message. Social media is a great way to let her know that you're interested. Instead of just "liking" one of her posts, leave a comment that will let her know you're thinking of her rather than just scrolling by.[7]
    • For example, if she posts a pic of her at a concert, write something like, "I love that band. Let's check them out together soon!"
    • You can also DM her and ask her out with specifics. Maybe say, "Great pic of you at that festival. There is a cool band playing in my neighborhood next week. I'd love to take you on a date!
    • If she doesn't respond after a comment or two, quit posting. You don't want her to feel like you're harassing her.

    It's all about the little flourishes and movements. The smiles, the eye contact, and the tone of your voice. It doesn't need to be super flirty or anything like that. She'll pick up on what you're putting down, just try to play it cool.

    Just ask her lots of questions about herself. People tend to enjoy talking about themselves, and if you take an interest in her hobbies, beliefs, and interests, she'll respond positively to you.

Article SummaryX

To show a girl you like her, smile and make eye contact when you see her. You can also compliment her on her skills, accomplishments, and fashion choice to show you pay attention to her. For example, if she wears her hair differently, say something like, "I love your hair. It really suits you." Once you’re on good speaking terms, try touching her lightly on the arm or shoulder when you laugh at her jokes, which is a subtle way to show that you're into her. If you think she might like you too, ask her on a date or to hang out, which will make it obvious you’re interested in her if she doesn’t know already. For more tips, including how to work out if a girl likes you back, read on!
