Email is a great way to get in touch with your significant other. Do you have your crush's email address, but you're too shy to email them, or you don't know what to say? Here are some pointers that may help.

Steps

  1. 1
    Start with your subject. Make it cute-first impressions do count! Try not to do anything boring such as "hi". Something cute or enthusiastic "Hey, what's up?" is better.
  2. 2
    Don't drone about yourself. That's the boy's job. Most boys will do enough bragging or whining about their lives for both of you. They do seem to enjoy it, somehow, so try to encourage it. For example, if they play basketball, say, "Hey, I really liked that three-pointer you made last night." or something like that. Don't make it all about them, however. That just gets them started, and it gets really annoying.

    Don't be shy. It's okay to act flirty, most boys like it. Say, "I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!" rather than "See you tomorrow." Go for the gusto.
  4. 4
    Connect it with yourself. After you ask them a question or compliment about sports, or whatever hobby they have, connect it with yourself. For example: "I really liked that three-pointer you made the other day. By the way, I've got a baseball game next Saturday, at Example Park. You can come if you want--it's at 4:30."
  5. 5
    Close off with a cute signature: "Byeeeee!" "Can't wait to see ya tomorrow!"
  6. 6
    Send off and wait for the results!

  • Question
    What if he doesn't know I like him? What if he doesn't like me back?
    Community Answer

    Something that always helps me with this is imagining them as my friend. You're not emailing him as a crush or potential girlfriend, you're emailing him as a friend! Write an email to your best friend, adjust it to make the email fit him, then send it to your crush.
  • Question
    What do I do if I laugh at my crush's jokes too much?
    Community Answer

    You need to act more calm and natural in general around your crush. If you're laughing too much, that means you're nervous. Just be yourself and react normally. Pretend like you're just talking to a friend.
  • Question
    How do I get a boy to notice me?

    Talk to them. Start a conversation, because if you are too shy, they will never notice you.
