Part 1 of 5:

Getting to Know Him

1
Get to know the boy you have a crush on. It will help you understand what makes him smile. Talk to the boy you like and figure out some details about his personality. Be careful not to sound as if you are trying to gain information. Instead, try to be interested and join in
2
Find out what he finds funny, again don't sound as if you are looking for something.
- Does he like frat boy humour or does he enjoy a drier wit? This will be easy to discover as you spend more time with him and get to know what his favourite TV shows or movies are. Having a night at his or your house is the perfect way to do this.
- Once you get a feel for his sense of humour, cracking a joke or preparing a witty comeback should be met with a hearty chuckle. Don't do this too often or it will start to look a bit weird. If he likes mean jokes then you can do some but be careful not to hurt other's feelings.

Find out what his passions are and what he likes to do best.
- Nothing lights up a person's eyes more than a conversation about their favourite interests or hobbies. A few of these should get you going!
- Though you may not know much about cars, entering a conversation with him about it and showing a genuine interest in it will surely bring a smile to his face. This is perfect and even if you get bored let him stop the conversation rather than yourself.

If you only want to be friends, don't compliment him too much. Most people think of this as a means of flirting and may get the wrong impression.
