We have all been there. The never ending cycle of having a crush. And in case there is someone out there who has never had one, please allow Tina Belcher to explain it all.

1. All of a sudden you see a gorgeous human being across the way and you know you have to initiate contact.

First things first, do your best to stand out from the crowd. Winking is acceptable, but don't go overboard, it can get a little creepy.

Be confident in yourself! People can smell confidence like animals. We are generally attracted to overly-confident people. You got this!

2. Introduce yourself.

Most people fail miserably in the first step, so if they are making their way towards you, congratulations, you have done better than 95% of your peers. Wipe those clammy hands off and fix your glasses because now's the time to really impress. Talking to your crush is like going into a job interview. Make yourself look super interesting (even if you have to stretch the truth a little bit).

3. Get their number.

Now if you've made it this far, it is quite possible you have just met your soulmate. Your chances are even better if he asks you on a date.

4. Your heart gets broken.

This step can come sooner (usually after Step 1 ) but it is only avoidable by the ultra-lucky few. You start to question your ability to ever find someone who can put up with your constant moodiness and love for food and musicals. It is acceptable to lay on the floor and eat a tub of ice cream.

5. You realize you are too good for those haters.

After a month of mourning, it is time to dust off those Cheetos crumbs, brush those knots out of your hair, and throw away the mountain tissues. Who better to understand you and love you, than yourself. Treat yourself to some new shoes, clothes and take a bomb selfie. Haters are gonna hate, but don't let their negativity in your life.
