We have all had our crushes where, you are so severely in love with this person that you can barely move or talk when you are around them. Here is how you cope with this, or maybe even get rid of it. I am no expert but I've had my fair share.
1. Smile!
If you can't speak, just give them a big smile, they will hopefully smile back. Smiling is a sign of confidence and friendliness.
2. The simple things
If you ever see them in the hallway, struggling with that heavy stack of books or dropping all of the contents in her purse on the floor, help her out for pete's sake! As just a general rule hold the door for everyone, but definitely go out of your way to help your crush.
4. Words! You big dummy!
Texting alone, if you have their number, is not enough. What is the point of anything if you can't even hold a person to person conversation?
5. Get them alone
Things will probably go down hill very fast you if you don't play your cards right. So eliminate the fear of failure and talk to the girl or guy when their friends can't influence what they say. Sometimes their friends just don't like you and that's just life.
6. Don't fear failure
You have to go into this with a "what's the worst that could happen" mentality. The worst that can happen is they say no. It will hurt like hell, but trust me...plenty of fish in the sea.
7. Be the real you!
Don't try to be some one you aren't, it only comes back to bite you right in the ass. If they don't like you for you then this person is not right for you.
8. Don't try something Lame
Pick up lines do not work at all. Why do you even need it honestly? You can tell a joke, but if you aren't the funny guy, then don't try.
9. Crush Theory
Chances are if your crush doesn't work out for you, there is someone out there that has a gigantic crippling crush on you. Be patient, you will eventually find someone who you find pretty amazing.
10. The Yes
Great! If you got a yes then good for you! Just don't think you are automatically a thing now, I mean unless you guys have been tremendously close, the relationship is still young.
11. It's still early
Honestly, if there is one thing I learned it's that you don't need to find your "true love" in high school. For the most part you don't get married to a high school love. High school is a time of exploration and living life to it's fullest. Find some people you like and enjoy time with them, life is too short to be caught up on one person. By being yourself and having a good time you eventually just come across a person who loves you as much as you should love yourself.
