10 Smart Ways to Get Your Crush Notice You

start of friendship

Has someone caught your eyes lately? Do you get insomnia thinking about that person all night and spend the whole day daydreaming about your first date? You probably can’t focus at school or work because that person keeps on popping up in your mind. The problem is, you’re not sure if all these distractions are worth it since that person may not feel the same towards you.

Falling for someone could cause you headaches—not just heartaches—especially if your crush doesn’t even know you exist. You feel butterflies in your stomach whenever your paths cross, but s/he doesn’t even throw you a single glance. So frustrating and disheartening, right?

Instead of waiting for nothing, why not try to find out if there could be a chance for your crush to like you. However, I’m not saying you confess your feelings or make it obvious to that person because it might cause him/her to repel you instead. Hmm.. maybe you could help him/her a bit to notice you.

10 Ways to Get Your Crush Notice You

Here are 10 smart ways to do it:

1. Be a head-turner.

Physical appearance is not everything to look at when you like someone. However, you and I know that it’s the first thing that catches humans’ attention. That’s why, if you want your crush to notice you, being physically attractive can be the first step.

You don’t need to wear sexy clothes, bulky accessories, a lot of makeup (for girls), and expensive shoes. Simplicity makes a good impression, so don’t overdo it. What you need to do is put your best foot forward by being presentable, neat, and accentuating your assets.

An example could be letting your hair down if you got that long, beautiful hair (for girls). Wearing red is also attractive, especially if you’re fair-skinned.

2. Smell irresistible.

You don’t have to look like Zac Efron or Elle Fanning to be attractive. Your scent can play a big role in capturing the attention of your crush. Wear your favorite perfume or cologne so you will smell fresh and clean.

However, make sure that your cologne or perfume’s scent is not too strong because it can annoy the people around you, including the person you like.

3. Always wear a smile.

In this world full of stress and pressures, a bright disposition can be an attractive asset. People are drawn to those who have a positive outlook in life despite negative circumstances—and the best way to show that is through a constant smile.

Whenever you are down and then someone smiles at you, you feel better, right? And you get that grateful feeling towards that person. So, who knows? Smiling at your crush might actually help him/her develop that friendly feeling for you—that’s a good start.

4. Excel at something to impress.

Physical attractiveness is not everything. There should be something more about you than meets the eye. Therefore, find out what you are good at and strive to excel at it. This will make a good impression of how interesting you are as a person.

For instance, if you are good at painting, why not join or have your own exhibit? Or if you play instruments, you can be part of a band or perform in events. You can also attend workshops that can help you enhance your talents or skills.

5. Be friends with him/her.

Friendship is the best foundation for a good relationship. Therefore, if you wish to end up with your crush, do yourself a favor by making friends with that person. This will not only help you get noticed, but you will also have a good chance of knowing him/her in a better way.

To be friends with your crush, you should have the guts to say “hello”, offer some help if needed, or be part of the same group or organization. Act naturally as much as possible to avoid being obvious.

6. Find out his/her interests.

If you want to start a smart conversation with your crush, you need to find out what s/he is into. You might even discover that you have the same interests. When you talk about something you have in common, it creates connection and interest in each other.

This will also help you avoid topics that s/he does not like. Talking about this stuff will bore them, and it will create an impression that you are a boring companion.

7. Show sincere concern and interest in the person.

If you want your crush to be interested in you, you need to show that you have a genuine care for him/her as well. When s/he talks, listen intently and give appropriate reactions. Asking questions about what s/he talks about gives the impression that you are really interested.

When talking to each other, put your cellphone in your bag or pocket to avoid distraction. Ensure your eyes do not wander around but maintain eye contact with him/her for undivided attention.

8. Give praises and appreciation.

Be generous in giving appreciation to your crush. Appreciate him/her even in small things. This will make the person feel that s/he has value. In return, s/he will feel appreciative and thankful towards you as well.

Say good remarks on how your crush looks (but please don’t overemphasize it, for you will be obvious). Thank him or her for little things as well.

9. Play mysterious.

Don’t throw yourself at his/her feet. Don’t share anything about yourself unless s/he asks you to. Divulging everything about you will remove the thrill of the getting-to-know stage, and s/he might think you’re too eager to disclose yourself to him/her.

Also, avoid posting too personal thoughts and feelings on social media. Your crush and everyone else would think your life is an open book.

10. Don’t show you’re head-over-heels.

It is a turn-off for most people when they find out that someone likes them so much—especially if that person does stupid stuff already just to get noticed. Once the person you like finds out you got a big crush on him/her, s/he might lose respect for you.

For this reason, keep your cool, especially if you are a lady, because guys don’t like easy-to-get girls. So, be careful with your actions.

Caution

If you’re still a student, though, I suggest you focus on your studies first. Having a crush can be fun and may even inspire you to do better at school. However, if you take it too seriously, you might only get hurt, and it will affect your grades and performance. That would be awful.

Hello! Please give me some advice for my case. I know this boy who is only in my vocal class and is two years older than me. I like or love him, but the first time I actually talked to him after I liked him, I asked a lots of kind of personal questions that I really, really, and I mean really regret asking those. He did answer me though, it’s just that when I talked to him again, the look on his face was kind of or pretty much serious. I’m not sure if he like me or dislikes me, or is it because maybe just maybe he got a bad mark on his theory test??! I mean when I preformed my solo before all of this (of me asking him infinity questions that may be a bit too ridiculous) he gave me two thumbs up. I am so annoyed at myself, and really depressed. What should I do now??! I’m kinda shy-ish to talk to him in front of our class because I didn’t want anyone to think that I like him, so I only talked to him after the class bell. I think I maybe should start saying hi and smiling at him when I see him. I so regret all of the kinda stupid things that I did that I could just die right here seeing him again. (Maybe!) So, I am wondering if I should talk to him again, like should I keep trying??! Or should I just stop??! Please reply as soon as possible! Thank you very much!!

I have a crush and he is in my advisory. He has a heart full of spirt. He knows I exist, but we aren’t even exactly friends. Well, from is POV (assuming…) I try to talk to him at study hall, and he talks back, but I’m not sure if it would work out, especially with my parents. He doesn’t have the best, reputation. (Threw pie at 2020 graduates, breaks school rules *a tad bit*) But something is that and he dedicates his life to sports. I love soccer, and so does he. He also plays base ball. He loves video games, and so do I. I knew him for about since we were in elementary, and he knew me, but he didn’t pay much attention to me.

I think you are wrong about the ugly part. You see you are just perfect being you. But maybe you should talk to him??! I don’t really know, because I’m struggling to get my crush to like me, but the thing is that I might have asked too many questions and I kinda blew it. Just maybe! Whatever! Be confident in you.

I’m falling for someone as well, and she know I exist, but I just want her to know that I am more interested in having a more personal relationship, rather than being just friends, and I’m just really sad because I have supported her in all her previous boyfriend’s, and no she is not a hoe🤣 she’s only had 2. But anyway it’s been 3 years and I have done so much for her and we are real good friends, but I just want it to be more. And it makes me really sad to see her every day at school knowing that, “yeah, I’ll see her at lunch and all” but I won’t get any closer to being something more to her. So I just have to tell somebody, and I was desperate to do something to interest her, and I hope I can. She is literally the most perfect girl I have ever met ❤️ She is perfect in every way possible…not to be creepy, but I will always be there for her as just her guy friend 😭

You should totally go for him I mean if you have known him for a period of time, just saying. And also if he’s older than you try not to let him think that you are too desperate, then he will think that you are just an annoying little girl, or just too young for him. Trust me, I’ve been through the exact same thing. Good Luck!

So sad, because I only knew him for almost two months which is pretty annoying. I suck so much that I think he might think that I am a play girl or a type of easy to get. I’m just really mad at myself. So stuck on the spot, without know if he likes me or not!

It is best to not attempt to get a teacher’s attention. If they do give you that type of attention, run away and tell a trusted adult.
It is better to focus on school and crush on people that are around your age.
