So there’s a boy in school who’s really fit. You fancy him but you’re not sure he knows you exist. Or maybe there’s one who’s a bit shy….and seems like he’d make a good friend. If they were girls, starting a conversation would be no probs… but they’re not….so you can’t. Well here are a few dos and don’ts to help you break the ice without breaking a sweat.
 
 
Do ask questions. Sometimes when we’re nervous we can tend to ramble on, but this won’t show a guy you’re interested. Boys like to talk about themselves, which is why one of the easiest ways to get to know them is by asking questions. Try asking him about his football team or his favourite band. But don’t ask ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions coz then the conversation is over. Music, TV shows and films are usually a safe bet.

Do laugh. Ever heard the saying ‘Laughter is the best medicine’? Well, it’s true. When you’re happy and laughing, it’s contagious, so don’t be afraid to show off your sense of humour. If making people laugh isn’t one of your strengths, search the Internet for jokes or fun anecdotes you can bring up.

Don’t lie. You don’t want to be so focused on impressing him that you’re tempted to lie. While we all tend to embellish the truth, it’s much better to be open and honest. Lying about who you are will just come back to haunt you later on. Share the parts of your life that are most rewarding…your friends, family, and personal interests. It’s not showing off – it’s sharing!

Do flirt. You don’t have to read a book to know how to. Make eye contact. Flash a smile. You’ll be surprised how you’ll get into it! Flirting is a great way to show someone you’re interested in getting to know them better. Plus, it’s harmless and fun.

Get up your courage and move out of your comfort zone. What’s the worst that can happen? It’s not like rejection ever killed anyone. Just make sure the boy you approach is worthy of you. Keep that in mind.
