It's not always about your love life, you know. Sometimes it's about what you can do for your friend's love life too!
If you’ve got a friend who needs a bit of a boost in the love stakes, here’s a few tips to help her on the road to true love!
1. Make her feel good about herself
If your friend’s a bit shy or panicking about her difficult hair or lack of clothes to wear (even when she’s got a bulging wardrobe) it’s time for you to act! Invite her over or better still head over to hers and give her a confidence-boosting girly night. Try out new make up, put together drop-dead gorge new outfits, do each other’s hair. Tell her how great, smart and funny she is and generally restore her failing confidence. If she feels good about herself, she’ll relax in front of her crush. Who knows what may happen next?!
2. Get out more
A sure-fire way of raising your friend’s profile and getting her cutie to notice is by making sure she’s seen everywhere. That means getting her out doing all kinds of sports and activities – from cycling to skating, dancing, drama, art classes, friends’ parties, even picnics in the park. She’ll become the name on everyone’s lips and her crush will be intrigued. As long as she’s not just doing things to impress him, she’ll look like a girl who is comfortable just doing her own thing and having fun. And if it doesn’t work out with her crush, there’s sure to be another hottie in her newfound social whirl. Job done!
3. Throw a party
This one’s a bit sneaky but worth it when it works. If you’re feeling sociable and can find a good enough reason - other than getting your friend’s crush around - organize a bash and invite him. Of course don’t tell her he’s coming beforehand or she’ll get over-excited/anxious and the whole evening will be ruined for her before it begins. Make it as big or as small as you want, and if she keeps asking you about who is coming, be vague as far as her crush is concerned – you could even say that you think he may be away or doing something else on that night if she asks about him. Then she’ll be more relaxed if he does turn up.
4. Talk to him
This may seem a bit obvious, but finding a good reason for your friend to talk to her crush is a great way to get them together. The only rule is – don’t talk to him about dating! Do a bit of research and find out what he’s into then get your friend talking to him about it. She could ask his advice; say for a birthday present for her bro. Or she could ask him about something they have in common (maybe they both like the same band – or are both in a band). She needs to get the tone right, or it might seem a bit weird but if it works, it‘s a great icebreaker.
