Make him notice you
Let him know you exist by speaking up in class, doing something special with your hair or making sure he sees you having a laugh with your friends. That way he’ll know that you are clever, gorgeous and popular.

Have a chat
Find a way to start talking to him. Ask him a question about something you know he’s interested in, or advice on a present for your bro, something relevant so you don’t look silly. Once you’re chatting, laugh at his jokes and ask him questions about himself. Boys get an ego boost if we find them interesting and hilarious. Find out if you both like the same TV show, sport, band or book. A common interest is a good start.

Play hard to get
Stand out from all the girls clamouring for his attention by being a teeny bit unavailable. Flirt with other boys. Don’t always be in the same place at the same time. If you are hanging round in a group together make sure you leave before him. He’ll wonder where you are and wish you were with him.

Be positive
When you’re chatting about school, don’t moan or bitch about the others. He’ll associate you with being on a downer. Be upbeat and fun. The positive vibes will rub off on him. If he feels happy when he’s with you, he’ll fall for you in no time.

Nearly there!
Now you’re ready to ask him out - if he hasn’t already asked you that is! Wear something you feel confident and remember that you have nothing to be nervous about. Get chatting with him - it’ll help you be a bit more relaxed - even though you probably have butterflies inside. You could suggest doing something you both like doing, or going to see a band he likes. Of course he’ll say yes and you’ll be moving in for your first kiss in no time. Job done!
