8 Easiest Ways To Initiate A Conversation With Your Crush

Learning how to talk to your crush and professing your love to them is actually the easy part. Building the foundation perfectly to ensure that your crush is actually just as crazy about you as you are about them, well, that’s the tricky part.

If you follow these steps, you’ll surely be able to talk to your crush and make them like you back in no time. But for it to be really effective 100% of the time, you need to make sure your crush notices you and gets interested in you first, in all the right ways.

Talking to your crush is easy if you think about it. But the right foundation to make sure they’re eager to talk to you already, that’s the first step you need to take!

Use these 8 ways to initiate a conversation with your crush. You can use just one of these tips, or use many of them. As long as you don’t make it obvious that you’re faking a meet-cute, it’s all perfect for you!

# Ask for help

The easiest way to chat up a crush is by asking them for help. If you notice your crush standing nearby, pretend like you’re looking for something, a book or a particular person. Look around dramatically and impatiently, and pretend like you’re almost panicking because you’re already late for something.

And all of a sudden, lock eyes with your crush, and ask them a question, “hey… did you notice a book lying around here?” or “I’m sorry, but did you see a girl walk past here just now?”

Once your crush answers your question, continue to look around for a few more seconds, and exchange a fleeting glance, nod or smile and walk away like you’re flustered and busy.

Don’t start a conversation here, or it’ll appear like you were just faking it to chat them up. There’s always a next time to talk to your crush for longer.

# Drop something

If you’re walking in front of your crush or walking past them, *accidentally* drop something of little value like a pen or a piece of paper.

As long as your crush sees it fall, they’d definitely use the excuse to strike a conversation with you. And even if your crush doesn’t notice it falling, you have nothing to lose.

# Use social media

This is so easy it doesn’t make sense why people don’t use this more often! Comment on something your crush comments on. Don’t reply directly to their comment or that just makes it obvious you’re trying to catch their attention.

You don’t need to answer your crush directly, just be seen by them online. As long as you have mutual friends and you’ve caught their eye already, your crush WILL snoop your social media account and try to get to know more about you.

You need to remember that the secret behind getting a crush to like you is to make them believe they’re the ones who are more curious about you! Do this right, and when you do start talking to your crush, they’d be more than eager to keep the conversation going with you!

# Smile while walking past your crush

When you’re walking past your crush and their friends aren’t around, just smile fleetingly or say hi to your crush. Don’t stop and chat though, just smile happily or say hello warmly and confidently, and just continue walking past them. It’s awkward that very instant, but it works like a charm!

Just remember not to slow down as you walk past them, turn around, or worse, stop and stare. That would just make you look super-eager and you’d probably kill your winning streak instantly.

As long as you’ve built the chemistry up in the earlier stages, your crush would be waiting to talk to you the very next time both of you bump into each other.

# Get friendly with your crush’s friends

Do both of you share any common friends? Try to get to know them better. Don’t tell this friend about your crush. Instead, just try to strike up a conversation with the friend now and then. It’s a great way to get to know your crush without approaching them directly.

# Use your friends

If you’re hanging out with your friends and your crush walks past you or sits down somewhere near you, use your friends to get the message across. Let them know you have a crush on this person.

When they tease you or constantly stare at your crush, it would embarrass your crush because they’d start to realize there’s some funny business in the air.

# Bumping into each other

If you bump into your crush, accidentally or otherwise, don’t be shy. Instead of walking away or looking the other way, smile, wave or say hello. Both of you have been exchanging glances for far too long to miss out on an opportunity like this! And if you do end up getting into a conversation, keep the conversation short the first time around.

# Follow them on social media or send a friend request

If both of you have been exchanging flirty glances on the streets and commenting on the same social media posts, that’s enough of an excuse to get friendly online. After all, texting does take a huge load of pressure off face to face conversations.
