1. Shake off any self-doubt. Some of the uneasiness people feel about direct eye contact has to do with the fact that the other person is going to look back just as closely' Zap jitters by reminding yourself you're gorgeous inside and out. Nobody except you is focused on that microscopic zit on your chin, and your crush is a lucky guy because you're looking his way. Don't ever forget that!
2. Practice your gaze in the mirror. This way, you can perfect a confident, positive look of interest. Be sure to smile, too! Rehearsing also helps you avoid lovey-dovey doe eyes. Hold eye contact with your reflection for a full minute if you can. This will get you comfy keeping your eyes on your crush when the two of you finally chat. Don't stare, glaze over or forget to blink!
3. Be way casual. Don't fix your eyes on the guy from a distance like a tiger hunting down dinner on the Discovery Channel. Pretend you just noticed him right before you reach him, then catch his gaze and flash a smile as you pass. Check out his reaction: Does he hold your gaze and smile back? If so, good. Repeat this process a couple times, until one of you is bold enough to strike up a conversation.
MAD SKILLS. Impress your boy from afar with your incredible talents. You can do this so undercover, it'll look effortless! Say he's the one coordinating your school's charity concert. You know he's into punk...but bet he doesn't know you're a totally skilled drummer.
Volunteer your band for the show, and be sure to tear up the skins with a drum solo. He should be totally impressed with your music finesse, and now that he knows you're tuned in to the music scene, it'll give you guys something to talk about.
SENDIN' OUT AN SOS. Does the dude you dig rock American history class, while you can't even remember if Benjamin Franklin invented IPods or what? If so, ask him for homework help. You'll score a few private moments in the public library--just you and him. What an excellent opp!
Some rules to remember: Don't make your study sessions all about doing that eye-contact thing--actually pay attention to your books as your crush explains stuff to you. If you don't, he could think you're totally wasting his time. Also, don't fake that you're lost in a subject if you're really pulling down A's. Only hit him up for the tutoring if you really need it. Otherwise, you'd be over-playing him.
THE MESSAGE MILL. We don't need to tell you that having your BFF chain email the entire freshman class about your crush would be a huge honking disaster--so don't even think about it! Instead, spread a compliment about your dream dude.
Let's say Jason's in all-state chorus and performed an amazing solo at the assembly. Afterward, in a voice loud enough for him to hear (but not loud enough to be obvious), say, "You know who's the best singer in the whole school? Jason! His solo was so awesome!" Your girls can help you out by saying, "Oh, he's standing right behind you!" You can then turn around, seeming oh-so surprised, and say, "Wow, I didn't even see you standing there!"
GO, TEAM! Cheering on his excellent free-throw percentage is always a winning plan. Be careful, though: Don't act even remotely Swimfan. Never attend his games by yourself--it'll look weird. Just go with your crew, have a great time and, afterward, very casually pass him by--once--smile, and say, "Hey, that no-look pass you made was impressive!" A genuine pat on the back for a job well done scores major points.
SAFETY IN NUMBERS. Does your crush travel on the outskirts of your friendship circle? Use group activities to your advantage. In addition to bowling nights and mall trips, suggest your group throw a bash for your bud who has a birthday coming up.

weard age.... I am also of 14 and have went through all this. I think that this is a true love. He is after u for over 2 n 1/2 years. A long time indeed. If it was'nt a true love he would have thrown u to hell within 6 months as he would have got too bored. u say that ur heart too beats faster which shows that u grow afraid rather curious on meeting him that what is he going to say now. I say that this is a great guy who can keep u very happy. Now what r u waiting 4, go n accept it......

a good sense of humor and being able to carry a good convo. flirting with boys is always a good way to show them that you are comfortable with them. guys sometimes have a trouble talking to girls so if you talk back and respond accordingly then you will have a lot of guys wanting you

Girls aren't supposed to try to impress guys, it's the other way around. Flirt with guys, just little flirts, even if you don't like them you'd prolly have fun just seeing their reactions. It usually doesnt seem to take girls long to learn to flirt, so once u learn to flirt good flirt with guys u like. My last girlfriend got me to go out with me by flirting a bit, hitting me lightly, etc.

different boys like different things in girls. Be nice, be friendly, oh, and looking prettys always a bonus! Do your best, you'll meet someone.

They like their smartness, their natural beauty, and for their personality. If you find out one boy does not like you for who you are, never change yourself, because you will be living a big lie.
