The ultimate guide to boys - Crushes: sometimes bliss, sometimes torture

Crushes… we’ve all been there. Some of us are still there.
A crush can range from “He’s so cute. I really like him” to “I want to keep him in my room forever. I want him. He’s mine!”
Crushes are super normal and if I ever see someone who says they’ve never had a crush in their life, I’m running for the hills. Crushes are a way of telling you that you’re human and not made of ice.
😘How do you tell a crush you like him?😘
This requires a lot of courage. Trust me, I know. A year ago, I tried to tell my crush that I liked him face to face and I ended up stumbling on my words and running out of the class in shame. Oh, the horror! I still cringe up when I think about it.
If you really want to tell your item of affection how you feel and you’re sure you have the balls to do it, then go right ahead! You only live once. Life is too short for you to bury emotions.
But what if you’re chicken? What if you’d rather hide underground forever than tell your crush face-to-face? Well, Honey, that’s what the internet is for.
Do some spy work. Find a way to get his phone number or his Facebook Messenger handle or something like that. Text him. Go something in the line of;
💋💋💋
“Hey. It’s (insert name) from (insert location or situation you both share). I know you’re pretty spooked as to how I got your number (I’d be kind of spooked too). I asked someone who knew someone who knew someone who knew someone who knew someone (it goes on forever) who knew you. Anyway, I actually went into Kim Possible mode because I wanted to tell you that I like you. A lot. Sounds pretty forward, huh? Probably is. Just wanted to let you know. I also wanted to ask if you were maybe, possibly, probably… single. And ready to mingle? Or something?
I just looked back at what I typed above and I cannot believe anything I just texted. Excuse me while I go cringe awkwardly alone. Bye

You are free to edit this ridiculous template to your liking but I’m pretty sure this is something I would say.
What happens when you can’t get his number or something? What happens when you’re pretty sure he’s going to be freaked at getting your text out of nowhere?
No one wants their crush to call 911 on them. So do something that is less likely to be frowned upon and has been around since the dawn of time. Write him a letter.
Forget that shit that people say about love letters being out-dated or whatever. They are timeless, adorable and hold a lot more sincerity because they’re hand written.
You don’t necessarily have to go “Romeo oh Romeo. You are the light of my life!” or “Let’s get married and grow old and die together”. In fact, if I was a guy and someone sent a letter with things like that in it to me, I’d be hiring bodyguards for myself immediately.
Keep it cool. State how you feel and what you want in the simplest of ways (boys like simplicity). No need for elaborate sentences and analogies. Let your letter go something in the lines of;
🌌🌌🌌
Dear (insert his name)
I know, love letters are pretty old-school and all but it’s really the only way I can clearly state how I feel without being creepy. Unless you want me to go stalk your Facebook account… you probably wouldn’t want that.
The thing is, I like you. A lot.
I like how you (draw, sing, play football, etc.). I think you’re a really great (artist, musician, player, etc.). I liked your (argument in English class, presentation in science class, pep talk before the game, etc.)
I also really like your (blue, green, brown, black, etc.) eyes and I really like the way you smile. Basically, what I’m saying is I think you’re cute. Really cute.
I like how (you stood up to Talia when she was picking on Rose, protected Mark from the bully, prevented James and Luke from getting violent in the cafeteria, etc.)
You’re a great guy, (insert his name) and I just wanted to let you know that I‘m crushing (pretty hard) on you.

Again, you’re free to edit this template to your liking but I’m sure as hell this is something I would write.
You wrote the letter. That’s good but we all know the REAL issue is delivering the letter to him. You can’t hand it to him face to face. If you could, you would have just gone face to face with him and told him you liked him. And sending a middle man to give him your letter is NOT an option. So what do you do in this situation? Well, honey, it’s time for OPERATION: SECRET SENDER. I made up this plan to help you deliver your letter to him with ease.
1) Write in a different handwriting. If he knows you (or he has borrowed one of your books before or something), he might know your handwriting. Get someone else (someone super close to you that has vowed not to say a peep, i.e., your BFF or someone who doesn’t care about your love life ,i.e., your little brother or sister) to write it for you
2) DON’T SIGN YOUR NAME! Leave it anonymous: I said leave it anonymous because there’s a 50 percent chance your crush may not like you back and instead of him disliking the letter and the person who wrote it to him, he’ll only dislike the letter. He won’t know who wrote it
3) Write or fold the letter in brightly coloured paper. It’ll catch his eye immediately
Slip the letter in his locker (or desk) when
❤he’s not there
❤none of his friends are there
❤none of your friends are there
❤no one that knows you is there
I recommend very early in the morning before anyone else gets to school or very late in the afternoon when everyone else has left. You could also try during lunch break but like I said, make sure no one who knows you or him is around.
5) Be present when he discovers the letter. Don’t chicken out and run away. You need to observe his facial expression intently without being noticeable. Ask a (close) friend to pretend like s/he is talking to you when he opens his locker or desk and picks up the letter.
❤If he reads it and smiles/blushes/looks around for who may have sent it to him, then tucks it somewhere, like his bag or his pocket. That’s a good sign. You’re a go for the next mission.
❤If he scowls at the letter or reads it and tosses it in the trash, that’s a big NO, he’s not interested. Thank your stars your name isn’t on the letter.
❤If he calls his guys and they all start laughing and making fun of the letter, it means your crush isn’t sensitive and is a jerk. You don’t need guys like that around you, girl. Forget him on the spot. Also, there’s no need to be embarrassed - they don’t know it’s you.
❤If the mission was a failure and you’ve seen for yourself that he doesn’t appreciate your letter, you can always cry (if you feel like). Go somewhere private and bawl your eyes out. But know this; once you are done crying over him, that’s the end. You’ll forget him. You will go out and look for interests in other guys as there are plenty more of them in the world.
❤If the first operation was a success (i.e., if it’s clear that he’s interested from his first facial expression after reading your letter), write him another one. And this time, you get to sign it! In this letter, ask him out! It could go something like;
Dear (insert his name),
This is kind of an update from the last letter I snuck into your locker (honestly, I should get an award for stealth… or stalking. Whichever one comes first). I’d like to ask… Would you like to go out with me?
I couldn’t ask in the first note so you don’t think I’m too forward or yandere or something (Like, “Hey. I like you. Let’s date right now, then get married and have ten kids and live in a lakehouse on Long island”) LOL.
So would you like to go out with me?
PS: This is (insert your name)
Sneak this note the same way you snuck the last one into his locker or desk or schoolbag or whatever is available.
Now this is the heavy part. Waiting. Your crush could
❤Send you a note back telling you yes or no; If this happens and he said yes, walk up to him. Yes, you heard me. Walk up to him and be friendly. If he’s going to be your boyfriend, you’ve got to start talking to him verbally, not just in text or on paper. Make a little small talk (you could talk about the terrible cafeteria food) and then ask what time, day and where your date will be. If his answer was no, it’s definitely going to sting but you should always remember that he’s not the only boy in the world. Cry if you need to but under no circumstances should you let yourself be moody for the rest of the day. Get something doing and keep yourself occupied. If you bump into him, don’t snub or run away. Be mature and give him a slight nod or wave or if you can manage it, a little smile
❤Approach you directly and tell you yes or no; Girl, do not freak out! If he says yes, don’t act like you don’t really care and just mutter “yeah, okay”. That’s not cool. Give him a smile and ask what place and time you’re meeting at. If he says no, then act like it’s no big deal. Smile and say okay. Then walk away, go into the bathroom or somewhere private and melt into a puddle of tears (that is, if you want to cy)
❤Not leave a note or approach you at all; After you send him your note, wait for about three days. If he hasn’t replied after three days, the chances are he’d rather approach you but is still figuring out what to say, he’s not interested, or he never got your note. After the third day, walk up to him and casually say something in the lines of “Hey. I sent you a note the other day but you haven’t replied. Is everything okay?” He could then tell you he never saw the noteand you have to explain about the first note and ask (not weirdly) if he’d like to go out with you right there. He could say he’s not interested or yes, he is. Just act like I instructed above.
