You could hope they secretly know you like them... or try this.

Here's the thing: If you're always waiting for someone else to make the first move, you'll also be waiting to be texted, asked out and kissed. What to do instead? Dazzle 'em with a confident vibe and flirt, girl.

We’re about to let you in on a little secret: Flirting is just a fancy word for having fun, being yourself and getting to know a potential bae. And here’s another little secret: Those who make an effort to know their crush get results. So the next time you spot someone you like? Don’t wait by the sidelines—jump in. What have you got to lose?

GOOD MOOD, GOOD FLIRT. Flirting should be fun. This doesn’t mean you have to crack a joke every minute, but it *does* mean being joyful. One instant mood-lifter? If you know you might see your crush later, put on your fave throwback bop and dance wildly for five minutes. Now who’s happy? BE

BRAVE. Sure, it’s great to have a cute story to tell or rock some cool concert tee for them to notice, but in the real world you aren’t always going to have timely tales or fun props—you’ll only have yourself. That’s why you need to just take a deep breath and give it a go.
