Left on read and pining from afar? Gain the confidence to take control of your romance story—your way—before the school year’s done.

- 

The long, dreary winter is over and your social schedule is *officially* back in session. And with after-school hangouts, outdoor squad seshes and— gulp—prom on the horizon, we’ve got some good news for you: You might just have a crush-worthy cutie headed your way.

So how exactly do you go about finding (and flirting with) a potential bae? Here’s how to exude amazing vibes and show that sweetie just how fabulous you really are…

SHED YOUR SHELL

While it’s normal to feel self-conscious around someone you like, the goal is to push past those nerves and kiss shy goodbye with some confident moves.

On Monday, make eye contact when you see them in the hall. Tuesday? Make eye contact again and add a smile (we bet they smile back). Wednesday: Wave casually and smile again when you see them before class. Thursday: Give an even bigger smile and say hi. And on Friday? Well, chances are they’ll get the clue and start chatting you up.

And if they don’t get the hint? Walk right up and ask how their week is going. Then, let the convo flow from there.
