Do not always believe that relationships will happen when you least expect it –that is one of the biggest myths. If you want the guy, you have to take action. So, stop discretely ogling him from a distance and plant yourself on his radar screen.

Try these tips to make your crush a keeper:

Spot a conversation check.

You need to get him talking to make sure he’s worthy of your crush. There’s no need for a fancy line — just say hello, tell him your name and ask him his. This straightforward approach clues him in that you’re interested, but it won’t humiliate you the way using a cheesy line can.

Be upbeat.

Resist the impulse to put yourself down. When you exude the aura of happiness, it makes you more attractive to others.

Make it easy for him.

Although men like to be in control, they are also scared of rejection. So ask him out without really asking him out. Say “I enjoyed talking to you, and I’d love to see you again sometime.” This gives him the control but removes the pressure– and his fear.

Don’t be afraid of rejection.

If you make a move, you risk failure. But if you never make a move you risk letting the love of your life walk right on by.
