Do's & Don'ts: Of Crushing

You've been there (haven't we all?) - sitting in class, minding your own business, when suddenly, in walks HIM. The guy of your dreams. That guy you've been thinking about, dreaming about, for the past few weeks. Maybe he glances your way and flashes you a friendly smile, and before you know it, your insides feel all tingly, your stomach is overrun with butterflies, and you're instantly consumed with thoughts of romantic date nights to the movies, moonlit strolls in the park, wedding bells ringing in the distant future...

So how do you deal? The world of crushing is vast and confusing, and it's difficult knowing where to even begin! Well, have no fear! WeTalkDaily is here to help. We gladly bring you...

The Do's & Don'ts of Crushing

DO smile when you see him, always letting him know you're happy he's around.
DON'T get all nervous and start stuttering whenever he starts talking to you.

DO wear your cutest, nicest clothes whenever you know he'll be around.
DON'T start digging through your older sister's wardrobe in an attempt to be "sexier" (this could scare him off).

DO enlist the emotional support of your best girl friend, so long as you know she can be trusted to keep a secret.
DON'T enlist the support of that friend of yours who loves to gossip and can't keep a secret to save her life.

DO engage him in conversation, discussing shared interests, likes/dislikes, and so on.
DON'T tell him you want to have his babies.

DO remember important dates and events, like his birthday, his upcoming championship soccer game, his favorite movie, etc.
DON'T become a stalker and start showing up at things he never even told you about, like doctors appointments.

And perhaps, most importantly...

DO above all, be yourself. If he's going to like you back, he's got to like you for who you are, not who you want him to think you are.

Crushing can be really hard sometimes. Guys can be confusing, difficult, annoying, disgusting, frustrating - the list goes on and on. But just remember - chances are, there's a guy out there who is crushing on you just as badly as you're crushing right now. And who knows? Maybe he's the same guy you're crushing on! Keep your cool, be yourself, and before you know it, everything will work out perfectly.

And if not, don't worry - there's always our "Ask a Guy" section! Submit your guy questions and we'll get you some real answers, from real guys who have been there and know how to help.
