Flirting Advice

Just run up to them and grab his arm, not hard, and ask him if he's seen a movie that just came out in an urgent kinda voice. If he says no then ask him if he wants to...if he has seen it, ask him if he wants to see another movie...the worst he can do is say no.

I know it's tough for you. I think to make it easier (rather than just flat out approaching them), maybe you could find out through friends what they like to do, what they do after school, what their favorite sports teams are...just find something you can talk to them about.

If they are into sports...it's football season. Find out that crush's favorite team. Actually watch a little of it, but if you can't, then read about that team on Monday morning before going into school. Approach him and ask him if he saw the game yesterday? Ask him what he thought of a certain player. You'll get his attention. Just a thought.

Maybe this will help-
I'm a person that loves to laugh, but when I'm around someone new or a crush its hard to breathe let alone smile and make eye contact (traditional flirting tricks)... So I find a common interest- like once I saw a crush looking intently at something. I was curious (which somehow knocked over my nervousness because) I just walked over to the step he was sitting at, tapped him on the shoulder and asked what was he watching. Turned out to be he found a satellite view of his parents home (they lived out of state) with google on his cell phone. We started a conversation about that and ended up going on a few dates... The reason I say this is because although your nervous and you may clam up or lose your breathing/speaking abilities-- there's always gonna be that what if factor. Later on you wonder what the heck were you thinking not approaching someone from the past or wonder what could have been. Whenever I feel stage fright about approaching/flirting with guys I think: the least he can say is no. (UNLESS: he's a jerk, most guys won't give you a hard time for approaching them if they're not interested. Unlike some girls, they take it as a compliment to their day and move on, instead of rehashing it with their boys or making an outlandish scene to show others what happened)- --- As for tips on flirting, just be yourself. Making eye contact is good, a smile won't hurt, and add a little self confidence and he won't notice a thing!

It just takes practice and confidence. Don't put so much pressure on yourself to talk or talk well. Practice on a few people that you don't have a crush on (and therefore don't care what they think if you mess up ;). When meeting new people, smile and think of a question for them to spark conversation. People usually like to be helpful and answer questions... Good luck!
