Expert Q&A
Tips
- One of the reasons he will think you like him is because you keep glancing at him; you're only peeking at him to make sure he's not staring at you! So you have two options; 1. Accept that he's into you and will probably be staring at you until his eyeballs burn through the back of his skull. 2. Just make sure that he doesn't catch you checking up on him. This can be embarrassing.Thanks
- Sometimes it can go too far; be sure to tell a parent or adult person if you think he is stalking you.Thanks
- If the boy tries to sit next to you, sit somewhere else. Maybe with your friends, or just sit somewhere else away from the boy.Thanks
Warnings
- If your friends know that he likes you and they think that you like him even if you say no, then they might set you up with him. Just say to your friends that you simply don't like the guy and for him to move on.Thanks
- Be sure to tell an adult if it gets too serious. e.g if he's following you everywhere, then he could be a stalkerThanks
- Doing step number four can backfire - you can end up having two guys hot on your tail. Or, you could flirt with 10 boys at the same time!Thanks
- Don't ignore them completely because you don't want to go out with them. That's just plain mean.Thanks
