Talking to boys is pretty easy, once you realize that they are just people, no different from you or your friends. Of course, this can be hard to remember when you've spent all morning obsessing over his cute freckles and writing his name in your notebooks. But think about it: Boys are just kids. So when you see the boy you're crushing on, picture him doing something goofy and kid-like, like shopping for underwear with his mom. That will bring your image of him down to earth, making normal conversation so much easier. If your crush doesn't take the bait and start talking to you, it's time to ask him a question. Questions are excellent talking tools because they pull people into conversation. Just make sure to ask open-ended questions - if you ask something that can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no", there's a risk that your convo will be over in seconds! (For example, "What do you think of dogs for pets?" instead of "Do you have a dog?") You could also try asking him for directions (maybe he'll escort you where you're going), or if he's on the school football team, ask what a defensive quarterback is (say you heard the term on TV). When he answers, be sure to thank him and give him a big smile. When a person is nervous, it's common to just blab and blab for the sake of keeping the chat going. But guys get irritated when girls talk just for the sake of talking. If he barely knows you, he's probably not interested in what your little sister did on the weekend, or what you dreamed about last night. Keep the discussion light and in the present. Also, avoid talking about ex-boyfriends, family or friend problems or anything else that's too heavy or negative. If you two get to know each other better, there's lots of time for sharing secrets then. When talking to a guy, it's always better to be the one to walk away. That way you won't run the risk of going on and on, or blurting out something weird when there's an awkward silence. Even if the convo is going great, leave when it's good and you will leave him wanting more. So after you've chatted for a bit, when it feels like a good point for the conversation to wrap up, say, "It was nice talking to you" and be on your way. If you're just too shy or nervous to pull off talking to your crush, think outside the "one-on-one" idea. Why not plan a girl-guy outing with several of your friends and get someone to ask him along? Go out for pizza, or invite the gang over to your house to play some games. This is better than watching a video, because it will allow you to interact and become more comfortable around him, and that can lead to conversation. Don't expect to become best friends right away, though. Like any good relationship, it will take time to develop. As you spend time with him in small group settings, your nervousness will probably fade. You may even find yourself wondering what caused your jitters in the first place.
