I like a guy a year older than me, and I want him to like me back and know that I like him without being like obnoxious or telling him. How can I flirt with him. What things could I say??
Thanks

If you worry too much about what you're saying and how you're saying it, you'll seem distracted and not very interested in the person you're talking to. Instead of being wrapped up in yourself, focus your attention on the guy who's talking to you. Don't think ahead to what you're going to say next! Really listen to what he is saying and respond with thoughtful answers that show you've been listening.
Don't Wait for Him to Flirt First-
Most guys in their teens are notoriously shy about talking to girls, even girls they like! Make the first move. Chances are, he'll appreciate not having to move first and be flattered that you want to talk to him. 95% of teen guys says they love it when a girl makes the first move.
Don't Put It All Out There
A sure way to be a flirting flop is to act overly sexual by talking dirty or hinting at your vast experience with guys. Guys tend to divide girls into two categories - easy to get, and hard to get. Guess which ones they like more? If you seem ready for too much too soon, he'll think you are like that with everyone - not the impression you want to send the guy of your dreams. Be a little mysterious - flirt, show your interest by being friendly, but don't be overly obvious or offer more than you intend to give.
Leave Him Wanting More
The first few times you talk to a guy, be the first person to end the conversation. When you feel like it might be winding up, or after a few minutes of one-on-one talk, break away by smiling and saying "It was nice talking to you. I have to go meet up with (your friend's name) now." This makes you seem in demand, and not desperate to talk to him. Bonus: if you're a bit nervous about flirting with him, it takes the pressure off you to keep it going.
Have Fun
Everyone likes being around someone who doesn't take life too seriously. Be playful and light-hearted. Don't cover your mouth when you laugh. Let everyone see you enjoy having a good time!
Drop Hints
Give your crush some clues that you like him. There are many ways to do this. In a conversation with your crush, mention casually that you are not going out with anyone. Mention places you miss going to or a movie you really want to see. Talk about things you know both of you would like doing. The goal is to let your crush know that if they ask you out, you are available. (Don't be desperate though - keep it casual). By doing this, you also let him know what kinds of places you would enjoy going on a date (just in case he was wondering!).
Don't Panic Over Pauses in Conversation
Everyone, no matter how confident they seem, gets nervous sometimes in social situations. Cut them - and yourself - some slack. Don't flip out if conversation seems awkward at first, especially if you don't even know each other that well. Just remember to keep up eye contact, smile and ask questions about him you really want to know. If you get too nervous to continue, excuse yourself and leave the flirting to another time when you're feeling more assured.
