"For weeks you&amp;#039;ve tried to get his attention, stopping nothing short of batting your eyelashes and learning advanced trigonometry to help him ace his quiz. You&amp;#039;ve dropped subtle hints ... and a few not-so-subtle hints, but he still has no clue that you&amp;#039;re totally into him. What&amp;#039;s a girl to do? Summon up your courage and (gulp) make the first move. Sure, it sounds intimidating to grab the dating reins, but when a guy ignores your flirty attempts, try these tips that will make you too tempting to dismiss: 1) Be interested The best way to connect is through similar interests, so chat with your guy&amp;#039;s friends, or look him up on MySpace to learn his likes and dislikes. Try observing his after-school hangouts, and make yourself more noticeable there. You never know what a little innocent sleuthing might uncover. Who would have ever guessed that you two share a mutual love for Heroes and cookie dough ice cream? It could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship ... maybe more. 2) Be confident (but not cocky) This tip is simple, yet so important: Be yourself. One of a guy&amp;#039;s biggest turn-ons is a confident girl who is comfortable with herself. Don&amp;#039;t freeze up when hanging with your crush! Feel free to laugh and joke like you would with your best friend \u2014 your playful manner can ease his anxiety, making hanging out more memorable for both of you. 3) Be fearless You can primp and plan, but eventually you just have to go for it! Take baby steps to make it easier, and remember: Try, try again. Just met? Hang out as friends before taking the next step. This smart move gives you time to get to know each other. Already friends? Proceed with caution! Take it slow, and subtly read his signals. If he seems happy as just BFFs, enjoy his friendship but keep a lookout for a new cutie to crush on.
