I've been friends with the boy I like for about two years now. I want to try some low key flirting to catch his attention and maybe move our relationship closer to something more than friends! He's really shy, and I'm much more talkative than he is. I don't want to accidentally say something weird or dumb and freak him out. Does anyone have any advice? (• ▽ •)

Don't take my advice, because I am horrible when it comes to this, but I guess you could give him compliments in a cute way. And you guys are friends so it wouldn't be weird if you were playful with him, you know playfully push him or tease him or something. =/

lol are you sure you WANT to break your friendship though. Seems like it'd be bad if you guys dated and it ended badly. Then it would be awkward...but maybe not. idk.

Why are you posting on this?

>>3 why not? I've actually made a thread for romantic advice once, too. Is it wrong? O_o

I personally don't have any advise for you, other than always being nice to him and stuff. But I wish you the best of luck for being with him, I also like my friend, but he didn't feel the same way for me. That's why I really hope things work out for you <3

"Don't take my advice, because I am horrible when it comes to this"

>>6 oh that. Just warning her. I'm still giving advice. I've helped some of my friends with their relationship problems even after they know I am horrible with my own romantic pursuits and when I help them, they do what I tell them and they're still with the same person. =/

lol, I won't put that next time.

My advice may not pertain to this guy, but just start saying weird shit and he will prob be spook but after a while he will get used to it. Also just low key throw some compliments towards you and him in a joking manner. Be cute. A girl once asked me to send a pic of myself to her. I told her to wait because I was putting on my makeup and then i said its hard to be this attractive. I was kidding and all but she thought it was cute and laughed a lot.

You know, first you may want to really think about why you like this person. I once had a crush on a girl but I soon saw her true side. Now I dont even really remember why I liked her. If you think your reasons for liking him are good enough, just be honest with him. If he accepts you, good for you. If not, well, I dont have any really good advice for that. Best of luck to you.

I understand your situation perfectly, and whilst it might be a bit forward for your liking, some advice my friend gave my is to, in a private and discrete way, just take their hand :P lightly, but purposefully so they understand it wasn't just a bump, you need to have confidence so he doesn't feel a need to pull away, but to me it sounded like the nicest possible way of starting something. I get build ups of emotion and feel a need to physically interact with the person I'm interested in, and I always feel as though, even though I'm not trying to be, I'm perhaps discouraging her. But lightly taking someone's hand, rather than jokingly pushing them for example, seems like the friendliest way to go about it; you're allowing them to choose, they have control over where their hands are positioned, it also seems cute as fuck in my opinion. Good luck ^_^
