As much as you want to approach your crush, you can’t think of how to brace up, discard your fears and go for it. You’re either shy or afraid of rejection or both.
The thought of approaching your crush can be an overwhelming experience filled with anticipation and excitement.
However, it can also be quite intimidating filled with a whole different level of anxiety. When you think of putting yourself out there and probably face rejection, it can be really discouraging.
But you don’t have to worry, use these tips to approach your crush, the results are simply amazing.
Tips for Approaching Your Crush
1. Get to know him/her better
The first step is to take the time to know them better. You can observe from a distance. Pay attention to how they interact with others, their body language and behaviour in different situations, and pay attention to their interests, hobbies, and passions.
This can help find a common ground which will not only help you start a surprisingly interesting conversation with them but it show you are genuinely interested in them as a person.
2. Find the Right Atmosphere
Another way to get your crush’s attention is to find the right time and best atmosphere to talk to them. Preferably when they’re relaxed and not in a rush.
Choose a quiet and comfortable setting where you both feel comfortable, respect their time and space. Take advantage of a natural conversation starter.
Begin with a friendly introduction, focusing on shared experiences and interests in music, movies, sports or hobbies.
Be mindful of your body language and tone, and keep the conversation light and friendly. Use this mutual interest as a way to connect with him/her and gradually build a great connection.

3. Show Genuine Interest
A useful approach will be to show genuine interest in your crush, their thoughts and opinions. Ask open and engaging questions that allow him/her to express themselves and share their opinions, thoughts and feelings.
Remember to listen closely to their responses, and be down to earth, this will not only show that you are attentive and interested in what they have to say, but it will help have a meaningful conversation.
4. Every Crush Loves a Good Sense of Humour
Most people chat freely with a funny person. A great sense of humour is the easiest way to approach your ideal partner.
Using humour can also be a great way to ease the atmosphere and make him/her feel more comfortable. A well-timed joke can help lighten the mood and create a sense of trust and freedom.
Just be sure to keep the humour light and respectful, and avoid any offensive or inappropriate jokes.
5. Confidence is Attractive
While it’s natural to feel nervous and shy, try to radiate confidence and self-assurance. Stand tall, dress smart and simple, make eye contact. Speak with clarity and let your personality resonate with confidence. Confidence is key and can make a lasting impression on your crush.
6. Be Real, Don’t Fake it
Just be yourself. Authenticity is important in building a genuine connection with someone. Don’t try to be someone you’re not in an attempt to impress your crush.
Pretence is hard work, you pay more to sustain a fake personality. Instead, be genuine, sincere, and true to yourself. He/she will appreciate your authenticity and honesty.
Conclusion
To walk up to your crush can be a tough task, but with the right approach, it can be a rewarding experience. So, getting to know your crush better, finding the right time and atmosphere, showing genuine interest, using humour, being confident and just being yourself, will increase your chances of starting a conversation and building a meaningful relationship with your crush.
To hold back because you are shy or afraid may deny you the opportunity to ever talk to your crush. Go ahead, take a deep breath, and make a move, you never know where it might lead.
