Imagine this: you are walking up the Smith stairs heading to class and you see someone approaching you. They glance at you and smile. Or you are sitting in GB 301with your group discussing your business plan when someone from your class catches your eye. Your palms get sweaty, you get chills, and it seems as if swallowing has become more difficult. No worries, you are not getting sick; these are classic symptoms of a crush.
Now Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. How can you possibly tell your crush how you feel? Worry not; asking out your crush is only as hard as you make it. Stay calm and remember these few things when approaching your crush:
Now that you’ve talked to this person, make plans for a later date. You have not found anything that would turn you off from asking them, so why not? Before you get a panic attack, this does not have to be known as an official date, but rather a way of better getting to know each other, which is a better alternative to continually hold conversations in between classes.
Following these key pointers can help you when asking out your crush but, remember that asking out your crush does not always go as one planned.
Do not worry! The worst your crush can say is “no.” Yes, that may sound like the worst possible response, but you can move on from that negative experience and acknowledge the fact that this was not meant to be.
Mourning what could be is the worst possible thing for anyone. Be happy that you did something about it rather than thinking of it as a defeat. Ask yourself this: what if the response is a “yes?!”
You will never know until you at least try. Give it your best and before you know it, your best will catch someone’s attention.
