In spite of the growing popularity of internet dating site and meeting people at a club, sometimes the best place to find someone to be with is at work or school. Those are places that you can see people multiple times a day, and chances are you'll develop a crush on someone there after awhile. It doesn't matter if you're in high school or in a corporate office, getting your “crush” to realize that you're interested can be a bit difficult.
The first interested glance
If you're ready to take the plunge, then you'll want to learn some secret agent moves. This may sound silly, but if you can work out subtle ways to encounter your crush, you'll be much more likely to get his or her attention. When it comes to school, try taking a path between classes that happens to pass by your crushes locker. Brush against the person on occasional just to get them to glance at you. That simple glance will at least keep you fresh in the person's mind. For work, do the same thing, but drop a piece a paper by the person's desk instead. If they have a glass window in front of the office, try stopping right in front of it to answer the phone.
Turning a glance into an interested advance
Don't take these glances for granted though. Use them as a chance to make eye contact with the person and flash a quick smile. Don’t do anything tacky like winking or licking your lips. Those go into the “too strong” category, and they are seen as quick turn offs. You want to give your crush a slight indication that you know who they are and that you consider them notable enough to smile at them. Feel free to throw in the a wave or the occasional “Hi” every once in awhile. This shows that you’re going beyond just a friendly passer by smile and truly acknowledging them as a person. You’d be surprised by how easily this will help them catch on. People don’t just say “Hi” to anybody, and your crush should pick up on that.
Talking about your interest
Eventually, you’re going to have to talk to the person though. This is of course the scary part, but you have to get over your fear of rejection. If you’re meant to be with the person, then it will happen, and you can’t be afraid to take the steps to get into a relationship. You can be really forward and just ask the person out, or you can see if they are going someplace that you can casually meet up. For instance, if you talk to the person and the crush says that he/she is going to see a movie that night, you can say, “I was going to see that too. Maybe we’ll see each other.” You can turn that into an impromptu date of sorts, and use this meeting to develop a relationship.
Facing possible rejection
You may get rejected, and sure, that's going to be tough. You're going to be hurt and probably give up on dating altogether, but you have to remember that there are plenty of people to choose from. Getting noticed and getting rejected often go hand in hand, but you can't get anywhere in the relationship world without taking a risk or two. Stay true to your heart, and eventually, you'll find someone who may have been trying all along to get your attention.
