Boy: How do I talk to the girl I like?

Talk to a girl you like just like if you were talking to any other girl.

Start by saying hi to her in the hallways. Then move to the next step, which is to talk to her. You can talk about anything, just make sure it is positive and interesting.

Make her feel comfortable. Girls are not scary. We are just girls. We want to talk to you, too!

Advice

Build a friendship with her. If you really like her, make an effort to get to know her, and she could like you back too.

Do not be afraid to talk to girls, find something that you have in common with her.

Practice having conversations with other girls so that you are not awkward or boring. It may even help if you learn a bit about her so that you can talk to her about things she likes talking about.

The difficulty of talking to a girl is overrated.

Just do not ask too many questions or it might seem like forceful or idle conversation. Good luck, Champs!

The Adventist Community Team Services (ACTS) ministry gives food weekly to those who are struggling financially.
