8. Text him
For shy girls, texting is a blessing. It’s so much less terrifying than saying something in person, or if you do chat, you can exchange numbers and speak more confidently over text. Texting is personal and can be intimate, but it still gives you time to think about what you want to say, and it’s a low-pressure alternative to face-to-face.
9. Make mutual friends
If you don’t have mutual friends, make them! Being social in a group setting is less intense than being one-on-one with your crush, so putting in an effort to make mutual friends (or hanging out with someone who’s dating someone that’s friends with your crush) can be an indirect way to hang out and break the ice with some casual chats.
10. Laugh at what he says
Of course, context matters here (you don’t want him to think you’re making fun of him), but laughing at a joke or flirtatiously giggling in conversation will help you stand out and let him know that you’re interested.
