1. Be Confident
All guys love someone confident, so that's definitely one way to behave with your crush when you are in a group. It's easy to get lost in the crowd, to be quiet and unassuming, but if you're confident in yourself without being overbearing, it will take you far. Contribute to the conversation, join in the fun, but as you can see, you have to be careful there as well--
***
Confidence is key when it comes to catching your crush's attention in a group setting. Not only does it show that you are comfortable in your own skin, but it also makes you stand out in the crowd. However, it's important to strike a balance and not come off as too overbearing. Instead, contribute to the conversation, join in the fun, and showcase your unique personality. This will not only make you more attractive to your crush, but it will also help you feel more confident and comfortable in the group dynamic. Remember, being yourself is always the best approach when trying to impress someone.
It's all about being yourself and being confident. Try to find common topics or things everyone can talk about. You don't have to be the center of attention, just contribute to the conversation naturally.
Sometimes people feel more comfortable in group settings. It's less pressure. Try to see if there’s a chance to have one-on-one moments, but don’t take it personally if it's mainly in groups for now.
Absolutely! A friendly wave is a great way to acknowledge them without making it a big deal. It's casual and shows you're happy to see them.
Standing close could be a sign that they’re interested or comfortable around you. Body language speaks volumes, so take it as a positive sign but also ensure it doesn’t make you uncomfortable.
It can feel really disheartening, but sometimes people act differently when they have feelings for someone. Try to give it some time and see if the behavior changes. You can also casually bring it up if it continues to bother you.
2. Don't Hog All the Attention
Attention whores are unattractive in general. Nobody likes someone who tries to hog all of the attention and be in the center spotlight all the time. It's unappealing to men and women, boys and girls alike. When you're in a group of people, it can be tempting to make yourself stand out, but you can do that without trying to force your crush to pay attention to you by taking over every subject and bringing every conversation back around to yourself.
***
When you're in a group with your crush, it's important to remember not to hog all the attention. It's natural to want to stand out and make sure your crush notices you, but it's important to do it in a subtle way. Trying to take over every conversation and bring it back to yourself will only make you seem desperate and unattractive. Instead, make sure to give others a chance to speak and participate in the conversation.
Show your crush that you're confident and that you have interesting things to talk about, without trying to take over the conversation. Ask questions and be genuinely interested in what others have to say. Show your crush that you're a good listener and that you care about what they have to say.
It's also important to make sure you don't monopolize your crush's attention. If you're in a group, make sure to give other people a chance to talk to them. Show your crush that you can be confident and independent, without needing to be the center of attention.

3. Talk to Everyone
Making sure you're friendly with everyone is another way to behave with your crush when you are in a group. By singling out your crush and not really focusing on anyone else, you're going to out yourself, plus you'll make him or her uncomfortable. However, by paying attention to everyone in the group, you're showing that you're social, nice, all encompassing, and that you enjoy being part of a group.
***
Engaging with everyone ensures a more relaxed atmosphere and helps to keep your interactions with your crush subtle and natural. Not to mention, it also gives you the opportunity to shine as someone who is confident and inclusive. The conversation may naturally flow such that you can show off your sense of humor or shared interests without it feeling forced. Maintaining a balanced dynamic within the group also prevents any possible feelings of jealousy or exclusion, which can only work in your favor in the long run.

4. Try Not to Be Obvious
Clearly, focusing solely on your crush would be a bit too obvious. You definitely want to avoid acting obvious, because that's going to be embarrassing for the both of you. Smiling at or occasionally making eye contact with your crush is perfectly acceptable. What you don't want to do is spend the whole time making moon eyes at him or her, giving caresses, getting jealous when your crush talks to anyone else, and so on.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
5. Have a Good Time
If you're having a good time, it puts you in a great like. Don't let yourself feel awkward or uncomfortable just because your crush is there. That will bleed out into the rest of your behavior, and before you know it, everyone's going to know you're not having a nice time and they're going to wonder why – possibly out loud. Plus, you may end up looking like a wallflower or a spoil sport, which won't bode well.

6. Be Open
Another way to behave with your crush when you are in a group is to be honest and open. You can be yourself while still keeping to the other points, as long as you act naturally. There are little ways you can let your crush know you're feeling him or her, without drawing the attention of the entire group or embarrassing either of you.

7. Act Mature
The best way to act around your crush, whether you're in a group or not, is to be mature. A lot of giggling, pointing, whispering to others while pointedly looking at your crush, is going to be uncomfortable for both of you. You don't need to play coy like that; being yourself will serve you much better.
It's important to know the right ways to behave with your crush when you are in a group, because group settings can be hard. Just remember that you don't need to vie for his or her attention or steal the spotlight; both of those may turn off your crush. How do you handle this particular dilemma?

Buzz: There is this guy that I am 90 percent sure likes me (he gives off all the body language cues like posture, eye contact, always facing me, even when he's talking to someone else, laughing at all my jokes, even the stupid ones, etc) But I rarely see him except at parties because he lives in another city. My dilemma is that my friend likes him too. I don't want to make any moves because I am still unsure about if he is the one and I really don't want my friend to be mad at me if he asks me out. I know he's not attracted to her because he treats her like everyone else and doesn't look at her the way he looks at me. I catch him staring out of the corner of my eye, he finds excuses to talk to me. He agrees with just about everything I say, and says he likes things when I say I like them. It's very confusing, and I'm not sure how to proceed. Nobody knows I like him. And I don't try to attract him. I just act my normal self. But she goes all out to get his attention. I don't know if I should just say nothing so we can all just stay friends...any advice?
Anonymous: I'm an 8th grader and I really like this guy (well, I sort of have since like 5th grade) anyways, we started talking lot more and I sit by him in like 3 classes. The thing is, my other friend (who's a guy) tells him that I like him all the time, even when I'm right there. He doesnt seem to mind, and I know it's got to be awkward for him..but anyways, it's not like we stopped talking..and I'm not sure if he does or doesn't like me. (he doesnt seem to date a whole lot) somebody please help, and don't hate..
Anonymous: Okay, there's this guy in my class the thing is I don't know if he has feelings for me. All my friends think he likes me or has some sort of feelings but just the other day he told me he liked these two other girls. But the thing that confuses me is that when we are in class he talks to me and waits for me so that way he can talk and walk with me. Also, once I gave him fuses necklaces and he kept them but he told his friend that he was keeping the necklaces not just because they looked good but for other reasons too and he told his friend not to tell me that but his friend told because I know him. Anyway, my question is, If he supposedly likes me then why would he tell me he liked these two other girls? And I know his not lying. I don't what to do and I really like him. Also, his a year younger than me if tht counts for anything.
Anonymous: So my prob is that I already found out that the guy I like isn't interested in anybody at all in my class. I had my friend ask he if he liked anybody in the school we attend and he said no. He also might possibly have a gf. So I rather just move on and not try to pursue anything...but he tends to hang out with my group of friends so he is always around. If I avoid him, I would end up avoiding my friends which I don't want to do. So should I just be friends with him to avoid any awkward situations with my friends even though I might develop stronger feelings for him? He is a really friendly guy and seems like he wants to be friends with me ( i started hanging out with this set of friends more often so maybe he thinks im just part of the gang now) so its hard to ignore him. So what should I do? I feel like if I become closer friends with him, he might talk about other girls he likes and I don't really want to hear about that. When we are together in a group, I am very casual and normal...I don't think anybody would be able to figure out how I feel from the way I act around him.
Anonymous: Hi. Im 18. But I look 20. There is this guy that I met about a year ago. He was a mentor (a twenty three year old) on a spring break trip i took with a christian youth center. Anyway he and i kinda hit it off, but then over the summer we only talked like once every two weeks .... but now we talk alot and i also convinced him to help out with a singing group that im appart of through the youth center. The group travels around and performs on sundays at different churches. So ergo we see each other every sunday. And he always is super nice and sometimes flirty. And everyone thinks he likes me. A couple people even asked if we were dating. Im convinced that hes just waiting till i get out of high s hool before he makes a move. Im just not sure if he's in to me. Help!
Anonymous: Hi, so there is this guy who's in my group of friends with whom I have a lot in common. I want to date him but only because I have nothing else to do and because I feel lonely. The more I hang out with him the more I get attracted, but don't want to do anything because I know that I'll hurt him, myself, and our relationship in our group of friends. Its confusing and painful. I can predict our relationship and every other teen's. I am a sceptic of this hormone business.
Grace: I talked to this boy briefly at a social gathering. All the girls at my school like him and I asked him for his phone number. I havent texted him yet, since I want to get to know him more. Theres this picnic tomorrow and he's going. I have no idea what to wear or what to say to him if/when I see him. Any ideas?
