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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

U like thus guy and he always flirts with me and he told my brother that I'm pretty but he also like another girl and earlier this year he went out with this girl a billion times he wuz like in love with her it she broke up with him and he cried sooo much after but he's almost completely over her now and he always says hi to me and smiles at me and and sometimes I catch him staring at me. My brother and him are friends so he tells me a lot of stuff and a couple days ago my brother told me that he said that he doesn't want to go out with anyone this year!! Should I give uP or should I keep on flirting with him?? Idk wut to do Plz help

Okay so I like this guy and I am kind of loud and some people say I'm obnoxious. He told my firend that he likes her but wishes she was quieter. So that means he's into quiet girls. I don't know how to get him to see like the funny side or the witty side of me. I am so mad right now because he playfully flirts with me all the time like this; 1) Whenever we are walking down the hallway and he is behind me, he plays wth my hair! Like he grabs it (gently) and twists it around and makes weird noises and he likes to make his fingers "walk" down my arm toward my hand but everytime he gets close my friend, Cheyanne, pulls me away and asks me to look at something. I think it's because he said he likes HER but I always feel bad and want to go back get get flirted with because last time I looked back and he looked crestfallen. His eyes were so sad. 2) This has happened maybe three or four times and I think it's going to be a habit but whenever we are anywhere not around his group of friends he sits like so close to me and doesn't pull away. I read this thing and it said that's one of the signs a boy likes you. 3) Oh so this happened once but it was super awesome! Okay so Tyler (the boy I like), Cheyanne, Keyshawn (tyler's bestie), and I were sitting in science we were doing this assignment where we could sit wherever we want and he brought Keyshawn over and plopped down on the other side of the table across from Cheyanne and I. The weird thing is, is that almost all of the cute, popular seventh grade girls are in our class. Cheyanne and I aren't the prettiest girls either, not saying we are the ugliest but we are DEFINATELY not the prettiest. The whole time he was smiling at me and I was smiling at him and he was flirting with me too! Like this one article says that; 'a boy feels most comfortable with a purpose.' But HE asked ME for help! He was also trying really hard to make eye contact with me. But then today he was like completely avoiding me and embarassing me in front of my friends and everyone else. 4) I sit diagnolly behind him in World Geo. and every once in a while he turns and smiles and giggles at me. Then he tries to hold eye contact but the teacher won't let him stay turned around. HELP ME!!! PLEASE!!! I need advice to be able to get him to stop harassing me or to get him to ask me out! But the other problem is he is one of the most popular guys in the whole school and my friend would kill me because she still really likes him still. How do I get quieter? How do I get him to look into my eyes? How do I get him to ask me out? I have the whole next week and weekend to find out! Please help me!?

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?

Hi so I really think this guy that I see in school is really cute I know his name but he is known Of my classes I always see him in the hallways but we always have eye contact and he looks like one of those guys that has never had a girlfriend but I don't know how to get him to talk to me and I am a very shy person
