Flirting comes naturally to some people. Others, on the other hand, find it difficult to let their crush realise they have them all in their feelings. If you want to send a flirty text to your future boo or initiate a chat in person, here are five simple ways to get bae’s attention without humiliating yourself.

1. Connect with them on social media.

Double-tapping their Instagram images or checking out their Snapchat stories would certainly put bae on alert that you’re interested

2. Use an emoji to express yourself.

Why not let the emojis speak for themselves? You don’t need to give them the eggplant or peach emojis to gain their attention; just leaving a kissy face or heart-eyes emoji in their comments would suffice.

3. Invite your crush and your BFFs to hang out with you.

Are you going to a dance or meeting of your besties? Invite bae to join you and your squad for a night of kicking it. Hanging out in a party environment relieves you of the need to ask your crush out for a personal, one-on-one date.

4. Allow your crush to catch you staring at them.

Try to lock eyes with your crush for a second, nod, and then look away. Hopefully, as you look away, they’ll all be looking at you. This subtle eye contact conveys the impression that you are open to being confronted.

5. Make them laugh.

To subtly taunt your crush is one way to communicate and express interest. For example, if your future boo is a major sports fan, tease bae when they lose.
