Are you tired of crushing on someone who should be your lover? If you get rejected, then at least you'll know that you tried, and you won't have to spend the rest of your life wondering "what if".

If you spark a conversation, you are much more likely to see if you are compatible. You can ask if he wants to have coffee, dinner, drinks or see a movie, but don’t be vague.

Avoid using phrases like “go out sometime.” Instead, suggest a specific location on a specific day.

When you have the opportunity to make eye contact, keep it for just a few seconds longer and flash a friendly smile, but avoid staring.

Look your best to give yourself a confidence boost.

Eye contact can reveal a lot about two people and if they share a connection.
