You and the cutie you’ve been eyeing had a fab flirty thing going on since the first day of school. But suddenly, he’s gone from the boy you always banter with...to someone else’s BF. Ugh. Before you morph from your sweet self to a crazed (or just plain sad) chica, here are some key things to consider—so the next time you crush, you two stand a better shot at really connecting.

GET ON HIS RADAR

You happen to know this boy’s a Leo, he prefers soccer to football and his mom packs him a PB and blueberry jam sandwich on the daily. And you thought he was just as clued into you—or was he?

To get his attention next time, you have to get up the courage to be bold: Shoot him a compliment on his swoon-worthy sweater, smile and wave when you show up to his soccer match or invite him to your Halloween bash. If he’s into you, he’ll pick up on your vibes after a couple of flirty passes.
