5 ways to build up courage to approach your crush

Most of us, at a certain time in our lives, have come across a potential mate, but have refrained from taking the initiative to make a connection of any sorts. The sad cause of this can be simply awkwardness, fear of rejection, losing face or just a lack of social skills.

Talking to someone can be especially difficult if this person is around you on most days of the week, with the person being your colleague, classmate or even the Starbucks guy. The life of a singleton can be rough and monotonous.

Well, the sparks of a happening love life can enliven anybody. So, instead of procrastinating, go approach that cute girl from your art class or that nerdy pizza delivery guy. Take the chance with the following tips on how to tame down the person who has occupied the soft corner in your heart.

1.      There’s a reason you’re drawn to the person you like. Unless you talk to them and take a chance, you wouldn’t know if they were meant to be.

2.    Remember that rejection is better than regret. Regrets will haunt you like a bad nightmare throughout your life.

3.    Connect slowly and subtly. You need to know a person inside out before deciding whether to take the next step.

4.    Be genuine. Don’t fake it. Don’t try to impersonate someone who you think they might like. Who knows they might change their preferences if they like you for who you really are.

5.     Avoid being desperate. In case there is no response from the other side, give it a break and wait until they reach out to you.

No matter what happens, remember that person is not the last one you’ll ever meet. If it’s meant to be, you’ll connect with them in one way or another. So quit your inhibitions and go talk to them right now.
