Dear Real Life Emory Guy, 

I’m at a loss in this dating game. I keep trying to get noticed by a specific boy on campus who is in one of my classes. I’ve always kept an eye on him but it wasn’t until a few nights ago at a party that he noticed me due to a mutual friend introducing us. Since then, in class, he has made a casual half lipped smirk in my direction to let me know he sees me gawking but I want more than that. How do I get him to notice me?

Sincerely,
Nobody to Somebody
  
Dear Nobody to Somebody,

I promise we’ve all had the same problem you’re having right now.  Trying to figure out just how to get that one guy (or girl in my case) to notice you!  Luckily, I’ve got a few tips up my sleeve and I hope they help.
 
Tip #1: Why gawk when you can talk? 
Before/after class, strike up a conversation with him!  You’re in the same class so you obviously have at least some similar interests.  I wouldn’t recommend reviewing today’s lecture on adjectival clauses in the Arabic language, but maybe ask what other classes he’s taking, what his thoughts are on a certain class (always a good question to ask even if you don’t really care… every guy likes to talk about themselves!) etc. 
 

Tip #2: Study Groups
Being in the same class gives you an advantage. When your professor announces the next exam, ask if he wants to study with you.  Everyone knows the stacks are famous for quickies and you can improve your grade at the same time!
 
Tip #3: If all else fails…
G-d gave you boobs for a reason.  Show a little cleavage and then go talk to him… I bet you he listens this time!
 
I hope these suggestions help.  Be yourself and show him what he’s missing out on. And if he doesn’t give you the time of day, he’s not worth your time.

Jessica lives her life at several speeds. She talks too fast, eats too slow and over-analyzes too much.  When she’s not telling long-winded stories, sitting alone at the dinner table, or staring off into space, Jessica loves all things creative. Screenwriter, play director and poet at age 9, songwriter and choreographer at age 16, now, at 23, all she really wants to do is write, help others, and post Instagrams.  As a social media coordinator for multiple fashion brands, and a post-grad writer for Her Campus, she gets to do just that. Jessica is a Midwestern girl from the suburbs of Chicago, but she fell in love with city living during a summer internship in the Big Apple, and now calls NYC home. Jessica loves chocolate milkshakes, dance parties, Chippewa Ranch Camp, Friends re-runs, Chuck Bass and of course, spending time with her fans (read: family and friends).
