Shannon’s Advice: He doesn’t know I exist!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Emerson chapter.

Hey Emersonians!
I’m Shannon Dwyer, freshman journalism major, and welcome to Her Campus’s new advice column! This column is for you, the Emerson community, to ask me anything that is on your mind. Boys, fashion, etiquette, friends, beauty- it’s all fair game. So ask away!
Sincerely, Shannon


The guy I like doesn’t even know I exist. How do I catch his eye on a non-creepy,
socially acceptable way?
                                         -Invisible
 
Dear Invisible,
 
You would be surprised by how many other people feel the same way you do. Some
people find the whole admiring-from-afar thing fun, but personally I’m not a fan
and it sounds like you’re not either. My advice- talk to him. Now I don’t mean walk
up to him and profess your everlasting love; that would be crossing into the creepy
category. Start by smiling and saying hi when you see him around campus. At the
very least his will get him to know you exist! Also, you can comment or like one of
his posts on Facebook in order to get on his radar. After that, try to start a casual
conversation at a party or while waiting for your daily caffeine fix at EmCafe. The
key is to build up the relationship and not to be stalker-ish- that’s when it starts to
become creepy. Good luck!
 
Sincerely,
Shannon
