SOS: How to Talk to Him

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

Let’s face it: Boys are intimidating and virtually every girl can agree with that, from fictional character Elle Woods to MMA fighter Ronda Rousey. But that doesn’t mean we should avoid them at all cost. I mean, how else would they be here? If they weren’t, life may or may not be a lot less complicated…. Here are some tips on how to talk to the cutie you’ve had your eye on for the last week, or month, or year.

Don’t Overthink It

It is so easy to make yourself a character in one of Shakespeare’s epic tragedies. To avoid driving yourself utterly insane and talking yourself out of doing what you want, just do it. Do not think so much about speaking to him. Remember that he’s just a human being with the same organs (well, possibly not a heart) as you.

Sike Yourself Out

Remember step number one, but go ahead, get crazy. You know you want to, so feel free to tell yourself all the possibly crazy scenarios that could happen if you were to speak to him. For example, he could tell you that instead of hanging out with you, he rather extract your brain and send it to Mars. Sometimes you need to hear how crazy you sound for you can calm down.

Always Value Yourself

Girlfriend, NEVER let a boy make you question your self-worth. Remember that you are fierce with or without him. Just sing “I Don’t Need a Man” by the Pussycat Dolls, take a bath, eat a box of chocolates, have a Netflix binge and call it a day.

Don’t Get Down

Regardless of how this play out, remember to not be so hard on yourself. There could be a plethora of reasons of why he’s not into you that don’t have to do anything with your appearance. He could be dating someone or could have just gotten out of a bad relationship. Just dust it off. Afterall, Fergie warned us boys just come and go like seasons.

Become A Pro

Sometimes the best prize is bragging rights. Go brag to your friends how you totally spoke to your crush like it was nothing because really… it is nothing. The easiest way to do something is to realize that things can only happen if an action has taken place. I think history has shown us that one too many times.

Point Park

Hey my name's Mira. I'm a student at Point Park University majoring in Mass Communications. I love all things fitness and film related. One day, I'd love to become a screenwriter. If that doesn't work out, I'd like to work in marketing and public relations. I spend most of my time at the gym or watching American Dad. I can't wait for #HTGAWM to come back on. Annalise Keating is amazing, but even more so is Viola Davis.

In addition to social journalism and media, she enjoys rainy days in the city, dogs with personality, watching The Goonies with her five roommates (and HC teammates!), and coffee... copious amounts of coffee.
