Crushing on the class cutie? This is the 21st century – don’t wait for him to ask you out! Asking a boy out makes you seem confident, cool, and collected, and while it may seem nerve-racking at first, but it’s no sweat with these simple tips.

1. Find the right time and place.

Find your crush at a time when he is not busy and feels relaxed, like after class or during a study hall. Make sure he is alone. Things can get really awkward if his whole crew is around.
