Article: It’s so simple, and yet it is so effective. A smile immediately opens the door to a conversation. More than likely, she will smile back at you too. Smiling is very inviting and attractive. Don’t stare at her constantly and freak her out, but make sure she knows you are looking at her. If you make eye contact, smile and hold it for a second, then look away. This will let her know that you are into her, and she will be more likely to notice you.  Some say maintaining eye contact 50 % of the time while talking and 70 % of the time while listening is a good balance. Obviously there is no exact calculation, but it is a good idea to make eye contact early and often and maintain it for at least four or five seconds.  For example, try to make eye contact with her periodically while you joke around and hang out with your friends. If you can catch her eye while you are smiling and laughing with your friends she'll be more likely to notice you. She'll see you are having a good time and that you are the life of the party. This is true for both genders.. If you come off seeming sociable and confident by taking up a lot of space in the room and engaging with many different people, you are much more likely to be noticed. If you’re shy and standing in the corner you aren’t doing yourself many favors. You need to be brave and put yourself out there.  Even if you aren’t very brave, this can be an easier way to get noticed. Your friends are probably the people you feel most comfortable around. Joking with them is much easier than making conversation with the person you want to notice you. Some studies show that people think more highly of and are more responsive to you when you strike power poses. Power poses are stances in which your body is open to the group, rather than hunched or contracted. You need to be in a position where she can see you if you want to attract her attention. Stand in her line of sight at a bar or hang out near her. If you go to school with her, try walking past her in the hallway or talking to her teacher. This can at least make her acknowledge you, if only for a second. Sometimes it can be nerve wracking to talk directly to the person that you are attracted to. However, talking to other people around her while you are in a group is a good way to get her to notice you. If you are friends with some or one of her friends, you could talk to this person while they are with her. You could even ask this person to introduce the two of you. For example, if you know someone that she is talking to come up and enter the conversation by talking to that person. Then, once you reach a break in the conversation, you can introduce yourself to her without any awkwardness. It’s been shown that female hitchhikers are much more likely to be picked up if they are wearing red. It has to do with the way our brains respond to sensory cues. Consider ditching your grey sweater and wearing some brighter clothing.

Article: Think about your current state of mind and life circumstances and ask yourself if your romantic feelings might be caused by these factors. Sometimes life events can cause people to seek comfort, stability, excitement, or validation from other people in our lives who they don't genuinely want to be with. Avoid pursuing a relationship with your best friend if you might be using them to feel better. For instance, you may seek comfort and distraction in a romance with your best friend after a death in the family. Take things slowly in your new relationship so that you can both figure out your feelings without distractions. Romantic touching and sexual contact can blur the lines of a relationship and confuse boundaries. Try to let your physical relationship evolve naturally out of genuine chemistry and affection. Acting on physical urges too soon may make the situation awkward or increase the intensity of your relationship very quickly. Moving slowly is a good way of avoiding confusing hot-and-cold behaviour. Making a grand romantic move one week, then acting like a casual buddy the next will leave your friend unsure of your feelings. Take things slow and gradually build up to bigger gestures or commitments so you won't be overwhelmed by the situation. For instance, don't show up to your friend's workplace with flowers one day and introduce them to colleagues as your "buddy" a few days later. Taking things to the next level with your best friend can reinforce an already strong bond, making it tempting to spend all of your time with them. Take some time apart to pursue your own interests and to make sure that you get the chance to miss each other. This will make you appreciate each other even more while reducing the risk of becoming annoying to each other. For example, take time to visit with other friends or spend some quiet time alone at home.

Make sure that your motivations are pure and not temporary. Avoid getting physically intimate until you are sure of your chemistry. Be consistent about your romantic advances to avoid confusion. Give each other space sometimes to avoid getting tired of each other.
