Most girls like boys. So you want them to like you back. To make it happen you can try flirting with them. This can be very easy for some and harder for others if you try but don't go to school focusing only on this. This will help some middle school girls, but if it backfires, just accept that whatever happens. Maybe you both weren't meant to be together. Remember, these steps are specifically for middle school girls so don't try any of this if you are in primary school or high school.
Steps
-
1Drop a school supply on the floor. If you're in class and you get a chance to pick partners or your teacher assigns you partners just sit and help him out like a normal girl. If you have something that you can drop on the floor, drop it and quietly sigh or say something like "Oops," and when you bend over, look back at him and smile lightly. If he goes to pick it up don't try to let him pick it up and just make sure when you get it from him you touch his hand. But make sure when you drop the book or whatever it seems natural not like you’re throwing it at him.[1]
-
2Make him laugh with your sense of humor. Take a chance, don't be scared. If he laughs you know you're doing well. Funny life stories usually make the boys laugh, but be sure the story does not make you look bad.[2]Advertisement
-
3Wear nice clothes and add accessories. Use a headband or bracelet or even a necklace. What's in fashion sometimes, in some places: headbands with bows on the side, bracelets that shine, heart necklaces with fake rhinestones. Look effortlessly pretty!
-
4Try a little makeup. If you have a shirt that matches your eyes and makes them pop, wear it and see what he thinks, or, add a bit of eyeliner and/or mascara if you have it but make sure not to overdo it. Maybe he'll notice your eyes and say something or give you a stare that says "Your eyes, they're so incredibly pretty!"[3]

6Smile a lot and be nice, help him out whenever he needs it. Watch and see how he's doing on the classwork. If he seems to be falling behind, help him. He will appreciate it and appreciate you.
-
7Make sure to hang out with him and mess around, e.g., telling funny jokes! Chasing him down the halls is something you want to avoid. Do not give him a friendly punch, either, because it shows "buddy-ship" and no longer fits in the category of "flirting". but you can hang out with him and get to know him.[5]
-
8Pep up your uniform. If you wear uniform, do something to your uniform like add a badge or a brooch (not so big that it goes against school uniform rules) but just enough to show your style. And also don't be too upset if he doesn't like you back sometimes its just not meant to be but always keep your head up and make every moment count.
