Download Article

Snapchat is a fun way to keep up with your friends, but it's also a great place to flirt with your crush. Snapchat's filters make it easy to look cute in every picture, and you can easily show off every cool thing you do, which is sure to impress everyone. If you have a special guy in mind, there are a lot of ways you can make him notice you.

1. 1

   Be yourself instead of trying to be his perfect girl. When you want to impress a guy, you might feel like you have to dress up or go out of your way to seem cool. However, the right guy for you will be interested in the real you. Don't worry about pretending to be someone you're not. Take photos as you are so your crush gets to know you.^[1]

   • If you wore sweats all day Saturday, don't change into something fancier just to take a few snaps. Go ahead and snap yourself in sweats!
   • Similarly, it's okay to snap yourself hanging out at home on a Friday. Don't pretend like you're going out if you didn't.

   Tip: While you don't need to dress up for snaps, you might occasionally pick an outfit that makes you feel your best when you know you'll be taking a few snaps. If so, wear a flattering color to catch his eye. Pick a color that you like best, or go with a classic red. ^[2]

2. 2

   Highlight your eyes if you're wearing makeup for the snap. You don't need makeup to take perfect snaps, especially if you're using a filter. If you like wearing makeup, be careful how you apply it. In general, it's best to play up your eyes for snaps because they'll draw in the guy you like. However, keep the makeup on your cheeks and lips subtle so your eyes really shine.^[3]

   • If you prefer, it's okay to go with a bold lip and subtle eyes. However, highlighting your eyes typically makes your face look more alluring in selfies.

   Look at the camera so it seems like you're looking at him. You want to look your best, so it's understandable that you'd be looking at the screen when you snap your photo. However, this can make people think you're focused on yourself, not them. Instead, look directly into the camera so it seems like you're staring at them.^[4]

   • It's okay to take several snaps if it takes you a couple of tries to get the right look. Just discard the ones you don't like.

4. 4

   Play around with filters to enhance your photos. Filters are one of Snapchat's most popular features, and you likely already have your favorites. It's totally okay to send your crush filtered snaps. Just try to vary the filters you use so your snaps don't get repetitive.^[5]

   • Opt for filters that you think he'll like. For instance, you might favor the puppy filter if he's a big dog lover. On the other hand, the sad rain filter might not be the best option, since he might think you're upset.

5. 5

   Snap what you're doing, even if you're not in the photo. Photos of you are great, but your snaps might get boring if you only post yourself. Instead, sprinkle in snaps of activities you're doing. These photos show off your personality and are a convenient option for days you don't feel cute.^[6]

   • For instance, you might take a snap of you holding your favorite coffee drink, a snap of a trail you're walking along, or a snap of your baking supplies.

1. 1

   Use your story to show him what you're up to without being obvious. You probably want your crush to see how amazing and cool you are, and your story is the place to do it. Think about all of the things you want your crush to know about you. Then, slowly incorporate this list into your snap stories.^[7]

   • For instance, you might snap yourself baking, playing your guitar, hanging out with friends, going hiking, and playing with your dog.
   • It's okay if you repeat some activities. It's unlikely that he'll see every story. Just rotate them out so you're not snapping about the same thing several times in a row.

2. 2

   Add a flirty caption to a cute selfie. A flirty caption might help him think of you as more than just a friend. Pick a short, vague caption that suggests you're thinking about someone special. Just keep in mind that it may get attention from more than just your crush. Here are some examples:^[8]

   • "Tired of that single life"
   • "Wondering if my crush thinks about me"
   • "Looking like arm candy"
   • "Looking for bae"

3. 3

   Get his attention with an inside joke or follow-up to a conversation. Subtly let your crush know you're thinking about him by referencing something only he will understand. Use an inside joke that you share or play off the last conversation you had with him. Take a photo or write a caption that includes a hint just for him.^[9]

   • As an example, let's say you both like The Office and have an inside joke of doing Jim's shrug to the camera. You might snap yourself mid-shrug.
   • If your last conversation was about the newest superhero movie, you might snap your reaction to the movie or a pic of you wearing a shirt that features your favorite superhero.

4. 4

   Snap yourself with something you know your crush your likes. Your crush might be impressed if they see you have things in common. Learn more about your crushes interests. Then, incorporate them into your Snapchat stories. Here are some ideas:^[10]

   • Take a photo of yourself with your dog if your crush has a dog.
   • Snap yourself at a sporting event you know they like.
   • Show off your musical instrument if they like music.
   • Snap yourself reading if they're into books.

5. 5

   Show off your talents to impress him. You likely have a lot of great skills that should impress any guy. Make sure your crush sees how amazing you are by snapping yourself doing what you do best. Include things like the following:^[11]

   • The meal you just made.
   • A post-workout selfie.
   • A yoga pose or your yoga mat.
   • A top score on a school assignment.
   • The instrument you play.
   • Your dance shoes.
   • Something you made or built.

1. 1

   Limit yourself to sending him 1 snap at a time. You might be tempted to send your crush several chats in a row, especially if you're doing something really amazing. However, it'll likely feel overwhelming for him if he gets a bunch of snaps at once. Wait for him to reply to a snap before you send another one.^[12]

   • He's more likely to reply to your snaps if you only send 1 at a time.

2. 2

   Send him a unique snap that's different from your story. You may be tempted to send him your story directly to make sure he saw it. However, he might feel confused if you send him a direct snap that's the same as your story. If you're going to send him a private snap, use something different from the one you used in your story.^[13]

   • For example, let's say your story is about you trying a new restaurant. You might send him a snap of just the dessert with a caption that reads, "I found the perfect cake for you."

3. 3

   Show off your personality instead of trying to be sexy. You probably want your crush to see how hot you are, but sexy snaps aren't the best way to do that. Instead, give him a peek into your private life and leave him wanting more. He'll likely find this more impressive than a series of carefully posed selfies.^[14]

   • As an example, you might snap things like a drawing you made, you watching your favorite show, or you right before your dance class.

4. 4

   Include a caption or text to let him know the snap was just for him. Even though you sent the snap through direct message (DM), he might assume you sent it to multiple friends, especially if you have a circle of mutual friends. Make sure he knows it's just for him using the caption.^[15]

   • You might write, "This made me think of you," or "My face when I saw your story."
   • Try using puns to playfully flirt with him. You might snap a picture of you with a teddy bear and write "You make the school day bear-able," or you could take a picture of you flipping a light switch with the caption "Does this turn you on?"^[16]

   Alternative: If you're nervous about sending him a direct snap, you might use a caption that makes it seem like you sent the snap to multiple people. For instance, you might snap a photo of yourself with headphones on with a caption that says, "Drowning out my thoughts," or a pic of you with your dog that says, "Puppy cuddles = life."^[17]

5. 5

   Use the creative tools to draw on or add stickers to the snap. After you take a snap, you'll see the creative tool options along the right side of your photo. From there, you can choose to draw on your picture. You can also add snap stickers. Play with these features to make your snaps feel more special.^[18]

   • For instance, you might draw a heart or a bow and arrow on your pic to show him you like him. Alternatively, you might use funny stickers to make him laugh.

   Use private message to send videos, pictures, and short comments. Once you've exchanged a few private snaps, up your game by sending him a video, asking him a question, or giving a short comment. If he responds, keep the conversation going by asking follow-up questions and answering any questions he might have.^[19]

   • You might send a video to playfully suggest you want to see more of him or to show him how much fun you're having at the moment.
   • You might send a comment without a picture if you want to ask a question or want to continue a conversation that started with an exchange of snaps.

2. 2

   Send him an article from "Discover" if you need something to talk about. There may be times when you just don't know what to say, especially if you really like this guy. To make things easier, go to the "Discover" section and look for an article that you know will interest him. It could be related to something he's studied at school or an interest he has. Click the button to send him the article with a short comment telling him why. Hopefully, he'll respond back.^[20]

   • For example, you might send him an article about his favorite sports team with a comment that says, "Didn't know if you've seen this yet."
   • Similarly, let's say you see an article about his favorite band releasing a new single. You might send it over with a note that says, "A new song?? Must hear now!"
   • If he recently gave a presentation about global warming, you might send an article about climate change with a comment that says, "This made me think of you."

3. 3

   Ask him to switch to text or meet up to continue a conversation. Once you and your guy have been replying back and forth for a bit, you might want to take the conversation to the real world. When you're ready, offer him your number and suggest that he text. As another option, you might just invite him to hang out in person.^[21]

   • If you're sending your number, you might say, "I'm going to be off WiFi for a few hours, so text will work better if you want a faster reply," or "Here's my number if you want to switch to text."
   • If you want to hang out, you might say, "I'm going to grab a burger after school tomorrow. Wanna go?" or "My friend's band is playing at the coffee shop tomorrow. Wanna come and keep me company?"

  Expert Answer

  I think you should shift away from thinking about impressing them, because that could make you act in a way that's not really authentic to you. That could actually end up making the other person less interested in you. Instead, focus on how you can connect with them in a really genuine way that makes them feel comfortable.
