How to Keep a Crush a Secret

Almost everyone develops a crush on someone at a certain point. It's almost a rite of passage. The crush can feel wonderful, but if it isn't reciprocated, you may end up getting hurt. That's part of growing up, too, and you shouldn't avoid it. Have the courage to express your feelings, but wait until the right moment. Until that arrives, you might want to keep your crush to yourself.

Instructions

1. Keep the secret. You will be dying to share the news with someone, but, even if you tell your most trusted friend, you risk the information leaking out. News of a crush travels fast.

2. Drop your pen. Do not doodle your crushes name on notebook paper. Even if you do throw the paper away, someone can get it and see it.

3. Close your eyes. Staring at your crush when she is near makes it easy for someone else to see you have a crush.

4. Limit conversation. The look on your face as you talk to him may make it obvious that you have a crush on this person. It is okay to say hello, but leave it at that. If you have an extended conversation, don't try too hard to be liked. Just be yourself.
