How to Get a Date in Middle School

For many kids, middle school seems like a weird time. You're just starting to get interested in the opposite sex, but may not know how to go about dating. Use the following techniques to get a date in middle school.

Instructions

1. Find time to spend with your crush. Participate in group activities with them in order to get some time hanging out together. Joining the same sports and clubs also gives you something in common to talk about.

2. Go to a lot of parties. If you want to get dates in middle school, you should be a social person. Hang out with your crushes at parties to see if you like each other.

3. Ask a person out through their friends. If you're shy about asking someone out, send a message through your friends. You won't have to deal with the awkwardness of asking someone out face-to-face.

4. Use technology to get a date in middle school. Ask out a person over the Internet. Get their email, AIM buddy name or MySpace page. Post a message to let them know you like them and want to go out.

5. Keep it casual. Once you do start to date, try not to get too serious. You're young and have plenty of time to get into a serious long-term relationship.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't lie to your parents about dating in middle school. You'll only get in trouble and may not be allowed to date again for a long time.

• Don't expect your relationship to last long. You'll likely break up often while dating in middle school.
