Hey there, love-struck readers! Back with my 100% accurate and foolproof advice, and today, I’m giving you a piece of my all-knowing wisdom. As a self-proclaimed relationship therapist with a Ph.D. and a doctoral degree in psychologically able to get you noticed by your crush, I’ve spent my whole life studying human behavior and the mysteries of human attraction. Hence, I know and assure you that these things work in getting someone to notice you. Buckle up because I’m giving you all the best techniques to get your crush’s attention before Valentine’s Day.  Let’s get into it!

• The OG drop your stuff on the floor: Picture this: You’re strolling down the hallway, following the same route you’ve followed since the beginning of the year. The same route your crush takes that you’ve memorized. But today, you’re not just an extra; you’re the star of the show! It’s time to stop being a side character and to be a main one. Instead of letting your crush go by you unnoticed, take matters directly into your own hands. “Accidentally” drop the papers you usually never have in your hands, books, backpacks, anything if it’ll get their attention. This will not only get your crush sympathetic towards you, but they’ll also feel the need to help you. As you both scramble to pick up the mess, slowly look up at them while they’re trying to regather themselves and subtly (Keyword: subtly) tuck your hair behind your ear. It’s an oldie but a goodie. Debby Ryan was definitely up to something when she created this. 
• Find out their favorite things and make them your favorite things: One of the fastest ways you could get your crush would be having things in common with them. To do that, no matter if you and your crush don’t have anything genuine in common, you’ll make it happen. Who needs authenticity when you can have chemistry by association? If your crush seems to love Dunkin Donuts’ “ French Vanilla Matcha Latte” and you hate coffee and matcha because it makes your stomach hurt and it doesn’t taste good, well, now you love a French Vanilla Matcha Latte, and it’s been your favorite thing ever since you’ve been born. So what if you’ve never willingly bought yourself Dunkin? Suddenly, it’s your lifelong obsession. To make this fully work, you need to get it in their head that you were born with a Dunkin Matcha Latte in your hand straight from the womb. Convince them of your ingrained matcha DNA. 
• Stare at them across the room: Forget subtlety; actually, in this situation, staring is the new subtlety. This works perfectly when you have a class with this person because staring is said to be one of the most effective ways to get someone to notice you. (Source: I said so). Become a silent observer and be mysterious. Watch their every move, memorize their habits, and their favorite brand of chewing gum. Nothing’s escaping you!  The effective thing is to know their every move and trust me; they’ll be beyond impressed that you know what they do on a daily. They’ll be beyond flattered by the attention you give them, or they’ll file a restraining order. I don’t know the outcome for sure. I’m just here to help you through the easy part. 
• Follow their great-grandma on Facebook: Facebook isn’t the most popular app amongst youngsters, and believe it or not, people still use Facebook to communicate. Gasp! I know! In the age of social media, stalking, or as I like to call it, careful watching, has never been easier.  It’s pretty easy, start by searching for their last name find their family, and go on from there. Stalk their accounts, their parent’s accounts, and old posts from like 10,00 years ago, and use that information to your benefit. Head my warning, I don’t like anything, though. Liking pictures from like 5 years ago might make you look like a stalker. I’m here to help you get your crush, not to pull a Joe Goldberg. Don’t be a stalker. Anyway, with the information you’ve learned, make sure to search for their house on Zillow and start figuring out ways to get to know them better. In the end, think about it like this: if they didn’t want to be seen, they wouldn’t put their information right there in your reach. Just remember, there’s a line between curiosity and a full-on detective investigation. Don’t cross it!
• Act like the person has confessed their love for you: Delulu is the solulu or fake it till you make it as they say. Channel your inner acting self and gain confidence like someone who’s already won their crush’s heart. If you act like your crush has confessed to you and asked you to be their valentine, you wouldn’t stutter when speaking to them, and you would just fall for them more. It makes you less nervous around them, and it makes you optimistic because we’re always striving for the best. Focus on smiling like you just won the Student of the Year award, staring harder, and walking behind them to every class so you will get noticed. Who knows, man, maybe your delusions will become a reality. 
• Wear signature scents and clothes: It’s always easier to remember someone, especially when they have a certain scent to them. Leave a lasting impression and down yourself in some bath and body works perfume. The more smelly and perfumy you smell, the better your crush will remember you. They might cough a lot around you, but that just goes to show that they can’t help but feel sick when you’re not around, and they feel even sicker when you’re there, so they missed you so much they had to cough and get teary-eyed. It’s love in its purest form. 
• Laugh at their every statement: I don’t mean just cute giggles, I mean outright like laughing out loud. In this scenario, suddenly, your crush is a comedian. Make sure to LOL so loud your laugh echoes through the walls of the school building. It doesn’t matter that their jokes are as dry as the Sahara desert. To you, they’re the next best comedian, and you’re their number one fan. 
• Never say hi: Be mysterious. That makes them want to know you more. Trust me! Who is this cute, mysterious person, and why do they never speak or say hi? The intrigue alone would make you the only thing on their mind all day. 
• Be yourself: Amidst all of this, don’t forget to be yourself. You’ll be surprised how well that works. It makes you seem very honest and just well-handled. Always make sure to be yourself, and embrace your quirks. If you’re goofy, stay goofy, and if you’re quirky, never let anyone take that away from you! After all, if they can’t handle all that, do they deserve you?

So there you have it. Hidden tricks to attracting your crush before Valentine’s Day. All these tips are guaranteed to help you, not bring you down. Remember, being delusional is the solution. And if this fails, blame it on something else. I have no affiliation with you. Thanks for reading, and may the odds be in your favor!
