CAMERON DALLAS:
You’re attracted to
outgoing, adventurous,
athletic guys. Chances are
you have a crush on the most
popular boy in your school.
You like guys who are fun
and spontaneous and
make life more exciting.
SHAWN MENDES: You’re
into sweep-her-off-her-feet
romantic boys. The kind
who will write you poetry,
remember your complicated
coffee order and never
forget to text you ‘goodnight’
with three kissing face emojis.
ZAYN MALIK: You’re into
tall, dark, handsome and
~mysterious~ guys. They’re
super cool and seem like
nothing phases them, but
underneath that tough guy
exterior is a sensitive person
who’s a lot more emotional
than he appears.
JUSTIN BIEBER: Red alert! Run
girl, run! Ya boy Justin is a major
babe, but a massive player.
You find it hard to resist the
bad boys, and we get it,
there’s something exciting
about them, but they’re the
ones who’ll break your heart.
DYLAN O’BRIEN: They say
chicks dig funny guys and
that’s definitely true for you!
We don’t have to tell you
that Dylan has a heart of
gold, so it’s important you
fall for a guy who is kind
as well as hilarious.
HARRY STYLES: You’re into
beautiful, funny, talented,
perfect boys, but with Harry,
it’s not a crush, it’s a way
of life. Sadly, there’s only
one Harry Styles and no one
like him exists. RIP you.
and your bestie has to frequently
calm you down about it.
- You have a mental catalogue
of every single word your crush
has ever said in your presence. And
you regularly run through in your
mind, wondering if... - You’ve imagined your first
date, kiss, formal, wedding, children,
children’s children, picked out a
retirement village and planned what
WORDSyou’re going to say at his funeral.

The ultimate
crush playlist
- You can’t remember what
life was like before you had this
soul-destroying crush. - ‘Tomorrow’ is the day you’re
going to finally tell your crush how
you feel. You’ve been saying that
for five months.
Your guy type
according to
your celeb crush
The famous dude you’re
in love with says a lot about
the type of guy you’d fall for IRL.
Making the
first move
OK, real talk. You can pine away
until your crush passes (as in goes
away or dies of old age), or you can
do something about it. If you choose
the second option, you’re choosing
to give a potential relationship
a chance. Instead of wishing they
knew you existed, you’re making
damn sure they do. Remember these
three key points when building up
the courage to talk to your crush.
BACK YOURSELF: Imagine if you
felt about yourself the way you feel
about your crush – if you believed
that you’re as wonderful and perfect
as you believe them to be?
Well, it’s time to tell yourself that
you are, and to remind yourself that
someone would be lucky to date you.
You’ve put them up on a pedestal
and the only thing left to do is climb
right up there with them.
WHAT TO SAY: Gulp, this is the
hard part. In that moment right
before you say “Hi!”, you feel like it
would be less nerve-racking to sing
the national anthem to your entire
school wearing your ugliest PJs.
But when you do say hi, look them
in the eyes and smile. Be yourself
and talk to them the way you would
talk to any other friend. You don’t
need to change yourself, you want
them to like the real you.
Ask them questions to keep
conversation flowing. People love
talking about themselves so give
your crush the opportunity to do that
and ask about their interests, what
they did on the weekend, if they’ve
started the assignment that’s due, if
they’re going to an upcoming party
or concert. If the conversation flows,
then you have a connection. Once you
have that connection, you can build
on it with further conversations.
Getting to know someone takes
time, so don’t be surprised if they
don’t ask you out immediately. Take
it as it goes and see if your friendship
becomes a relationship.
IF IT DOESN’T GO TO PLAN: It
might feel like you’ve lost something,
but the truth is you only ever had the
idea of something. If they don’t like
you back, it’s important to remember
that there is no such thing as
rejection. Every person you like
isn’t going to feel the same way,
and you’re not going to be attracted
to every person who likes you. It
simply means you aren’t compatible.
Although it might not feel like it
straight away, knowing is ALWAYS
better than wondering. It will allow
you to move on and give you the
chance to meet someone who is
perfect for you. Now go forth and slay!
