10 Ways to Make a Boy Like You

Sure do love babysitting my neighbor's kids. Every night after I come home, I am brimming with stories.
The kids are 5, 8, and 10. Each are so unique and have the most infectious of personalities.


Last night, they were questioning me about my love life. 
"Sooo Kimberr... Who do YOU like?"
I was shocked that they even dared to ask, 
"Nobody, you know boys have cooties!"


After a few minutes of persistent pleading, I caved. I told them about a friend I have in one of my classes, and they listened intently.


"Does he like you?" they asked with wide eyes.
"No, see, that's the problem... How can I get a boy to like me?"


That question opened up an hour and a half conversation. Who knew 8 year olds could be so knowledgeable? They made me take notes of the ten surefire steps to "blow out the other competition".


10 Ways to Make a Boy Like You

1. Start playing a sport that he's interested in, and invite him to a game.
2. If he doesn't talk to you after prom, it's okay. Don't give up.
3. Let him make the first move.
4. Find out what his favorite sport is, and get him a signed ball by "all the best players".
5. On his birthday, bake him a HOMEMADE cake. None of that store bought stuff.
6. To find out his interests, favorite color, and favorite type of cake.. start a survey during Free Time at school. Walk around the class with a clipboard and pencil, and ask everyone (INCLUDING HIM) specific questions. Then you can find out everything you need to know.
7. If he likes the Percy Jackson series, buy him the Sun of Neptune. This is the way to make him fall in love with you.
8. Ask him what his favorite movie is, and if it's scary, ask him what his 2nd favorite movie is. For your first date... find a movie that you're both comfortable with (and make sure it isn't on Sunday), and go to his favorite restaurant for dinner. (favorite restaurant can be included in survey in step 6)
9. On your first date, wear a cute shirt, and cute pants. Or a dress. Boys like green, blue, and sometimes red. Make sure your fingernails are long and painted, and wear your hair down. Wear a lot of makeup, but if he starts looking at you weird then take some of it off (except lipstick). Boys want to see your true beauty, and make up disguises that.
10. If he still doesn't like you after all of these steps, then come back and talk to us next time you babysit.

Needless to say, I'm pretty excited.
