Dear Anonymous,

It’s a tough feeling when someone you like doesn’t feel the same, it truly is. However there are a few things you can do to get that special someone to notice you. Maybe try to find out what they like and don’t like. If you discover that you have things in common you can try to start a conversation and maybe it could evolve into a friendship and from there its up to you to decide what happens after that. It’s important to understand though that sometimes it’s just not meant to be, so try not to get your hopes up too early on in getting to know this person.

However, if that doesn’t work out for you then you could try to highlight what you think are your best qualities around this special someone. For instance, if you think you’re particularly comedic then you can try to make them laugh it up and really show them a good time! Or if you don’t think you have any special qualities to strut then you can just try to be excessively nice, just kill them with kindness!

If these tactics haven’t worked to your advantage then you’re just going to have to be yourself. Just try being yourself and see what happens. Sometimes the only thing people want is someone genuine, that’s not afraid to be themselves.

However if worse comes to worst and they still don’t seem to show any interest in you, then you will just have to take your lumps. At some point you just have to wonder whether this person is even worth the hassle. Sometimes its just not meant to be and you’re going to have to be able to accept that fact. If enough time has passed and they still just don’t seem to be showing any affection then you will just have to move on and try to be content with the fact that you tried your best to find that special someone.
