Getting to know someone involves shared interests. Find out what they enjoy – sports, music, art, video games, books – and engage in those activities together. Join clubs or teams, participate in school events, and be open to meeting new people. Genuine conversations, where you listen as much as you talk, are key to building relationships.
Remember, healthy relationships are built on mutual respect and understanding. Pressuring someone into a relationship is never okay. Focus on being a good friend, and if a romantic connection develops naturally, that's great. But it's important to prioritize healthy friendships and self-respect.
