How To Talk To Your Crush at School When You’re Online Learning

Are you trying to figure out how to talk to your crush in school and maybe even ask them out but right now your school is hybrid learning or online?
This whole pandemic situation has changed how schools operate.
Because of that change, it’s now way more difficult to approach someone that you like and start talking to them. You might be thinking there’s no way for you to really interact with your crush because you only see them in your Zoom class and you don’t really know how to talk to them. Well, here’s what you should do.
Do this if you are learning fully online
If you’re in a completely online learning environment right now, try to see if you have access to your classroom roster. This is a list of all the different students in your class along with their potential school emails. If you have access to that school email, that’s going to be a key piece here.
You’re probably low on potential connections to that person. Especially if you’re starting a new grade or a new school and this is a new class of people you’ve never talked to before. What I want you to do is to take a few people in that class, maybe 4 or 5. Make sure one of them is your crush, the person you want to get closer to, send them all an email saying something like:
“Hey, I noticed we’re all in the same class and it would be really cool if we could form a study group together. Here’s my Instagram, email me back with your Instagram so we can form a group chat”.
What you’ve done is create an opportunity to take it from a very impersonal school email environment to a more personal Instagram environment. And once you get their Instagram handles, follow them, start liking a few of their posts, create a group chat so you can start to interact with those people more.
The reason why I suggest asking a few different people in your class and not just your crush is that if you’re sending out a single email to your crush asking for their Instagram handle it’s gonna come off kind of weird and impersonal. They’re gonna wonder “who are you and why would I give this to you?”. But, if it’s in the context of getting a few people together from the class to get to know…
