Hi, I'm Donna Barnes. I'm a life and dating coach and owner of NY Dating Coach here in New York City. In this clip we'll talk about how to impress your crush. Well, the first thing is to really just be yourself. A lot of people when they like somebody they get nervous around them and stuff and they start to show off a little bit. Or they start to act tough or they flirt with somebody else, trying to make them jealous and they're all really bad ways to get your crushes' attention. You might get their attention but not positively. So really just be friendly. Be nice, engage in conversation, smile at them and just be who you are. And I think that your crush will definitely take notice of you, at least, as a human being and the rest can go on from there. So don't act like anything other than yourself. Don't be mean or nasty, that's not a good way. Just be friendly and start conversation. Talk about something if you know that they have an interest, and just smile and be yourself. This is Donna Barnes from New York City.
