Heya playa, when it comes to connecting with and talking to your crush having your school
close down was the worst possible thing. It created space and distance between the two
of you that has only hurt your chance with them. But, there is a silver lining to it
all, there is something you can take away from getting quarantined and having space
away from your crush. I'm gonna share what that is right after this. For those of you
that are new here my name is Josh and every single week, I make videos sharing tips, ideas
and stories teaching you how to be your best self so if you want to learn and grow, hit

single time you would go to school you'd see your crush in person. Whether it's in the
hallway, on your campus, in your classroom and you always had the option to talk to them
if you wanted to but you just couldn't really work up the courage to or you didn't know
what to talk about or you just felt like you weren't good enough to approach them. Well,
all that's kind of changed now. Your whole demeanor, your whole approach has changed
because you have this huge block of time before you're going to see them again. Getting quarantined
has put a lot of relationships and potential relationships on hold. If you were someone
that was building momentum with your crush, you've probably seen that flatline now and
things have kind of gone back to square one but for those of you that were in the friend
zone, that got rejected or just couldn't really work up the courage to talk to them the first
time, this is your opportunity to redeem yourself. Having this time to yourself is going to give
you the opportunity to work on building up the skills that maybe you didn't have before.
So I wanna walk you through three things you should be doing while you're here in quarantine
before you go back to school. Number one, practice talking to people that you're less
intimidated by. Look, I know talking to your crush can be scary sometimes. It's hard to
form sentences or find things to talk about so the best way is to practice with people
that you're less intimidated by, people that maybe you're attracted to or you want to get
to know but you don't have that blockage that you might have when it comes to talking to
your crush. Think about it like this, if you had so much trouble before with starting a
conversation or keeping it going with the person that you like why wouldn't you take
time to practice talking to other people? Learn about how to maintain conversations,
how to get conversations going, how to find interesting things to talk about. Do that
with other people that you can actually practice on so if it doesn't work out with them you
can move on to someone else, you can practice with someone else leading up to you eventually
talking to your crush when you feel more confident. Granted, the situation is a little bit different
now so you have no choice but to start those conversations over text but what I want you
to do is pick 5 people that you're interested in and want to learn a little bit more about,
maybe you're even attracted to and start talking to them. Start working on asking questions,
learning more about them, get into the habit of having more conversations like that. Number
two, take up a new skill or hobby. Something you can work on perfecting during this quarantine
period. So when you do finally get out of it, you have a journey that you can share
with your crush when you start talking to them. Maybe you want to learn how to play
an instrument or do magic tricks, whatever it is you're interested in dive deeper into
it because as you do that you're gonna work on building that confidence and that confidence
is something that's going to totally shine when talking to your crush. You can walk them
through your journey of learning and that's something that's actually going to catch their
attention because they're gonna see that you're someone that believes in themselves and that's
going to be a huge piece going forward coming out of this quarantine. And number three,
the most important thing for you to do is to look at this time as a reset. Maybe before
all of this happened you were friend-zoned or you ended things awkwardly with your crush,
well having this time away is going to really allow you to work on being your best self
so when you do get to approach your crush, they'll see how much you've learned and grown
and how much you've really changed as a person in a positive way. A lot of people are going
to go right back into school and do the exact same things, making the exact same mistakes
that they made before. And they don't usually have this time to sit back, reflect and change
their behavior. Well, use this time wisely, this is your chance to actually do that. Look,
I want you to know that deep down inside you already have the skills to be somebody great.
It's not always easy to show that and carry that forward when you interact with people
that you like. It's intimidating and scary but I want you to work on putting your confidence
on display. Use this time to practice the three things that I mentioned so that when
you finally see your crush you'll walk up to them and say "Hey, I think you're pretty
cute. What are you doing on Friday? The two of us should go out". What do you think though?
Before the quarantine and all of this went down, where did you stand with your crush?

topics you can start including in conversations so check out those two resources there, they're

whole crisis guys. We're in this together and I'll catch you next time. As always, love
and peace.
