If you haven’t noticed this behavior yet, don’t be afraid to lock eyes with him first. This is a great way to say, “Hey, I’m interested in you. Let’s chat!”

Start a friendly conversation with him by asking, “Hey, what classes are you taking this semester?” or, “Nice day, isn’t it?” There’s no shame in taking the first step, and he’ll appreciate you stepping up and introducing yourself (after all, he’s probably been daydreaming about this moment!)

Get out there and flirt back! Toss your hair over your shoulder, wink, or even go as far as a bend and snap—show him you notice him and like what you see.

Tell him you know exactly what he’s saying by sending a flirty compliment his way. Try something like, “I like your shirt. There’s something sexy about a guy in pink,” or, “I literally can’t stop looking at your smile. "

Give him things to do to help or, better yet, give him an adventure. Scorpio is all about living life to the fullest with the people they love, so ask him to help you build an escape room, plan a trip, or go on a hike—the more adventurous, the better!

Lean into his touch to say, “I like you too. "

Acknowledge his efforts with a compliment or genuine smile. This will tell him the chase is working, and you’re starting to look his way (as if you hadn’t been already!)

Scorpio’s passion can get a bit overwhelming at times, but thankfully he’s very aware of boundaries. Let him know when you are and aren’t free and stick with it. He’ll respect your space and love spending time with you.

If this behavior is creeping you out, let him know. Stalking is no joke. If he continues to pursue you in an uncomfortable way after you’ve asked him to stop, contact someone you trust.

He won’t commit to just anyone, so reveal your true self in return. The moment he can trust you, you’re in it for the long haul.

If he hasn’t reached for your hand yet, don’t panic! He’s probably waiting for the perfect moment. Remain loyal and affectionate, and you’ll soon see the wonders of winning this water sign.
