How would the boys woo their crush? Would they try to impress her?

Leo's way of wooing his sweet crush comes in different forms. It comes in the way he strides over to greet them first, the way his eyes soften and his smile feels a little more natural. He tries to impress his crush with the way he carries himself, hoping to show how responsible and reliable he can be, but gives in with some moments that would show his relaxed, funny side (it exists, somewhere, just tug it out of him.) He brings them tea the way they like it, and also sprinkles in some flirting, would maybe try and show off some of his katas if they asked.

Raph's way of wooing is basically trying to be as appealing as possible; not necessarily in the aesthetics or physically attractive way, but in the 'I-am-strongest-and-greatest-and-I-will-protect-and-care-for-you' kind of way. He, like Leo, wants to show that he's reliable, but also more than capable of providing the best for his crush. He'll subtly flex in front of them, aid in making sure they're always comfortable, offer to teach them a few punches. Raph especially loves it when they sit in on his work outs or sparring matches, because there he can show he's the best match, and maybe, just maybe, he'd be good enough for them.

Donnie's way of wooing lies in his idea that good relationships begin with good friendships. He wants to be the the guy his crush would turn to for comfort, or to talk to. He always ensures that his crush is comfortable talking to him, about anything, or even just chilling around together. He does flaunt his intellect from time to time, making him a little more than prideful, but the sweet look his crush gives him every time he does just makes him melt, and suddenly he's a stutter-y mess all over again. Donnie, ironically enough, uses his heart to get the bae, instead of relying on his brain for all the answers.

Mikey would want to woo his crush by showing off all the things he aces at. Video games, weight lifting, pizza eating, cuddling, riding his board, solving word searches in two minutes, being able to maintain a conversation for hours. By showing that he's good at a lot of things, he figures the bae would see that he's the ideal boyfriend for them. He'd also cook for them, a lot. And bring flowers. And flirt shamelessly till they're smiling and blushing and leaving Mikey feeling all warm and tingly inside. Call him a hopeless romantic, but he will plan date nights long before he and his crush would even be a thing.
