1. Show Interest in the Things He Cares about
Let me start by saying, don’t be fake. Don’t pretend to know all about football or how to play golf if you are clueless. Guys love to talk about their hobbies. Ask questions and try to learn the game. He will appreciate you wanting to learn about something he cares about!
***
Genuine curiosity can lead to shared experiences which are the building blocks of a strong relationship. Whether it’s his favorite band or a unique collection he's proud of, show enthusiasm. Remember, your effort to understand and participate in his world doesn't go unnoticed. It's the little things that count, like remembering the name of his favorite team or asking about his latest project. These gestures create a bond that keeps the flame of interest alive and flourishing between you both.
2. Show off Your Skills
Don’t forget to show off your own skills as one of the ways to keep him interested. Your guy wants to know and see what you got, so show him. We all got some kind of skills, so don’t tell me you don’t! I’m great at quoting movie lines and kicking butt in Scrabble. My skills won’t work on a resume or get me into the Olympics but they make for good conversation and a fun time.
Frequently asked questions
3. Sense of Humor
Guys love a girl they can make laugh. That doesn’t mean to laugh at all his jokes. He knows he isn’t that funny. Just have a sense of humor. Relaxed and enjoy cutting up with him.
4. Give Support
One more way to keep him interested is to show your support. Encourage him with his goals. Remind him how amazing he is and that his hard work isn’t going unnoticed. People always think that we women are the ones that need support, but guys need it too.
5. Look Your Best
Looks aren’t everything, and it seems like a step backwards in feminist movement to tell you to look nice for your man. Really all I am saying is take a little pride in your appearance. We all love the days when we and kick it in sweats and a pony-tail, but guys are visually stimulated. Another way to keep him interested is to look your best from time to time, at least.
6. Stay Independent
Just because you have a boyfriend doesn’t mean you lose the rest of your life. Keep your independence. If you were a hard working single woman when you started dating then continue to be that career driven person. On the same note, if you and your best friends met up on Thursday nights for drinks then don’t let that change. He is still going to have his work and time with friends and you need the same.
7. Relax
Guys notice a girl who is relaxed and comfortable in her own skin. Relationships don’t have to be pressure and you don’t need to put pressure on him. Keep him interested by staying calm and going with the flow of life.
We all know relationships take work. These little things listed are ways to keep him interested and keep you relationship from getting dull. What do you think of my list of ways to keep him interested, did I miss anything? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Ashley: I need advice, there is a guy who I really like, he is turning 17 and I am 15, we dated before but we drifted apart and now we are kind of coming back. He sais he is gonna ask me out but he doesnt, he keeps saying he is afraid of getting heart broken. It is so hard for us to do something together because he never wants todo anythings and our plans always have some way of getting messed up or canceled. He goes from frusterating to a guy who sais he likes me then back to frusterating and he seems annoyed. I have absolutly no idea what todo. He is also abit of a shy guy, but he hugs every girl that comes up to him. I just feel like I am one of those and he knows i really like him but what am I supposed todo at this point?
Chloe: I like this guy and we hung out last wednesday and had a really good time, we text almost every night, but it's hard for us to talk at school cuz we don't have any classes together. He acts like he likes me when we're texting and when he has to go he always puts a heart after he says bye when we're texting... but he doesn't really act like he likes me as much in person... I don't want to be clingy (we both already told eachother that we like eachother) but I don't know what to do cuz I really want him to ask me out but it's just confusing cuz I feel like I'm getting mixed signals from him?! I really wanna go out with him though!! What should I do?
Anonymous: I like this guy, and we used to be best friends, but as we got older things changed and we weren't friends for a while, now I REALLY like him, but I don’t know how to re-open our relationship. I’m hoping to hang out with him over the summer, since our summer houses are fairly close to each other. I just don’t know how to act with him, what to talk about, what to ask him, etc. My goal is to get him to kiss me by the end of the summer. Any advice? Help?
Anonymous: so i kind of need some help with a guy problem.. i really like this one guy who goes to my school. i pretty much only see him in the hallways and at lunch,because we have no classes together. we've dated once before, but i was so nervous when we dated before because i hadn't dated someone i really LIKED before. i pretty much only texted him and he texted me at that time. i don't know how to talk to him at school. i feel like it'd just be awkward because i haven't talked to him in a long time. i have his cell #, but i don't know what to text him about.. help please?
Honestly~Ems: So there's this guy that i really like and apparently he likes me back because maybe...uh... 2 weeks ago he asked me to this dance we have at school and he's super nice and he's really funny and cute but we barely ever talk at school. It's not that he's not interested in me but hes suuuper shy around girls that he likes or hes going out with and I can't pull off the whole 'make him feel comfortable around me' because everytime i try to talk or say something funny, i say something embarrasing or stupid. This is awkward because he knows that i'm more natural around other people. I don't want him to lose interest in me but I think that he's starting too. And i'm really laid back but when he asked me to go to the dance I got all excited and stuff. Uggg and then there is my best friend. Shes really nice and she cheers me up by telling me good things he says about me and i'm pretty sure that she does the same thing to him ...for me...if that makes sense..lol.. but I don't always want to rely on her ya know. Lastly I know it might sound corny and stuff but when he asked me to the dance, it brought the 'butterflies' in my stomach, the feeling I thought that I'd never feel. .. hehe so I can use all the help I can get xP thanks
