1. Act Flirty
Every guy likes to be flirted with! Face it. It makes them feel sexy, feel wanted and is definitely one of the top ways to let him know you like him! So flirt a little, give a coy little smile, touch his hair – it’s all part of the plan ladies!
***
Flirting with a guy can be a subtle way to let him know you like him without looking desperate. Flirting can be as simple as a coy smile, a playful comment, or a light touch on his arm. When you flirt, you let him know that you’re interested in him without being too overt. Flirting can also be a way to show him that you’re confident and comfortable with yourself.
It’s important to remember that flirting should be fun and playful. You don’t want to come off as too aggressive or pushy. If you’re too forward, it could make him feel uncomfortable and he may not respond well. Instead, keep it light and playful and let him know that you’re interested in him in a subtle way.
Another way to let him know you like him without looking desperate is to make eye contact. Eye contact is a powerful tool to let him know that you’re interested in him. When you make eye contact, make sure to smile and hold his gaze for a few seconds. This will let him know that you’re interested in him without having to say a word.
It's all about the little things! Make eye contact, smile more when he's around, and maybe find excuses to touch his arm lightly. It's subtle but effective!
Find common ground! Ask him about his interests or something you both enjoy. It's natural and keeps the conversation flowing without feeling forced.
It's best to avoid constantly texting or calling him. Give him space to miss you! Desperation often shows when you're too available. Stay cool!
Absolutely! Flirting is about playful banter and showing interest. Just keep it light and fun, and don't go overboard. Confidence is key!
Start small. Smile when you see him, maybe give him a compliment or laugh at his jokes. Your body language can say a lot even if you're not using words.
2. Compliment Him
For as much as guys love flirting, they love compliments too! Compliments are truly one of the most fantastic ways to let him know you like him and what you like about him. Like his body? Tell him! What about his hair? Let him know!
It's all about the little things! Make eye contact, smile more when he's around, and maybe find excuses to touch his arm lightly. It's subtle but effective!

3. Deep Conversations
Finding different ways to let him know you like him is hard work, but if you are finding yourself having deep and meaningful conversations, typically guys take that as a sign. If you’re on a first date with a guy and you’re just not into him, don’t you keep the conversation short? Well, one of the surefire ways to let him know you like him is to strike up a good conversation – he’ll appreciate the chance to get to know you!

4. Smile
Girls, do you often smile at a guy that you like? If not, beam those pearly whites at him! Not only will it give him a reason to approach you, but smiling is a great way to make yourself look your best. So flash that incredible smile his way!
***
Smiling is a great way to show someone you like them without coming across as desperate. When you smile at a guy you like, it can give him the confidence he needs to approach you. Not only that, but smiling can make you look more attractive and confident. Studies have shown that people who smile more often are seen as more attractive and friendly.
In addition to making you look more attractive, smiling can also make you feel more confident. Smiling releases endorphins, which are responsible for making us feel good. When you smile, you are not only making yourself look your best, but you are also boosting your mood.
Smiling is also a great way to start a conversation. When you smile at someone, they will often smile back, which can be a great way to start a conversation. It can also make the other person feel more comfortable and open to talking.
So if you like a guy, don't be afraid to flash those pearly whites his way. Smiling is a great way to let him know you like him without looking desperate. It can make you look more attractive, boost your confidence, and start a conversation. So don't be afraid to smile at the guy you like and see what happens!

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
5. Be Yourself
Never compromise who you are for a guy. I can’t stress this enough. If you really like a guy, you want him to like you, for you, not for someone you’ve made yourself into. So why not just be yourself? It’ll go a long way, I promise.

6. Coyness
I think that coyness is one of the best and most under utilized tools we women have. Men love when a girl is a little coy, when their a little flirty and when they shy away. It’s cute, it’s adorable and they like the chance to try to pull you out of your shell!
***
Coyness is a great way to let a man know that you are interested without coming on too strong. It is an art that many women have mastered over the years, and it can be a great way to have some fun with the man you like. By being coy, you can flirt without making it obvious that you like him, and it can be a great way to get to know him better.
Coyness can be as simple as a coy smile or a slight touch on the arm when you are talking to him. You can also use coyness in your conversations by asking him questions and then not answering them, or by pretending to be shy and not saying much. This can be a great way to let him know that you like him without looking desperate.
Another great way to use coyness is by being playful. You can tease him and make jokes that are just between the two of you. This is a great way to show him that you are interested in him without coming on too strong.

7. Invitations out
A guy shouldn’t be the only one that asks the girl out. If you truly like a guy, why not ask him out? I’m not saying all of the time, but a causal ‘let’s hang out’ statement, makes a huge difference to a guy!

8. Subtle Touches
Guys respond not to just how we look, but also touches. I’m not saying hang all over him, but subtle touches of brushing ‘imaginary lint’ off of his shoulder or brushing his hair away from his eyes go a long way! Just keep it clean and light and you’ll definitely make an impression!

9. Slip Him Your Phone Number
So you’ve been chattin’ up the guy at the gym, but gym time is over. What do you do? Well, slip him your business card or jot down your phone number on a slip of paper. That way, the ball is in his court!
I know that finding ways to let him know you like him is hard and awkward at times, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t push the envelope a little bit. What ways to let him know you like him do you ladies use? Do you have any tricks for us girls that have crushes but don’t know how to tell them?

Sarah: Also my friend went up to him and told him that I liked him but I ran away so at the time he didn't know it was me but now I'm sure he does
mer: Hey, I like this guy. I've like him for a while. And I don't know if he likes me or not. Like we will have "cute" or "sweet" moments like my friends would say but I'm just not sure. We've hugged before. And he hugged me. And once he said he wished he still sat next to me and my beautiful self in class. And then other times he will somewhat flirt with other girls. And then me and him will talk a lot, then a little. Then sometimes when I text him he Doesn't respond. But we talk at school. I just don't know what to do. When he looks at me he always looks in my eyes. But I don't find him flirting with me. I'm also an oblivious person, always the last to find stuff out. And there's also more things that have happened between us that you could call cute or sweet but I would just like some advice on what I should do. Or if I should even do Anything and try to stop liking him. Help?!
Need: Hello Heather! I have read your posts they seem very interesting. And you also give great advice. So, i have a lil problem that i really need help with. See, i am 19 years old. I have never had such a problem before in my life. I have studied in all girls school s. now that i am in a co-ed university, i don't understand guys. Yeah, i am pretty clueless when it comes to that. There is a guy in my class, his friend circle consists of the most cheap & obnoxious guys of the university. He is a pretty chivalrous guy & loves to disrupt the teacher. He listens very attentively & whenever we(me & my girlfriends) pass him in the corridor he stands aside & gives us space & tells his friend to make way for us. Whenever the teacher asks us to hand in the papers, and if we are sitting close to him, he tells us to remain seated & takes are papers to the teacher by himself. Once when we were standing in the corridor, most of the guys from my class were staring at me, which is something that seems to happen quite alot, he told them while smiling "Dont stare at my girlfriend".Well, the other time i caught him staring at me so i smiled at him, he smiled & looked at the ground bashfully. Whenever our eyes meet he gets all bashful, i mean, WHAT is going on? Now, whenever he is around he stares alot...he looks away when he realizes i caught him staring at me. I don't know what is going through his head? Please Heather, tell me what to do? I kinda like him but stopped doing so when i noticed he wasn't interested.
