1. Find a Common Interest and Talk with Him about It
Myself and my guy friends, we don't want our lady involved in everything we do, but some common ground is good. But we know when you are faking it, so you have to be honest on this. It can be any little thing, like good food or your favorite sport. There is something, it just may take a bit to figure it out, as there are many ways to get his attention.
2. Show Interest in Him
Such a simple little idea, but important. So many people, both guys and girls, forget this. Everyone wants to feel important, to feel that their partner is interested in them. And this starts right at the beginning, in courtship. You have to be genuinely interested in each-other.
***
Showing interest means actively listening to what he says, asking meaningful questions, and remembering the little details he shares with you. It's about sharing a laugh over something he finds funny or sending a thoughtful message about something that matters to him. It's these small acts that signal to him that he's not just another person to you – he's special. And remember, authenticity is key, so make sure your interest comes from the heart, not just as a strategy to win him over.
Frequently asked questions
3. Smile
Just one simple word: smile. I know this is what I have always been attracted to. Nothing is more powerful. A genuine smile directed in his way will let him know that you are at least comfortable around him, and that is a big step.
4. Laugh
Along with smiling, laughing is a close second in importance. Laugh at his stupid jokes, find a way to laugh at life, be light hearted. A sense of humor always says "Hi! Look at me!"
5. Dress for Success
This is a valid point in many aspects of life, but of course this is love we are talking about! And this comes with some research. Is the guy you are interested in a dress and heels type? Or does he prefer the girl next door with the jeans and sneakers? You might have to try different approaches, but whatever the case, most guys have a style they are automaticly drawn to.
***
When prepping your wardrobe, don't lose yourself to fit a mold. Expressing your own style confidently is equally alluring. If you're unsure, opt for an outfit that accentuates your best features—one you feel fantastic in. It doesn't have to be over the top; sometimes, simplicity with a touch of your personality speaks volumes. Whether it's through a signature accessory, a pop of color, or a classic look that flatters your figure, the key is to dress comfortably and authentically. That self-assurance is, in itself, a magnetizing quality.
6. Be Inquisitive, Not Creepy
Asking about my work, my friends, my life - that's cool. But once you start asking about my exes and what I may or may not have done with them starts to look a little strange. Everyone has their pasts and their demons, and of course with time you usually get to find these out about the person you are with, but the key word there is time. Let those questions come naturally.
7. Change Your Plans to Spend Time with Him
This one may come after you have already started dating, but sometimes can be in the beginning as well. A classic example of this would be the "soft invite" where you have already informed him you had plans at a certain time, in which he responded, "Darn, I would have liked you to come..." Of course you have to be the judge if the situation is real, or if he is just being polite. But making the time for him shows you are interested.
8. Invite Him to a Casual Gathering
The bar or a restaurant may be a little to high profile for this, where a backyard barbeque or neighborhood block party can be perfect. Something that says, "Hey I'm doing this fun thing and would like you to be part of it." Look for an event that is is easy for him to duck into, and out of, and see what happens!
***
When choosing the event, pick something that aligns with his interests; this way, there's already a common ground and an easy topic of conversation. Also, make sure it's a group setting so the pressure isn't on just the two of you. If you're both into live music, for instance, a local outdoor concert could be ideal. The casual, fun atmosphere takes the edge off, and there's less risk of an awkward silence. Remember, the goal is to seem laid-back and easy-going, not like you're orchestrating a date.
9. Know Whats' Going on with Him (without Looking like a Stalker)
If you are already Facebook friends this can be a big help. If not, don't bring up stuff he posts, because he'll know you were checking him out. Instead use public knowledge and mutual friend information. If you heard his aunt got married or maybe his kid won a big sports thing, that is great stuff to be an icebreaker. And if you bring up something like that, be prepared to let him know how you know heard. If you are embarrassed how you heard (gossip, etc.) it might be best not to use that topic.
Showing interest and finding ways to get his attention can be difficult, but hopefully something in this list helped. Once you do get his attention it is up to you to keep it, but that’s another story for another time! So, how do you get his attention?
