Getting a guy to notice or like you involves the use of basic social skills. You should be honest, direct, pleasant, and reasonable. If you really like a guy, but you haven't really talked to him - you're dying to, but you're too scared - here are some tips to help you say hello.
Steps
Get a new look. Don't change who you are, just try something different. Try a new hairstyle, new clothes, etc.
Be yourself. Everyone probably says this, but it's true! No guy wants a girl to pretend she is something she's not.
Don't cuss. It turns guys off most of the time.
Smile. Whether closed-mouth or open-mouth, do it. It'll say to everyone, "Wow, she's a nice person!"
Flirt a little - not like crazy, but a little bit here and there.
Try to be around him often, such as sitting near him.
Show off a little when you're around your friends, but not a lot because then he might think you're just silly.
Try to make lots of eye contact - and when you do, smile! (Guys often don't look at girls in the eyes, so looking into theirs when they're talking shows them that you are interested in them).
Go up to him and talk to him. Try to get to know him a little by discussing things you have in common. You could even compliment him. Even if you just say he has a nice shirt or a cool watch; it shows him that you're into him.
Tell him how you really feel about him once you get comfortable talking together.
Be a brave person and stand up for who you are, and what you believe in. This will catch his attention, and his respect.
Tips
Don't change yourself too much.
Let the guy ask you out, make him come after you. Guys like challenges, when they accomplish or finish the challenge (asking you out and you saying yes) it makes him feel good about himself and like he has done something right and special.
A good way to start a conversation is to ask him a question - something about an interest you might have in common, or even what the time is. Make sure you hide your watch!
Sit close to him an touch him on his arm to show him you're interested.
Listen to him and don't interrupt him when he is talking. That makes them really annoyed and it's rude!
Act confident but try not to seem stuck up.
'Bad clothes' are those old pants you used for painting the fence and the sweatshirt with the pony on it.
Ask him out if you're sure he's interested. Most boys love it when girls ask them out.
Consider helping him out with other things like homework and social problems.
Make small movements with anything e.g. pen.
Wear shiny jewelry and bright colorful clothing.
Warnings
No guy likes a person who is snobby.
If he tries to do anything you're not comfortable with, tell him that you are not ready for that stuff yet. If he's cool with that, great. If
not, then he's not really the nice guy you thought he was.
Don't wear bad clothes when you decide to be brave and walk up to your man.
Make sure to brush your teeth!
Be sure to have gum, breath mints, listerine strips, etc. around in case you need to freshen up quickly.
Don't tell him lies.
If the guy is a jerk, but you find him attractive, don't let him take advantage of you. Find out more about him before you let things get too serious.
You can't get everyone to notice you. You cannot get everyone to like you all the time!

being a guy I have some ideas on this. the "ignore him" answer is a good one but it's also kind of a game and this asker seems to be in the situation where the guy hasn't noticed her. So ignoring might not be the best approach here. You need to get his attention. I'd suggest taking some time on your appearance the next time you know you will see him (or every time you know you will see him) and then just let him know that you've noticed him by smiling, possibly saying hi, or starting up a short conversation. Ask him something about himself. Everyone, including guys like it when someone shows an interest in them. Sexual innuendo is always a sure way to get a guys attention, although perhaps that's not your style. In that case compliment him on something. Tell him "you look nice today" or "I like your shirt" or whatever. When a woman says these types of things to me - I KNOW she's interested. You may have to do this a couple times. Listen, don't make yourself pathetic either because that's a sure turn off. Don't be too obvious. Like the answer that said "simple, ignore him" implies. Guys want what they can't have. So my advice is to get his attention then be a little aloof. You'll have him eating out of your hand! Good luck

You can't "make" a guy or anyone notice you. What you can do is start a conversation with him and allow him to get to know you.

Different guys want different things. Ignoring him works for some guys; it backfires with other guys. It usually best if you know the types of girls he had been associated before.

Be confident in everything you do. And don't be afraid to strike up a conversation with him.
