Be yourself - whether you're goofy, silly, crazy, or the coolest person. You've seen this advice before, and you'll see it again. Develop your identity as an individual and stick with it. There's no point in getting him to like someone you're not--you're only setting yourself up for lies.
Get his attention. He can't fancy you if he doesn't know you exist. If you haven't caught his eye yet, then get him to notice you. You've got to walk before you run, right?
Make conversation. Take an interest in who he is--what he likes, where he's coming from, where he wants to go--and show him who you are, too. While some guys don't like to talk that much, it's nearly impossible for someone to like you if he doesn't get to know you--unless he "likes" you for all the wrong reasons.
Crack a joke. Having a good sense of humor makes everything better. That doesn't mean you should be a giggling fool, laughing at everything that crosses your path. Rather, learn how to find the ironies in life and point them out in a witty and interesting way. It's much easier to like someone who you can have a good laugh with once in a while.
Do things together. If he loves rock-climbing, ask him if he can show you how, and make a good-faith effort to see why he's so into it. Have an open mind. Find out what you have in common, and include him in your world. If you love a certain kind of music, ask him if he's ever listened to a particular artist and offer to play a CD for him. Finding activities that you can enjoy together can really lay down a bond and further his appreciation of you.
Be an all-around great person. If you focus on being a clean, motivated, kind, and humorous individual, how can anyone resist? Some guys might be intimidated, and they're too insecure to be worth your interest anyway. But it's only a matter of time before a guy who can like you for who you really are will come around and see that you're an awesome person to be around.
Have patience. These things take time. You can't force someone to like you, and trying to hurry things up can ruin the courtship altogether. Give him some space and don't be obsessive. Let things progress at a natural pace, or fade out of natural causes.
Pay attention. Eventually he'll tell you one way or another whether or not he's interested in reciprocating your affection.
You need to have the time of your life
Try to find something you both like.
What if he likes someone else? If the guy you like likes another girl, don't give up!! If they're not dating, you're still in the game. One of the best pieces of advice comes from a book: "Forget about this other girl and start worrying about yourself, if you really want to be a contender. You’ve got to get in the game before you can knock out your opponent. So quit feeling sorry for yourself. Take action. Do yourself up; flirt with his friends. Make him notice you. Make him work for it." -Shug, by Jenny Han. Don't ever be too in his face though. This is exactly right; don't give up if he likes someone prettier, just knock her out of the game. Be more flirtatious or do something to make him notice YOU. Remember, if he tries to hook up with her through you, do something to make him think she doesn't like him (unless she DOES like him, then the best advice is let them date and come back when they're over). Be a supportive friend if he gets his heartbroken-- that way, when he's over her, he will remember that you were there for him. However, be careful not to become the "rebound".
DON'T be shy! Being shy will just make him think that you're not interested, and if he has an interest in you, and you in him, then don't be afraid to be a little outgoing. Be yourself, but have some fun with it!
When you're out on a date, let him be the one to make the move. You will both be more comfortable.
Try not to seem "obsessed" with him. This will make him uncomfortable or become disgusted.
If you really want a guy to like you, dont go crazy and always call/text him. play it slowly and dont show him that you're too into him. if you want to show a little hint, walk past his lunch table on the way into the lunch line for a few days. but not every single day, b/c it will become obsessive seeming to him. he will like that you showed interest, it makes him want to do something like that in return. Keep in mind some guys ARE SHY.Try to get them comfortable with you.
Some people prefer being good friends first, others prefer to avoid the "just a friend" zone. Ideally, you can be a little bit of both--a friend and a romantic interest.*
Don't obsess and follow him like a stalker!!! He will take you as one of the unattractive girls.
If you tell him that you like him, and he doesn't seem to care, he may really like you, he just doesn't know how to tell you. Either that, or he doesn't like you.
Definitely don't talk about how hot other guys are.That will make him feel weird.
One exception (to the one above) if he flirts with you, find a FICTIONAL character, like Harry Potter or Oliver Wood to talk about, (but not Daniel Radcliffe, because he's a real person). This will make him work harder for you.
Keep in mind that you cannot control what other people think and do. He may be the object of your desire, but that does not create any obligation that you are his. Turn the situation around. If there was some random guy who took an interest in you, is there anything that he could do to make you like him? Probably not. You will like him or not. You will find him attractive or not. You will find him funny or not. All he can do is try to be the best person he can be, and hope that you agree. The reverse is also true. Be the best person you can be, and let it develop--or not--from there.
Don't talk about your other prospective guys with the guy you're interested in. It's just not good form, and it's a good way to get rid of him.
If there is no sign of him being interested in you, that doesn't necessarily mean that he isn't interested. He could just be shy, or be a little frightened, especially if he hasn't dated anyone for a long time.
Show him the ways you would be a good mate, not just a fun moment. Looking nice and being friendly is important, but guys generally look for more than pretty and available in a long term partner.
It doesn't hurt to look good, dress well and have good hygiene. This will give you the confidence you need to flirt with him.
Flirt physically. Touch his arms or shoulder when talking to him, do it like nothing is wrong. He will like it and even it will motivate him to ask you out.
If he likes you, he'll ask you out. If he doesn't, he's not man enough for you anyway. However, he might not ask you out; if you really want him, you'll have to be brave enough to ask him yourself.
If you want him, just get him to notice you and then become friends first. Being friends first makes the relationship that much better.
You should compliment him once in a while. Something nice but not creepy, like "Wow, I love that shirt on you!"
To avoid asking him out directly be like "What are you doing this weekend" or "I want to go watch this really cool new movie called ..."
Also you could ask him "where do you like going on the weekends?"... and then say, "We should go there sometime."
Be confident, talk to him a lot, and make yourself the one that he talks about the most. Also try to "learn" more things about him... it can come in handy when you want to prove that you're interested in him.
It would be a bonus, if you both shared the same interests or doing same things. If he likes playing basketball, ask him to come play with you one time and show you his skills.
DO NOT be afraid to let him know you like him! Or, if he already knows, don't be embarrassed! Be glad, because if he digs you, he won't be afraid of rejection, thus making it easier for him to make the first move.
Don't act stupid.Some girls do this because they think it's cute or funny.It's NOT. It may just lead the guy to think you're an airhead. Airheads aren't very attractive.
Don't flirt with other guys, he may think you like them.
Say his name a lot when you talk to him. It lets him know you know who he is. Or, develop a nickname for him, and he may even come up with one for you! It is good to call each other by name, or create silly inside jokes.
Call him nicknames too. Normally guys like this and makes them feel safer around you, and if they like you, will be able to have more confidence when they tell you (if they do).
Tell him stuff about you, maybe he can relate.
If you have to be weird or something do that.
Don't act like a total dummy.
Don't play hard to get. That is the first thing you shouldn't do, that could crush his hopes of maybe being able to get somebody amazing like you and he might not try anymore!
Dont act all flirty around him if your doubting that he isnt into you, if you just be yourself, you'll find that he wants to flirt with you even more.
Don't act too available, but don't play games. If you like him talk to him, but don't be so available to talk to him that he doesn't bother any more. make them work, but not too much. If they try and give them too much of a cold shoulder, they will give up.
Try to confide in him and him in you. You could ask him for advice about something. Anything that will build up trust in a relationship. It is good to create a close bond and a feeling of security around one another.
Look him in his eyes when you talk to each other, but don't stare him down. He'll just get intimidated by you. But looking him in the eyes while he's talking lets him know that you're really interested in what he has to say, and that you don't think your conversation is boring. It also lets him look into your eyes, which he could find attractive about you.
