Catch a Guy's Attention

Almost every girl dreams of finding that perfect guy; but once you think you've found him, just how do you get him to notice you? If you are looking for that special guy to look your way, then this is the article for you.

Steps

  1. Be positive, but do not fake it. Smile and be happy. Don't be a downer all the time. Get plenty of sleep and exercise. Otherwise, he'll think you're always upset and he doesn't want someone to bring him down. He wants someone to bring him up. However, if you're feeling down one day, don't feel like you have to fake happiness. Otherwise you'll seem fake.
  2. Look nice. Make sure your clothes fit properly and you're in your comfort zone when it comes to showing skin. You don't want him to think you're high maintenance. Brush your teeth. Spray some perfume on yourself, but not too much, as you don't want your scent to be over-bearing. Just enough to where you pass him his face turns towards you. That's one trick to catch his attention. The most important thing in looking nice is that you like the way you look. Usually we are our own worst critics; if you even slightly like your appearance, you probably look great!
  3. Take care of your hair. Your hair doesn't always have to be down. If it's knotty and gross looking, then throw it up with your bangs down. Straighten your hair when the weather is nice out, or scrunch it when it's rainy or a bit humid. Experiment with what looks best with your hair; again, remember you are your own worst critic.
  4. Talk to his friends. When you're around his friends, talk to them, especially if he's around. If he sees you talking to his friends he might come over and join in the conversation. That's when you talk to him and find out about him. If he doesn't seem interested in whatever you are talking about, then bring up a new topic.
  5. Make him laugh. Crack a joke or two. Even if you know they're not funny if he laughs that's a sign that he's into you. Try not to be too serious; guys of any age sometimes tease girls they like.
  6. Don't be creepy. Don't find out where he works and go there everyday. He'll think you're creepy and that you're stalking him. Guys don't like that, and if he thinks you're creepy, your chances just went down the drain. Don't find out where every one of his classes are and follow him there. Don't stand at his locker; if your locker is near his, then that's a different story. If he asks then you simply say "my locker is right here".
  7. Don't act fake. This is the most important step in catching his attention. Don't have your shirt down to your navel if you feel terrible wearing it just to get attention or a really long shirt if you feel awful in them. He'll mistake you for being insecure and think you are miserable and desperate, which you aren't! Don't lie about how many guys you've been with, and don't wear something completely impractical like super shorts in the middle of Winter, he'll consider you outlandish.
  8. Be cute. Smile and flirt, but not too much. Don't over think how you talk to him; otherwise you might seem fake.
  9. Be confident. Give yourself a mental pep-talk before you talk to him. Don't worry about how you look or anything. Remember that he is just a person, and nothing to freak out about; be yourself, and if it happens, it happens.
  10. Don't over think it... just be yourself. This applies to almost all situations with guys. When it happens, you'll know what's right. However...
  11. Know your values and stick to them. Otherwise, you may feel bad about yourself; isn't the point of a having this guy to make you happy?

Tips

  • ALWAYS REMEMBER: You want this guy to make you happy! If it doesn't seem to be going that way right from the beginning, decide if you really want to be in a relationship with him.
  • Don't be clingy! That means don't text him too often, and don't follow him around. Have your own life away from him.
  • Practice good hygiene.
  • Just be yourself, and show your fun side.
  • A good way to start talking to him is by asking a question. Ask about homework, last night's game, a movie, or whatever you two may have in common.
  • It's OK to be a little bit shy, but try to come out of your shell around him.
  • If he's a shy person or particularly clueless, you may have to start conversations yourself and "force" them to notice you. It's hard for anybody to get the attention of guys who hide in a corner. Remember: If they're shy, they're just as scared of you as you are of them.
  • If he doesn't like you, then it is not a big deal. Just try these steps again with another guy. But don't try a good friend of his because if they talk and the "new" guy you are using these tips on might talk about what you are doing and the guy that didn't like you might mention that you've done that before with him.
  • A good way to get a guy to ask you out (if you don't want to ask him yourself) is to mention an upcoming movie or event you think will be awesome. Say you really want to see it. If he likes you, chances are he will suggest you go to it together.

Warnings

  • Don't always talk to him first. Give him a chance to come up to you first.
  • Don't act exactly like his girlfriend/ex. He will mistake you for a run of the mill chick, when you know you aren't!
  • Don't lose yourself in the process of trying to get his attention, then he won't like you for you, be yourself.
  • Don't try to be something that you're not. Always be who you are, and if he doesn't like you for you, you better drop him and find someone new.
  • When you think your boyfriend is cheating, ask him himself. Don't ask his friends because then, if his friends tell him about what you asked them, then he'll think you don't trust him.
    • Don't bring a friend with you if you are nervous because sometimes your friend may like the same person. Also, he may want to talk to you privately and your friend will also be left out of the conversation.
