Make Your Crush Stop Liking Another Girl

You like a guy. Unfortunately, he likes someone else. Luckily, you have a chance of making him like you instead. It is actually more helpful for you if he already likes someone else. If you start out by being his friend and take the right steps from there, his attention will be off of her and onto you in no time.

Steps

Befriending Him

  1. Put yourself on the radar. When you form a friendship with him, it is okay to create reasons to get together. The more time you spend with him, the better. He may not be interested in you yet, but you should take this time to comfortably show him your personality and truly get to know him.
  2. Find out what he likes about her. This part is very important and only possible if you’re friends with him. Mention his crush in a conversation and see what he says. Don’t settle for answers about how physically attractive she is. There must be more to her that he is attracted to you and you have to find out what those traits are.
  3. Speak nicely. Don’t speak poorly of her. You may think that this will make her look bad, but you’ll be the one looking bad in the end. If you speak poorly of her, he’ll think you’re a negative person. Plus, guys love a supportive girl. If you’re bashing his opinions, you’re only hurting yourself.[1]
  4. Tell him his worth. While you don’t want to speak poorly of his current crush, you can start to get his mind out of that relationship by talking him up. Tell him that he’s the full package and that he deserves the best. Tell him not to settle and that he should go after someone that he is friends with because the relationship will be stronger if that connection is already existent.
  5. Be fun. While you’re still in the “friend zone,” it is a great time to show him your playful side. Guys like a girl that laughs at his jokes. They are intrigued by girls that aren’t always serious about everything.[1]

Turning His Attention to You

  1. Use what you’ve learned. While being his friend, you should have learned his likes and dislikes—about girls and in general. Use these things to your advantage. Show him that the two of you have similar interests in hobbies or activities. Also, show him that you have the personality traits that he is attracted to.
  2. Stay close to him. Don’t lose the friendship that you have created. This shows him that you appreciate him as a person. When he realizes that you are attracted to him, it will help create the image of you as “the whole package.” Men want to be with someone that they are friends with and are attracted to.
  3. Do not change who you are. While you want to adopt the personality traits that he’s attracted to, you don’t want to completely change who you are. Find a way to merge the traits that he likes with your own. This way, the relationship has a chance long-term.

Flirting with Him

  1. Dress to impress. When he first told you what he was attracted to in his crush, he probably mentioned a specific look that he liked. Try to mimic it. If he said that he liked a certain part of her body, try to accentuate yours through your outfit. Guys are undoubtedly attracted by looks, so make yourself appealing to him.[2]
  2. Interact with him. Make your conversations flirty. Lean into him more when the two of you talk, keep laughing at his jokes, and create a physical connection. You can touch his shoulder when you’re laughing, take his hand to lead him somewhere, or run your hand through his hair and comment on how nice it is.
  3. Compliment his body. He will love your compliments because he’ll trust you, as a friend, that they are genuine. Also, it will show him that you notice his physical appearance. When you compliment him, he may feel the need to give one back, which gets him looking at you.

Tips

  • Continue flirting with him, and holding your friendship until he sees how great you are.
  • If he still seems interested in her, you may have to wait. Let him try something out with her. Stay his friend, and eventually, he’ll come back to you.
  • Don't act desperate. It's often a major turn off to most guys. Act yourself, and if he doesn't seem interested, stop. You risk ruining the friendship that you currently/will have.
  • If he tried something with the other girl be there to support him when he is sad. He will then see how concerned you are for him, then he will like you.
  • Don't be the hater on their relationship, because even if he likes someone else, the relationship might not work. So maybe when it doesn't work it you'll be his second choice, but not with a bad talking about the relationship or he'll turn to someone else.
  • Always support your crush. Let him have the things that he wants or needs, even if you just do not want or need that thing. Fight with others to let him be comfortable, even if you have to fight with your BFF's.
