Don’t be afraid to be a little sexy. If you’re comfortable with your body, show it off. If you’re not comfortable with a lot of makeup, then you shouldn’t try to look like someone else just to impress him. Try wearing a little lip gloss, and applying it in front of him. This will make him pay more attention to your lips.
Just make sure that he wants to touch you too and that you’re not making him uncomfortable. If you’re getting close with the guy and just came back from a run together or some other form of physical activity, offer to give him a massage. If he likes you, he’ll say yes, and he’ll start to see how good you can make him feel.
If it turns out he likes you, then you can even laugh about all the ways that you tried to show him that you liked him. If he doesn’t like you, don’t despair. Be proud of yourself for working up the courage to share your feelings and move on.
Start by being friendly. You shouldn’t ask him to hang out or reveal your most intimate thoughts to him right away. Just take it easy and start building a fun and friendly rapport with him. Ease into the friendship. Don’t overwhelm the guy by always being around. Just slowly start increasing the amount of time you spend with each other. Don’t fall into the Friend Zone. You should try to be his friend, but don’t develop such a deep friendship that it’ll get weird if you try to take things to a romantic level.
Most guys love talking about sports. If you both like the same sports team or sport, you can talk about it; if not, you can read up on his favorite team and casually drop some facts. Use music as a common bond. See if you have any of the same favorite bands – if not, ask if he has any recommendations for you. If you’ve developed your friendship enough, you can even make him a CD of your favorite music to grab his attention. Talk about your families. Keep it light and talk about your siblings or any pets you have or had growing up. See if you like the same type of food. If he finds out that you love sushi too, he’ll be more likely to ask you to go to the new sushi bar in your neighborhood.
If you find something that the two of you can laugh about, then this will create a little inside joke and will make you grow closer. You can even find the same pet peeve to laugh about. If there’s an annoying teacher you both can’t stand, or if you both hate a certain pop music star, you can have a good laugh over this together.
You should get to know his friends, but make sure you’re not “always around,” especially during dude-centric events.
If he misses class, offer to take notes for him or to drop them off. If you’re picking up coffee on the way to meet him, ask if he wants something too. Just remember to not overdo it. You’re not his girlfriend yet, so you shouldn’t offer to do his laundry or grocery shopping.
Getting his number will increase the amount of contact you have with him. Now you can start chatting through text and can take your relationship to a new level. Once you do get his number, make sure that you’re not the only one calling and texting him.
