1. Pre-qualify your target – Obviously you don’t want to get involved with someone who is already involved with someone else. Also, if he is fresh out of a relationship, he might be looking for a rebound (even if he doesn’t know it) and you definitely don’t want to be that girl!
2. Smile – Nothing initially attracts someone to someone else more. By making eye contact and smiling, you are showing that you are a confidant woman. Guys are attracted to that, plus it shows them that you are interested.
3. Be approachable – Be aware of your body language and facial expressions. Maybe do a little flirting via eye contact and smiling.
4. Take it slow – Whether he is pursuing you or you are pursuing him, it’s important not to rush the situation. By giving the person space, you will make them want you more! Being slightly unattainable is a good game to play in the beginning.
5. Make him talk – When you are hanging out, ask him questions about his life, what he wants to do, what interest him, etc. Everyone likes talking about themselves, which means he will equate hanging out with you and a good feeling. Plus, you be spending quality time getting to know each other!
6. Show him you guys would be a good match – Invite him to go on a hike, or play beach volleyball, whatever is interesting and fun to him. This will show him you guys can be friends as well as have a fun relationship.
7. Make him feel important – By engaging in things he likes, being genuinely interested in what he has to say, and supporting him in his school or work life will make him feel important and he will see you as supportive person, which is crucial in any relationship.
8. Allow some time away – Whether your away for the weekend or want to have a girls night, leave him wanting more. Absence makes the heart grow fonder right?
9. Be thoughtful – Next time you hang out bring him his favorite little treat, or his favorite movie for you guys to watch. A little thoughtfulness goes a long way!
10. Be yourself – There is nothing more important! You don’t want him to fall for you if your not acting yourself. This will lead to a very short lived relationship!
