circles. You’re thrilled you got his number and both of you have been texting each other almost every day.
There’s no doubt in your mind that you like him and want to start dating him as soon as possible. Now that you have been obsessing over your new crush for the last few days, weeks or even months, the big question is, how do you get him to like you and reciprocate your feelings?
1. Give yourself some tender loving care (TLC)
Grooming is extremely important when you’re trying to make a good impression – whether it is for a new job or a relationship. Invest in yourself by buying good quality and well-fitted clothes for yourself that suit your body type. You need not splurge on expensive parlour treatments but do the basics like getting rid of unwanted hair regularly and going for a pedicure once a month. Here are grooming tips of date
If you have a desk job, take up some form of exercise like swimming or Zumba classes that you enjoy and push yourself to become physically active. Regardless of whether you’re overweight or not, exercising regularly will make you a far more confident person, so your efforts will pay off.
2. Ask him out on a date
If both of you have been chatting on WhatsApp or stay in touch through SnapChat, Facebook or any other social media platform, take full advantage of it. You need not follow ancient dating rules like waiting for the guy to ask you out. Some guys are just shy or clueless about how to initiate that conversation. So take charge of the situation and ask him if he is free to hang out. Have you wanted to try out a new restaurant or pub? Make the effort and ask him if he would be interested in joining you.
3. Avoid over sharing
Once you have bagged the date and managed to get his undivided attention, engage him in an interesting conversation. Ask him questions about his parents, his job and what he’s truly passionate about. Everyone loves to talk about themselves, so encourage him to open up and be a good listener.
Don’t hesitate to ask him personal questions (other than how much he earns!). However, remember not to reveal too much about yourself in the first date itself. You need not try too hard to come across as interesting or different by telling him something you would only share with your best friend. There’s nothing wrong with talking about your ex if it comes up during the conversation but avoid going too deep or showing any indication that you’re still not over the failed relationship.
4. Read more and stay up to date on popular culture
Don’t waste all your free time by sitting glued to your smartphone. Instead of waiting for him to text you, use your time more constructively by reading up on things that interest you both, online and offline. There’s nothing sexier than a woman who reads and is aware of what is going on in the world.
If you don’t like to read, watch more movies, documentaries and popular TV shows. With all this exposure, you will be able to have more intelligent and deep conversations with him which will help in building intimacy and keeping him interested.
5. Flirt with him
You need not send him too many emojis to let him know you’re interested in him. Engage in witty banter and when you meet him, maintain eye contact and casually touch his arms and shoulders while talking. If he is very attractive, don’t compliment him on his appearance. He already knows he’s good looking and is probably tired of being told that he is tall or has a great body. Instead, compliment him on certain aspects of his personality that you like.
6. Improve your texting game
When things are going great between the two of you, it is easy to go overboard and bombard him with text messages throughout the day. Avoid sending him more than two to three messages at a time until he replies. Don’t be the one to always text first even if it means waiting for a few days for him to initiate the conversation.
However, do follow-up with him on important things. For instance, did he mention he has a job interview next week? Make it a point to wish him luck and show some support. He will appreciate that.
7. Win his friends’ approval
It can be nerve-wracking and even slightly scary to meet his friends for the first time. Take it on as a challenge and observe how he is around his friends. Make an effort to be a part of their conversations and get to know his friends better. If you’re accepted by his friends, you can be confident that things will work out between the two of you!
8. Have your own life
Don’t always be available for him. Meet your girlfriends every week and show him that you have an active social life. No matter what, don’t text him or talk to him on the phone for more than a few minutes when you’re out with your friends. Make time for your hobbies and me-time as well. If he observes you have a life of your own and you’re popular among your friends and colleagues, chances are he will put in more effort be a part of your life.
