Try to find reasons to get close to him. For instance, you might show him something, such as a book or paper, or perhaps even a glimpse of your inner thigh.

Look into his eyes for 2-3 seconds at a time. Don’t stare at him because he might get uncomfortable. If you have trouble making eye contact, practice by staring at yourself in a mirror. Then, make eye contact with someone you really care about, like a friend or relative.

Don’t worry about what’s trendy. If you pick clothes that make you feel great, you’ll look your best. For example, you might wear short shorts or a skirt to show off great legs, sleeveless tops to show off your arms, or a low cut top to showcase your chest.

For instance, tell him about your recent accomplishes, your goals, and what you do for fun. As another example, let’s say an outdoor concert you both planned to attend was cancelled due to rain. You might say, “It sucks that the concert was cancelled, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun. I know a local coffee shop that has a live music on Saturdays, so I’m going to check that out. "

For example, take up painting, learn to play the guitar, or make your own clothes. If you’re still in school, look for clubs you can join that are related to your interests. For instance, you might join the drama club if you like theater or acting.

If he sees you out and about with others, he’ll be more interested in getting to know you. It’ll make him wonder what he’s missing. Post pictures of your fun activities on social media so he sees what a great time you’re having. Don’t sit around waiting for this guy to want you. Go out and live your life to the fullest, and he’ll be more likely to notice what a catch you are.

Say things like, “I wish I had more free time but I’m so busy!” or “I never seem to run out of things to do, but I love my life!” or “busy busy me! So busy, am I, all the time!” or “I am so busy, I didn’t even have time to shave my legs this month!” or “Oh God, I am so busy and it is affecting my mental wellbeing!”

Say to him, “You seem really stressed out. Do you want to talk about it?” or “Is everything okay? I’m here for you if you need to talk. ” Just say it out of the blue like that. No matter the context.

Say, “Can you help me with this presentation?” or “Will you help me assemble this bookcase?” Don’t ask for help with more than 1 thing in a given week. Additionally, make sure your communication isn’t solely about the help you need. You don’t want him to think that you’re always needing something.

Say something like, “This shirt looks great on you,” “Your presentation was amazing,” “This new hairstyle is sexy,” or “Great job in last night’s game!”

Say, “Let’s go play a game of mini golf today,” or “Do you want to check out open mic night with me tonight?”

Ask him open ended questions to get him talking. You might ask, “What did you do this weekend?” or “What shows are you watching right now?” If you talk primarily via text or email, be attentive by commenting on what he said and showing empathy when he’s going through something. For instance, let’s say he sent you a text complaining that he’s behind on his homework because of soccer practice. Instead of responding with an emoji or something like, “I’m behind too!,” say something like, “You’re such a hard worker!” or “Maybe I can help you study. ”

Say, “She always seems to be upset about something, but maybe that’s just how she talks,” or “Her hair would look so cute if she took care of it, but I guess it’s not important to her. ” Only talk about his girlfriend when he brings her up. While you want him to recognize her flaws, being too negative about her may backfire. Additionally, you want him to be thinking about you, not her. Don’t say anything positive about his girlfriend. If he brings her up, mention something bad about her or change the subject. If you can’t think of something bad about her, make something up, and present it as a salacious rumor.

As an example, let’s say he tells you they had a fight because he was late to their last date. You might say, “Wow, it’s a shame that she’s always trying to make you feel bad about something. ” Similarly, let’s say she’s upset that he’s seeing his friends more than her. You might say, “I can’t believe she’s trying to control you like that. ”

For example, host a game night with the guy and your friends, invite a group of friends to go bowling or play mini golf, or organize a trip to see the latest blockbuster. If you’re still in school, try to partner with him on assignments whenever you can. He might bring his girlfriend to group outings, and that’s okay. If that happens, hang around them and try to keep his attention. Alternatively, focus your attention on his girlfriend so she’s not paying as much attention to him.

For example, you could make Saturday your official date night, and you might also hang out 2 week nights every week. For instance, plan game nights, go to the movies, or go bowling.

Send morning and bedtime texts. Start a fun exchange like sending each other memes back-and-forth.

When you feel ready, try kissing and more intimate forms of touching. Don’t tell him anything you’re not ready for him to know. It’s okay to take your time.

Keep in mind that it might be hard to build trust after you get him to break up with his girlfriend.

While you likely want to spend as much time with your guy as possible, it’s not healthy to spend all of your time together. Enjoy spending time apart and your time together will be even more fun.
