Chasing after a crush is never easy. We have to be careful not to make it so obvious that we lose our dignity that forces us to never leave the house EVER again, yet we have to make some kind of move to ensure that we win the guy of our dreams.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a bit of a catch 22 situation, but fortunately there are ways out of this conundrum. Let\u2019s take a look at how to hook the man of your dreams without appearing desperate.<\/p>\n
Always Keep Your Confidence<\/b><\/p>\n
Confidence is so important whenever you\u2019re trying anything in life. You need confidence when you apply for a job, confidence on your first day at work \u2013 and confidence when you\u2019re chasing your crush.<\/p>\n
When you suffer a setback when chasing your crush, it\u2019s important that you retain your super high confidence. If you smile at him from across the office but he doesn\u2019t smile back, don\u2019t backtrack and act as though you were smiling at the person behind him. Continue to act normal. And NEVER look really disappointed to the point of tears. This won\u2019t be cool.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t Lie About Stuff<\/b><\/p>\n
Things can get really awkward if your crush has different interests to you. Sure, you fancy the pants off the guy, but you know that you don\u2019t really dig any of his interests.<\/p>\n
At this point, it can be really easy to lie about your interests and pretend that you like the same stuff as him. But this really doesn\u2019t wash, especially when he asks which songs you like by Metallica.<\/p>\n
Instead, you need to be yourself and be honest about your interests. Remember, opposites often attract and it\u2019s not necessary for a couple to have the exact same hobbies.<\/p>\n
Go Easy On The Texting<\/b><\/p>\n
Once he gives you his number, it can be easy to assume that you\u2019re in. You kinda are, but there are still boundaries you need to be wary of.<\/p>\n
And one of these boundaries is that you don\u2019t text him too much. If he gives you a few one word answers, or if he doesn\u2019t reply at all, don\u2019t try to keep the conversation going. Leave him be. If he\u2019s interested, he will eventually get back to you. If he isn\u2019t, you should just move on before you lose all your dignity with the trying-to-be-funny-but-you\u2019re-actually-a-psycho \u201cWHY DO YOU NEVER TEXT BACK HAHAHA!\u201d line.<\/p>\n
Turn The Tables And Let Him Chase YOU<\/b><\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve been giving him a few signals that he doesn\u2019t seem to be seeing, you might be about to reach that point where you lose your last shred of dignity. Instead, we suggest that you hang fire for a bit and turn the tables by letting him come after you.<\/p>\n
This is an interesting tactic that sometimes works. He might have been playing hard to get and seeing how far you\u2019ll go; by downing your weapons and doing nothing, he might start chasing you!<\/p>\n
Or he might not. Hey, men are from mars, women are from venus \u2026<\/p>\n
Play With Your Hair<\/b><\/p>\n
Guys love girls with luscious, long hair. They can\u2019t get enough of it. To catch his attention without doing anything extravagant, you could rely on the old trick of playing with your hair while talking to him. Simple and super effective!<\/p>\n
Flirt With Him<\/b><\/p>\n
Flirting with your crush is certainly not a sign of desperation, and it\u2019s a necessary tactic to let him know you\u2019re interested. Of course, too much flirting can be a sign of desperation, so you need to be disciplined and keep your head.<\/p>\n
But flirting is fun, so you should relax and have a bit of fun with him. Make him laugh, make fun of him, and hit him with some banter.<\/p>\n
Just avoid sensitive subjects whenever you\u2019re making a joke.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s Probably Best That You Avoid Social Media Altogether<\/b><\/p>\n
When you\u2019re crushing on a guy, you inevitably retreat to Facebook to find out what he\u2019s up to and swoon over his photographs.<\/p>\n
As well as this, it can be very tempting to make desperate statuses, plaster his wall with comments and like everything he ever posts. Yes, it\u2019s a way to get his attention but it isn\u2019t very subtle. It can also lead to bitter cat-calling with girls you perceive as your rivals.<\/p>\n
When in actual fact they\u2019re his mom and sister.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t go insane: stay away from Facebook when you\u2019re crushing.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t Suggest A Million Plans<\/b><\/p>\n
Let\u2019s say you\u2019ve invited your crush to go and see a gig with you. You asked him really cooly if he\u2019d be up for it.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo problem if you can\u2019t make it,\u201d you say. Smooth!<\/p>\n
But then he says he actually can\u2019t make it, which is NOT what you expected. In a panic, you suggest something else on another date that he might be able to make. And if that is no good for him too, you even suggest a THIRD thing on yet another date.<\/p>\n
No, this is not cool. This is desperation. If he can\u2019t make something, leave it at that. Do some knitting or something.<\/p>\n
Remember To Say No<\/b><\/p>\n
It\u2019s all too easy to turn into an eager beaver whenever we\u2019re crushing with someone. We\u2019re so weak at the knees that we say \u201cyes\u201d to everything they say and ask.<\/p>\n
But this can lead to a lot of trouble. Instead of being so eager to please your crush, relax and admit that there are things you disagree on. It will make you seem less desperate, and it might also inspire him to try to win you round to something \u2013 which is always interesting.<\/p>\n
Compliment Him<\/b><\/p>\n
Complimenting someone can actually be harder than you might think. The key to complimenting your crush is not to go overboard. Just let him know that you like him by telling him he\u2019s got great eyes, hair or a even a great smile.<\/p>\n
Just avoid the creepy stuff, such as \u201cyou looked great last night\u201d even though you weren\u2019t with him last night.<\/p>\n
(You were in the bushes, but don\u2019t tell him that)<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t overload him with compliments, either. One or two are enough.<\/p>\n
