You make eye contact from across the lecture hall as he leans back and yawns and you reach for your coffee. Fireworks. Electricity. Uncomfortable sweat pooling in your armpits. You quickly look away. Does he know you exist? Did he feel it too? Does he know that you are destined for an eternity of romantic moonlit walks on the beach? Fear not, lady friends. Here are 6 surefire ways to convince a guy to like you.
1. Play hard to get. Being honest with him about your feelings? No way! Guys love a chase. They want what they can't have, so make that commodity you. Try sending a text and then not responding when he replies, giving him mixed signals or overly aloof answers. Your ability to confuse him will keep him coming back for more. After all, why be direct when you can play games?
2. Don't have an opinion. On anything. Women with firm opinions, hopes and goals are intimidating! The last thing he wants is to be with someone motivated and true to their beliefs. Politics? Neutral. Religious debates? Uninvolved. Men will be attracted to your passiveness and feel comfortable voicing their own opinions knowing that they won't be challenged, because challenge is hard and relationships should be easy all of the time. (Bonus points if you agree with everything he says!)
3. Don't be yourself. Be the girl that he's looking for! Let go of all of your hobbies and passions that he dislikes, and pick up some new habits that he enjoys! He is going to think it is adorable that you are changing yourself into exactly who he wants you to be.
4. Bake for him. Everyone loves gifts, and the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Not only will you impress him with your fabulous snickerdoodles, but you will also be letting him know that you can be domestic. Total wife material.
5. Laugh at his offensive jokes. Sexist jokes? Racist jokes? Dead baby jokes? Hilarious! Even if you don't find his or his friend's jokes particularly funny, or god forbid offensive, don't speak up! This relates back to not having an opinion. You wouldn't want to damage his ego by shutting down his attempt at humor, would you? You want him to think you are carefree and easy going! So laugh along with them. After all, another day, another 77 cents!
6. Don't talk about the future. The future is daunting, and you should be happy and upbeat around this guy all of the time, forever. Career aspirations or the hopes of having a family of your own are best avoided completely. The last thing you want to do is let him know that you do more than think about the next party coming up. Keep it fun and flirty!
There you have it, tried and true ways to snag the man of your dreams. Following these steps will undoubtedly end in success. Now, go lock him down! After all, you aren't anything without a man by your side.
