Getting noticed is one of the most fulfilling experiences, especially if it comes from someone you are also interested in.
But what happens if you are not getting noticed, and the cute guy you like hasn’t made a move or shown any interest?
Well, suit up because here are a few important tips to help you in your next social quest.
Dress to Impress
Dressing well is effective in almost all situations, but it is especially important if you want to catch a guy’s attention.
Even more important, you need to look confident and comfortable in what you wear. No one will be impressed if you wear that very short skirt but are constantly uncomfortable when people look at you.
Choose something nice and colourful that showcases your femininity. Men love that, especially if you showcase style and boldness. Dressing well will also make you more confident in yourself, which will make it easier to socialise.
Make Eye Contact and Smile
A smile communicates approachability and readiness to socialise, so strive to show that to your target audience.
If you are not too shy, make eye contact and let the gaze linger.
This instantly communicates to the guy your intentions and what you expect from him. Be careful not to linger too long and give off creepy vibes.
Three seconds is the sweet spot, and you can take it to five seconds if you see the guy reciprocating your gaze.
Be Accessible
Help him out! Sometimes your natural behavior in social situations might hinder him from noticing or approaching you.
If you are in a large group of friends, find ways to separate yourself from them to give the two of you a chance to interact.
If he’s part of your friend group, you can get him to notice you by sitting close to him or standing next to him in a position that would enable a conversation.
In essence, create as many situations as possible that would allow the two of you to interact, and you will have a good chance of being noticed.
Research His Likes and Dislikes
If possible, learn more about him. Find out about his hobbies, where he likes to hang out, his friends, and things he doesn’t like.
Sometimes, asking around about him could show him that you are interested in him, thus doing most of the work for you.
Social media will be a powerful tool for this step, as it can provide a lot of valuable information that you can use.
Additionally, if it turns out that you do not have much in common, knowing his likes and hobbies can help you relate to him and establish the initial rapport needed to grow your interaction into something meaningful.
Have Fun
Be yourself and show the world what you really enjoy. Virtually all human beings are naturally attracted to people who are fun, jovial, and positive.
In fact, enjoying yourself or an activity can present an effective way to gauge how compatible the two of you are, as his showing interest in what you like means that the two of you are likely to have numerous things to enjoy together.
Enjoying yourself could also mean even more attention, sometimes from people you never expected in the first place, which could help expand your social circle.
Make the First Move
If all else seems not to be working, sometimes it might be best to give the guy a helping hand and take matters into your own hands.
Remember, starting a conversation is not rocket science, and you do not need to have the most perfect approach in the world to get his attention.
Break the ice, say hi, and compliment something about him that you genuinely like. You can continue the conversation by talking about where you are and even the weather, and this should instantly get you noticed.
Know the Limits… Don’t Act Desperate
While liking a guy who isn’t noticing you might make you feel frustrated, coming off as desperate might make you feel even worse.
It is important to know your limits and recognize when you are doing too much. Gauge his initial response and reactions, as they give you a lot of information on whether he likes you back.
If he reciprocates your interest and appears genuinely interested, then it might be a good sign to keep going.
Do not be too hasty to make definite plans or suggestions, but rather let it flow by giving him as much opportunity as possible and only intervening if you feel he needs help.
It is important to present the genuine version of yourself if you want to be noticed and liked for who you are.
In most cases, you will need to do all the above things to get noticed.
If it turns out that the guy does not like you or fails to notice you despite all your best efforts, do not feel bad but rather take pride in the fact that you took conscious steps into making a connection with a stranger.
Communicating confidence, positivity, and a willingness to socialize will be essential not just in landing the cute guy you like but also in general social situations. Happy hunting, ladies!
