Q&A for How to Attract a Man's Attention

Accentuate your mature side more than you normally do. Experience brings maturity, not age! Be genuine, comfortable, and engaging. Curiosity is a lot more important for a lot of older men, so asking a lot of questions and taking an active interest in what he's into will go a long way.

Definitely! Don't worry about breaking any traditions here; the old "rules" about the guy asking the girl out first is so outdated at this point. Some women will thin that men will be turned off if the woman makes the first move, but most guys will actually be impressed!

Many romantic partners start out as friends. Ask your friend out for a date. This shows your self-confidence and as well as your romantic interest. The worst he can say is "no." If he does that, do not force him or pressure him into dating, or you might lose him as a friend completely.

First, not all guys hide their feelings; it does nobody justice to lump everyone into one single-minded group. Some guys don't, some do, just as some women don't and some do. For the guys not revealing their feelings, some may believe it's not appropriate to express feelings and may find it harder because they've never learned to talk about feelings. For some, it may be about "being macho" (where showing emotions is equated to being weak). In other cases, reasons could include disliking sharing, lack of certainty about feelings, an unwillingness to commit to you, a genuine belief they're not yet in love, a personality disorder, and so forth. You'll need to decide what might be behind the reticence to talk, then role model a good way to talk about feelings that provides unconditional acceptance, including reassuring him you're a non-judgmental listener.

If you're interested in one man in particular and he has a girlfriend, you'll have to decide for yourself whether or not you'll try to get him anyway. If you try to break his current relationship, it may cause tension and hurt feelings, and your relationship will be starting off on shaky ground. On the other hand, you will get to be with the man you fancy. You'll need to weigh the choices for yourself.

If you and your guy friend are watching fireworks, lean your head on his shoulder.

Just be honest and ask if they want to hang out more.

Be careful and patient. Ask him if he would like to hang out as friends and go from there.

Sometimes you cannot tell. But, if you find the man attractive, just be honest and tell him you'd like to get to know him better.

Be sympathetic and supportive. Everyone needs support when a relationship ends.

Most of these tips can apply to a boy as well. Just be yourself and look your best, and if you feel comfortable, be a little bit flirty.

Just try to be his best friend. You'll know most of his problems and you'll be close to him. If you feel comfortable, let him know how you feel.

Discuss topics according to his interests.

Move closer and flirt back if you like. Who knows what direction it will take?

Try flipping your hair, or putting it to the side. This exposes your neck, which gets many guys' attention. You could also try biting your lip, or staring at them for a while until they notice.

Be the person who teaches them how to form bonds. Show them how to be more social, how to trust people, and to be friendly and open. If you do this, they will probably value your friendship and you as a person way more, which may lead to you being able to become more than friends, if that's your goal.
