Q&A for How to Make a Man Fall in Love with You

Show him that you're kind and considerate to everyone. You can't truly make someone fall in love with you, but you can show him that you're a kind and thoughtful person, a great listener, that you ask good questions.

Consider all the possible outcomes of dating your flatmate. If your dating relationship doesn’t work out, do you think you both could still continue being flatmates? Would living together be too much of a strain on a new dating relationship? If the age difference has you worried, consider how much age will truly impact your dating. Also consider how compatible you are together, your temperament, values, interests, and priorities. If these all seem to be a close match, then age shouldn’t matter so much.

The only way to know for sure it to talk with him about it. No need to spend time and energy trying to guess at what he means when he says something ambiguous. Find a good time to chat with him, tell him how you’ve been feeling, and ask him if he feels the same way. For example, “I have really enjoyed getting to know you over the past few months, and I am interested in pursuing a dating relationship with you. I thought you might feel the same way, but wasn’t sure. Are you interesting in going out to dinner sometime?

Start loving yourself. Practice self-care. Tell yourself positive things whenever you feel negative emotions. Once you love yourself, you'll find that plenty of other people love you too.

You don't need to do anything. You're beautiful the way you are. And if he can't see that, move on––he's not worth it.

Tell them that nothing is going to happen between the two of you until they break up with their girlfriend. If they're serious about you, they'll do it.

It depends on how exactly he's acting. It would probably be best to ask him what he needs. Say something like, "I've noticed you've been a little distance lately. Do you need me to give you some space?"

Just be patient and give him time. You can't really force anybody to love you.

Talk to them about it. Tell them how you feel and ask them if they still want to be in the relationship. Maybe there's something else going on that has nothing to do with you. The only way to know for sure is to have a conversation about it.

It's possible that a person could fall in love with you after getting to know you better, but if you expressed your interest in this person and they said they just want to be friends, you should just take them at their word and not waste your time hoping for something more.

Then it's probaly not a good match. If you two don't really have anything in common, you could try to like the things he likes, as you never know, it might influence you to enjoy something new. However, if there is nothing shared, the relationship has less to make it endure and last long-term.

You can't. If the person you like already likes someone else, you need to accept that and move on.

Find a new guy. If the guy you like is criticizing your appearance, especially something you have no control over, he's not worth your time.

Tell him how you feel. Make sure to let him know that you still want to be friends regardless of how he feels about you. Maybe he likes you too. You'll never know if you don't talk to him about it.

Maybe you should try just being friends for a while and getting to know each other better. It sounds like neither of you are ready for a relationship, but that doesn't mean you can't hang out casually while you're working through things.

Try to make friends with his friends. This way you'll become part of the group and get to know him better. Once you're friends with him, you can find subtle ways to let him know you're interested.

You can't get fit in one day, it takes time. If you want your crush to love you, try some of the tips in the article. Your first step should be talking to him and trying to flirt subtly so that he knows you're interested.

Don't try too hard. For now, just hang around him and be his friend. Show him what a great person you are. If he's already in a relationship, don't try to come between them, as this will only make him resent you. Just make yourself a presence he can count on and see where it goes.

Write him love letters (send them through the post, it's cute and old fashioned), send him texts and cute pictures of you, FaceTime with him, etc. (but don't bombard him with calls and texts every second, guys need space). Tell him how you feel about him, and try to bond over similar interests. This will give you the best chance at having him fall in love with you.

It's unlikely that this would happen, especially if the person already knew you and cared for you. However, remember that if someone did reject you because of this, that person is cruel and therefore not deserving of you anyway. There's a reason the phrase "for better or worse" is in most wedding vows. You don't want someone who can't handle caring for you if/when you are ill.

There's no way to guarantee that the friendship won't be negatively affected by you confessing your feelings, but you should think about it carefully and weigh the pros and cons. If there's a possibility he might feel the same way, it is probably worth taking the risk. If/when you confess, just tell him that you hope you can remain friends regardless.

If he's only interested in sex and you want something more serious, you should just move on now and stop wasting your time. It's unlikely he will change and decide he wants a relationship with you. However, if you're fine with just having a casual, sexual relationship, then go for it. Just make sure you establish appropriate boundaries, make your needs clear, etc.

There are some great tips in Stop Being Boy Shy .

Ask him out, if he isn't too shy to handle that. And if he is, maybe suggest studying together or some other non-romantic activity just the two of you. See what happens: Does he move closer when you're sitting next to him? Does he blush when you "accidentally" touch? If you have a lot in common, it should not be hard finding something you both like doing.

Just about everybody feels that way. Remember, he is just a person, like you, and you'll never get anywhere in life if you don't take some risks. Just start a conversation about something random and try to work your way up to telling him how you feel.

Not everybody is going to like you, that's just a part of life. If he's not interested in you, you'll just have to move on and find somebody else.

Communication is key. Sit down with him when you’re both free and talk and compromise. One person speaks at a time, and the other person listens to how they feel and vice versa. Know when to walk away from an argument, and even better, learn when to walk away to avoid one happening in the first place.

Wait it out. That's really all you can do. Don't try to get in between your friend and her boyfriend, if you do, you'll probably lose both of them.

It is not possible to force anyone to fall in love with you. But the best thing to do is just tell them how you feel about them, and let them know that, even if they don't feel the same way, you want to stay friends.

How long have you been feeling this way? Generally, more than several months is considered "love" rather than a crush. Is the attraction more physical than personality-based? Are most of the feelings you have regarding them superficial? What would you be willing to do for them, or the chance to be with them? Do you have feelings for others at the same time? How does this compare to other times you’ve been in love? Love is different for everyone, but those are the sorts of questions you should consider.
