Q&A for How to Turn a Boy Into a Boyfriend

You can try flirting with him to let him know that you're interested. Lock eyes with each other and smile to attract him to you. Then have conversations about your interests so you can learn more about him.

It'll be in the way he acts and his body language. He'll want to be around you a lot, even making weak excuses to do so. He won't talk to you about his interest in other girls if you're friends. He'll be eager to help you. His body language will be positive, such as his toes pointed towards you, making eye contact or looking away shyly, staying open, and smiling.

Starting is the easy part. You can comment on anything, such as something about his appearance, a common experience or acquaintance, or something he's doing. Use whatever you can to break the ice. Keep the conversation going by sharing, asking open-ended questions, and expressing your interest in what the other person is saying.

Don't try to fight her for him. Instead, spend time with him, get to know him, and let him feel your presence. If he's already around your friend, that gives you an opportunity to spend time with him. Have fun with him but maintain your distance. Keep living your life, including talking to other boys.

Start by figuring out why he hates you. Once you know, work on it. Be friendly to him when he's around. Still seem independent and confident, but also try to bridge the gap between you. Spend time near him talking to him when appropriate.

Try to get noticed. Dress well or wear your hair a new way. Go up to him and start talking to him.

Yes. This is both a more difficult and simpler situation than if he's a friend. You'll have to be able to initiate contact with him and get to know him, but you won't be caught in the friend zone. The steps you take are the same though.

If your ex is a friend and you value what he thinks, you may want to talk to him about it. Otherwise, it's none of his business and you can feel free to proceed. Just keep in mind that your ex can tell him negative things about you. Don't talk poorly of your ex to his friend. Treat your ex respectfully when he's around. This will make whatever negatives you ex brings up look false.

If he says no, that's the clearest indicator possible that he has no interest in you. It's better for you to move on. Spend your time living your life, talking to other boys. It's possible that if he spends more time seeing you being confident and successful, he'll start wondering why he rejected you and change his mind.

If you think he feels anything for you in that way, you can start following the steps. Talk to him in a friendly way, not telling him your intentions. Work in light touching and flirting. Never talk badly about his girlfriend.

Do nothing. There's nothing you can do. You made your interest clear and now you have to wait for him to respond. He's either nervous about it or has no interest in you. Either way, maintain your confidence. Be nice to him when he's around but show that you're fine without him.
