basically, all you have to do is talk to them as if they were one of your girlfriends, but a little lighter. just go up to a guy of your choice and introduce yourself and start talking and see how that goes. i really can't explain it any better than that. i have a lot of guy fiends; in fact most of them are guys! just be yourself around them, just not flirty too much. your just tryin to get a guy friend.

It often takes time.  It's not uncommon for us to be friendly first and become really interested after we get to know you better.  You know, kind of like you do with guys, right?

I used to be the same way. What helps is coming into contact with more guys in a friendly setting. If there are guys you see regularly at work or somewhere else, just be friendly and say "hi hows it going?" Dont approach it like you are going to marry the guy, just look at it as if he's a cool guy that you'd like to talk to more. Comfort only comes with practice, and remember...those little butterflies you get when talking to a guy you like arent always a bad thing;-)

I think your asking how to approach a female you don't know so she will like you.  I would like it if a guy came up to me and asked me what my name was, told me his, and we had a normal conversation and he told me he was interested in talking more and would ask for a phone number or give me his.  No lines, no gimmicks, just a simple getting to know you conversation.  I hate it when guys whistle at you and yell hey from across the street.  Its so disrespectful.

ok, what you need to do is just try and start a conversation with him. i have a friend that has a real fear of talking to guys she really likes. i tell her the same thing just start a random conversation. i am the type of person who can just start talking to any one without being scared.

I will take the first step to be social towards a man but I don't know about 'making a move'. I guess, if you call being the first to talk to him etc making a move then definately. My fella is very shy and he thinks I'm way above his league so he would never have made the first move to talk to me, thinking that I would straight out reject him. I could definately tell that he was interested so I made it easier for him. If I hadn't done that, we wouldn't be together so I'm glad I did.

I had a hard time talking to guys when I was younger. I would get so nervous that the thought of talking to him about anything but maybe a basketball game seemed impossible. I understand that the direct approach is a no, this doesnt come easy for all of us. The spreading of the word is an okay idea but just because you hear someone likes you doesnt mean you will believe it. I would suggest letting a mutual friend know that you like him and having them see what he thinks of you. It may seem like a not so great choice of action but it can prove to be successful. If you are not up to that get a friend to go on messenger or something with you (presuming your guy friend has it also) and let them type for you and ask him what he thinks of you. I used to use that one all the time to make me seem bold while I was biting my nails in the background. Good Luck!!!

yeah i think you should take the chance. try to make it in some way as to not scrwe up the friendship if it doesnt work out. actually before telling him i think you should try to get him to like you too, make compliments, but make them sound casual so that he wont be sure if you like him or not, then he'll wonder if he likes you or not too. it sounds complicated but it works all the time.

sorry, i don't add people i do not know personally.  as for getting more friends.  just randomly request friendship to others, who knows maybe you'll be lucky!

As a guy I will have to say when I talk to a girl I like her to make me laugh and be spontaneous, look for jokes on the internet and slip one in once in a wile or talk about everyday stuff like how was your day, talk about you favorite interest or if you like any kind of sport talk about it, us guys tend to be interested in that kind of crap, if none of this works it might be because he's just boring cause after all it takes 2 to chat.

First you can't "make" anyone like you. Just be who you are and become his friend first. then let the rest happen or not happen on it's own.

yeah, im a guy so this might help. Flirt a little, and maybe try to be the boy(s) u like friend. Then gradually overtime maybe the boy will ask you out, unless hes gay, or has a girlfriend.\n\nOh yeah, if anyone needs some more advice mail me or chat with me.its cody_22407

ATTRACTION.  The guys you know as friends are friends because they didn't make you "feel" attraction for them.  You may love them but it will never fill you with the excitement an unpredictable man does.\nI bet if you called any of these guys and asked them to come over they would drop everything and be by your side.  Try it!\nIs that what you want?  Just because a guy isn't "totally sweet" doesn't mean he is a mean hurtful jerk.\nWomen love a challenge as we men do.

I'm having that EXACT same problem right now with a guy I'm hanging out with.\n\nAre you friends with him?  does he call you?  Do you hang out together?  Or are you wanting to know whether or not he is interested in doing these things with you?  Because there is a big difference, at least to me.

Getting a guy to notice or like you involves the use of basic social skills. You should be honest, direct, pleasant, and reasonable. If you really like a guy, but you haven't really talked to him - you're dying to, but you're too scared - here are some tips to help you say hello. \n\nSteps \nGet a new look. Don't change who you are, just try something different. Try a new hairstyle, new clothes, etc. \n\nBe yourself. Everyone probably says this, but it's true! No guy wants a girl to pretend she is something she's not. \n\nDon't cuss. It turns guys off most of the time. \n\nSmile. Whether closed-mouth or open-mouth, do it. It'll say to everyone, "Wow, she's a nice person!" \n\nFlirt a little - not like crazy, but a little bit here and there. \n\nTry to be around him often, such as sitting near him. \n\nShow off a little when you're around your friends, but not a lot because then he might think you're just silly. \n\nTry to make lots of eye contact - and when you do, smile! (Guys \noften don't look at girls in the eyes, so looking into theirs when they're talking shows them that you are interested in them). \n\nGo up to him and talk to him. Try to get to know him a little by discussing things you have in common. You could even compliment him. Even if you just say he has a nice shirt or a cool watch; it shows him that you're into him. \n\nTell him how you really feel about him once you get comfortable talking together. \n\nBe a brave person and stand up for who you are, and what you believe in. This will catch his attention, and his respect. \n\nTips \nDon't change yourself too much. \n\nA good way to start a conversation is to ask him a question - \nsomething about an interest you might have in common, or even what the time is. Make sure you hide your watch! \n\nSit close to him an touch him on his arm to show him you're interested. \n\nListen to him and don't interrupt him when he is talking. That makes them really annoyed and it's rude! \n\nAct confident but try not to seem stuck up. \n'Bad clothes' are those old pants you used for painting the fence and the sweatshirt with the pony on it. \n\nAsk him out if you're sure he's interested. Most boys love it when girls ask them out. \n\nConsider helping him out with other things like homework and social problems. \n\nWarnings \nNo guy likes a person who is snobby. \n\nIf he tries to do anything you're not comfortable with, tell him that you are not ready for that stuff yet. If he's cool with that, great. If not, then he's not really the nice guy you thought he was. \n\nDon't wear bad clothes when you decide to be brave and walk up to your man. \n\nMake sure to brush your teeth! \n\nBe sure to have gum, breath mints, listerine strips, etc. around in case you need to freshen up quickly. \n\nDon't tell him lies. \n\nIf the guy is a jerk, but you find him attractive, don't let him take advantage of you. Find out more about him before you let things get too serious. \n\nYou can't get everyone to notice you. You cannot get everyone to like you all the time!
