How Do I Get A Guys Attention?
September 5, 2009
Hi Katie,
I really like this guy but he barely talks to me! How do I get his attention or at least for him to talk to me?

Dear Mckenna,
First, you should try to hang out in places where he hangs out. This could be at the mall, movies, or at the skate park or baseball field if he plays sports. But whatever you do, don’t stalk him! Just SUBTLY try to make yourself available to talk to him in person.
Then take the initiative to start up a conversation with him. A good way is to ask him some simple questions at first, like if he can help explain something from class or asking him what time it is. Jokes are also a good ice breaker. Say a funny comment to him about something current and witty. Getting him to laugh will put him at ease so that the conversation flows better.
Next, take initiative to ask him out! You would be surprised by how many guys are too afraid to ask out a girl they’re interested in. They are just as shy as you! Take matters into your own hands. Walk up to him smiling and introduce yourself. You can say, “Hi! I’ve seen you around but never got the chance to introduce myself, I’m Mckenna!” Try not to bug him if he is really busy, but at the same time, don’t let the opportunity to talk pass you by just because you are too nervous.
A great way to start conversation is to start small talk. Comment on something he’s wearing or saying something about the place or event you’re both at. Try to get him to feel comfortable around you. And keep a friendly positive attitude and smile a lot! It’s hard for anyone not to wanna keep talking to someone who is friendly and happy.
You should also flirt with him! This can mean touching him lightly on the arm, for example, or laughing at his jokes. Just be playful and communicate that you’re interested. Compliment him! For example you could say something like, “I love your shoes!”
To keep the conversation rolling, ask him some questions about himself, like what he likes to do, what his favorite place to eat is, or if he likes to play sports. Try to see if you have anything in common with him. Now that you have found some stuff you both have in common, ask if he’d like to do it together sometime.
