Don’t call too often or text all of the time

If you take this approach, chances are he’ll think that your interest in him is superficial. Instead, make sure that your phone does not beep every five minutes and that you do not call him every night before he goes to sleep. He’ll see this as clinginess, which will make him pull away from you. Instead, try to keep your calls and messages balanced and let him call you sometimes too.

Don’t play too hard to get

If he likes you, let him know it. You don’t have to reignite the fire or go out of your way to do so – just act normal and listen if he talks about something that interests you. Chances are, when he finds out how interesting you are, his feelings will grow for you even more. Playing hard to get is something that might have worked years ago, but it’s an old trick these days. If you want him to like you, make it easy for him to do so.

Find out his hobbies and interests

Make sure that he has at least one hobby or interest that is similar to yours so that when it comes time to talk about something on your date, you’ll have plenty of things in common on which to base the conversation. If not, no worries – just ask him questions about himself until he finds out what ticks his fancy, and then try again with another interest of yours later on down the road.

Watch his actions and learn how to read them

In today’s society, most people have mastered the art of being bad listeners when it comes time for meaningful conversation. However, if you pay attention, he will reveal what he likes and what he doesn’t about you, as well as give clues as to what you can do to make him like you more. If he’s paying attention and liking what he sees and hears, he’ll let his actions speak louder than words ever could.

Be his friend to start with

You don’t have to jump into the deep end of the pool head first just because you want him! Take it easy and be friendly, fun, and flirty – the whole nine yards. Try to recognize what he wants in a woman and then be that. If he likes the outdoors, plan an outdoor excursion to his favorite spot, if he’s into technology, check out the latest gadgets together, if he loves movies try watching one. Over time, you’ll find that you’ve become more than just friends and before he knows it, there’s a spark.

Give him space

Allowing the guy you like to have some space doesn’t necessarily mean that he does not feel the same way about you. It may just mean that he needs time to think about how to say what’s on his mind or he knows that being clingy will only turn you off.

If the two of you are meant for each other then your love will conquer all no matter how far apart you may be from each other. Distance is just a hurdle that could eventually build the strength of your relationship if you learn to remain strong and patient. You never know, he might actually miss you more because he’s going through the same thing.
