See A Guy You Like? Take Action!
Want to know where all the great guys have gone? Look around you! They’re all over the place. They’re drinking in cafés and sitting in classes. They’re jogging in parks and lying on beaches. And they’re certainly relaxing in bars, swaying on dance floors and laughing at parties.
Spotting a good-looking guy isn’t difficult. Making a move on him is.
When a guy catches your eye, you’ve got two options.
The first is to hope that he’ll notice you and be brave enough to come over. That’s pretty hit-and-miss though. It takes courage to cross a room and talk to an attractive stranger, especially when she’s part of a group. Often it can look far too difficult and the opportunity disappears faster than Haagen Daz after a break up.
Your job then is to make it as easy as possible for him with a little long-distance flirting.
It’s all about eye contact. You’ll be glancing at him anyway, and if he’s interested, he’ll be glancing at you too. When your eyes meet, hold that moment. Let him know that you’ve seen him and that you like what you see. You’ll blush, you’ll smile, you’ll feel hot... and all those things together will make you look hot, too. When you find an excuse to break away from the group, he’ll know that he can make an approach without the risk of rejection.
But that doesn’t mean he will. For shy types, even a long, lingering look can leave them cautious.
Your second option then is to walk over and introduce yourself. Even if you can think of something cool to say, the thought that you might be cold-shouldered before you’ve had a chance to impress is likely to keep you just where you are: enjoying the eye-candy... but still single.
There is an easier way. Take a piece of paper (a napkin or a bus ticket will do) and write on it your name, your phone number and the words “Call me.” As you’re leaving, take a deep breath, fold the page in half and give it to him. Then go. There’s no time for a rejection and the only reaction you’ll get right away is surprise.
If he likes how smooth your are, you’ll get a phone call, a topic of conversation... and a date.
