How To Make A Guy Want You: What Works And What Doesn't by Psychic Arthur

"I went on a first date with a girl who was really into astrology. She asked me what my sign was, and I said, 'Exit.' It didn't go well." - Greg Behrendt

Let's start with the age-old question, "How to make a guy want you?" It's something that women have been pondering for centuries, and honestly, it's a challenging task. Men are like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get. But fear not! Here are some tips to make any guy want you more than a puppy wants a belly rub.

So, do you have a man on your mind? How do you get him to like you more? The struggle is real, but let's get to the bottom of this once and for all. So, let's dive into the world of making men want you and find out what works and what doesn't.

How to Make a Guy Want You - What Doesn't Work

First, let's talk about what doesn't work. Ladies, it's tempting to spill your heart and guts out to a guy you're interested in but trust me, it's not the best approach. Confessing your feelings too soon can scare a guy away faster than a cat running from water. You don't want to overwhelm him with emotions; it can push him away instead of drawing him closer. It's like asking him to commit to a relationship before he even knows your middle name. So, what should you do instead? Take it slow and let the relationship develop naturally. Let him get to know you, enjoy the process, and keep your cards close to your chest, or you might end up with a broken heart.

Secondly, playing hard to get is not always the best strategy. Yes, I know. It goes against all the dating advice you've ever read. Sure, it might seem like the guy will chase you for a while, but eventually, he'll get tired of the game and move on to someone else. Plus, let's be honest; playing hard to get is exhausting. Who has the time and energy for that? Instead, show genuine interest in him and let him know that you enjoy his company. Men appreciate when women show genuine interest in them. So, don't be afraid to pursue him - a little! If you overdo it, he might start feeling suffocated and look for someone who gives him space.

Lastly, don't suffocate him. The last thing you want to hear is: "I can't breathe!" Giving a guy space is essential. You don't want to be that clingy person constantly blowing up his phone, sending texts that read like an endless novella, or showing up unannounced. It's creepy, and no one likes it. Plus, if you're the one always asking the guy out, you might end up in a perpetual state of chasing him. If you want to be pursued instead of the chaser, take a break from asking him out and let him come to you. If he's into you, he'll realize he's been missing out on your charming presence and start pursuing you like a cheetah chasing down its prey.

So, basically, what not to do in a nutshell:

1. Don't follow him around like a lost puppy. You're not a stalker, and he's not your bone. Give the poor guy some space, please!
2. Don't tell him you love him on the first date. You might think it's romantic, but he'll probably remember you as the kray-kray from The Jerry Springer Show. Not good.
3. Don't try to impress him by talking about all your ex-boyfriends. Boring! Yawn! It's not a competition; he doesn't want to hear about your past relationships.
4. Don't pretend to be someone or something you're not. He'll see right through it, and it's not worth the effort.
5. Don't try to make him jealous by flirting with other guys. It's immature and a surefire way to make him lose interest. Besides, that only works for Made For TV Movies on Lifetime for Women, yeah, not in real life.
6. Don't stalk him on social media and ask him those "gotcha" questions like "Who's the blonde bombshell you liked three years ago?" - stop right there. Not only is it totally creepy, but it'll make him think you're some kind of secret agent or worse - his mom. And trust me, that's a road you don't wanna go down. Yikes!

How to Make a Guy Want You - What Does Work

Confidence, baby! Confidence is the key to unlocking a man's heart. Men are attracted to women who are confident, comfortable in their own skin, and interested in them. So, show him what you're made of!

Find something you love to wear that shows off your best features. It'll show if you feel good about yourself, and he'll notice. Plus, if you're feeling confident, you'll be more likely to engage in conversation, and your personality will shine through. And trust me, men love to be around a happy woman with a good personality. So, go out there and rock it!

Eye contact and a warm smile can go a long way, too. It's important to let him know you're interested in what he says. Men like to feel needed and appreciated. So, don't be afraid to let him make plans or take charge in certain situations. It'll make him feel good about himself and show him you trust him. Plus, it takes the pressure off of you having to plan everything, and who doesn't love a little break from planning? Come on, you can do it!

Communication is also crucial in any relationship. If you want a guy to want you, you need to be able to communicate effectively with him. This means listening to him when he talks, expressing your own thoughts and feelings, and being open and honest about what you want – but not on the first date! Don't be afraid to have difficult conversations, but also know when to yield and give him space if he needs it.

Another way to make a guy want you is to have a good sense of humor. Being able to make him laugh is a great way to connect with him and show him your fun side. It doesn't mean you have to be a stand-up comedian, but being able to crack a joke or two will definitely get his attention. Plus, studies have shown that laughter is good for the soul, and who doesn't want a little more joy in their life?

Finally, give him the green light when he shows interest in you, but not like a traffic signal, okay? Just be subtle about it. Please don't be too aloof; he might think you're uninterested or emotionally oblivious. Encourage him with subtle body language cues and positive responses when he talks about himself or his interests. This will let him know that he can open up to you more and give him the confidence to pursue further with you.

And most important of all, remember to have fun. Relationships should be enjoyable and fulfilling, not stressful and exhausting. So, go out and do things that you both enjoy, whether trying a new restaurant or hiking. Make memories together, and he'll want to be with you for the long haul.

Be Confident, Just Not Overconfident!

So, let's recap. Do you want to make him want you? Confidence is key, but don't be overconfident. Don't confess your love too soon; he might run for the hills. And for the love of all that is holy, don't play hard to get. You're not trying to get him to chase you like a dog chases a car.

In conclusion, making a man want you can be a challenge. But, if you're confident, genuine, and show a little interest, you'll be well on your way. Remember, it's all about finding the right balance. Too much of anything can be a bad thing. Now, keep on shining! You are the definition of girl power! You've got this!
