How to attract the attention of a man who does not understand subtle hints? Sometimes flirting does not bring a woman the result she expected. Perhaps it’s a matter of male thick skin, since we won’t even consider the option of a lack of interest on his part. Everyone is subject to a woman’s charm; the only question is the degree to which a man is “married.”
Well, if you are interested in a charming, modest botanist who does not understand hints at all, it’s time to put the “heavy artillery” on alert. When random touches and even an invitation for a cup of coffee do not bring results, this can only spur a woman’s interest. Excitement is a great incentive that will allow you to attract the attention of a man.
How to get a guy's attention depending on the situation
Now let's talk about more specific steps towards the guy you want. Depending on your place of communication, the situation itself and the opportunities to attract attention change. We will list specific points specific to the place of action.
On social networks
It’s easier to communicate on the Internet - you have time to think and respond, you can express your words with emoticons, you can greet with a sticker, it won’t be so unpleasant if you refuse.
On the Internet, everyone seems more attractive, his non-verbal reaction (gestures, facial expressions, attention in his eyes), the intonation of his voice are not visible, and it is not at all clear whether he is writing this.
Solution:
- treat correspondence as an adventure, and not as a marriage acquaintance;
- comment on his words or actions;
- conduct an unobtrusive conversation, sometimes write, be interested in him, talk less about himself, encourage him to be frank more.
At the party
Everyone is in a good mood, relaxed, you can dance together or take part in a game, it won’t be difficult to be nearby.
There are too many people to have a normal conversation.
Solution:
- smile, catch your eye;
- being nearby during a slow dance;
- “accidentally” collide during a dance, game, etc.

If you see that you have attracted the attention of a man, try to move away from everyone so that he can see it: perhaps he will come up to talk.
At school
common interests, events;
meetings in the corridor, office, dining room;
mutual friends who can invite you to the company.
if you are not from the same class, you may rarely encounter each other;
just because you exchange glances, an acquaintance will not be established.
Solution:
- get into the same microgroup with him, for example, a section or an event, where you can greet each other and start a conversation;
- go to a general party, try to be closer, observe, or you can come up and talk.
What to talk about? Usually, if people are on the same page, the conversation will work out. The conversation may turn out better than you expect, and vice versa, and that's natural!
It is better to encourage him to talk about himself. Or start with humor. Men's attention is usually occupied by cheerful girls who laugh wildly at their jokes. Or you can just smile and say: “I think I’ve seen you somewhere before.”
If the meeting didn’t work out in the end, that’s okay! You found out that your conversation is not going well. Then what would the relationship be like?
At work
see each other often;
general topics for communication;
there are situations where you will do work together;
most likely you know his status and something about his character.
ban on office romances;
in case of separation, you will still have to see each other;
you will attract the attention, if not of the man you have chosen, then certainly of several colleagues who will begin to gossip and make up tall tales.
Solution:
- working together is a reason to praise, pay attention, emphasize its importance at work, attract a man to help;
- you can offer to drink coffee with a pie that you prepared yourself;
- invite to your birthday; sit next to you at a corporate party.

What kind of women do men like? How to understand that a guy likes you.
Strict control of your appearance
It’s not without reason that people say that you meet someone by their clothes. This is indeed true. And if you constantly appear in front of your chosen one with an unwashed hair, stale breath and dirty, unwashed clothes, it will be almost impossible to win his sympathy. Moreover, even if a guy is in love and feels sincere sympathy, an unkempt appearance will sooner or later kill all positive emotions, leaving behind only disappointment, and possibly disgust.
You should not spare yourself either money or time. With regular care, a very small amount will be enough. Dress for a date as if you are going to be casting at the best modeling agency in the country. Hairstyle, makeup, manicure - everything should be at the highest level.
The fashion industry can help lovely ladies in many ways. Its many secrets will help you visually correct your figure and hide possible flaws if it is not ideal. For example, high-heeled shoes will make a woman slimmer and “stretch” her silhouette.
Every woman who really evaluates herself really knows both the advantages and disadvantages of her figure. It is quite natural that the existing advantages should be emphasized as much as possible. There are many recommendations from stylists for this:
- Beautiful legs will look more advantageous in short skirts and dresses;
- A wasp waist will be further emphasized by dresses with wide belts or tunics narrowed at the waist;
- The impressive breasts will not go unnoticed in a blouse with a not very large neckline, however, just like the graceful lines of the neck.
Common mistakes girls make
All men are different, and so are their preferences. However, there are typical dissatisfaction with certain traits and actions of women. To avoid mistakes when communicating, it is better to find out about them right away.
- Untidy. A shaggy girl in wrinkled clothes is not the heroine of the fairy tale about the goose at the well. This is reality: we sometimes look like this when we relax, in front of a man. And this should not be allowed: neither at the beginning of a relationship, nor after a few years. You won't like it if he's overgrown and wearing a battered, unwashed jacket?
- Rude and unfeminine. There is hardly a guy who will sincerely say: “I really dream of marrying a girl who endlessly swears, smokes like a steam locomotive, and sends me to hell!” Well, everyone is attracted to feminine traits: sensitivity, caring, kindness, beauty.
- Disrespect for men. If you don’t hide your distrust of the male sex, call men offensive words, snort at the sight of a happy couple, or sneer at a story about a good husband, then you will cause the same negativity in guys.
- Assertiveness. Courage and activity do not always equal assertiveness and perseverance. Show interest, show concern, but do not insist if there is no proper answer - this is the logical solution.
Perhaps these are the main characteristics of girls that repel men. The rest is a matter of taste.
FAQ
How to attract the attention of a shy guy?
If your choice fell on a modest, indecisive young man, do not rush to be upset. A guy with such a character has advantages: he will listen to you, will not try to suppress you in any way, and, most likely, he needs a female leader.
But no man will like a Pirate in a skirt! Show interest, offer to chat, ask for help with programs on the Internet or choose sports equipment, depending on your interests. Don't call too often, don't bombard with messages!
Just show interest. And then be a nice and grateful listener. If he’s silent, try thanking or praising him for something, and then agree to go jogging in the morning or go to a concert. Again he remains silent and does not agree - this is no longer due to modesty.
What should I do if a guy doesn't pay attention to me?
Let’s imagine that He simply doesn’t know you yet, and therefore has no interest. Your goal: it’s not easy to attract a man’s attention, but also to start communication. What's the point if he just looks at you? This may not end well.
Don't look for the perfect dating option, because it simply doesn't exist. Be yourself. Show ease in communication, but not frivolity or frivolity.
You can smile at him and wait for a reaction. Or you can come up and ask something minor. If you know someone, ask for advice or help. But don’t put your future with him at the forefront!
Let him see what you like, but you have a lot of interesting things in life that you could share!
What if he doesn't like me?
What if you open up to him, tell him about your sympathy, and he refuses, what then? It will be unpleasant, offensive - this is natural. But it will pass! The fact that he refused you means one thing: you both are not suitable for each other! Both! Not only you - him. It’s good that you decided on this issue and didn’t spend months or years dreaming. You acted like a brave girl, found out what was important to you, and got an answer.
A normal person will not laugh, he will feel embarrassed because of the refusal, and many guys try to solve the issue by avoiding it.
If there is a hint of “no” in his actions, is it worth insisting only out of principle and pride, and then living, nervously, does he need you?
The main thing is that you are left with yourself! This is difficult to perceive immediately after a failed relationship, but after a month the truth of these words will become clear to you.
The guy paid attention to me, but does not take the first step: what should I do?
If you are sure that he likes you, but he does not take the initiative, there are two options: in fact, he is more indifferent than you thought or does not yet know how to approach. You can give him signs of your sympathy: look, smile, speak well of him in front of mutual friends. Or you can go all-in. Take the first step, any one, but only one.
If you really doubt it, do the second one. A step means calling or offering to go for a walk, invite to a party, or “chat” on social networks. And that's it, wait!
If he ignores, answers evasively, rarely, stop. It turns out that his interest is very sluggish. And you deserve bright emotions, love, a real man! And you will meet him if you want!
When to stop
Have you successfully applied all the described techniques in practice, but still failed to captivate a man? There are only two options:
- either you didn't try hard enough,
- or you are not his type.
It's not just about appearance, but also behavior, character and much more. Perhaps you initially misjudged his preferences and focused on the wrong things. What to do if you can’t conquer your beloved man?
Reveal your personality from a completely different side, let the man see how multifaceted and original you are. Dramatic changes in appearance and behavior will also help to attract his attention again and give impetus to the beginning of a relationship. If this doesn’t help, then register on the Badoo dating site and start communicating with interesting men.
If you find a girl, or even more so a wife, stop! You can be the best of all the women he has met in his life. But respect yourself.
How to take the first step yourself
To take the initiative, sometimes all it takes is, as we have already discussed, a smile and an exchange of glances. But men tend to doubt or not notice something.
Read What kind of women do men like?
In general, they are straightforward people, for the most part. Therefore, you can offer to take a walk or give him your phone number (easier - a link to your social network account).
We remember the main rule of female initiative: we do not run too far ahead, we do not take more than 2 steps towards without a response from him.
Useful tips
Lack of experience communicating with the opposite sex can make a girl blush. Simple secrets will help you establish contact:
- Red clothing attracts attention and encourages men to take active actions.
- Girls who have pets seem more affectionate and caring. In addition, when you go for a walk with your dog, you can meet your chosen one.
- Ladies who cannot walk in heels are better off wearing ballet flats. Unskillful walking and severe discomfort affect the girl’s mood and spoil her image.
- When talking about yourself, there is no need to embellish events. When the deception is revealed, trust will be lost.
- When a guy talks about his life, you need to remember as many facts as possible in order to later show your attentiveness.
What qualities do men like in women?
Remember the saying that a real woman will stop a galloping horse and enter a burning hut? So forget it for a while, we won’t need it now. The emphasis should be on completely different things, now I’ll tell you which ones.
- Femininity
In a couple, a man and a woman complement each other. A man by nature is straightforward, firm, indestructible, like a rock. A woman must be soft, flexible and wise, like a mountain river, so that they can live together in peace and harmony.
Cultivate these priceless qualities in yourself; they are what make a girl feminine, and not pink dresses and high-heeled shoes.
- Grooming
As Coco Chanel correctly noted, there are no ugly women, only lazy ones. Watch your appearance - men love with their eyes. Dress neatly, style your hair, take care of your nails - this is the minimum program!
- Naturalness
There is nothing more repulsive to a man than a thick layer of plaster on his face, eyelashes glued together with mascara and flashy bright lipstick. When you see such a girl, you get the impression that she wants to hide and attract attention at the same time. You shouldn’t give up cosmetics completely, but you need to know moderation in everything.
- Modesty
I never tire of repeating that this is one of the most valuable and irreplaceable qualities in a person, but for some reason many people persistently confuse it with self-doubt. Modesty will allow you to look at yourself adequately, not to be arrogant, not to brag. Compared to girls who imagine themselves to be gorgeous princesses, you will have a clear advantage.
- Self-esteem
Don't confuse it with conceit; these qualities have nothing in common. Self-respect is rather a synonym for pride. Don’t humiliate yourself, don’t fawn, don’t put someone else’s will above your own. In relationships, self-respect helps you not to impose yourself, not to cling to an indifferent partner - in general, to know your worth.
- Good parenting
To please a man, a girl must “be a lady.” Don't expect good looks and revealing clothing to compensate for your bad manners. Watch what and how you say and how you behave.
Soft and non-aggressive sexuality
You can attract a man's attention with your eyes. For him to notice you, it is enough to hold your gaze on your chosen one for 5-6 seconds, and, after waiting for visual contact, turn away. Try practicing in front of a mirror in advance, then involve a friend. Learn to look sexy and languid, leaving a mystery in your eyes. But preliminary training is mandatory; without it you can look extremely stupid.
Show the man with your eyes that you are interested in him. Learn to shoot with your eyes. Instantly look away when a guy tries to catch him. Try to look at it briefly.
Being at a sufficiently large distance from him, look intently, slightly squinting your eyes. Show that he is interested in you. Avoid acting like a bitch who sets the bar too high. Many ladies tend to think that only through outfits, flashy makeup and a vulgar tone can they look sexy. It's not like that at all. Sexuality is characteristic of even the most modest girl.
It is also a mistake to think that only a very revealing outfit will help attract the attention of men. This is partly true. But such outfits attract only those men who are in the mood for a short intimate relationship. It is impossible to take a serious man who knows his worth with vulgarity; it will only push him away. No promiscuity or swagger in the image. Clothes should perfectly highlight the advantages of your figure, only slightly fitting it. When wearing a tight skirt, focus on the high slit and beautiful legs. Decorate your beautiful breasts with a small neckline. Avoid vulgarity in either dress or behavior.
Develop in everything. Play sports regularly, walk in the fresh air, be selective about outfits, shoes and accessories. Always control your facial expressions, gestures, speech, body positions and gait.
- Learn to step from the hip. Give up sneakers in favor of feminine shoes or boots. Replace the sporty style with light romance.
- When talking to a man you like, coquettishly tug at a strand of hair, twirling it around your finger. Keep your back straight in any position. Cross your legs. Avoid sudden gestures or movements. Do everything smoothly.
- Don't shout, make sure your voice is as gentle and romantic as possible. You must be in complete harmony with yourself, because sexuality is not taught, it comes from within us.
- Let the man conquer you. Don't be intrusive. Men love to hunt. Having chosen a worthy couple, he will definitely make every effort to conquer her. Give him this opportunity.
Don't shy away from flirting, but don't let yourself look stupid or vulgar. First, give him a light, beautiful smile. Make jokes and be positive.
Unobtrusive touches become appropriate only after getting to know each other. While sitting at the same table with a man and chatting, take a moment to go to the ladies' room for a few minutes. When standing up, be sure to lightly, as if by accident, touch him with your chest or thigh. Let him know that you are ready to continue your relationship.
When he tells a funny story, it will be very appropriate to laugh and touch his arm, thigh or shoulder. Try to be real, you can feel the fakeness right away.
Request for help
According to ongoing research, it turned out that we often begin to be attracted to people who have received some kind of help, even if they were previously treated with indifference or hatred.
The human subconscious is responsible for such a state, which believes that these people would commit a similar act against us. When we do something nice to a person we don’t like, conflicting thoughts begin to appear in our brain that the actions taking place do not correspond to the possible acceptable actions towards this person. The brain begins to think, why did he do this?
To achieve peace of mind, he begins to convince us that this person is not as bad as previously thought. In this regard, we can attract the attention of a boy, guy or man by asking him to help us.
Expressing compliments
A man does not hear compliments addressed to him as often as a woman. For this reason, when he hears him being praised, that he was liked and is somehow better than other men, he begins to rejoice.
But there is one nuance in this rule: if you praise too often or give compliments that do not correspond to reality, this method loses its power.
It is better to give compliments to the point, and it will be enough to note his positive qualities or actions once a day.
Speed up your learning process!
Focus on developing your communication skills. To begin with, try to express your thoughts briefly and give the interlocutor the opportunity to speak out. Make sure you don't overwhelm others in the conversation.
To learn how to express yourself better, pay attention to how television talk show hosts interact with their guests and viewers in the studio. Watch their facial expressions, gestures, glances, and postures. Watch how these experienced communicators adjust the pace of their speech and the pitch of their voices to capture the full attention of the audience.
A gossip is one who talks to you about others, a bore is one who talks to you about himself, and a brilliant conversationalist is one who talks to you about you. Lisa Kirk, American singer and musical comedy actress (1925–1990)
If we embrace other people's experiences and strive to develop, we can become a good communicator in a short period of time. Start improving your communication skills immediately!
Conclusion. You are unlucky in love when you are considered a bad conversationalist. But if you learn to have easy and relaxed conversations, “tune in to the wavelength” of a possible partner, you will definitely be lucky in love.
Showcase your similarities
To get a guy to fall in love, talk more often about how much you have in common with him.
According to statistics, most people form a couple when they have similar views on life and hobbies. If you like going to the gym, be sure to let us know.
If he has rebellious tendencies, you can show yourself in all your glory. If he is a family man by nature, share your plans and vision of family life.
Such points of contact with a partner are very important, but in no case should you lie just to be liked.
Control your speech3
If you think that by demonstrating to the guy you like that your vocabulary contains no less obscenities than the arsenal of a village shoemaker (however, just like common village words that have nothing in common with pure Russian speech), you will become more nice, you are very mistaken.
Only a hardened criminal or a completely uncouth lout can perceive such communication. Although, to be frank, representatives of the male half of these classes, no matter how strange it may seem, deep down in their souls feel sincere sympathy for girls, in whose conversation there is not even a hint of rude foul language, criminal slang or vernacular.
Excluding obscene expressions from spoken language (even better, eliminating them even from your subconscious) will give you a much better chance of winning the attention of the guy you like. Perhaps, over time, you will allow some not quite civilized words in private with him. It is quite possible that they will even “turn on” a partner and serve as a catalyst for the beginning of sexual games. But at first it’s not worth taking risks and tempting fate.
Be an interesting conversationalist
Becoming a good speaker and listener rolled into one is not an easy task, but it can be done. To solve the first half of it, it is important:
- get rid of specific (dialect) pronunciation and colorful accent;
- know the rules of pronunciation of some “tricky” words (pamper, agreement, means);
- do not use “parasitic” phrases (“really,” “somehow,” “honestly”) and emotionally charged “word substitutes” (“damn,” “hat,” “beard”);
- construct logically complete sentences;
- avoid excessive gestures;
- do not add decibels during a conversation;
- replenish memory volumes with useful information;
- make appropriate and witty jokes;
- do not get carried away with criticism and condemnation;
- demonstrate a positive attitude.
To implement the second half of the task, it is recommended:
Positive6
A smile and a positive attitude are one of the main criteria for attracting a man’s attention. Frowning eyebrows and complaints about life and others will quickly push a man away. Also, you should not judge other people in front of him; for him, this will be an indicator of bitterness and failure.
In addition, goodwill is very rare these days, so it will definitely arouse the interest of the stronger sex.
Strengthening interest10
Try to demonstrate your strengths. While in company, you can show off your singing or musical talents. But only if they really exist. In general, find your strengths and show them.
An excellent technique would be to ask for help. This will allow the man to feel his strength. He will also like that they showed trust in him. In such a situation, it is necessary to show that the man’s opinion is almost an expert one. He will be flattered that a woman thinks that his hands are growing out of place.
It’s worth trying to feed the man, treat him with something. Nowadays, women have completely forgotten to use their culinary skills, but this is the shortest way to a man’s heart.
Remind yourself. Of course, there is no point in calling or writing specifically and directly. But randomly sending him a message, further apologizing for the concern, would be a good technique. In the message, it is better to tell some funny incident that will make him smile.
Keep it a mystery. You shouldn’t immediately dump the story of your whole life on the unfortunate person. You need to open up slowly.
In pursuit of a man’s interest, one must take into account, first of all, the peculiarities of his psychology.
There are a number of points that will repel a man for sure:
- excessive intrusiveness and vulgarity;
- casual or specific mention of previous relationship experience;
- listing your problems and difficulties;
- oddly enough, excessive stiffness and shyness;
- assertiveness of speech and obscene words;
- questions about his material well-being and sources of income;
- lack of interest in his personality, talking only about his beloved self.
This is just generalized data about male opinion. Every man is individual. After all, what one likes will be disgusting to another. A quote from Jean de Labruere will come in handy: “Everyone has their own idea of female attractiveness; beauty is something more immutable and independent of tastes and judgments.”
