How To Make A Move
How do you make a guy feel special? There's this guy in my college organization that I am crushing on majorly and I'm pretty sure he's interested, or at least finds me attractive. I'm not very good at flirting, and I always felt like I wasn't a very "warm" person because my parents were never very affectionate with me so I don't know how to show people affection and I feel awkward doing it sometimes (although I love being on the receiving end). He is the complete opposite however and always gives me hugs when he sees me. We aren't dating, so what are some casual ways I can make him feel special and cared about?ltosh840 | age 22 | March 1, 2010

It's definitely tough to flirt just the right amount without coming across as too obsessive, or on the other hand, too distant. Making contact is always a sure shot. Touching his arm when saying a joke or even in smaller ways (eg. instead of calling his name to get his attention tap him on the shoulder in a quick but caressing fashion). Also, the verbal flirting all depends on what kind of flirt he is. Some guys are all about the cocky remarks where they make themselves sound like they're the best. To flirt with them, you pretty much just have to poke fun at them and try to bring them down I guess. For instance, if he's really good looking (and he knows it) just tell him he's so ugly you can't even look at him and then laugh. I know this kid on sounds ridiculous but it actually works! If the guy isn't reallyt cocky when he's flirting but more genuine, then take the genuine route. Make references to him being such a good catch or if he says something really sweet say, "Where is the line up of girls waiting for you?! Man!" or something nice like that but still in a joking fashion. But, in the end of the day I would say don't be afraid to make the first move! Tell him you want to hang out outside of meetings or whatever. Or even at the end of an event tell him your craving a coffee and ask him to come with you! If you wait too long, then the opportunity may be lost!Tags:
