It can be scary to put yourself out there and tell a man that you like him. You risk rejection and a possible hit to your self-esteem. If you take time to study up on what men like in a woman however, you can reduce the risk and use that information to increase the odds that he'll respond in kind. Take a few steps to prepare before you approach a man. According to personal coach Scott Andrews, founder of Aspire Now, you have a better chance of success when you study up on what men want.
Step 1
Prepare a meal and invite your intended over to eat with you. Andrews reports that men want to share their meals with women, especially when the women cook. The old adage, "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach," holds some truth. Let your cooking do the talking for you.
Step 2
Start a conversation by asking him about himself. Men and women both want attention and want to know that someone is interested in them. Men like to talk about their work and their achievements. Give a man your complete attention as you interview him and he will realize that you appreciate him and like what you see.
Step 3
Ask him to do you a favor. Put yourself in a position where you need a ride when you know he's available. Men like to be needed and you can use the opportunity to flirt and let him know you are interested by asking questions about his interests. By getting in his car, you convey the message that you feel secure with him.
Step 4
Turn on the charm and smile at him. A smile generates good feelings and conveys happiness. According to the advice at What Do Men Really Think, men will react subconsciously to a charming smile, and they will innately understand that you like them.
Step 5
Project your interest through your body language. Touching your hair or straightening your clothes indicates that you want to look good for him. Sit facing him in a room and turn your feet towards him. Lean your body towards him to indicate you want to be closer. According to Changing Minds, holding his eyes for a minute or longer indicates interest without taking the risk of actually telling him.
Tips and Warnings
- Put yourself in his path as much as possible. Find out where he works out and visit his gym. Attend meetings, sporting events and clubs that he frequents to make opportunities to send your signals and to talk to him.
- Be careful about sending sexual signals to a guy because you may be giving him the wrong message, unless sex is what you are interested in. Men are often tuned in to sexual overtones and may not realize that you are looking for more than a quickie.
