How to Get a Girl to Like You

Many single guys out there have always wondered: How do I get girls to like me? How do I get women interested in me? While it can be difficult to determine exactly what she is interested in, there are some great (and simple) tips to keep in mind that almost all women will have a common interest in. The following behaviors and habits will definitely improve your overall chances in getting any girl interested in you, and it's not as complicated as one might think!

Meet Girls & Find a Girl You Are Interested In

The first step is to get yourself out there and be exposed to women. You can't get anyone interested in you unless they know you exist! So where do you meet girls? If you are offline, try taking a walk around town, hang out at the park or at the mall, or perhaps a carnival - in casual places where people are hanging out or having fun. Otherwise if you are online, check out some of the online dating sites out there. Some of them, likes ours at LetsHangOut.com, are completely free and allows people browse profiles without having to be a registered member. It's important that you post your profile with an updated, friendly photo of yourself and showing your face. Not only does "getting out there" make it easier to find women, but it also increases the chances that they will approach you out of the blue as well.

If you are meeting women offline, make sure you have good hygiene. Take a shower, brush your teeth, make sure your hair looks clean, make sure your clothes are clean, and put on some deodorant or cologne. These are really simple "low hanging fruit" items that will attract all women and improve your chances of her liking you more - it makes you more approachable. Guys, think of it this way: would you be comfortable approaching (or kissing) a smelly woman with dirty teeth with food stuck in them, greasy hair, and who hasn't had a shower in a week? Or would you prefer cozying up and chatting with a clean woman?

Show Her That You Like Her

Once you've found someone interesting or attractive, you'll want to give her some hints that you are interested in her. Make yourself look friendly, say a simple "hello" with a friendly smile. Give her a light compliment, such as how nice her hair looks, how pretty her shirt is or how beautiful her eyes are. Most men do not appreciate the time and effort it takes for a girl to get her hair, makeup and fashion set up nicely. So even a small and simple compliment may make her day and make her happy. However, do not go overboard complimenting her sex appeal and her "great sexy body" - don't make yourself look like a pervert only interested in sex!

If you are more confident, be a little bolder and initiate some light, friendly flirting. Keep it appropriate and light hearted, don't go overboard on this either. There are other subtle body language tips you can take advantage of as well. For example, if she is talking, lean slightly forwards towards her, but not too much that it freaks her out. Also, light, playful and quick touching can help as well, such as touching her arms, hands, or shoulders with your hands. Keep the touching quick, don't grab and don't touch for a long period of time. Psychological studies on body language and dating suggest that light touching and being close to her will give her the feeling that you like her and that you are friendly.

Bonus Tip: On the subject of body language, you can also talk more softly or quieter than normal. If she moves in closer to you (rather than telling you to speak louder), it's a potential sign that she also has an interest in you. Studies show that if she is facing you and has good eye contact, she might be into you. However, if half her body is turned away from you, or preoccupied with her phone, she might not be interested (or she may be nervous or bored).

Listen, Be Thoughtful and Pay Attention to Her Interests

Keep in mind her interests and be thoughtful, pay attention to her when she talks! Not only does this give you more information for "small talk" ideas, it can help engage in an intelligent conversation. This is a great way to get to "know" her. Maybe you'll find out you really don't like her, or maybe you'll discover you have something very much in common, a shared interest perhaps. Get her to talk more about herself and her interests. Not only will she enjoy talking about topics that are comfortable and familiar to her, she'll begin to like you a lot more if you show an interest and that you are someone she can talk to! Always keep in mind: Do not continuously talk about yourself on and on, keep the conversation balanced.

Note: Do not feel obligated get into a conversation every time you meet each other. If you are passing by her during work hours for example or during her lunch, a simple hello is enough and then continue on with your business. If she feels like she needs to engage in a deep conversation every time she sees you, she may get annoyed and it will turn her off quickly, especially if you already talk all the time. It also risks awkward situations and awkward silence if suddenly you (or her) can't think of anything else to talk about!

Make Her Smile

Marilyn Monroe said a great piece of advice that men should keep in mind: "If you can make a woman smile, you can make her do anything." If you want to get a girl to like you, you should try to make her smile. If you are a comedian or a funny guy, you have a great advantage as you will be pretty likeable to most people, including women. Some tips to help make her smile:

1. Tease her a little bit - Do a little light-hearted teasing and don't be afraid to joke around with her. However, don't go overboard and say anything mean. Play around a bit, let her see that you are a real person.
2. Joke about yourself - Make fun of yourself a bit, although do not be self-depreciating. For example, act a bit nerdy, goofy or dorky. The goal of making fun of yourself is to make her feel more comfortable around you and she can be herself, and she'll smile, be happy and have a good time around you at the same time.
3. Be silly sometimes - Try things like pretending role playing. For example, pretending to be husband/wife, stalker/victim, scientists, rock stars, astronauts, etc. Make up goofy, light-hearted conversations every now and then to make things fun.
4. Smile at her - Even something as simple as smiling at her, even in a goofy way, will likely make herself smile as well.

Tell her she is beautiful - We covered the tip before, but this almost always works in getting her to smile. There was an interesting social experiment awhile back that showed what people looked like after being told they were beautiful and what they looked like beforehand. The result showed that they almost always lit up smiling and were extremely happy. So there is definitely something to it and something to keep in mind as it helps improves your chances of getting girls to like you. This may just help you get a date.

Play Hard to Get - Don't Obsess Over Her

Sometimes "playing hard to get" will turn a girl on. It doesn't always work and it depends on the girl, so we'll explain how this works and how to not overdo it. First of all, you don't want to be around a girl all the time, constantly trying to get her attention. Not only can this result in you becoming an annoyance, she may get bored with you as well or she might think you are too needy or clingy.

When you are just getting to know a girl, don't tell them your entire life story. Remain a bit of a mystery for awhile. Just tell them some interesting highlights in your life. That way she won't lose interest and she'll probably want to talk about the subject again sometime. Give her more reason to keep conversations going in the future and more reason for her to like you.

Don't be afraid to talk to other women - Talk to other women while your girl is with you, so she knows she has other competition. Don't overdo it to the point where she gets angry, make sure you treat her a little more special though. Also, if she is around her own friends, don't be afraid to compliment her in front of other women, this will make her very happy. Don't be afraid to make friends with her friends - However, don't flirt with her friends! Girls often ask their friends for advice.

Other Tips to Get Her to Like You

1. Be yourself - Just be yourself, don't try to be someone that you aren't. It's not only hard to do, it's also artificial (and comes off as fake if you are a bad actor). Being yourself is good for the long run.
2. First impressions stick - Make sure you are well groomed, friendly and smiling. When you are in a conversation with a woman of interest for the first time, you may want to leave when you are having the best time, instead of waiting until there is nothing left to talk about. That way she remembers you as the fun, interesting guy who she had an great conversation with, and not the awkward silence boring guy when the conversation was exhausted with nothing else to say.
3. When you want to hang out, don't ask "would you like to hang out with me on Saturday?". Instead, say "I'm going to (insert location or activity) on Saturday, want to hang out?". Let her know that you are already going to a place or an activity anyways, whether she comes or not. This puts much less pressure on her to make a decision.
4. Tell her that you like her - If you have the confidence, come right out and let her know that you like her and that you are interested in her.
5. If you get rejected, be polite - Don't insult her, don't call her names, don't be mean and don't keep asking if she rejects you. She now knows that you have an interest in her and maybe she got put on the spot. She will very likely think about it later and it will stay in her mind. After some thought, she may come back and decide to ask you out or decide that she is interested in you, and will give you clear signals later on. Give her time!
