Don’t be afraid to show off your sense of humor, even if you think it’s a little quirky or offbeat for his taste. Girls are sometimes afraid to show boys their sense of humor because they think it’s not “cute”; the truth is, many guys love nothing more than a girl who can make them laugh. You can playfully tease him, even go out on a limb and tell him a corny joke, or just make funny observations about your teachers, TV shows, or your mutual friends. He’ll be even more interested in you once he sees you can crack him up. Really, talking to a boy you like isn’t different from talking to one of your girlfriends. Don’t try to censor yourself in the humor department and just be your same old funny self. Another way to get a guy’s attention is to give him a little compliment. This can mean telling him you like his shirt, or compliment a hat with his favorite sports team’s logo on it while saying you’re a fan of the team, or going to his basketball game with a few of your friends and telling him he did a great job afterwards. You don’t have to mention anything that may be too forward, like telling him he has nice eyes, or that may make him blush a little too much. But mentioning something he’s good at or something he’s wearing may make him notice you. Don’t go overboard. Just say something like, “Nice job in the game today” or “I like your new shoes” to get his attention. Another way to keep the boy interested is to show that you don’t take yourself super seriously at all and that you’re able to take a joke. You can lightly make fun of yourself without sounding insecure, or just talk about how much fun you’re having on your soccer team without worrying about how good you are. There’s no need to be super stressed about school, your friendships, or your outside activities, and you should show that you can roll with the punches. Guys like it when girls are motivated but also when they don’t worry too much, because it’s more fun to loosen up and have a good time.  Try to avoid talking worrying about how you come off all the time and focus on enjoying the moment. It’s much more important to enjoy yourself than to have a perfect image. Focus on talking about all the good things you’re looking forward to doing, instead of worrying about everything that can go wrong for you. If you want to keep the guy interested, then you have to show him that you’re interested in who he is as a person. You don’t need to interrogate him, but you should make an effort to get to know him, from talking about his siblings to his favorite bands or TV shows. Make sure that there’s a balance between talking about yourself and asking the guy a few questions, and give him time to open up. Here are some great things you can ask him questions about:  His favorite TV shows, bands, or movies His favorite sports teams His hobbies or interests His pets His weekend or summer plans If you want the guy to really like you and even to see you as a potential girlfriend, then you shouldn’t get your friends to talk to him for you or to text him or give him notes. Though it may be less scary to communicate with him this way, he’ll be much more impressed if you’re mature enough to talk to him yourself. If you have something important to say to him, then take a deep breath and muster up the courage to say it yourself. Your friends may even offer to talk to him for you. It may be tempting, but you should gently turn them down, explaining that you’d rather talk to him yourself. If you want to keep the boy’s interest, then you should let him know what makes him special. This doesn’t mean you have to give him a list of all of your favorite things about him, but it can help if you show him that you really notice what makes him stand out. You can mention how much you like his sense of humor, how easy it is to talk to him, or just a reason why he’s not like the other boys he knows. Once you get to know each other and it’s pretty clear you like each other, then letting him know how you feel can make him see that you really get him.  You can say something like, “It’s so easy for you to talk to almost anyone. How do you do that?” You can also say, “You never fail to crack me up.” You can also say, “I feel like you really understand me. It’s easy to tell you anything.” Though wowing a guy with your charm and confidence can go a long way, if you want to keep him interested, then you have to find common ground so you can find something to talk about. You don’t have to have everything in common, but it would be nice if you liked some of the same bands, TV shows, sports teams, celebrities, or even outdoor activities. Work to find something that you like and find a way to explore that interest together, like going to a baseball game, watching a movie together, or even reading the same book and then talking about it. Here are some things you can have in common:  Favorite bands Favorite TV shows Favorite movies Similar upbringing Having siblings Favorite foods or restaurants Shared sense of humor
