Ways to Make a Guy Go Crazy for You often seem like a mystery wrapped in an enigma, but fear not! Whether you're still in the butterfly-filled early stages or navigating the intricate dance of a long-term relationship in 2024, there are some tried-and-true strategies guaranteed to drive him wild—in a good way. I've combed through mountains of relationship advice (not to mention a handful of my own cringe-worthy experiences) to bring you this guide. Trust me, I've been in your shoes, and I've got the emotional calluses to prove it.
Let's kick things off on a high note! Let's talk about unlocking the art of flirtation. Mastering the art of flirtation isn't just for the extroverts among us. Remember, subtlety can be your greatest asset. A well-timed compliment, a casual touch (we're talking "accidental" brush of the hand, not full-on bear hug), and a little playful teasing can go a long way. It’s like weaving a spell, and before you know it, he’s hooked! This isn't rocket science, but hey, if NASA called looking for you, we wouldn't be surprised.
Next up, we’ve got the classic, yet eternally relevant, communication techniques. Effective communication is not just about talking; it's also about listening and understanding. Show genuine interest in his world, from his favorite video games to that obscure band he's obsessed with. Ask questions, offer insights, and, for heaven’s sake, put your phone down when he’s talking! In this 2024 digital age, giving someone your full attention is like handing them a golden ticket. Spoiler alert: It works wonders.
Speaking of attention, let’s talk about the importance of self-confidence*. Confidence is ridiculously attractive. I know, easier said than done, right? But confidence doesn't mean walking around like you own the place (although self-assured strides never hurt). It means being comfortable in your own skin. Wear that outfit that makes you feel unstoppable, pursue your hobbies, and don't be afraid to share your passions. After all, enthusiasm is contagious. Before you know it, he’ll be not just crazy about you but also cheering for you from the sidelines.
Lastly, it’s crucial to introduce a dash of mystery* and surprise into the mix. Ever wonder why those thriller movies keep you on the edge of your seat? A little unpredictability can be just as thrilling in a relationship. Plan a spontaneous date, send a surprise note, or simply change up your routine. Keep him guessing, and he’ll be perpetually intrigued.
So buckle up, because this journey promises to be both fun and enlightening. Let’s dive in and explore the 21 foolproof ways to make any guy absolutely crazy for you.

21. Gaze into His Eyes
You're sitting in a crowded room—a bar, a library on campus, or a coffee shop— and then you see him. That guy with a glowing personality you could see from a mile away, and every physical feature you love on a guy! So what do you do? How do you make him go crazy over you in that instant? It's a small tip that makes a big difference: gaze into his eyes! Now, don't be creepy and look like a rag doll! Blink gently, and gaze softly at him with a slight smile. He's bound to notice you and be inspired to come talk to you!
This tip is one of the 21 foolproof ways to make a guy go crazy for you. When you see the guy you like in a crowded room, make sure to make eye contact with him. Gaze at him softly with a slight smile and blink gently. This simple gesture will make him notice you and be inspired to come talk to you. Remember to be confident and friendly when he does approach you. A little bit of flirting can go a long way in making him go crazy for you.
20. Wear Perfume
This tip might sound silly or superficial, but believe it or not, guys like that women have signature scents. One of my old boyfriends actually still remembers mine from high school! Don't douse yourself with perfume, but pick a simple, flirty or sexy perfume and apply just a little. Wear the same one each time you're around him. Unless he buys you a new one, which might signify he doesn't like the one you chose, chances are he'll love that you smell the same way each time you're around him. It's a sense of comfort, seduction and romance all wrapped up in one!
Frequently asked questions
Playing hard to get might increase interest for a short time, but it's not a guarantee. It's important to balance showing interest with maintaining your own life and hobbies.
While physical appearance can play a role in initial attraction, it's not the only thing that matters. Personality, confidence, and emotional connection often hold more weight in the long term.
Many guys find confidence, a good sense of humor, kindness, and independence attractive in someone's behavior. Being yourself and showing respect are also key.
To get a guy's attention, show confidence, be genuine, and share your interests. Smile, make eye contact, and start a light conversation to draw him in.
To keep a guy interested long-term, build a strong emotional connection, communicate openly, support each other's goals, and keep the relationship fresh with new experiences and shared moments.
19. Be Open to Try New Things
You should be open to try new things even when you're single, but especially when you're in a relationship! We all have fears, but sometimes love is the best motivation to overcome them! If he wants to go sky diving for his birthday, or try Ethiopian food for your anniversary, don't hesitate to try something new! That will show that you care about him and aren't afraid to have fun. Now who doesn't love that?
Adventurous experiences can reignite the spark and give you both a rush of adrenaline. Imagine the bond you'll create while conquering fears together or discovering new passions. Who knows, it may even become a tradition or a special story you share. So when he suggests a spontaneous road trip or a salsa dancing class, jump at the chance! It's your enthusiasm to embrace life alongside him that'll make you irresistible. After all, "Yes, let's do it!" is way sexier than "Maybe another time."
18. Be Unpredictable
He's not the only one who can spring new, fun things to do on you! You can have plans for unexpected, fun adventures, too. Not all men like surprises, but for many the mystery and intruige surrounding an unpredictable woman is exciting! Aim to always be a little bit unpredictable to keep things interesting and get him to go crazy over you!
He's not the only one who can spring new, fun things to do on you! You can have plans for unexpected, fun adventures, too. Not all men like surprises, but for many the mystery and intrigue surrounding an unpredictable woman is exciting! Aim to always be a little bit unpredictable to keep things interesting and get him to go crazy over you! Plan spontaneous trips, surprise him with tickets to a concert, or even try a new hobby together. Keep him on his toes and he'll be eagerly anticipating what amazing idea you'll come up with next. Keep the spark alive by embracing unpredictability!
17. Be Low Maintenance
First, gauge what type of guy you're with. Some guys love showering you in gifts, watching you get ready, and other "high maintenance" activities. However, most guys won't want to feel like they NEED to compensate for your high maintenance needs. Learn how to go with the flow and not sweat the small stuff if you want to keep the flame going between you and your man.

16. Get Your Hands Dirty
Maybe you've only gone on a few dates, and each one was to a nice, classy restaraunt. If that's the case, then he hasn't really seen the down-to-earth side of you. Don't be afraid to dress down into some jeans and a T-shirt and get your hands dirty! Go on an outdoor date or help him work on his car. Show him that you're not just another pretty face and he’ll be sure to fall head over heels!
15. Avoid Insecurity
Insecurity is a very unnattractive trait in a girlfriend. If a guy is with you, then he thinks you're beautiful! Being insecure and complaining about how you look can frankly get pretty annoying! So always put on an attitude of confidence when you meet new guys or get in a relationship.
14. Don't Try to Change Him
If you hate your guy's shoes or the way he wears his hair, but you sure do adore him, please just let him be! Don't try to play dress up with your guy or ask him to change his hair. He'll likely send you on your way if he's smart. If you don't like him for his odd tastes and all, then maybe you should reconsider what you're looking for in a guy.
13. Get along with His Friends
Guys will be loyal to their friends in the end, as should women too. No matter how much you might not really like what who he hangs around with, try your best to get along with them. If the relationship is harmed by the friendship, have a concerned, genuine conversation with him about it in a rational way. Don't just be rude to his friends.
12. Ask about His Family
Be sure when you get into a relationship with a guy that you ask about his family. This will send him over the moon for you! You should genuinely care enough to ask him about his family, and by doing so, it shows you're not only interested in him, but also in the people he loves as well.
11. Show You're Responsible
Be financially responsible, don't get drunk in public, and don't display yourself like a teenage girl trying to get attention. Showing you're responsible is a great way to hook a guy. You can still have fun and be responsible. No guy wants a long term thing with a girl that flies by the seat of her pants or can't even manage her paycheck.
10. Show Him Your Independence
First of all, you need to show him your independence. It is important that you show the guy just how strong you really are. Men have a tendency to be attracted to those women that are independent. If you think sticking with the man at all times and relying on him will work, then you may want to think again.
9. You Are Not a Parasite
Constantly sticking to a man and following him around is not going to make him want you more. You do not always have to be in front of him preparing yourself to do anything he wants. Therefore, it is important that you give him some space.
8. Do Not Take His Place
As much as I always talk about equality, there are some roles that you cannot do when you are in a strong relationship. When you allow a man to show his masculinity, he will take the lead. You should be thankful when he steps in and helps you in some way.
7. Know How to Enjoy Your Life
If you have a gloomy appearance and are always looking sad and depressed, then you cannot expect to attract a man.
6. Give Support when Relevant
No matter how strong someone is, even men, there are always points in their life when they will need to have some type of support. When you see that he needs it, you should be there for him and help him out.
5. Always Be Pretty
When many women get married, they let themselves go simply because they have already have their man. You should not let yourself go. If you went to the salon to get your hair done before you were married, then keep doing it. If you were smart when he first married you, then stay smart!
4. Jealousy
I have seen many girls that try to spend as much time with their friends in order to make their guy jealous. This will drive him crazy thinking of those long hours with your friends. While I would never do this, there are some girls out there that will recommend this. Again, it all depends on who you are. The more he craves for your company, the more he is going to go crazy for you.
3. Be a Great Listener
One sure way to get a boyfriend is to pay attention to him. When he is talking, you should show him that you are interested in him by listening to him. Guys love it when they have a girl that cares about them and it drives them crazy. Don't be self centered and always talk about your desires and your life. Give him some space and let him speak his mind. Men like it when they are appreciated and praised for their actions.
2. Make Yourself Unique
There are many women out there that are attractive too. You need to do something that sets you apart from them. Find something that is unique and go with it.
1. Just Be Yourself
In the end, you should just be yourself. Do not try to be like some super star you once saw on television. Be yourself and earn his respect.
To make a guy go crazy over you, just follow my 21 tips. Again, these are tips I used and I have been married for 6 years (ever since I was 18). If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask me and I will try my best to answer them. If I can't, then someone else on the blog will be able to. Also, feel free to share your experiences. What do you do to set yourself apart from the other girls? How did you make your man fall head over heels in love with you?
