Smile when You Make Eye Contact

There’s no harm in giving a guy you like a sweet smile when he looks at you. There’s no need to even be standing right next to one another, so there’s no way a smile could come across as being clingy at all.

UPD:

Smiling when you make eye contact is a great way to show someone you are interested without being too clingy. It's a subtle way to show that you are attracted to someone without them feeling overwhelmed. Smiling is also a universal sign of friendliness and can be a great way to start a conversation.

Smiling when you make eye contact can also be a great way to boost your self-confidence. It can help you feel more comfortable in your own skin and make you more likely to approach the person you’re interested in. It can also help you appear more approachable and inviting.

When you smile at someone you’re interested in, make sure to keep your body language relaxed and open. Don’t cross your arms or fidget. Make sure to maintain eye contact and keep your smile genuine. A real smile will make the other person feel appreciated and will make them more likely to respond positively.

Give Him a Compliment

Compliment him on his attire, something he said, or anything else you can think of. As long as the compliment is sincere and doesn’t come across as being a cheesy pick-up line, it should be genuinely accepted. Don’t try to give him a string of compliments all at once or you might come across as being a bit too needy.

UPD:

Compliments are a great way to show someone you are interested in them without being too clingy. It is important to make sure the compliments you give are sincere and not cheesy. Complimenting someone on their outfit or something they said is a great way to show them you are interested in them. You should avoid giving too many compliments all at once as this could come across as being too needy.

When complimenting someone, it is important to make sure the compliments are genuine and not just a way to try to get their attention. If you are genuine in your compliments, the person you are complimenting will be more likely to appreciate them. It is also important to make sure the compliments are not too over the top. Compliments that are too over the top can come across as insincere or even desperate.

It is also important to be aware of the person’s body language when you are giving them a compliment. If they seem uncomfortable or uninterested in the compliment, it is best to stop and move on. It is also important to be aware of the context of the situation. Complimenting someone in a professional setting may be seen as inappropriate or unprofessional.

Stand Next to Him Occasionally

Getting closer to him requires a bit of tact, in order to keep him from thinking you are stalking him. You don’t want to creep him out before you even get a chance to get to know him properly. If you can come up with a legitimate reason for standing next to a guy you like, then he might be less likely to shy away from your closeness.

UPD:

When you like someone, it can be difficult to know how to show your interest without being too clingy. You want to make sure that your crush knows you’re interested, but you don’t want to scare them away. Here are seven ways to demonstrate your interest in him without being too clingy.

One way to show your interest is to stand next to him occasionally. This is a subtle way to get closer to him without making it obvious that you are interested. Make sure you have a legitimate reason for standing next to him, and be sure to give him enough space.

You can also initiate conversations with him. Start by talking about topics that interest both of you, and gradually move on to more personal topics. This will give you an opportunity to get to know him better and show him that you’re interested in him.

Another way to show your interest is to give him compliments. Complimenting him on his looks, his personality, or his interests will make him feel good and show him that you are paying attention to him.

Listen Intently when He Has Something to Say

People like it when others pay attention to what they are saying. You can show a guy you like that you are interested in what he has to say by letting him know you are listening closely. Tossing in a couple of comments to make him more aware that you are actually listening couldn’t hurt either.

3

Laugh at His Jokes

What guy doesn’t enjoy being the center of attention? Laughing at a guy’s jokes or witty comments is a great way to show him you are interested. This is merely a sign of admiration and doesn’t come across as being clingy to most guys.

Famous Quotes

To give oneself earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom.

Confucius

Gently Lay Your Hand on His Arm to Get His Attention

As long as you don’t grab onto his arm and hang there for a long period of time, he shouldn’t feel too weirded out. If you have a question to ask him or are going to pay him a compliment, then gingerly touch his arm or hand to get his attention before speaking your piece.

Talk to Him when You Get a Chance

Simple chatter is rarely considered to be clingy behavior. Find out how he’s doing, chat about current events, or start up a conversation about something you might both have in common. Don’t following him around and try to keep the conversation going. If he politely excuses himself, then leave it at that.

I think these 7 ways to show you are interested in him without being too clingy should help you interact with a guy in a way that won’t scare him off from the start. What other ways can you show your interest and not appear to be overly needy to a guy?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Hi :3 So, about this guy in my grade. I have liked him since the third grade and I just can NOT keep him OUTTA my head. We hang out a lot and we are pretty comfortable around each other. We could talk for hours. In fifth grade, he moved away so we didn't talk for a whole year. He came back in sixth grade but we didn't really hang out or talk. We started hanging out and talking again in seventh grade, and while i was dating someone else he told me that he really liked me and was going to ask me out a while ago. Now, i think i actually love him... I have had my friend ask him if he likes me, and he said that he wasn't looking for a relationship and if he was then, probably. (exact quote) He has been talking about moving again and I can't let him go :( What do I dooo?

Hello ! So here's my story .. When i was with friends before like a month ago i saw a boy and i can't describe how much i liked him without even knowing him .. Well we were sitting at the bus station just like 20 meters from him and he was constantly watching me ..I did too .. When we get on the bus i was so desperate cause i'll never see him again , .. after a week i saw him again and he looked at me back !!! so yeah that turns my interest more.. but it turns out i have him in my Facebook friends.. so after 3 weeks wondering i decided to write him just a simple smile and he returns.. so we started chatting and on the other day he and his group had a concert on the center of the city .. so he told me to go and listen to them cause i told him i haven't heard them never.. okay so while he was singing i was watching to him but he looked at me again with that strange look which honestly i don't know what are his intentions.. after the concert i decided to go there and talk to him , but then i though .. Would he recognize me? Does he even remember me? I went there , but he was giving some autographs so i decided to wait a little bit .. i made a step to him and i turned back again .. And i did that like 3 times .. At the end i told my friends to call a taxi and go home i was feeling so horrible , because i was waiting for him all night just to see him or talk or something .. so while we were going to the taxi i decided to turn back one more time and see him .. and guess what HE WAS smiling and looking and waved at ME.. at first i decided that he waves at someone else BUT NO it was me .. so i went there and he told me : Blabla officcialy my name is Ivaylo i'm so glad to meet you and he told me that now he remembers who am i .. so we talked for a bit and i went home .. And i decided to tell him what i think about his band and stuff , but he haven't answered me yet and he was in Facebook i saw him so my question is What do i do know ? Will i look to stupid if i write him again ? Or he just didn't see the message or just doesn't wanna write to me ? Please tell me what to do , because i can't stop thinking about him and i seriously have no idea what are his intentions and i think i'm going crazy .. or at least i will if something doesn't happen Soon .. I really am sorry for writing so much , but i just don't know who to ask for advice anymore.. i will appreciate every answer of yours .. Thank you very much !!

Ok help please! I have fallen for my Personal Trainer hook line and sinker! We have both come from relationships, although mine is over his is still on/off! I genuinely believed he liked me back, all the signs were there and he certainly was more than friendly in our training sessions. I got a bit drunk a few weekends ago and told him I like him! He laughed it off saying he couldnt comment back because he was in a complicated relationship and could we leave it. I found out that the next weekend he went on a date with his on/off girlfriend so I was quite upset and hurt, I rushed in and asked him to just be blunt with me about how he feels! He just asked me to draw a line under everything but at the same time asked me to keep going to see him because he enjoys my company at training! Monday he ignored me at the gym, last night he waved at me from across the gym and my training session is Friday. I literally don't know what to do or say? I honestly feek deep down he does like me but he is obviously professionally obligated to not do anything and has a girlfriend! Do I cut my loses and keep training with him knowing I am smitten with him and can't have him (in the hope one day he will change his mind) or cut and run completely?

i hate posting comments with out my full user name showing

I really like this guy and he says he likes me back but he ignores my texts (I know this because me and a friend were texting him at the same time) and is distancing himself from me. I chatted to him last week and asked why he's not talking to me lately after he kissed me and told me he likes me in the same way I like him but he just said that he was worrying about me and didnt want to confuse me anymore because I had broken up with my boyfriend a few weeks before this happened. I have fell head over heels for him but all my friends are warning me that he's a 'player', do you think this might be the case? I really hope it isn't because I've never felt so much for someone before..

Hi(: So, I have been friends with a guy in my grade since 3rd grade and I have ALWAYS liked him, even when I have been in a relationship with someone else. He moved in fifth grade so we stopped talking that year and he moved back in sixth grade and he has stayed since. He has been talking about getting his mom to move again and..I love him. I really want him to stay and he used to like me but I don't think he knows now. What do I do? :(
