Do you find yourself daydreaming about a certain guy?
You know, that one person who seems to fill your thoughts, your dreams, and your heart with a longing so intense it almost takes your breath away?
His smile, his voice, the way he walks, the way he talks – everything about him seems to draw you in.
Maybe he’s the guy who sits across from you in your chemistry class, the charming co-worker who’s always the life of the office, or perhaps he’s a friend who you’ve started seeing in a new light.
Whoever he is, you want him to see you, to notice you, and hopefully, to want you just as much as you want him.
But, here’s the thing – how do you go about it? How do you get him to notice you without seeming desperate or losing your dignity?
You want to be genuine, yet intriguing. You want to stand out, yet not appear overly eager. The dilemma can feel overwhelming, almost paralyzing.
But guess what? You’re not the first to be in this position. Many girls have been in your shoes.
That said, if you want a guy so bad and you want him to notice you, follow these 15 steps.
1. Show Genuine Interest in His Interests
One of the ways to get someone to notice you is to tap into what they’re passionate about.
And no, this doesn’t mean you have to pretend to be a football enthusiast when you can’t tell a touchdown from a field goal.
Instead, learn about his interests, show curiosity, and engage in conversations about them.
Why, you ask? Well, this makes him see that you’re not just interested in him, but also the things that make him who he is.
This doesn’t mean you have to morph into a clone of him. Keeping your interests and passions is equally essential to maintain a healthy individuality.
But showing some interest in his world? That’s just another form of saying you care.
2. Make Your Confidence Shine
It’s an age-old saying that confidence is attractive, but it’s not just a cliché—it’s actually true.
When you’re confident, you not only feel good about yourself but also project an image that’s hard to ignore. Now, that’s something that would make anyone, let alone him, take notice.
How do you amp up your confidence? Start by acknowledging your self-worth. Be proud of your accomplishments, however small they may be.
Walk with a straight back, talk clearly, and don’t shy away from expressing your opinions. Be the person who’s not afraid to take up space in the world.
Confidence doesn’t mean being loud or aggressive. It’s about believing in yourself, your abilities, and your worth. And when you believe in yourself, others start to see it too.

3. Be Authentic and Be You
In the pursuit of making someone notice us, we often forget to be ourselves. Pretending to be someone you’re not is not a sustainable strategy. Sooner or later, the façade fades, and then what?
So, stay true to yourself. It might sound like a platitude, but it’s genuinely the best way to get noticed.
Your quirks, your passions, your values—these are the things that make you unique, and they’re worth showcasing.
Sure, not everyone will like the ‘real’ you. But that’s perfectly okay. The goal isn’t to make everyone like you but to find someone who appreciates you for who you truly are.
4. Showcase Your Intelligence
Brains over beauty? Well, why not both? You’ve probably heard that men are visual creatures, and while there’s some truth to that, it doesn’t mean they aren’t attracted to intelligence.
Showcasing your intellect doesn’t mean showing off your IQ or flaunting your degrees.
It means engaging in stimulating conversations, showing your awareness about the world, and demonstrating your ability to think critically.
Next time you’re with him, bring up an interesting book you’ve read or share an insightful documentary you watched recently.
Show him that you have opinions and ideas, and aren’t afraid to discuss them. Intelligence my dear, is a trait that’s hard for anyone to ignore.
5. Practice Good Listening Skills
Good listening skills are incredibly attractive. It shows that you’re not just wrapped up in your world, but you’re also interested in understanding others.
When he’s talking, listen. And by listening, I mean really listen—don’t just nod while waiting for your turn to speak.
Show him that his words matter and that his thoughts and feelings are valued. Ask follow-up questions to show you’re engaged and interested.
Listening is more than just being quiet. It’s about being present, showing empathy, and understanding the other person’s perspective.
And honestly, who wouldn’t notice someone who genuinely listens?

6. Embrace Your Unique Sense of Humor
Who doesn’t love a good laugh? There’s something incredibly captivating about someone who can tickle your funny bone or even just appreciate a good joke.
So, don’t be afraid to let your humor shine through.
On a lighter note, sharing a joke can also act as a great icebreaker, easing any tension or awkwardness.
But more than that, humor gives a glimpse into your personality, your mindset, and your view of the world. And trust me, that’s a view he’s going to want to explore.
Also, don’t forget to laugh at his jokes too. But only when they’re genuinely funny, of course! Authentic laughter can create a sense of camaraderie, a shared moment that’s hard to forget.
7. Make a Little Mystery
I’m not suggesting you should start acting like a character from a detective novel.
However, there’s something undeniably intriguing about a person who holds back just a little, leaving some things to the imagination. It keeps the other person guessing and wanting to know more.
Maintaining a bit of mystery doesn’t mean you should start acting aloof.
Instead, it’s about revealing yourself gradually, bit by bit, allowing him to discover different facets of your personality over time.
Sharing personal stories, dreams, and experiences is necessary in building connections, but so is preserving a sense of individuality and intrigue.
It’s that perfect balance that can hook someone’s interest, creating a desire to dig deeper.

8. Display Kindness and Compassion
One of the most attractive qualities a person can possess is kindness. The world is often cynical and harsh, small acts of kindness can shine like a beacon.
And trust me, he’s going to notice that beacon.
Show compassion towards others, be it your friends, family, or even the barista who gets your coffee order wrong.
Treating others with respect and understanding says a lot about who you are as a person. And that’s a message worth broadcasting.
Also note that kindness isn’t just about how you treat others. It’s also about how you treat yourself.
Practice self-love and self-care. Show him that you know your worth and that you aren’t willing to settle for anything less.
Kindness, my friend, is an underrated quality. But once it’s seen, it’s rarely forgotten. And that’s precisely the kind of impression you want to leave.
9. Be Positive
Positivity is attractive and contagious. Being around a positive person can lift our spirits, inspire us, and make us feel good.
And who wouldn’t want to be around someone who makes them feel good?
Now, being positive doesn’t mean you need to be bubbling with joy every moment of the day. We all have our ups and downs, and that’s perfectly okay.
It’s about maintaining an overall optimistic outlook on life, focusing more on solutions rather than problems, and seeing the silver lining in the cloud.
An optimistic person tends to draw people in, creating an environment that’s encouraging and uplifting.
So go ahead, let your positive vibes flow, and you’ll find him gravitating towards your light.
10. Use Body Language
A warm smile, a casual touch, maintaining eye contact—these are all subtle cues that can convey interest and attraction.
Body language often communicates much more than our words do. It can express interest and curiosity. So why not use this silent language to make him notice you?
But remember, body language should be natural and comfortable. Don’t force it. If you’re not the touchy-feely type, that’s okay.
You can use other forms of body language, like a simple nod to show you’re engaged in the conversation, or leaning in slightly to show interest.
11. Create Shared Experiences
Simple activities, like a walk in the park, a movie night, or even a study session together can be quite effective.
Shared experiences allow you both to create memories, which naturally bring people closer.
They offer an opportunity for you both to interact in a relaxed setting, which can help build a connection.
What’s more, these experiences give you a chance to showcase your personality in different scenarios, making you more noticeable.
And they also give you a chance to get to know him better, understand what makes him tick, which is equally important.
So, don’t wait for things to happen. Take the initiative to plan some activities together.
It’s a surefire way to get his attention and, who knows, you might even create some wonderful memories together.

12. Maintain Your Independence
There’s something incredibly attractive about a person who can stand on their own two feet.
Independence shows that you’re capable and that you value yourself. These are qualities that can certainly make you stand out.
Being independent is about showing that you can handle things on your own. This doesn’t mean you don’t appreciate his company or support. It just means you’re not completely reliant on it.
Having your interests, pursuits, and goals can make you appear more interesting and dynamic. And this can definitely make him notice you.
So, while it’s nice to spend time with him and create shared experiences, make sure you also maintain your own space and interests.
Trust me, your independence can be one of your most attractive qualities.
13. Be Supportive
Everyone wants someone who can stand by their side, especially during tough times. Being supportive doesn’t mean you have to agree with everything he says or does.
It’s about being there for him when he needs it, encouraging him, and showing empathy.
Your support can be a source of comfort for him, and it can also make you a person he values and respects. Show him that you’re not just there for the good times, but also for the challenging ones.
14. Keep Things Light and Fun
Keeping things light and fun can make you someone he enjoys being around.
This doesn’t mean you have to avoid serious conversations. It’s about bringing positivity and enjoyment into your interactions.
A playful banter here, and a spontaneous outing there, can inject a dose of fun into your time together.
Relationships, even in the earliest stages, shouldn’t be all about stress and seriousness.
There should be room for laughter, fun, and enjoyment. And being the person who brings these elements can certainly make you outstanding.
15. Be Patient
Getting someone to notice you, especially someone who means a lot to you, can take time.
Being patient doesn’t mean sitting back and just waiting for things to happen. It’s about giving the relationship time to develop naturally.
Sometimes, the more you rush things, the more likely you are to make mistakes or seem desperate.
While you’re being patient, continue to be your wonderful self. Continue to be confident, to be kind, to be positive, to be supportive—continue to be the person you are.
And who knows, in time, your patience may just pay off. And when it does, you’ll find that it was well worth the wait.
