Don’t stare at him from across the room. This may come across as creepy. Instead, if your eyes happen to meet, give him a small smile and then look away.
Don’t feel like you have to laugh at a joke you find offensive. It’s more important to stick to what you believe in than to make him feel good about himself.
Try letting out a small gasp, as if you just remembered something, and grabbing his arm or shoulder as you tell him what it is. Avoid touching his leg unless the two of you are close friends. This is a much more personal action that may come across too strong if you don’t know each other well.
Only go to things he told you about or are common knowledge. Don’t show up at something you discovered by reading all his Facebook comments.
If it’s a movie, you could also invite him over to watch it with you. This is a good casual way to find out if he wants to spend extra time with you.
If he says no but doesn’t have a good reason, this may be a sign that he doesn’t return your feelings.
Read the highlights from his favorite team’s most recent game, then ask him if he caught any of it. Research upcoming video games that will be released soon and ask him if he plans to buy one of them. Don’t lie and pretend you know more than you do about these things. Be honest and say something like, “I don’t know much about it, but it looks cool. ”
Compliments don’t always have to be about appearances. Tell him he has great taste in music or that he’s a good artist.
It doesn’t have to be funny. Pick an interesting article online and send him the link, saying something like, “This reminded me of our conversation yesterday. ”
If he says no, tell him that’s ok. Say something like, “Never hurts to ask,” then smile and start talking about something else.
