If there’s one thing that’s hard for most women to figure out, it’s how to get a guy to like you and legitimately care about you. The truth is, it can take a bit of effort to make a guy start catching feelings, especially if they’re a bit obtuse.

That being said, getting a guy to care about you — and maybe even fall in love with you — might be possible if you know what to do.

People who know how to make a man fall in love do these 10 things (without ever looking desperate)

1. Talk to him about intimate details of your life, and ask him about his

5. Back off if you think he’s taking you for granted
