The more you smile, the more he’ll like you. Give it a try! Smiles tend to be as contagious as laughter when they are authentic and reflect your personality.

2. Flatter him, sincerely

If you like something about him, tell him. Men love compliments and feel more confident when they know you like them.

3. Break the touch barrier

A small touch will tell him you are attracted to him. Neurobiological research reinforces that touching his arm or leaning against him slightly breaks the touch barrier as a signal you’re interested, and he’ll respond to it immediately.

4. Greet him warmly

When you meet him for the first time, give him a big hug, and tell him you’ve been looking forward to meeting him. Make him feel liked immediately — he’ll love the way it feels.
