When you want to get a guy\u2019s attention, you bring your flirting A-game. But it\u2019s frustrating when your cute outfits, witty wisecracks, and subtle hints go seemingly unnoticed. What gives? If a guy isn\u2019t picking up on your flirting signs, it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean he\u2019s not interested. It could mean that he didn\u2019t know you were flirting with him in the first place –  there are surprising flirting signs guys miss all too easy. But don\u2019t worry, we can fix that. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, men and women flirt and interpret flirting differently. To you, it seems obvious that your flirting tactics<\/a> are meant to get his attention. But he might not see what you\u2019re trying to do\u2014or even read your behavior as flirtatious at all. Here are some basic flirting signs guys miss all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Obvious Flirting Signs Guys Miss <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Dressing to impress<\/b><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s not that guys don\u2019t notice when you look nice; they definitely take note. It\u2019s that many of them don\u2019t understand that you made an effort <\/span>because<\/span><\/i> of them. If you\u2019re feeling frustrated that a guy isn\u2019t responding to the work you put into your outfit or appearance to impress him, it\u2019s because he hasn\u2019t connected the dots to understand that you look nice for his benefit. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Rather than trying to look picture-perfect, focus on making a personal connection instead. That\u2019s more memorable than what shoes you wore or what color lipstick you picked.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Giving compliments<\/b><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Paying a guy a compliment is a classic flirting tactic. You might tell him his hair looks great, his shirt is stylish, or that he smells nice\u2014and think he understands that you have a crush on him. But guys don\u2019t automatically equate compliments with flirting. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Instead of showering him with superficial compliments, share one big one that\u2019s more personal and meaningful. Choose something that demonstrates you have paid attention to what\u2019s important to him and what he\u2019s proud of, that you have noticed the details about him. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Laughing a lot<\/b><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Laughter is a great way to show someone you\u2019re listening to what they\u2019re saying and that you enjoy their company. But guys don\u2019t think it means they\u2019re interested. In fact, laughing at everything they say could have the opposite effect: It could make you seem sort of ditzy or like you\u2019re trying too hard. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Instead of laughing at everything he says, just smile and laugh when something is genuinely funny. Then, he\u2019ll know he earned it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Asking for help<\/b><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Whether you simply ask him to grab something out of your reach or you ask him to come over and help you take out your A\/C window unit, asking for help is a great flirting tactic for a number of reasons. It gives you an excuse to have his sole attention, it makes him feel good for being needed, and it\u2019s an opportunity for a little shameless ego-stroking. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          But again, guys don\u2019t necessarily see the \u201cdamsel in distress\u201d act as flirting. If you want to flirt by asking for his help with something, you\u2019ll need to be a bit more deliberate about why you want his attention. Which leads us to\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          1. Dropping hints.<\/b><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Subtlety doesn\u2019t work with guys, plain and simple. If you ask him what he\u2019s doing this weekend thinking he\u2019ll take the hint and ask you to hang out, he probably won\u2019t; you have to ask if he wants to meet up. If you ask him to recommend a bar in the area thinking he\u2019ll pick up on your signal and ask you out for a drink, he probably won\u2019t; you have to ask him if he wants to get drinks. Most guys don\u2019t pick up on subtleties, so be as direct as possible<\/a> about how you like his company and want more of it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            All of these flirting signs guys miss have something thing in common: most guys don\u2019t automatically see them as flirting. That doesn\u2019t mean you should abandon these tactics, though. For the best results, keep it up and be more deliberate. You might feel like you\u2019re being a little over-the-top, but if you want to get a guy\u2019s attention, it\u2019s best to be direct.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
