How to Get Someone to Like You Romantically

Romantic attraction is all about energy - set the stage and let the flames ignite. If the person doesn't like you at all from the beginning, however, you will most likely waste your time. There has to be some kind of connection that you can use to build on.

Instructions

Step1Love yourself - and show it, using body language: Sit up straight, make eye contact and shake hands firmly. There's nothing sexier than self-confidence.

Step2Be approachable. Again, here's where body language can help - face the person with your arms uncrossed, make eye contact and smile with sincerity.

Step3Plant some romantic seeds - put the idea of romance in his or her head without being too obvious. For instance, do thoughtful things for your soon-to-be suitor to show that you are going out of your way for him or her; listen with your whole heart when he or she speaks - there is nothing more romantic than to feel someone is really hearing you.

Step4Create opportunities for a romantic interlude. These can be either subtle ("I heard that movie got great reviews. We should really go see it sometime.") or much more blatant ("Can I cook for you sometime?")
Step5Don't be afraid to make the initial contact. Sometimes, all the other person needs is the green light.

Step6Be yourself, and take pride in your individuality. If the other person doesn't appreciate it, you definitely deserve better.


Tips & Warnings
Be a friend first and spend some time together.

If your self-confidence needs a little boost, indulge yourself with a makeover or a visit to a day spa; spend some time alone doing something that you're good at; smile often and work on your posture (both of these can affect your mood).

Focus on other things to avoid becoming obsessed - and to show yourself and your potential suitor that you have other interests and talents.

Be patient - being pushy or needy is likely to get you the opposite response from the one you're after.

Don't waste your valuable time and energy on someone who is clearly unavailable. Does the person's body language make him or her unapproachable? Perhaps he or she does not want to be pursued in the first place.

10 Ways to Make Your Girlfriend Romantic

Ten foolproof ways to make your betrothed happy.

1. She is always right
There is no point arguing about it. You may be all idealistic at the start of the marriage, two equal partners in all decision making, but you soon learn the error of your ways. Just let her always think she’s right, don’t fight the inevitable.
2. Answer quickly
You must keep your wits about you on this one. Some questions need and instant, correct answer. Even a small delay in your response will see you hung, drawn and quartered. An example of this would be, “do you think I am getting fat?” Answer NO, and do it quick.
3. Love her family
Acting skills may be required here. Fight with the in-laws and you may as well be fighting with your wife. Mum will always be the person she turns to when she wants to complain, so keep her sweet. Show an interest. Fake it if you have to. Plus they do say you can see how your wife will look in the future, bear that in mind.
4. Presents
I don’t want much for my birthday. Yeah, right! It’s a lie, don’t fall for it. She really means, buy me that thing that I have been dropping brick size hints at for the last six months. You know it makes sense.
5. Pornography
She hates it. Simple as that. It is offensive to all of woman kind and should be banned from here to eternity. She may try and trick you by saying she likes it, so tread very very carefully.
6. All other women are ugly
She is allowed to watch the telly and say that the latest hunk from Baywatch is lovely. You are in no way, shape or form allowed to think the supermodel of the year is anything other than a skinny Shrek like figure that repulses you at every glance.
7. Treat her like a lady
She is after all one, and don’t you forget it. The odd impromptu gift, flowers goes down a treat. But guard against her seeing that as a sign of you feeling guilty about something. Make her breakfast in bed, little things like that go a long way.
8. Kids
If you have them then be the best Dad you can. Get involved in all of the messy stuff. If you don’t have them then make sure she knows without reservation how much you love the little rug rats. Even if she doesn’t want kids, it shows your soft and caring fuzzy side.
9. Don’t let it slip
When you met, you were clean shaven, smelling like an Old Spice Ad, and looking like an immaculately pressed advert for Ben Sherman. Even if your budget is now more Market Stall than Posh Mall, make the most of what you’ve got. Don’t look like the odd couple when you go somewhere posh.
10.Tell her you love her every day
… and never, ever forget that.
