How do you get a guy to chase you?

Asked by Girl97 (53points) June 30th, 2013 from iPhone

There’s this guy I have this crush on who I haven’t known long. The other night at this party we spent the whole night together talking, with some flirting. I got away with his jumper which he gladly gave to me and We had been talking a bit after the party. We were at another party together last night and every time we walked by another he would say jumper with a smile to me. It wasn’t till the end of the night we got into proper conversation and I gave him his jumper back which I had brought to the party with me, but I somehow managed to get it back off him. He said to me after that he’d have to see me soon to get it back off him. We were talking a bit today but not for long and he hasn’t replied to the last thing I said.I’m getting complete mixed signals and don’t know how to act. Its not as if the guy isn’t interested cause as I said I get signals that he is, he’s just quite the ladies man and not entirely focused on one I can only guess. How do I get this guy to really chase me?

You’re being too easy. Guys want to do the chasing. You’re making it clear there is no chase involved. You’re good to go.

Well….if you’re that desperate I’d just rip off all your clothes, slather yourself in a pheromone perfume and dangle some ice cold beer from your nipples with a g-string made of beef jerky.
If you tell him your name is “Snausage” that oughta call the big dog in from the field pretty effectively. lol

By chasing I’m looking for advise on how to get him to engage with me, he’s giving me signals that he’s interested but he’s playing hard to get and I want to try turn that around but I’m looking for advise on how I do that! I’m not coming across as easy considering all that’s been done is some harmless flirting which some guys could take as me being friendly. I know what easy is and trust me that ain’t me.

Ignore him. Just the right way. It’s an art, honey. Learn it.

How about you stop playing games and trying to “get him” to do anything? If a guy likes you, he’ll make it happen. If he doesn’t, all you’re doing by making yourself so easily available to him is making a fool out of yourself and probably coming off as very desperate in the process.

Chill out, purchase the film “He’s Just Not That Into You,” and learn a thing or two.

Always avoid the Ladies Man. He will break your heart.

I would try asking for him to chase you. Something similar worked for me, when I asked my friend if she can help me seduce her.

You don’t. You can’t make someone else do anything. Also, if he is a ladies’ man, why do you want him? He will only hurt you.

Coloma's avatar

Yep to @LuckyGuy & @marinelife listen to your elders child. lol

A big round of applause to @livelaughlove21 too! :-)

Listen to @LuckyGuy – he’s a man! If a guy is interested, you won’t have to entice him to chase you. He will do it all on his own. Back-off. Leave him alone. If he comes after you, don’t be a pushover. If you want to be with him, make it on your terms too. If you’re too easy, he might come after you but he quite likely won’t stay.

I am not sure what your age is, but I do understand at certain ages the chase thing is important. A girl should be a little mysterious, a little aloof and unavailable. But also show interest, but not too much. Never appear too desperate that is a real turn off at any age! Keep interested in your friends and your own life. A woman with her own interests and independence is more attractive to men at any stage of life.Also probably make friends with other guys, these are probably the guys you will land up with eventually. (Not the ladies man).

The age old question, in short, YOU CAN’T. How you can better your odds is to learn as much about him as you can without appearing as a stalker. Find out where he likes to go, talk about, do in his down time and develop interest in such. If he likes RC planes, learn about that. When you start talking his interest especially if he never thought you would be interested he will be intrigued. DO NOT try to start off hitting him with the b/f thing or expecting him to act like a boyfriend. When he discovers that he likes talking with you and having you around because he can share his interest with you, he will want you around more, and not because you have a nice rack or smooth cheesecake. The more he matches that “good feeling” with you, then, and only then, are you on the way to sparking romantic feelings within him, the real ones, not the ”I want into her pants” type. If he is the “Ladies Man”, as you say, the moment your bulb starts to burn dim, he will unscrew you from the socket, toss you in the trash heap, and get him another. Maybe you feel he is giving “signals”, because you hope to get some, so your mind is manufacturing events that are not even there.

Trying to manipulate others is a waste of time and energy. Even if you get the response you want in the short term, things will sour in the long term because being manipulated just plain sucks.

Ideally, you want other people to like and love you for who you are. If you pretend to be something you aren’t or behave in a way that isn’t natural for you, the other person isn’t seeing the real you. Setting up false pretenses is hard to maintain, and it’s unfair to the other person.

Just be yourself. If someone likes you, they like you; if they don’t like you, it doesn’t matter. You don’t like everyone else, so not everyone else will like you.

@hearkat Beautifully and brilliantly said. Yep, manipulation is short term gain with long term negatives. Excellent sharing!

Tie a keg to your body and make a run for it while yelling free beer?
Only kidding. A keg is too heavy. It would be a short chase.
But really, there is no way. I was never a fan of working to keep a guys interest. If he didn’t find me interesting enough to make the effort, then I moved on.

Learn how to make sandwiches. And not those baloney and mayo ones either.

just txt him and ask if he wants to hang out or something…if he likes you he will try and turn it into a dating scenario.

Or just ask him if he likes you. Had a girl ask me via txt once, very straight forward and I respected her for that.

Girl97's avatar

@gailcalled , no this is a different guy . I haven’t kissed this guy I just kinda like him . Ok thanks everyone!
@Xilas and did you like this girl ? I wouldn’t do that cause I don’t know the guy well enough

Dutchess_III's avatar

Ask him if he likes you? No. That would put him on the spot. If he’s a decent guy he’ll stop short of saying, “No.” If he’s a decent guy he’ll phrase it in such a way that he’s trying not to hurt your feelings but you won’t see the “No. Not interested,” in it and you’ll keep perusing him. If he isn’t a decent guy, he’ll just see a chance to score.
Walk away. Forget him.

Inspired_2write's avatar

Ignore him and find another to pal around with, I bet he’d come running?
Guys like to win someone,in other words competition.
This guy plays too many games with the jumper . Give him his jumper back
and tell him to quit playing games.
If he wants to go out say to a movie etc then fine , that is a start.
