How to Impress a Guy

If you really want to impress a guy, then the worst thing you can do is to try too hard. Instead of trying too hard, you should focus on being yourself, embracing your quirks, and being a fun and clever conversational partner. And if you and the guy share a common interest, then you'll be even more likely to impress him. If you want to know how to impress a guy no matter who you are or where your interests lie, just follow these steps.
Method 1 of 3: Catch His Eye
1-Show an interest in him. If you want to impress a guy, then you have to make him feel that you care about who he is as a person -- just not too much. When you do start talking to the guy, you should talk about the things he likes to do, what he's interested in, and just generally the things that intrigue him. This doesn't mean you should interview him or ask him too many questions, but it does mean that you should be attuned to the things he wants and cares about.

• Let him open up little by little, as you reveal information about yourself too. Don't bombard him with personal questions.
• Keep it light. Talk about his dog, his best friends, or his favorite sports teams -- you can get to the serious stuff later.
• 2-Find common ground. Once you've talked to the guy for a while, you should be able to find a few things that you have in common, whether it's your loyalty to your families, your love for the beach, or your mutual obsession with travel. It may not feel like much, but you should build on the interests you share to develop a connection. This will give you more to talk about, and will make the guy more impressed by you.
• If you know the guy is really crazy about the Mets, it wouldn't hurt to look up some information on the team so you can impress him the next time you talk. You don't have to become an expert on the subject, but it would give you something to talk about.
• You may not have many similar interests, but you may share similar personality traits -- maybe you both have a silly sensibility or a sensitive side. You can build off of that, too.
• You can even find common ground by finding something you both dislike or want to laugh at, whether it's Justin Bieber or your sixth period chemistry teacher.
• 3-Use positive body language. A guy will be much more impressed by you if your body is in an "open stance," and says that you're ready to talk and have a good time. The first thing you should do is smile to show the guy that you're disarming and ready to have fun. Then, you should work on using your arms to gesture or keeping them at your sides instead of crossing them over your chest, and turning your body toward him, so that he knows he has your attention.
  • Make eye contact when you talk to the guy so he feels special.
  • You can play with your hair a bit or lick your lips occasionally if you want to be flirtatious.
