It has been a while that you have been secretly eying that guy, thinking of smart lines and moves to impress him.You've even tossed your hair hoping to catch his attention, din't work eh? You need better tips; so here you go! Read on to find out how you can turn on your charm to catch his eye.

It's a good feeling to have a crush on somebody. But to develop it into something more takes careful effort. The moment you cross that fine line by doing something stupid, you've ruined your chances for good. Here's how you can go about it without looking desperate.

Show interest, smile

A simple smile can do wonders in getting your crush's attention. It is a foolproof ice-breaker. Even if that person doesn't know you, he or she is bound to reciprocate in a positive manner since it makes him/her feel special. You must maintain eye contact while smiling because it shows you are confident and genuinely interested in the person.

Arouse curiosity

Once you have established a connect, it's time to get your crush interested in you. According to psychologists assessing the way they behave can help you get somewhere. A technique called Neuro Linguistic Processing is widely used by marketing experts. It involves creating a neural pathway in the other person's mind by emulating his actions. It is done in such a manner that the other person starts feeling comfortable about your presence. For instance, if the person runs her hand through her hair, do the same. If she drops a pen, drop you notebook. This will make the person want to communicate.

Make your presence felt

Follow up by being around. Being out of sight means out of mind. If you are around him/her, it will help you become approachable. At the same time it is important you do not make yourself available to them at their convenience. Be around them but don't pay too much attention. It will trigger their sense of curiosity and help you keep the equation balanced in your head.

Gauge clues

If you have reached a stage where you can have a conversation, be a good listener and pay attention to what your crush is saying. It gives you time to figure out whether the person really interests you. If you cannot relate with the conversation, it's better not to pretend. If you are able to gauge positive vibes, it's a sign you can go ahead. Address your crush by their name time and again.

Humour goes a long way

Wit can make you appealing because it shows intelligence. Humour lightens the situation but also takes away from the clich's of personal introduction such as where are you from, what do you do, etc. In the initial stages, humour should not be flirtatious. Keep the humour situation-specific. Don't try anything over-the-top. If you are aware of what the person is saying, you will come up with something interesting to say.

Hang out with friends

Be casual and treat your crush like any other friend. Giving them too much importance can make them act pricey. Figure out how you can spend time with your crush. Make plans along with other people. It brings in the comfort level and you don't look desperate to be with them. You can gradually drop hints revealing your interest.

Hold your own

Don't try to hang out with your crush all the time. If he or she has plans, let them be. Make your own group plans and don't go following him/her everywhere. Not only do you look desperate, you lose your self respect. They will think that you have nothing else to do. Live your own life. Your crush will respect you more.

Be Honest

Don't pretend you know everything about dancing just because your crush is an expert at it. Let them know what you are good at and they will discover that you are an interesting person even though you are different. After you have spent some time knowing your crush, you may decide to break it to them gently. Everyone likes it when someone likes them. Don't fear rejection. Women appreciate honesty. If someone acts arrogant and turns you down, then that person is not meant for you.
