How to get his attention
So I need a bit of insight......
How to gain the guys attention, via facebook/blackberry messenger, when seen out in public to get him thinking about me.
I don't want to be anything but myself but I need an idea/feedback on how to initiate conversation to get us talking.... We have been friends a long time and we talk about random stuff now and then but I need something that stands out...
HELP!

well if you see him send him a message stating how he looks, that should get his attention0

would this not be cheesey??? I am so worried about saying the wrong thing.... He gets a lot of attention but is not the arogant sort... Maybe a talking point suggestion?...... xx0 -

Send him a message "oh my word there is a hot guy in a black shirt (*describe his clothing*) standing a few meters away from me, what should I do???"....he will likely text back to go say "hi" so then you walk over to him and say "hi" *wink*0 -
Do you have any common interests, perfect way to spark up a conversation if you already know them0

Life's too short to obsess. Ask him out for coffee. Basically "I really enjoy your company and I'd like to get to know you better. Would you like to go for coffee sometime?"0

This, if you need a killer line to drag him in its probably best left for now. Just ask him out for a coffee or something, anything.0 -
Showing interest in anything he is interested in always works as an ice breaker. Then he will invite you to share in that interest together. We men are simple and clueless sometimes...reading women is not our strong suit (although some guys talk a good game they still have no idea). It is just a matter of giving them a reason to think about you when u are not around! Good luck!0

Just be straight with him. Guys like confidence in girls. Just go up to him and say how u feel. No point in doing all this flirty facade if he isnt interested back.
but babe if he likes you then you will already be on his mind.0 -
If he's going to notice you he already has.
If he's already noticed you but doesn't show it, all he needs is a small window of opportunity...a green light from you.
Something simple is usually easiest, and if it turns out he doesn't want to go further its also easy for you to save face.
Perhaps a mild compliment such as " I like the how the color of your tie compliments your eyes". Shows him you noticed him and has a personal touch he can use as an opening to strike up a conversation if he is so inclined.0 -
Flash him?
and hahaha!!!0 -
all great ideas! Be confident, sometimes the girl just has to make the first move. good luck and let us know0

I remember Elaine from Seinfeld once kept a guy's interest by going on about being naked all the time. You could try that.
Or you could just invite him to a concert or sporting event or workshop or whatever and say something along the lines of "I'd kinda like to go to this, but none of my girlfriends are into baseball/jazz/cross-stitch/whatever...Any chance you'd wanna come with me?"
Or, "Hey, we should hang out more. Wanna catch a movie next Friday?"
Or next time you're taking about random things, say something like, "Oh, and if you want to know more about cup holders, stop by my apartment tomorrow at 7. I'm setting up a display."
The possibilities are endless...... and I suppose with blackberries and such, they are even endlesser.
Have fun!0 -
Who doesn't like to get attention? Just flat out tell him how you feel. or text him a pic or flirty message any guy I know will respond in kind even if its just fun hit will get his mind going.0

Very True!!
I feel because he has a lot of interest already that I need to be extra special to "stand out from the crowd"
We have loads of common interests but I feel we may have covered them already.... He's a gym addict like me.... Very into sports like me... I feel like I need a general talking point though.
Maybe I'm wasting my time... everythings worth a shot though hey0 -
Don't be too subtle, men don't do subtle. You may think you're giving him all the signals and he'll think you're just being friendly.
As others have said ask him out for a coffee or go to the Cinema (you don't have to talk too much)0 -

If I could sing for my girl in a boxer under her college window then you sure as hell can pull this off!! Go get your man0 -
Men don't like mixed signals or interpreting code. I suggest: "Hi. Let's date."0

Sooo moving on from that.....
Any stories of what guys and girls have done in the past to get a love interest attention???Xx0 -
aw man, he's your friend already? this can end bad0

I went with my friend to his girlfriends house to crash a Julia Roberts movie marathon to speak to a girl that was going to me there. We dated and it was the worst relationship i ever had..I now despise Julia Roberts!0 -
If youre going to be at the same event... skip the BBM or text and just walk up and talk to him. Be you. Be confident. Be forward.0

Why are you trying to get his attention via Facebook or Blackberry? Maybe I misunderstood your post, but I think a direct approach will get you a lot farther with this guy (or any guy). Personally, I hate when guys try to flirt with me online or via text message. It says to me "I don't like you enough to actually call you or come over and talk to you."
If you've been friends for a while, I don't think it would be weird at all for you to initiate an actual conversation. Ask him to hang out with you. If he says no or comes up with what sounds like a bogus excuse, then you know he's not interested, and you can move on. If he says yes, the door is open.
As for asking him out on a date, I personally wouldn't go that far. Things differ from place to place, but where I'm from, the only guys who like being asked out on dates are the wimps and the *kitten* who don't want to do any of the work. All men like to know ahead of time that there is some interest on your part and that they aren't leaping blindly into the Land of Rejection and Ego Destruction, so it's okay to let a guy know you like him. I'm usually pretty direct about this. Not in a creepy, fatal attraction sort of way, just something simple and honest. But once I've done that, if he still hasn't asked me out, I assume he either isn't interested or that he's so clueless I would end up strangling him inside a month if we ever started dating.0 -
I'm going to go against the grain of advice on this one and say not to chase him. From my experience, the more you chase and fawn over men, the less interest they have. Just be a confident woman in his presence and do the things YOU enjoy, that will get his attention. Maybe one bold move to let him know your interest.. such as the coffee/movie ideas. It sounds like this person already has the attention from the ladies so for you to be just another girl that "wants" him, it's nothing outstanding from his perspective. If he likes you and is aware that you are single, let him chase you. If after your bold move he still leaves things at "friends" decide if that is what you want or not. If not, move on.0
