Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Be authentic and true to your character from day one. The most common mistake made by men is introducing themselves as different than their actual character. Try to be as honest about yourself and your past as possible so that you are sure the girl likes you and not an idealized version of you.
Step2
Work on the friendship. Be available for talks and heart to hearts but make sure that you don't establish too much of a friendship basis early on. Flirt when talking to the girl using your eyes, and compliment her. This flirting will convey your interest in being a part of this girl's life.
Step3
Write little letters and notes to her. Leave them places where she will find them when you aren't around, like her purse or on her door. Send flowers on a random Wednesday, or funny emails letting her know you are just thinking about her.
Step4
Call to tell her good night and have a quick conversation before going to bed. This conversation will communicate that you think about her before bed and help her realize you are enamored enough with her to call before you lay your head down to dream.
Step5
Give her independence and encourage her to be independent as well. Avoid smothering behaviors such as too much calling or complimenting. Respect her friendships and encourage her to spend time with her friends. Inject a little jealousy only in a playful manner.
Step6
Make periodic romantic overtures such as inviting her over to watch a movie and cooking a candlelit dinner. For a more traditional woman, try asking her out officially. Rent movies or go to see movies that convey your message of being interested. Romantic comedies or "chick flicks" are definite green lights that you want more than a friendship.
