How to Keep a Guy Interested

You want to keep a guy interested in you, but you're not sure how to go about it. Every guy is different. What works well for one might not work on the next. You may have to try some new tactics, but learning how to respond to an individual guy instead of treating them all the same will yield the best results. Be yourself and be adaptable. It's possible to keep a guy interested in you during every phase of your relationship.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

1. Keep him guessing. Nothing stales a relationship more quickly than predictability. A lot of guys like a challenge. Instead of calling him every day at the same time, vary the times you call or text message him. Let him come to you, too.
2. Keep yourself busy with your own activities. If a guy knows that you're available every Saturday night, he might start to take it for granted that you'll always be around. Having your own interests and time to yourself makes you a more interesting person to him.
3. Look your best. This doesn't mean you have to dress up every time you see him, but you should put forth an effort to look good. This shows you're interested in him.
4. Learn some new tricks. Show you're interested in him in other ways as well. People want to be with people who make them feel good and want to be with them. Show an interest in things he likes to do, and he might do the same for you. Give the baseball game a chance. Learn how to beat him at his favorite video game. Go to a theme park together, or read that intellectual book you've been avoiding that he adores. You may find an unexpected interest, and it will fascinating that you share some interests.
5. Continue to flirt with him. Even if you've been with the same guy for years, it's great to keep flirting with him. This makes him feel desirable.
6. Surprise him. This will vary depending on the guy once you know what your guy likes the most. If he loves a certain musician, surprise him with tickets to that musician's concert. If he's crazy about cars, surprise him with a subscription to his favorite auto magazine or take him to a car show.
7. Stand up for yourself. It's easy to get lost in some relationships. Knowing your limits or even enforcing new ones can upset the balance of your relationship, but ultimately a guy will respect you and be interested. Strong self-respect is a big turn on.
