How to Ask a Guy to Be Your Boyfriend
- 1). Think about how you want to phrase your question before hand. Just having the idea of asking a guy out can be extremely scary. Thinking about the exact wording before hand can help calm your nerves. Make sure you make it direct and to the point, be confident but not pushy.
- 2). Timing is everything. Make sure you time your question when you will have the guy's full attention. Asking him while he is watching TV or playing video games is far from the best time to ask him to be your boyfriend. Think about the perfect place for you to ask the question. Having a neutral environment can protect you in case he turns you down.
- 3). Before asking him out you should know that there are two types of guys. The one's that will be overly into you and the one's that will be afraid of commitment. The eager ones are easy; it's the ones that are afraid of commitment that are more likely to turn you down. Whatever you do don't force him to express himself if he is not comfortable. It will only push him away.
Don't worry if he can't express himself well. Relationships take time to cultivate. This is just the initial step to starting it. - 4). Once you have asked him try to gauge his initial reaction. If he is attentive to the idea that's a good sign. Tell him what it means to you for him to be your boyfriend. It is important to make some clear boundaries for your new relationship. Doing this now while your relationship is fresh will avoid misunderstandings and hurt feelings down the road.
- 5). Finally relax. If he accepts, make sure you have time to spend with him to get to know him even better. Plan on spending the next few hours enjoying your time together and learning so much more about each other. If he doesn't want to commit to becoming your boyfriend, consider giving him some time to think about it. Many men need time to process all the complex feelings that they are having, especially younger men who are just beginning to understand their feelings.
- 6). Many guys make wonderful boyfriends. Just remember, don't be too eager to jump into a relationship without knowing what kind of person he is. Not all guys are relationship material, especially when they are younger. Hopefully these tips have helped to show you how to ask a guy to be your boyfriend.
