Getting to know a guy will increase your chances of charming him

Before you can learn how to charm a man, you first have to learn all about him. You can’t immediately get on a guy’s good side if you don’t know anything about him. Sure, he might find you attractive, but that isn’t the same as actually making an impression.

For that, you need to learn a few things about him first. Knowing what he likes and does for a living can help you tailor your actions and conversations to better suit him. Basically, you’ll be able to charm him better if you can relate to him on a personal level. [Read: 18 ways to get to know a guy better before you decide to date him]

How to charm a man and leave him craving you

There are a few things you have to know when it comes to charming a man and leaving a great impression. If you want to get his number and potentially start something with him, you first have to charm him.

Here’s how you can do just that:

1. Relax

If you’re uptight and uncomfortable, he’ll notice. And that stuff is also very contagious. So if you’re nervous and acting very unsure of yourself, he’ll feel that and it’ll put him off. Nerves and discomfort are not charming. [Read: How to flirt with a guy subtly without really flirting at all]
