5 Easy (and Free) Ways to Make Men Smile—Guaranteed (2024)
As someone who can barely calculate a tip, I don't have much to add to the conversation about our tanking economy. But I would like to share one little piece of wisdom I picked up from my favorite social economists: you can't buy me love. Corny but true. Don't believe me?

Bonus tip: Give him a free pass to go out and drink beer with his friends.
1) Touch his arm. There are a lot of ways to subtly let a guy know you're into him, like maintaining eye contact, playing with your hair and smiling a lot. But the only one that sends shivers down my spine is when a girl touches my arm during conversation. It always surprises me and it's always great.
2) Send him a random text message in the middle of the day. OK, this might not be free depending on your cell phone plan, but it's still a great value. Nothing breaks the monotony of a long workday like a flirty note from someone special, and unless his job is super-intense he'll have plenty of time to daydream about you.
3) Ask him a question about something he knows a lot about. Newsflash: Guys like to show off for you. So if your dude could use an ego boost there's nothing like letting him feel like an expert. Ask him about fishing, the 1983 Chicago White Sox or the mating habits of the Guyanese woodfinch—whatever he's into. Just remember to nod a lot and look really interested.
4) Give him a very specific compliment. Telling a guy he's funny, handsome or smart is always appreciated, but the really meaningful compliments are the ones that reveal how well you know him. Something like "I love the way your face scrunches up when you're doing the crossword puzzle" or "You have the sexiest calves I've ever seen."
__5) Send him the diary entry you wrote after your first date (or write one now). __One of the best things about having a girlfriend is reminiscing about what you thought about each other in the beginning of your relationship. Reliving all of the uncertainty and anxiety is strangely exhilarating. I can't think of a better anniversary present than a sanctioned peek into the diary of someone I care about.
Do you have a favorite no-cost (and PG!) way to make a guy happy? Has the economic crunch affected your love life?
To make a man crazy about you, try to be unpredictable. Find ways that would catch him off guard or amaze him. You can plan a weekend trip or small things like surprising him with a t-shirt or an accessory that he wanted would make him think greatly about you.

A guy stare can be a form of personal anxiety or shyness
One of the primary reasons why men stare at you but never smile is anxiety or shyness. Yet their insecurities may prevent them from adding a smile to make that prolonged stare less intense and more welcoming.
If you don't want to make it obvious, you can glance at him when he addresses you, but look away again as soon as you can. For the most effective ignoring technique, act like he doesn't exist and try not to even look in his direction.
This smile is rare because it requires three muscle groups to work simultaneously when smiling. If you have this smile, the two muscles used in the cuspid and commissure and the lower lip will pull downward, resulting in a double chevron shape.
At CMB, researchers found that having a big, open-mouthed smile was important, especially for men. Of the men who got “liked” more than 50% of the time, nearly 80% were smiling with their teeth showing, compared to just 16% who weren't smiling and 5% who had a closed-mouth smile.
You may notice her glaring at you without a trace of a smile on her face, which implies she's upset or annoyed at you in some way. Other signs that she's upset include giving you the silent treatment or speaking sarcastically (and sometimes with deliberate rudeness) when she does talk to you.
