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? Try one of my five patented Romance Enhancers—if you don't think they're more effective than a gift card I'll send you a full refund. 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.

How do you tell if a guy is into you?

22 Subtle Signs A Guy Likes You, From Dating Experts He leans toward you during conversation. ... He angles his body toward you in the room. ... He finds small ways to compliment you. ... He makes eye contact. ... He steals a glance at you. ... He singles you out in a group. ... He seems drawn to you in the room. More items... •

Here's the thing about trying to know if a guy likes you: Sometimes looking for small signs is never going to give you an accurate full picture of what's going on. Some guys will do all of the above with their friends, while other guys will like someone but not do any of the above. "Some folks may be less able to express their attractions as overtly as this," Battle says. "For instance, my shy clients sometimes struggle with externalizing their feelings for a crush even in subtle ways. That means that even though they like someone, it might be harder for the other person to tell. When in doubt, talk about it!" If you're not sure if a guy likes you but is hiding it, just ask him and let him tell you directly how he feels. It sounds scary, but it definitely doesn't have to be! A simple "Hey, I think you're really cool, and I'm kind of into you—are you into me?" is casual, direct, a little sexy, and also nonthreatening. If it's a no, at least you know! And if it's a yes, now the fun stuff begins.
