Article: When you form a friendship with him, it is okay to create reasons to get together. The more time you spend with him, the better. He may not be interested in you yet, but you should take this time to comfortably show him your personality and truly get to know him. This part is very important and only possible if you're friends with him. Mention his crush in a conversation and see what he says. Don't settle for answers about how physically attractive she is. There must be more to her that he is attracted to you and you have to find out what those traits are. Don't speak poorly of her. You may think that this will make her look bad, but you'll be the one looking bad in the end. If you speak poorly of her, he'll think you're a negative person. Plus, guys love a supportive girl. If you're bashing his opinions, you're only hurting yourself. While you don't want to speak poorly of his current crush, you can start to get his mind out of that relationship by talking him up. Tell him that he's the full package and that he deserves the best. Tell him not to settle and that he should go after someone that he is friends with because the relationship will be stronger if that connection is already existent. While you're still in the "friend zone," it is a great time to show him your playful side. Guys like a girl that laughs at his jokes. They are intrigued by girls that aren't always serious about everything.

What is a summary?
Put yourself on the radar. Find out what he likes about her. Speak nicely. Tell him his worth. Be fun.
