5 Ways to Get Close to a Guy Who is “More Than a Friend But Not Quite A Lover”

It’s frustrating when you’re really hitting it off with someone, but things aren’t moving forward. If you don’t want your interactions to end in uncertainty, try to win his heart when you’re hanging out alone. We asked single women in their teens to their 20s to share their opinions on the topic.

1. Choose to sit next to him rather than in front of him.
