I Got The Guy Who Isn't A Relationship Type—Here's How I Did It

Us girls have had out fair share of boys who we have fallen for who aren't looking to settle down in a relationship. They hit you up, act like they're really into you and then hit you with the "Oh, I'm not looking for a girlfriend." Or, "I don't want a relationship." I've had quite a few of those experiences, until one day I changed up my game of how I said things and how I acted when I met another guy who definitely isn't known for having relationships. This person happens to be my boyfriend now.

Here's 8 tips of advice on how to get that boy head over heels for you:

1. Make him know how much you're worth

Really show him that you're one of a kind. Don't give in as much, kind of shove him in the back to show him that you are your own person and won't wait around or always make time for him.

2. Don't put out

It's known and stereotypical that guys this age are pretty much only looking for hookups. Yes, he may have been sweet-talking you all week, but if you really want to keep him around for a while, don't put out right away. Show him that you want more than just a hookup.

3. Don't be afraid to make the first move

Really... don't be afraid. It shows him that you're interested and not always just waiting around for him to contact you. I made the first move on my current boyfriend and we're still going strong!

4. Ask to go on dates

If he's always inviting you over to his house at a late hour to "Netflix and Chill," that isn't a very good sign. Ask him to grab some ice cream or have dinner some night. Do something that's fun for the both of you to peak his interest.

5. Make him wait

Don't sit around and wait for him all day. He's a person just like us, so he's probably busy. Give him some space, if you see he's texted you, don't respond right away. Show him that you have other things to do than wait for his text/call.

6. Flirt!

You obviously got to flirt with him to make him know you're interested in him! Guys can be pretty oblivious. Tell him the things you really like about him.

7. Look the best you can

Try to get extra glam on the days/nights that you see each other. Make him want to see you more! You want them to notice how great you're looking and feeling that night.

8. Tell him that you're into him

Don't wait for him to tell you, tell him first if you really like him. Chances are if you tried you're best in getting him to like you and he kept coming back to hang out, chances are he's into you too! Now go get that boy and show him who's in order!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
