Guys think about girls a lot, even if they’re trying not to.
Guys can be so caught up in their heads that it seems like they’re thinking about girls they like all the time. Or at least it sure feels like that sometimes.
This article will provide you with a list of the number of times a day on average that guys think about their crush and insight into the feelings behind those thoughts.
How many times a day on average does a guy think about the girl he likes?
We all know that guys think about girls a lot, right? Here are some of the top numbers our research revealed:
On average, guys think about their crush anywhere from 10 to 70 times a day! If you’re wondering why there are such big numbers, it’s because guys think about the girl they like for a variety of reasons.
The most important message here is there’s nothing wrong with thinking about girls all the time. Guys have been programmed to focus on women, and on this planet that’s a good thing.
If they’re dating, guys think about their girlfriend 2 to 3 times a day. If they’re dating and spend most of their time together, this number can be bumped up to 2 to 5 times per day.
Guys will think about girls they like even more often if they’re in a serious relationship.
In short:
This is the average number of times a guy thinks about the girl he likes, but this isn’t going to be the exact number for every guy. Things like: how far away they are from each other, whether or not they have a relationship, and what they’re doing when they think about her can all have an effect.
Keep reading to find out what factors have an effect on the number of times a guy thinks about the girl he likes.
Factors that affect the number of times a guy thinks about a girl
The number of times a guy thinks about his crush is based on a variety of factors related to both the girl and the guy, there are three main factors: their relationship, how healthy their relationship is, and what they’re doing when they think of her.
Relationship
The first thing that has an effect on the number of times a guy thinks about a girl is their relationship status. Whether they’re dating, single, or engaged… it all has an effect.
When guys think about a girl they like, they often wonder whether or not she’d be interested in taking the relationship to a more serious level.
Many guys think about their crush as if they’re thinking of someone to date, get married to, and have kids with.
Other times, guys think about the same girl as if it were just another fling. They’re not really thinking about getting serious with her.
Relationship health
Here’s the truth:
The more serious their relationship is, the more often guys will think about their crush.
This goes hand-in-hand with the type of relationship they’re in. When the relationship has the potential to become more serious, guys are going to think about it more seriously.
If a guy thinks he has a chance of becoming something with his crush, he’s going to think about her all that much more often because she’s now at the center of his thoughts.
For example, let’s say a guy likes a girl he just met. He’s not really sure if he wants to date her, although he does like her enough to want to hang out with her.
He would think about her every day if the relationship was at this level… but somewhere between thoughts of “I might like this girl,” and “I like this girl,” comes the potential of becoming more serious with her.
That shift brings more thoughts about how they could get serious together and make their relationship last.
What they’re doing when they think of her
The final main factor that determines how many times a guy thinks about a girl he likes is what he’s doing when he thinks of her.
Let me explain:
If he’s doing something that has nothing to do with her romantically, like playing video games, studying for a test, or spending time with his friends and family, basically everything except being with her… his thoughts will be more often focused on something else.
But if he’s doing something that directly involves her, like spending time with her, talking to her on the phone, texting her, etc… his thoughts will be more often focused on her.
In this sense, thinking about a girl who has captured a guy’s interest becomes pretty much all he can think about.
How to make your man think about you more often?
I bet you want to know how to make your man think about you more often than just a little bit. If you’re wondering how to do it, here are a few tips that will help:
1) Make him jealous
Jealousy is one of the most powerful emotions a human being can feel.
Jealousy makes us feel at our best, and it makes us work harder than ever before. Jealousy drives us to accomplish great feats, and it also encourages men to think about you more often than usual.
But be careful:
Jealousy should be used as a weapon, not as a sign of disrespect towards the man. Using jealousy against someone can have some serious consequences.
You’ll need to be honest with yourself, and evaluate just how strong your feelings are before deciding whether or not playing with jealousy is a good idea.
2) Make him feel invalidated
It’s been scientifically proven that men will experience greater levels of stress and anxiety when they feel that their opinions are ignored by the woman they love.
Here’s how to make him feel invalidated:
- You can do this by not giving him the attention he needs and deserves.
- Engaging in certain behavior that makes him feel like you don’t appreciate his opinions.
- Not following through with stuff you said you’d do for him.
- Making yourself the center of attention instead of him.
Watch out, because often, making your guy feel invalidated is not a good idea. We never want to make our man feel like we don’t respect him or his opinion.
3) Be a tease
I don’t need to tell you that guys like to be teased, especially by women they like.
Being a good tease can make a girl appear more intriguing and attractive to most men. Being a bad tease can have the opposite effect.
But here’s the thing: trying to be too much of a tease can backfire really badly, especially if you aren’t careful. So if your intent is to make him think about you more often, make sure you follow these simple rules:
- Be sexy, but in an approachable way.
- Don’t overdo it. If he knows everything about you and still wants more, then you’re likely doing a great job. – Be playful but not overly naughty.
- Keep your secrets to yourself unless he asks for them.
- Don’t try to act like something you aren’t.
4) Be a little bit weird
This one is tricky because we’re not all “weird.” Some of us are very rational and never deviate from the status quo.
However, being different can be a huge turn-on for most guys. But being weird doesn’t mean you have to be a total outsider who doesn’t care about anything.
Getting a little weird sometimes is just fine as long as you don’t take it too far. Some men might even like it better if you occasionally do things that make them think, “Whoa, she’s not like other girls. She’s different… and I like that.”
5) Look and behave sexier than other women in his life
There’s no doubt that it’s a lot more fun when a man has competition for his attention.
Just look at the way we guys look and act around our brothers, best friends, and even our coworkers who are already in relationships.
So if you want to make your man think about you more often, then think about what you can do to outshine all the other women in his life by looking and acting sexier than they do.
6) Be unpredictable
Men need to feel in control. They like it when they know what to expect from you, and they prefer to stick with the script.
So if you’re looking for a way to make him think about you more often, then being a little bit unpredictable might do the trick.
For example, you can throw a little argument his way every now and again, just to make him feel like he has to work a little harder when it comes to keeping you happy.
This is one of the reasons why guys dig women who are independent. They’re always on their toes, trying to figure out what makes you tick.
7) Compliment him
The final way you can use to make him think about you more often is by complimenting your man.
A lot of guys like it when a woman makes them feel good about themselves, especially if they don’t get complimented very much in the first place.
If you can compliment your man in a way that makes him feel like you’re putting in some serious effort to let him know how great he is, then you’ll be doing the right thing.
However, if you do this too much, then he’s going to feel more pressured than flattered. So don’t overdo it. Just give him a little verbal boost every now and again.
Final thoughts
Just keep in mind that a man thinks a lot about the girl he likes. But just as often, he also thinks about some other girls.
So if you have to make him think about you more often, then you have to make sure that you’re doing enough things listed above.
But, if nothing seems to work as you’d like, there’s something else you can do.
According to relationship guru James Bauer, if you trigger something called the Hero Instinct in him, then he will think about you exclusively.
You see, every man has certain desires and drives that you can use to your advantage if you just know what to say and do.
In his free video, James Bauer will tell you exactly how to do this. He’ll reveal the exact texts and phrases that you need to say to trigger his Hero Instinct.
The result? He’ll only think about you, and you will finally have a good man in your life.
