How To Get Your Boyfriend To Pay More Attention To You And Not His Friends by joebeckz(m): 4:03pm On Jan 29, 2015
Do you feel your boyfriend is paying more attention to his friends than to you? Are you starting to feel neglected? Get the spotlight back on your relationship. You can practice these steps below and hope it helps. I will make my points as brief as possible.

1
Understand the cause of his declining attention. There may be several reasons for his waning interest and some of them may even have nothing to do with you. Stress at work, ill-health or anxiety over his family often depress a man’s romantic urge.
2
Find activities which you both enjoy doing together. Whether it's a walk or trip to the beach or movie, find something which you both can get excited about and do together. Try as many different things as you can until you find a few which you both really enjoy. Try thinking back to where you met him and what activities you both used to do when you were first going out.
3
Make compromises. Even though it may not be fun, sometimes you might just have to go to a sports match with him or watch television. If you do things he likes doing, he'll be much more receptive to paying attention to you when you're doing things he doesn't enjoy too
4
Try to be friends with his friends. This does not mean that you have to start guzzling beer or go ecstatic over a football game. Just be cheerful and positive. Your partner’s friends too will like to hang around with you, while your man will enjoy having your company as well.
5
Take the initiative. Get out of the habit of always leaving your man to plan your dates. For instance, you could take your partner out for a movie or show and round off the evening with dinner at a place of his choice. This will not only get his attention, but perhaps make him grateful enough to want to reciprocate the next time.
6
Make yourself less available. Don't be so anxious to answer every time he rings or texts. When he bugs you about not answering immediately, tell him were busy in a polite way. Men like what they can't have all the time.
7
Stop demanding attention. Nothing makes a guy run away faster, than a girl who creates a scene, demanding to know why he has not been paying attention to her lately. Don’t beg or quarrel with your partner or he will think you are just being dramatic.
8
Be independent. Make sure you have your own interests and friends. If he goes out with his friends, then go out with yours. Try out for a sports team that you like. Don't let him hold you back from your hobbies.
9
Understand your own behavior. Are you always nagging him to do something he doesn’t like, or have you been asking him to change some aspect of his personality? Do you simply feel you're not getting what you want out of the relationship? Analyzing the situation (within reason) will help in achieving the attention you want.

In conclusion i think You can't change a person. They just need to realize how special you are. Once they realize it they not might change because they won't want to lose you.
A girlfriend is still a friend. Be sure to be there for him when he needs it most and he should be there for you too.
Before you start a fight, stop and think if what he's doing is really worth fighting over. Most of the time (if it's something small) you'll move on and forget that you were even upset. Just keep yourself busy with other things too. With this I'm not referring to major things, just those little annoying things, like the new iPhone 5.
Don't worry too much about changing him. You can't change a person who doesn't want to change. Remember the qualities you were drawn to before you were dating. If something needs tweaking, do a little behavior modification. Show him by being a role model.

Nothing like love portion... Better working on your character and other ethics. Only that can keep him.
