Ruth goes to where Boaz is sleeping at night and lies down at the foot of his bed.
She does this on the instructions of her mother in law Naomi. Boaz is a relative of Ruth's dead husband and under the law of Moses when a man died childless, a close relative should marry the widow (Deu_25:5-10), this was to perpetuate the family name and keep the land in the family. It was especially important that when a man died without a son, someone should marry his widow so that a son would be born and the name carried on.
Ruth had been left childless. Since Boaz was a relative of Elimelech, he was eligible to serve as redeeming relative by marrying her. And not only was he eligible; he was willing.
I suppose you could say in this way Ruth was demonstrating she liked Boaz
