Steps
- Talk to some boys. A few girls say, "Oh, we're never going meet any boys." That's such a lie. Look around. There are boys everywhere! All you have to do is take some time, and get to know them. You never know, that weird guy from your math class could be the boy from your dreams! Talk to them, and find out if they're worth spending time on, and if you actually have something in common. If you don't - find someone else! Just don't be one of those people who jump from person to person and leaves the other person hanging in the dark. Be nice, say, "Well, I'll see you around". Just to be safe, wait till the conversation is over.
- Start talking to him about random things. Find out his interests and hobbies. You will become better friends as time goes on. Don't be too random, though. He'll think it's weird if you randomly ask if he likes carrots. Also, it is best not to ask a yes or no question. For example, instead of asking if they like dogs, ask them what sort of pets/animals they like.
- Get along with his friends. If his friends don't like you, he probably won't like you either. Unless his friends are jealous, that is. Make sure that you don't ask his friend if they are jealous though.
- Understand what guys want. We all know that most guys like girls who are feminine, have curves in the right places, and stuff like that. But what else do the guys want? Here are a few 'requests':
- Nice looks.
- Confidence.
- A girl who is happy.
- Intelligence.
- A sense of humor.
- Patience.
- Generosity.
- Sophistication.
- Attitude (not the sassy kind)
- A great smile
- Make a list where you write down all the things you like about yourself. Do you have really pretty eyes? Well, then start wearing eyeliner, or just make them really stand out. Do you have really great hair? Well, try straightening it, curling it, putting it up in a new style, or adding some accessories to it such as headbands! The point is, that if you focus on the things you like about yourself, boys will notice these things too.
- Make boys notice you. Don't try 'accidentally' tripping in front of him like in the pic, its not romantic its just stupid and it would make you look like a klutz. Instead, find a reason to talk to him. If he's in one of your classes ask him what the homework was like you forgot. If he's the friendly type, just catch him alone and introduce yourself. Just wing it; it's cool. Just avoid seeming too desperate or clingy because guys really hate that. Just be confident, and smile.
- Compliment him in one way or another. Try telling one of his friends that [guy's name] looked nice today (or a similar compliment). Chances are that they will tell him. Of course, don't be so pushy that it's creepy. Make sure that it doesn't seem that you're telling everyone that you think he looks nice or whatever besides him. Also try complimenting him directly. Another technique is to talk to your friends when you are nearby him and say, "Don't you think that [guy's name] looked awesome today?"
- Smile when he walks by. Just make sure that you do it casually. Give a nice, small smile that just says, "Hey, it's nice to see you" and then sort of smile at the ground and act chill. Guys like it when you are chill.
- Notice his body language. If he's looking at you for a really long time, that would most likely mean that he likes you. Also, if he's leaning towards you, that might also mean that he's into you.
- Go out as friends for awhile, let him see what you're like outside of school and the phone or however else you've talked to him (IM, email). Start by asking him if he could go over to your house and help you study.
- Act normal. Don't act all weird around him or too flirty.
- If he tells you what he likes in a girl, wait a week or so and pick up on that trait. If it's too risky, don't do it. If a guy really likes you, he won't make you dye your hair or get a piercing. Only do this if you are comfortably with picking up on this trait. Don't change yourself for him; it's not worth it.
- Don't pretend to be someone else to get his interest. If you know he's a big fan of video games and you've never heard of Zelda, don't fake it. He'll eventually find out and you'll look pretty stupid. However, it is a good idea to learn about some of the things that he likes and take up some of his interests as long as taking up one of his hobbies doesn't eliminate all time for your personal interests.
- If he stares at your lips when you are talking it probably means he likes you and wants to kiss you.
- Get to know his friends. If his friends make a good impression of you, they might tell the person you like that you are a good person, but if they don't, don't sweat it. Also, try to make small talk.
Tips
- Boys do not like girls who:
- Smell unpleasant
- Are too direct
- Complain
- Are out of control
- Constantly talk about their ex-boyfriends
- Constantly diet
- Need to discuss everything about the relationship
- Don't know how to have fun
- Can't take a joke
- Who are not confident
- Who talk about their celebrity crush all the time
- Be chill about stuff. Guys don't like girls who are bossy, rude to other girls and guys, have drama all the time, etc.
- Be nice to guys. Don't be overly nice, but like hanging out with them and don't be rude. You have to remember they aren't the girl who stole your best friend. Be nice, cutely laugh at jokes of his, and just be yourself. Be the girl who isn't yelling and acting like a crazy mess, but a girl who has found the between ground of quiet and sweet with sass and an outgoing nature.
- It is also okay if you make mistakes with simple things like:
- You accidentally spill something
- You did something stupid
- You said something stupid or embarrassing
- Do not feel embarrassed if you "accidentally" burped while you were talking, or you made a mistake with something, they think it's cute but don't do it too often or else they will think you are rude.
- If you do do one of these things they will try to help you so that they know they are not completely useless, or they won't because they are too shy. (If they don't help then don't rub it in his face you will just make him feel bad and he will think you are mean.)
- Most boys will either laugh but a gentle laugh so they don't hurt your feelings or they will take sympathy for you.
- Don't change yourself. Just be yourself and don't hide or pretend to be something you're not.
- Start with a simple question, such as, "Did you finish last night's homework?"
- Offer to help him with things, but not too excessively. Don't make it seem creepy.
- Don't ever say to yourself that you aren't beautiful, everyone is beautiful in their own way love yourself.
- If you think this might work try it..... Try teasing them. Not like to mean or rude though, just simple things like laughing if they do something stupid.
- Don't rush into things; give it a few months. Going too fast or getting too clingy may make him not want you.
- Don't go right up to him and ask him out if you barely know him. It will probably get really awkward. Also, NEVER flirt with guys who already have a girlfriend.
- Don't sacrifice your friendships for a boy. If he makes you give up things or people you love, he's probably not the right guy for you.
- If a guy seems to like you for just your body, he isn't worth it and you should move on. He probably doesn't want your friendship, just your bed.
Warnings
- Make sure he is the right guy for you and has respect for you before getting into a serious relationship.
- Remember: All guys are different! What may float one boy's boat, may not float another's. Being yourself is super important.
- Make sure that you really do like him before you go try to get him to ask you out.
- Don't glue to them or seem desperate, most boys hate that.
- Do not pretend to be someone you are not. That is highly unattractive. Chances are that you'll find someone who likes you for who you are anyway.
- Keep your teeth brushed!
