It's tricky, there's no single thing, or even group of things that you can do that will automatically make you more attractive to all the girls in your school. Even the hottest, smartest, coolest guy often finds that the one girl he really likes is the only girl in the whole school who isn't drooling over him. Girls (and women too, it doesn't stop once you hit 18!) are drawn to a variety of different things. I know you've probably heard this a million zillion times, but your best hope of attracting a girl you really like, is to be yourself- it may take a while, but eventually she'll find you. I realise you were probably looking for some more practical tips, so if you want some general advice on how to present that gloriously individual "self" in the best light, you might like to pay attention to some of the following (by no means universal) guidelines:
- take care of your personal appearance. You don't have to walk around in a crisp shirt and tie if baggy jeans and Limp Bizkit t-shirt is more your thing, a lot of girls like a slightly unkempt look, but do make an effort to wash regularly, change your clothes, and if you need to- shave. A regular haircut doesn't hurt either.
-Don't change your personality when you're with your friends. I think you'll find if there's one thing that irritates teenage girls most about teenage guys its the fact that they'll be sweet, sensitive and chatty when they're alone with them, but transform into a grunting, sniggering Neanderthal the minute a male friend turns up. It drove me mad when I was at school and its driving my young cousins mad now. Be the exception to this rule and girls will totally respect you for it. You can retain your masculinity without behaving like a character from Beavis and Butthead.
-Listen! I don't mean you have to be having girly soppy hearts all the time, but just listen to girls when they're chatting about their family or their schoolwork or their hobbies. Show an interest rather than just hanging about hoping that they'll make out with you.
-Be confident. Easier said than done I realise, but make the effort to smile at, talk to and spend time with girls. And not just with the aim of asking them out either- be a friend, someone they can have a laugh with, someone they can talk to and trust- other relationships will spring out of this naturally in time. Take oppurtunities to make small talk- talk about your classes, your teachers, the weather, TV- anything you can think of. Occasionally some stuck-up types might snub you but don't be put off by this, they're a minority in every school and chances are that you don't really want to get to know them anyway- keep trying and you'll find plenty of lovely girls who are perfectly willing to pass the time of day with you.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
