Question Posted Saturday October 21 2006, 11:03 pm
I really want a bf. I was with my best friend and her boyfriend tonight and they were so cute together and itmade me really want one. It made me feel kinda lonely too so what are somet ips for getting a boyfriend and showing guys your interested and talking to them more? kthx.
The hardest thing IMO is finding someone that you will get along with, share interests with, and would actually be happy with. I'd seriously suggest finding someone you like as a friend, is a good person, as well as being attracted to. I avoid just dating left and right, you end up with dating horror stories that way.
If you are interested in a particular guy, I still believe that women shouldn't be afraid of being direct as possible. Ask a guy if they want to go out to do something, dinner, whatever. Many guys (myself included) are notoriously dense at times with flirting, until someone overdoes it (friends always tell me "Dude she was so flirting with you" while I think someone was simply being nice). Flirting can work, but try to avoid being slutty about it, as that can send the wrong message (many guys will simply think "Alright, sex!"). Even something as simple as being physically close, listening to what someone has to say, even giving them your phone number and asking someone to call you are all decent ways of trying to give someone a hint.
Also, don't be afraid of rejection - EVERYONE gets rejected at some time or another. Don't let it faze you, and keep your eyes open for someone else. Try not to let it get you down, the next BF might be just around the corner. [ Erronius's advice column | Ask Erronius A Question ]

1) talk often with a guy you like don't make it seem like you like him because maybe he might not like you. when he likes you then give him a sign that you like him.
2)ask to go to the movies or mall. something like that
3) if you're not shy ask him for his IM or phone number

Be friendly, be approachable. It's okay to be friends with guys before you date them! It's how I ended up meeting the guys I've dated.
Try finding common interests with guys... do you secretly love video games? Because a lot of guys love it when a girl can kick their butt at Halo or Mario Kart! [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
