How can I be more confident around guys? I've never had a boyfriend and never been asked out before either. My brother (who's 16) says i'm good looking enough, it's just because i'm mean. He says i'm not nice enough around guys. I kinda agree, cuz my philosophy has always been "if you don't need the person, there's no use wasting time getting to know them. screw them for now." i know it's bad...i'm really anti-social and prefer not to interact with people much. I know i come across as bitchy a lot. But now i'm done with it. I'm going into high school, and I'm interested in guys...and want to make new friends, especially with boys. So my question is...how do i be more confident in school and stuff and how do i get guys to notice me?

You don't know the boy to begin with, so all you have to do is be nice.. you don't have to like him. It always helps if you smile a little too.. or be funny. Boys aren't that complicated and smiling and seeming easygoing makes them feel comfortable. [ raychullx's advice column | Ask raychullx A Question ]

Talk to people, and just be nice about it. "Hey, how are you", etc. Think about the friends you have now, or how easily conversations go with someone you're confortable around. Talk like that around guys- whether you like them as a friend or maybe more. Ask what the homework is, ask to work as partners on a project, etc. You can get guys to notice you by just being yourself. You won't attract the wrong kind of attention this way, and you'll always be genuine.
