Question Posted Wednesday September 5 2007, 6:16 pm
I need hekp to try and get a boyfrined or at least to get a boy to like me. I always see questions that girls ask about tips on flirting or getting a boyfriend; I also try to use the advice, but it just never works! I'm generally very confident and talkative, but guys still don't like me. Does the fact that I talk a lot make me come off too strong? I just want to know, are there does anyone have any tips on how to be better with guys, aside from the general "be confident?" I'm in highschool, by the way.
Additional info, added Wednesday September 5 2007, 7:18 pm: There are a few guys I have my eye on. I wouldn't really go out with some random guy.. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?

My advice to you is take advantage of having friends that are guys. If you are not satisfied with them just as friends then try to find a guy that you have a lot in common with. They usually work best for us girls because there will be a lot less drama. Being confindent in urself and being concieted have a fine line between them so be careful with that.

Most people don't get date until they are upperclassmen. It might not seem that way but it's true! Girls will make up "boyfriends" to brag about when really they're just guy friends who they talk to. It's so stupid. (so don't assume that if a girl talks about her "bf" that it's a real boyfriend. he's probably made up.)
But yeah talking too much could make you seem annoying (aka someone that wouldn't be an ideal date) so just make sure that you say what you want to say in as few words as possible (practice this when no one else is around) and really LISTEN to what the other person is saying and respond to what they've said- not as if you're just waiting for the other person to stop talking.
Make sure you aren't pretentious or bragging about anything. And go out of your way to be nice to people- like compliment them and stuff.
Oh- and if you dress slutty don't do that. It really isn't nice looking at clevage. It's awkward for the other person. And it probably is for you too.
Just take a good look at your inner character and make sure that it's all good.
