how do i make myself approachable?


Question Posted Saturday February 14 2009, 11:16 pm

im 16, and not to be concieted, i am a pretty girl. but i am SO shy, & pretty innocent. (i dont smoke, drink, swear) i am really outgoing with myfriends, but when it comes to talking to guys or making small talk, i freeze. ive never kissed anyone or had a boyfriend. idk maybe i am doing something wrong? because obviously if someone were to really like me, they would not care if i was shy, and they would try to get to know me better. i know sometimes i might give strange or dirty looks to people, that i dont even know im giving. like honestly im a truly, goodhearted, kind person. but sometimes if im not smiling and i look one way instead of the other it can be percieved as me being mad or stand-offish. which is so unfortunate because i really dont even know im doing it unless someone says something. but i try to smile as much as possible. i dont know what else i can do to make myself more approachable. i try being as friendly as i can with as many people as i can.. but idk what is something that im doing that isnt letting guys want to know thereal me. they talk with me and joke around with me .. but nothingreally ever goes farther than that. can anyone help me ?

If you're innocent, at that age a guys are looking to "get lucky". If they don't perceive you as being a physical item, they may not pursue you romantically.

On the other hand, you may just be giving off a friend vibe. If you aren't smiling and you don't look directly at a guy, he won't think you're giving him a bad signal. Just try to flirt (touch, give hints that you're interested, even look at and smile). When I was that age, I was scared to approach girls, as were most guys. Just understand that guys are facing possible rejection whenever they approach a girl, and that can be tough until they get used to it. Stay in shape and be friendly and it's virtually guaranteed someone will take notice. Just try to understand the pressure guys feel when they first start "playing the field"

I know this isn't extremely constructive, but hope it helps you understand the situation in some
