OK, this might be a bit long, but i really need help. I have been at a girls school for ages and i've never had a boyfriend. I came to a new school and now i'm in 9th grade. Theres a boy that i really like and he says that he thinks i'm nice and pretty. I'm not ugly but i really need great tips on how to look great and naturally beautiful. He knows me and talks to me sometimes but i am quite shy and there are other girls he is much better friends with. I don't want tips saying, be confident, smile etc. I want things that actually work and i can't ask him out or anything.
HELP!!!!!

1. do not be rididulus and get over dressed or slutty
2. make sure your skin looks clear and tan, use concealer if you need, and some bronzer if you are pale, but DO NOT MAKE YOURSELF LOOK LIKE A CLOWN
3. shower often to make sure your hair is not oily (boys hate that) if it is overly frizzy or curly then straigten it a little or put crea mni but dont overdo it.
4. use whitening mouth wash or whitestrips if your teeth are yellow, and floss often,
5. wear clothes that are flattering but not over the top > depending on your usual style, maybe casual dresses or jeans with nice tantops, dont dress like a boy.
6. be outgoing and friendsly with him but dont seem needy, act like you like him, but do not need him.

you can look naturally beautiful by wearing natural makeup. don't OD on it - don't put on five pounds of lipstick, eyeliner, etc. to look hot; i've heard a lot of guys don't like that. (my boyfriend doesnt mind all the eyeliner I wear, but bugs me a lot to see me without my makeup). It was said on America's Next Top Model once that "ugly girls wear makeup". Too much makeup can make you seem insecure about yur looks or make it seem like you have something to hide under all that coverup and eyeshadow. So keep that in mind.
Find a hairstyle that complements your face & bone structure. This doesn't mean cut your hair exactly the way your friends are doing it; just because it looks good on them doesn't mean it will on you. If you have a round face, long (esp. straight) hair will lengthen it. If your forehead's big, bangs will make it seem smaller. If you're EXTREMELY pale, dark hair will make you seem even paler so you should consider dying it so there's less contrast. You can probably find more hair tips online / in teen magazines.
Clothing should be something you're comfortable with. Don't wear tube tops because you think someone else thinks they're awesome. My only tip with clothing will be to try getting creative with your outfits, mixing and matching, etc. Show off your personality :) Dont wear the same crap every day - that's BORING.
Having said that, make sure you like how you look and aren't looking that way becaus eit's cool or whatever. If youlike your clothes, etc. that will make you appear more confident and positive.
Also, talk to the guy. If he talks to you, there may be something there. Talk about ANYTHING. If you can't think of something good, just bitch about a school assignment you both have and see if he hates it too. Talk about movies in the theather or how much you hated/loved <insert movie / book / tv show here >. Talk to him with your friend next to you if you can't do it alone. Just..talk.
