Start taking risks, and go up to people you are attracted to, and start socializing. Make friends who share the same interests as you, all you need to do is start out by introducing yourself. just say, hey, im "" and ask a question. also, always smile! the more you smile, the more comfortable you will feel, and the better ora you give out. You will come accross as approachable, which is definitely a plus! When you start making conversation, and start feeling comfortable around the person you are talking to, keep them interested by asking them if they want to hang out sometime! Also, make sure to ask questions about them and their life. This will show that you are also interested in what they have to say.
Good luck!!!!! [ xosodapopx3's advice column | Ask xosodapopx3 A Question ]

I mean, there's no real way to make people like you, but the key to making friends or starting relationships is engaging people in conversation.

You want to attract someone who likes you for you, so you don't want to NOT be yourself. Being female, I will tell you that the kind of guy that girls look for is as varied as the number of girls out there! Some look for a guy who is outgoing and likes sports, some look for a guy who is more reserved and likes to read or who likes technology. Some are attracted by brains...some by looks. So just be yourself, as you want to attract someone who will want you for YOU.
Other than that, be interested in the girl. Ask her questions about herself and tell her about yourself....your likes, your life...your family. Be open and honest. Good luck! [ ellen537's advice column | Ask ellen537 A Question ]
