If a boy falls for you when you are trying hard to act a certain way, he doesn't really like "you," because you aren't being you at all. The relationship starts out on a lie.
Believe me, I know how it feels. I've chased after tons of guys and tried and tried to get their attention and affection. What I learned is that if you have to try, you should probably just forget about it. There are plenty of guys out there who will like you for exactly who you are - and being around them won't feel like hard work.
If you get nervous around a boy you like, just try to treat them like you'd treat a friend of yours. That way you'll be confident, friendly, and interested in his life - 3 things that EVERYONE likes.
Good luck xo [ shouldilookolder's advice column | Ask shouldilookolder A Question ]

Even you have personal preferances in what you are attracted to in a guy. HOW about looks? Maybe you're not picky and any guy in school can ask you out and you'd accept, right? I don't think so. What if he is too skinny or nerdy looking for you, is kinda dopey looking to you or the kind of guy who is a player. No guy could do anything special to make you date him if you couldn't stand his looks, his voice sounds like a female or too nasal, or his laugh makes your skin crawl.
First, be yourself, cus you want to attract only the kind of guy who likes someone like you. You are not going to be of interest for a relationship to 100% Of the boys. About the only thing you'll find is that close to 100%, is that men will be attracted by your female body, just for the joy of looking at it, not cus they want a relationship with you. It will be so, throughout your life, no matter your age.
Talking is the best way to catch a guys interest. Smile at him and greet him by name. Guys are usually scared to approach girls for fear of being rejected so approaching a guy first is to your advantage. Eventually, you'll ask the right guy and he'll want to hang out with you.
How did you get to know your girlfriends. How do you know their favorite singers, movies, favorite foods, or holiday...etc. Because somewhere along the line you both asked each other. Start convo's in relation to a class you share, or some other school event to make a comment and then ask him a question about it, like "how did you do on the test in Science." Then you might share with your favorite part in science is. Find out his. try to latch on to something in the last comments or answers given, to ask the next question. If he says, he's mostly into astronomy. You could ask if he has his own telescope and find a way to ask if you could come over some time to have him show you the moon and other things. IF he says he didnt do well cus he hates science, then you now know what he doesn't like but you don't know what he does like so ask,"Whats your favorite subject then he says "band, because he wants to be a musician someday." You know he likes band, what do you not know about him in that class...obviously...what instrument he plays and what others he might already know how to play or want to learn. At the end of a conversation, you tell him you enjoyed your chat with him and would like to do that again real soon. Would it be okay to trade phone numbers, theres a good chance he will do it. The more time he then gets to spend hanging with you, is where he will form the decision whether he is really interested and likes you as girlfriend material or whether just as a friend or neither.
