Have a sense of style. Okay, you may not be the kind of girl who pampers herself all day long, but don’t be afraid to take fashion risks. Do you like bright colors? Show him just how fabulous you are. Express your individuality with earrings, scarves, or whatever makes you feel pretty. Don’t worry about fitting in; you’re a trend setter! Don’t go overboard with sexy clothing. Show him you are beautiful without having to give away all the goods. Sexy is good. Trashy is risky.
Don’t try to impress him by cussing like a sailor. Remember, act like a lady. Speak to him in gentle tones. Remind him of how feminine you can be. Compliment guys. An honest compliment can go a long way. If you like somebody, compliment them on the particularities you like about them. Don’t compliment them too much or gush. Act romantic and sensitive. Let guys know you need to get affection. Sometimes, if you don’t tell them directly, they may even forget you have feelings too. Speak your mind!
You want to seem interested, but you don’t necessarily have to make yourself too available or pursue the guy. This is also a great way of protecting yourself, so you don’t have to worry about the other person knowing every detail about your life when you’re getting to know each other.
On the other hand, don’t go about feeling sorry for yourself. Be a man when you need to; being afraid of everything and everyone won’t get you too far. When you’ve got problems, face them and try to solve them, instead of denying their existence.
Remember to make eye contact and to hold it for more than three seconds to really show your interest. When acceptable, try some light touching on the arm of the other person to initiate physical contact. Mirror their behavior, subtly copying their body language and paraphrasing what they say before commenting or answering a question.
Having a high standard of personal hygiene is the very least you can do to improve your appearance. Don’t smell; take showers and use deodorant and maybe fragrance, if you want to. Have nice, clean hair and clean teeth; make sure your mouth doesn’t smell, either. Clean and cut your nails, don’t let them grow too long- especially if you’re a boy. Wear clean, ironed clothes. Be well-dressed. The clothes must not necessarily be very expensive, but they always must be clean, fit for your size and appropriate for your body type. Very important: dress tastefully. Okay, maybe you’re not an expert at choosing the right clothes for you and combining them, but at least ask for advice from somebody who is one. It’s crucial not to look like your blind grandmother picks your clothes.
