Wash your face once or twice a day to help prevent pimples or acne breakouts. Personal hygiene also includes wearing clean, good-smelling clothes so you don’t appear dirty or messy. Don’t overuse body sprays or colognes since the scents could become overwhelming.

If you’re still in school, look for clubs with other students so you can get together and share your hobby with others. Don’t stick with a hobby if you don’t like it just because someone you like is also interested in it. Be genuine with what you enjoy.

Stand with good posture and maintain eye contact to seem more confident while you’re interacting with others.

Continue being polite and kind even when you aren’t around the girl so you stay genuine.

Don’t stare too long at the girl since she could get uncomfortable. If the girl doesn’t smile, then she may not be interested in you.

For example, you may say something like, “Hey, my name’s John. How has your day been so far?” If you’re still in school and you’re nervous, look for a time between classes where you can talk to her in the hall, or ask if she wants to work on a project together if you share a class. If the girl doesn’t seem interested in you, say something like, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to bother you,” and leave. Don’t try to keep talking or follow her since you can make her feel uncomfortable.

For example, you may talk about work, favorite movies or music, and hobbies you do. If you’re still in school, you may talk about classes you’ve had together, school events, or clubs that you’re a part of. Avoid talking about yourself too much or bragging since it could come across as being self-centered and that you don’t care about the girl as much. [9] X Research source

Remember to respond openly and honestly to any questions she has for you so she can get to know you well too. Don’t ask personal questions if she seems uncomfortable with the conversation. [11] X Expert Source John KeeganDating Coach Expert Interview. 5 November 2019.

For example, if you were talking about if you have any pets, you may mention a funny story about a pet you once had to connect with her more. Don’t only tell jokes or try to be funny since the girl may think that you don’t know when to take things seriously.

For example, you may say, “Hey, it didn’t seem like you were having a good time earlier. Do you want to talk about it?” If the girl doesn’t want to talk about it or isn’t comfortable, let her know that you’re available when she wants to talk and let her be so you don’t overstep any boundaries.

Send her good morning and good night texts to show the girl that you’re thinking about her. Don’t send too many texts in a row without getting a response since you may seem desperate. If she doesn’t text you back at all, she may not feel comfortable talking to you.

For example, you may share something embarrassing that happened to you if she told you something she’s embarrassed about.

Look for things or events that you can do as a group, such as bowling, going out to eat, or attending a concert. Don’t try to force yourself into her group of friends if she’s not interested in you since you could make her uncomfortable. Only hang out with them if you’re invited.

Don’t tease too much since you may come across as insensitive. If the girl doesn’t seem responsive to flirting or she doesn’t flirt back, she may not be interested in a relationship. You can also flirt over text if you aren’t together in person. If you flirt over text, be sure to flirt with her while you’re together or else you may send her mixed signals.

For example, you may say something like, “Your hair looks really nice,” or “I love that dress. Is it new?” If you want to compliment her personality, you may say something like, “I really admire your sense of humor,” or “You’re the most determined person I know, and I appreciate that about you. ”

If you still don’t know if she’s interested in you touching her, then ask her directly to show that you respect her.

For example, you may say something like, “I’ve really enjoyed spending time together and getting to know you. You’re funny, smart, and driven, and I’m starting to have feelings for you. ” Don’t feel rushed to ask the girl if she’s interested in you. Take time to develop your friendship first so you’re comfortable around one another. If she says she doesn’t feel the same, say that it’s okay and ask if you can remain friends. Rejection is bound to happen at some point in your life, so learning how to handle it can help you feel more confident.

If she says no to the date, don’t get upset and tell her that it’s okay. Respect her decision and don’t try to pursue her if she doesn’t want you to.
