How To Ask A Guy Out When You Aren’t A Victoria’s Secret Model
Ladies, you don’t have to dress provocatively, cake on makeup, or take some silly tips out of your Cosmopolitan magazine on how to approach a man. All you really have to do is make sure you comb out your hair, don’t have food in your teeth, and try to wear a perfume that makes you smell good. Nothing is more attractive than a woman who can take care of herself.
- Being friends with a guy before you try to approach him can help, usually, but take it upon yourself to talk to the new hottie that sits next to you in class or that you keep seeing in the hallway.
- There is nothing wrong with approaching someone. Many times it’s easier to do if you know them prior but if you have enough guts to approach a random guy then go for it! Either way, confidence is key.
- Try to know a thing or two about the guy whenever you decide you want to ask him out. Don’t always listen to the rumors that you hear. Keep in mind that rumors are typically not great conversation starters either. If you see him with a Sleeping With Sirens tee shirt on, then talk to him about the band, and if you don’t know anything about it then ask!
Be strong when asking a guy out. Confidence is the sexiest thing ever for both men and women. If a guy says “no” after you ask him out, don’t take it too harshly and whatever you do, do not snap at him.
There is a chance he could just be having a bad day or doesn’t feel you know each other well enough. Just stay calm and rational. If it’s meant to be then it will be, and if not, then it’s no love lost.
