The best thing that you can do is to be yourself. Talk about things that you know a lot about (ie. music, movies, a sport/hobby). Also be sure to ask the girl about herself, her interests, who she hangs out with. This will show the girl you are interested in getting to know who she is inside and it will help you figure out what you have in common to talk about.\nGirls can tell when someone is being genuine and down-to-earth, and when they are not. Any girl worth being around is going to want someone genuine and will like you for who you really are not who you pretend to be.

I teach seniors.... but I've taught every grade from 9 to 12.... and these are the biggies I think every girl should know...\nFirst, some advice every freshman needs to hear....\n1.  DO NOT WRITE LETTERS!!  DO NOT WRITE ANYTHING YOU WOULDN'T MIND SEEING PRINTED IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER THAT YOUR GRANDMOTHER READS AT HER CHURCH!!!  Unfortunately your friends may not be as discreet with your private buisness as you'd like and teachers and other students can end up reading your deep, dark secrets.  \n2.  Be friends with everyone.  Don't try to have a clique like the movie Mean Girls or the Gossip Girls books.  You may not like everyone, but be nice to everyone.  It pays in the long run.  Your best friend in 9th grade will most likely not be your best friend when you are a senior, so don't burn bridges.  \n3.  Don't go boy crazy, even if you are the prettiest girl in your class.  I know a lot of kids say they don't care about their reputations, but one day you will.  You only get a few chances to make mistakes with your reputation.  You don't want to be the girl every guy wants to "date," but that no one will take to prom.  \n4.  Don't date just one guy all through high school.  Spend time with your friends, too, not just with a boy.  And don't let a boy choose your friends for you.... be your own person and like yourself.  Don't think you are married in high school!!  \n5.  Realize now that you will probably suffer a broken heart at least once, and begin telling yourself now you will get over it and he isn't the only boy in the world who could possibly ever make you happy.  \n6.  Have fun, socalize, but remember you go to school to get an education.  Start studying hard in 9th grade.....your grades count in high school and your class rank is determined beginning in grade 9.  You want to be in the top ten percent if you can possibly do it.  Most kids won't start caring about grades until junior year, so if you start in the 9th grade you will be ahead of most others!!  \n7.  Don't be loud to try to get attention.  Some girls talk loud and act silly to get attention - but that is not the kind of attention you want.  People will laugh at you.....  \n8.  Don't chase boys.  Yes, it is 2006, but let boys pursue you....show interest, but let him call you.....  \n9.  GET INVOLVED!!  Join clubs or try out for sports teams  or drama or the school paper or yearbook, etc....... this is critical!!  Disappointments you face will be easier to bear if you have interests and activities to keep you busy.  You will meet people and you will enjoy school more if you are involved - you will feel ownership and pride .... I promise!!  \nGood Luck..... The next four years will be the best four years of your life if you have the right attitude and are a nice person.....:)

Just be yourself. Just because you are younger doesn't mean you can't have/be friends with peeps older than you. Don't worry about what to say.  You already have something in common, the rodeo.

hey im 15 too, so i know what your talking about. I like girls that I can talk to, and that i can see something happening between us. If you just want a boyfriend in general and its not really that you like someone, then i say that you just get involved a little more with the group, and make your self noticed. stand out as an individual. once you find a guy in specific, just try to be friends at first, then make him want you. maybe we should talk later and you can give me more details, send me an e-mail and we can get in touch.

Okay, don't cry.  That is why they are boys.  I am sure you are a beautiful girl.  I had the same issue when I was your age in school. The boys would always go for the really thick girls that looked like they flunked 3 grades.  I used to wonder "what is wrong with me".  I found out that it wasn't me at all.  Some of these girls were fast, meaning they were easy.  They put out and what boy isn't going to be interested in some fast girl that can't say no.  I know it is hard and it was for me too.  Try not to pay it any mind.  I have seen these same girls and boys now since they are adults and my have they changed, and not in a good way.  Don't get down on yourself.  You WILL have a boyfriend but don't get hung up on this.  Just relax and don't think about it so much. I am sure if you are as pretty as you say you are that some boy probably already secretly admires you.  Hang in there, it won't be long before someone sweeps you off your feet.

first thing, quit talking badly about yourself. the thing that is least attractive to me in a girl is when she has no confidence in herselfif you are more confident, the easier it will be for you to get what you want.if this guy is shy like you, and has a hard time talking to the opposite sex like you, you are already showing some signs of things in common. just build up some courage, walk up to him and speak to him......about anything, it doesnt matter. when i was your age, i would have killed to have a girl come up and talk to me. i was very shy  and had a hard time chatting up the girls. after a while, i started gaining confidence and it made my whole high school years that more enjoyable, cause i figured out if you were confident, there was always someone to talk to, and if i talked to more girls, the better chance i had to get me one, or two. anyway, suck it up and talk to him, and the next guy and the next. it will always get easier as you do it more.

you are good looking.  but you shouldn't care what random strangers online care what you look like!  if you were a teen at my school you'd easily be with the "popular" girls.

i was really nervous around guys until i realized that they weren't jst these big intimidating things, that they could be thinking the same thing i was! if u see her in the hall, say what's up, or something and she'll think ur friendly and be more comfortable around you. make sure u get 2 know her before u become committed. patching things up w/ her sis can't hurt either. and if she turns u down, move on! i know u've probably heard that a ton, but if u get over it quickly, other girls will appreciate your independence, and who knows, it might even help u get the girl!

Don't listen to people like HANNAH above.  Go for it. You have nothing to lose.  And a little comment about you saying your are not popular.  Just be yourself, years down the road those "popular kids" are going to be the most ordinary people you will ever know.

Just be yourself.  Being popular is overrated, and at my school, the "popular" people aren't really that popular - they think they are, but the majority of people don't like them.  You're awesome the way you are.

I think the most important thing is to be yourself. You dont want kids at a new school liking you for someone you're not. \n\nSecondly, I would suggest you get involved with activities in the school and or the community. Examples would be a sporting team, speech club, choir, band, a church group, etc. Those are always good ways to meet new people, espeically people who are interested in the same things you are. \n\nAlso, dont be shy. Although it might be hard because you're around new people, don't hesitate to initiate conversations with people. That's how you'll get to know them. You're starting all over with a blank slate. No one knows what you've done in the past or about you at all for that matter, so let them know who you really are. \n\nFinally, best of luck to you! I'm sure you'll do just fine. =)

Relax, you'll be fine.  Get involved in the things you are interested in.  Be a leader, not a follower.  Don't do stuff to be "popular" when you know in your heart it is wrong.  Study hard, play hard.  Be kind to others.  I loved high school; the best 4 years of my life!

you want to sit with the popular ppl? Well, first of all how old r u? Im in 8th grade and let me tell u now that the popular ppl are all the ppl who are smoking, making out w/ every guy they see, and doing stuff that is just stupid. You are better off sticking with your group of friends that you trust! you'll be a lot happier! :)

your buddies are way wrong and lieing their butts off.  avrage is little over 5.  you'll be fine. girls will like you if your a cool person not cause of how big you are.

You mean you are reserved, you have a bit of dignity, good manners?  What's the problem?  If you want to be popular, just be as much of a giggling, mindless idiot as all the other girls.  But if you want to retain your self-respect, stay as you are, and accept having a few close friends instead of a gaggle of geese!
