What can I do to make a girl take an interest in me?
Tyler: Girls like it when you are a complete douche-bag. It sounds crazy, it really does. But the more poorly you treat her, the less you are perceived to care about her, and the more nonchalantly you tell her you "might call her back," the greater the likelihood she will become interested in you. Conversely, the more you show her you like her, the more actively you pursue her, the more you show genuine interest, the more "creeped out" she'll be at your hopeless romanticism. Unless you get really, really lucky.
Brittany: The right girl will like you no matter what, and for yourself, not someone you pretend to be. Sure, you can come off mean to get the girl, or nice to woo the girl, but in the end the truth will come out regardless. Eventually you will slip up and she'll see the real you and probably like you better for it. As for her taking interest, if she's the right girl, she'll notice you. It will just come naturally to you both.
What can I do to get this guy in class to like me?
Tyler: Show him how smart you are. Haha, just kidding. The best way to really intrigue a guy is to sit next to him. Other than that, your job is pretty much done. Just let his eyes wander, as they usually will, in your direction. His brain will follow. Maybe a quick glance once in class, combined with a smile, and maybe one more as you saunter out after class. He'll very quickly be asking your name – or he may end up staring at you the rest of the semester. It's the luck of the draw, really.
Brittany: I’m going to have to agree with Tyler on this one. Men today are looking for more assertive women. If you want him, don't be afraid to go after him!
