How do you get a girl to like you?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Just be yourself

Do's
Be casual and relaxed.
Complement her on her clothing, hair etc. Chicks love compliments.
If your funny be funny, if your not, don't try to be.
Drive the conversation towards her life, avoid talking about yourself to much.
On the off chance you get yourself a date, do something reasonably romantic and something you think she might enjoy.

Dont's
Don't follow her around like a love sick puppy, it's pathetic and she knows it.
Confess your undying love, that's even worse.
Make a public scene when you find out she doesn't dig you.
Make fun of a genetic defect (birth mark, lazy eye etc)
Actually making fun at all is pretty bad, though playfull teasing can go a long way.


That's all I can think of right now, but these are only ways of getting yourself noticed. If she doesn't like you at the first attempt, it a very rare occurance you'll get her to change her mind about you.

Strange question...
Who do you get a girl to - like you ? like who?
Who do you get a girl - to like you? -->yourself?

Beats me!

I bet it was misspelled - it should've been "how". Tough to give any advice for all chicks are different (despite common beliefs). Anyway, I second Mustang - don't pretend to be someone (or sth) you're not - otherwise it might result in a disaster - after she finds out you were lying.

*lack of sunglight* sighs
anyway back on Topic, Mustangs got the general idea, if your out in town and happen to see her, buy her a drink and just hand it to her, then start to chat about nothing and everything (but don't babble nervously) that just makes you look like an idiot. If you happen to know her favourite song, ask the DJ to request it, ask her to dance, and if she says yes, lock in some of the pateneted SSJ dance moves! If all goes to plan, you should at least get her number

hate to be the party pooper - but I'm under the firm belief that you can't just "get a girl to like you", she either does or doesn't. Unfortunate fact of life really.

be yourself...if she likes you, she likes you....if she doesn't, drink until you can't stand up

gromit is right. u just cant unless you've got that mysterious X-factor that some men have and the rest of us don't. for most of us its just chance. having said that theres no reason not to try! u can guarantee though that the ones you think you really want are the ones you dont get.

I've found through the years that bars, discos, clubs are actually dreadful places for meeting someone unless all you want (and all they want) is to flirt or a cheap pick-up. Most of my steady girlfriends I've known already, at college or work, my first wife I met at university, although my second (and current) spouse I met in a supermarket; she couldn't reach the vegetables on the top shelf only being 4'11"

general advice, doesn't guarantee success but improves your chances: be well groomed, clean, tidy and smart but not flash, casual is good but have at least one expensive accessory like a really good watch, make sure you're smelling pleasant, clean teeth, smile a lot, be friendly and approachable, start a conversation but let her do most of the talking, women love men who listen to their drivel, have some kind of gimmick like a magic trick to get their attention and entertain them, be a good dancer but not too good! don't gabble like a fool, ask her open questions that she can yatter away to, don't go for a pick-up on the first night, make sure you get her number. if you get that far you're doing ok!

absolutely! everything he said!

I met my soon-to-be-wife in a student cafe, there was simply nowhere to sit so my friend and I asked these two girls if they didn't mind sharing a table with them. we didn't actually talk until the next time we met...

...its all about chance mate. don't force it.

I kinda agree. You can't 'get' a girl to like you...unless you're just that kinda guy. *shakes fist at two of my friends*

Anyway, even though you can't make them, you can still try.

Women still beleave that the man should make the first move, or atleast the majority of the women I know. So, even if she likes you, there is little chance she'll go after you.

So, you have to go after her. If the girl is someone you already know, it should be easier. If it isn't someone you know, a bit more difficult.

I've never been comfortable talking to people I don't know by myself, let alone girls I don't know.

But if it's a girl you know, she may think of you as "just a friend" or "like a brother".

My generaly plan, is be direct and ask her to see a movie or ask her to dinner. If she sais yes, horay. If she sais no, but dosn't give you a reason as to why she said no. Tell her you accept her answer but want clarafacation as to why she said no. It gets them thinking and they may go out with you in the end. Worked for me.

Anyway, thats about all the girl advise I have for you today.

Be yourself.
Talk to her - not with the intention of screwing her, but with the intention of communicating with her like another equal human being. Screwing comes later, if at all.

Treat her like a person, not a walking vagina. I think that is probably the one most common mistake guys make. We're straightforeward creatures - we want sex, so we set out to get it. Unfortunately, women are NOT straightforeward creatures, and that approach will not work with them.

First of all, none of the above works. Secondly, if she doesn't like you at first, you're 99% done for... Good luck!


Careful what you wish... You might just get it.

i'm having the same problem myself and i think it's down to my lack of confidence so any more suggestions would be appreciated

Ya, women are not so much sex driven...well...I know a few but there exceptions.

As a female friend of mine told me, pick up lines that do not involve sex can work on women. But pick up lines involving sex, always work on men.
