You spot an attractive girl across the room and you feel it: the butterflies. You want to talk with her and ask her out, but don\u2019t know how to approach a girl you like without being weird. Well, we’re here to help.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it\u2019s because we rely on social media and our phones, but approaching a girl you like can feel pretty intimidating these days. However, it doesn\u2019t have to be this way.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s our practical advice on how to strike up a great conversation with your crush.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Approach a Girl You Like <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make eye contact<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies show<\/span><\/a> that maintaining eye contact with a woman is one of the top ways to catch her attention. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you want to know if a girl\u2019s interested in you, establish some respectful eye contact with her first. <\/span>Respectful means you\u2019re not ogling her or being creepy. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe try to catch her eye from across the room and give her a gentle smile. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, when she’s speaking, hold eye contact and listen to what she says. <\/span>This shows you\u2019re attentive and interested.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get your body language right<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Body language<\/span><\/a> can tell you a lot about how a woman feels about you. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why getting your body language right is another essential step in how to approach a girl you like. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You want to come across as confident but not arrogant, open yet not overbearing. While achieving this balance may sound complicated, it really isn’t.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep your back straight and your shoulders back, like you\u2019re sure of yourself (even if you\u2019re not feeling that way on the inside), and don\u2019t forget to smile.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will tell the girl that you’re confident and friendly. As a result, she’ll likely be more receptive to your advances.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approach her ASAP<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another good tip when figuring out how to approach a girl you like is to pay attention to timing. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some men might wait a few days or longer to approach their crush because they don’t want to look too eager. However, this isn’t always a good idea. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if she\u2019s at home wondering if you\u2019re into her? Or even worse, what if some other guy makes a move while you\u2019re playing around? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toying with someone\u2019s feelings is rarely a good game-plan. It\u2019s better to be open so that she can understand your intentions. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus waiting around to make your move will only crack up your nerves. You might as well approach her and see if it’s a match or not. What have you got to lose? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, wearing your heart on your sleeve like this may feel daunting, but it\u2019s important! It\u2019ll show her that you’re confident and that can be a real turn-on. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to say to her<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, now that you\u2019ve approached her, what exactly do you say? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figuring out <\/span>how to talk to girls<\/span><\/a> may sound nerve-wracking, but try not to overthink it! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, focus on actively listening, being polite, and talking about things that you’re passionate about. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re nervous, maybe think about what you\u2019d like to talk about before you approach her. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by saying \u201cHello\u201d and then ask her about her favorite movies or see if you have any hobbies in common. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid putting pressure on yourself to come across as mysterious or smooth, it\u2019s far more important to be yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, don\u2019t worry if you say the wrong thing or slip up. This is your first conversation with each other, so just try to connect with her authentically.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pretending to be someone you\u2019re not or saying things that aren\u2019t true to impress her may come across badly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check your attitude<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just what you say that matters, but how you say it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attitude is everything when it comes to attraction. Pay attention to the energy you\u2019re giving off around your crush. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you coming across a know-it-all? Or pessimistic? Are you trying so hard to please her that you\u2019re not listening to what she\u2019s saying?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When approaching a girl, you want to maintain a cool collected vibe and appear as someone who\u2019s easy-going. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can make a girl feel comfortable she\u2019s more likely to keep engaging with you down the line.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figuring out how to approach a girl you like doesn\u2019t have to be complicated and you don\u2019t need to be scared about looking weird either. All you need to be is yourself!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authenticity and a strong sense of self goes a long way when approaching a girl. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By setting the intention to connect truthfully rather than impress, you\u2019ll be putting your best foot forward. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
