Steps to Stand Out
Confidence
Guys are naturally drawn to girls who own their awesomeness. Luckily, confidence can be practiced. Stand tall—strong posture speaks volumes. Choose outfits that make you feel amazing. Also, boost your self-image by focusing on what makes you unique.
- Confidence is magnetic—forget stressing over your height, shape, or size.
Radiant Smile
A glowing smile can light up a room and instantly grab a guy’s attention. Flash a smile at your crush when passing by at school. Play up your lips with some gloss or balm to make your smile even more memorable.
- Try practicing in the mirror to find your perfect flirty smile and use it when you see someone you like.
Attractive Appearance
Every guy is drawn to different features in a girl. There’s no one-size-fits-all for beauty—it’s all about perspective. To bring out your natural charm, focus on what makes you stand out and embrace your individuality.
- Create a daily routine to keep you feeling fresh and confident. Cleanse your face, brush your teeth, choose a killer outfit, do your hair, and apply makeup if that’s your thing.
- Your size or shape isn’t the deal-breaker you might think it is. The right guy will appreciate you just as you are.
Trendy Style
Step out the door looking your best. Rock your favorite outfits at school and snap weekend pics in your trendiest fits. You don’t have to ditch your style to look on-point—just choose trends that highlight your personality and flatter your shape. You’ll turn heads without trying.
- On a budget? Trade clothes with friends, hit up thrift stores, or scout deals online and in-store.
- Stuck with a school uniform? Add some flair with accessories—and don’t forget to share your style on social media.
Great Scent
Sometimes, a guy falls for the way you smell before anything else. Most teen guys aren’t talking about perfume, but they’ll definitely notice if you smell amazing. Choose a fragrance or body lotion you genuinely enjoy—you’ll feel good, and he’ll be drawn to it.
- You don’t need a whole beauty routine to impress. If scent isn’t your thing, that’s totally okay too.
Shared Interests
Bonding over mutual interests makes everything more fun. That doesn’t mean giving up what you love—just finding a few common points with the guy you like can go a long way.
- You might both be into soccer, love the same band, or enjoy theater. Find your overlap and start the conversation there.
