  1. You can up your rizz by cultivating some zen while you're chatting up a babe at the local watering hole. We’re not saying you shouldn’t care about the person you’re talking to, but realizing you’ll still be OK even if they shoot you down can give you that Clooney-level magnetism you’re looking for.
  2. Not only does it take the pressure off of you to keep up a convo, but the truth is most people’s favorite subject is themselves. [2]
  3. Smile and maintain eye contact . Studies show people are charmed by eye contact and friendly faces, so a genuine grin and attentive eye contact are tools you’ll want to have in your rizz toolbelt. [3]
  4. Humor is a great way to keep a situation low-pressure, and it’s also super attractive. Just smile a lot, laugh at the other person’s jokes (even if they’re lame), and try to approach the conversation good-naturedly.

I keep seeing this beautiful girl at a cafe I study at, and I really want to talk to her. But I feel so awkward. What do I do? How do I get her to notice me?

Great question. The first thing to do is to always go back to step one, which is your own mindset and way of being. For you to approach her in the right way, you need to love and accept yourself. You need to enjoy being you and get to a place where you are open and curious about new people and things.

That’s the first part. Because, if you're feeling insecure, she will know. So it’s really about accepting yourself, even though you feel awkward, or you're not perfect, or anything else.

From there, just be open and friendly. Make eye contact and smile. For example, I was at a coffee shop, sitting outside on a nice sunny day, and there was someone sitting next to me. And she looked over at me and smiled. So I gave a wave and said, “Hey, how's your day?”, and that little thing started an entire easy conversation.

It all happened because she and I were both open, and we could have a conversation. I also didn't want or need anything from her, and she could sense that, which meant she could get comfortable around me.

Whether you're sitting down or walking down the street, just make friendly, confident eye contact with someone who seems attractive to you. And then you can simply smile and wave. If that person is in the same space and mindset, they'll usually do the same back. And if they're not, maybe they're not interested, or maybe their energy level isn’t the same as yours at the moment. Don't try to force anything. Just remain open and create opportunities for connection.

I think the easiest way to talk to someone you like is to find a common person that you know and have them introduce you. But it sounds like you don't have that option in this case. Instead, social commentary on the environment that you're in can be a really easy way to break the ice when you're meeting someone new.

Truthfully, you're just looking to open a conversation and gauge interest. Start with a simple observation about the cafe you’re in, and go from there.
