Tips from our Readers
- If you ask out a girl and she says no, ask if you can still be friends. She might end up falling for you down the line, but if not then you'll still have a really great friend. Don't keep asking her, though, or you'll look desperate.
- Be polite. Hold the door open for her, and if there's a lot of people walking in the door hold the door for all of them. This shows that you're polite and caring.
- Try to talk about her and ask questions to get to know her. Don't talk only about yourself, as this can sound selfish.
