Learn how to strike up conversations and get to know her better. And learn to put a little electric spark in your flirting.
Steps
-
Just start saying hello. Got your eye on someone? Winning someone over doesn't need to be super-complicated. If you want a girl to start noticing that you exist, just start saying hello. When you pass in the hallway between classes, make eye contact and say, "Hey!" Smile and give a little wave. She'll get the hint.
- You don't even have to say anything. Just start smiling when you see her coming. This will always be appreciated.
- Use her name. Hearing your own name called helps people feel validated and secure. It's like a little compliment every time. When you see her, say her name often. [1] X Trustworthy Source PubMed Central Journal archive from the U.S. National Institutes of Health Go to source
- If you've never seen this girl before and want to approach her, just go up and say hello, then start a conversation.
-
Start striking up conversations. After she's aware of your presence, strike up a conversation. Lead with something interesting and specific, or talk about something you know you've got in common.
- Be funny. Lead with something that will break the ice: "I'm thinking of cutting gym and renting a Cadillac to drive to Mexico. What do you say? I need an accomplice."
- Talk about something you've got in common. If you see a girl out at a bar or restaurant, say, "Isn't this place great? What do you think? Have you been here before?" If you have a class together, ask her about how she did on the last test, or how she feels about the readings.
- Avoid "closed" questions that won't give you anything to talk about. If you say, "What's up?" or "How's it going?" that conversation is going nowhere.

Find an excuse to hang out one-on-one. Getting to know someone is tough in a group setting . If you want to get to know her better, try to find an excuse to talk, just the two of you. Make it a regular thing.
- If you start talking to a girl while you're out somewhere, ask if she wants to move into a booth, or stand outside and talk for a while. "Want to talk outside so we can hear each other? I want to hear what you have to say."
- Sit next to her at lunch, or on the bus, or chat her up in the hallway while she's walking to class. If you both walk home from school together, walk together.
-
Reach out via Facebook or text . Sometimes, it can be a lot easier to get to know a girl online, or via text. Girls might open up a little more and be a little more talkative in writing, than in person. It's always better to talk in person and find a little connection. But after you get a girl's number , text her when you have something interesting or specific to talk about .
- Text or message about something timely. If you're working on the homework for a class you've got together, text her: "This English reading is killing me. Distract me?"
- Never waste a girl's time by texting, "Hey" or "What up" or some kind of emoticon. If you want to attract her, say something that she can respond to.
- Reader Poll: We asked 163 wikiHow readers, and 58% of them agreed that they know a girl is interested in them on Facebook if she responds quickly and seems engaged in the conversation . [Take Poll]
-
Slow down. Want to "win" a girl over? Spend time getting to know her and becoming her friend first. Lots of guys complain about getting lost in the "Friend Zone." News flash: Girls are either attracted to someone, or they aren't. The more time you spend with someone, the more feelings will develop. It may not initially be romantic feelings, but it may soon develop into something more than just "hanging out."
- It's good to be direct and ask her on a date. [2]

Ask her questions about her interests. Everyone wants to be made to feel comfortable and at ease with a potential partner or date. If you want to put a girl at ease, get her talking. How? Ask her open-ended questions about her interests. Get to know her hopes and dreams, and her desires. Learn everything you can about her.
- Look for open doors in things that she talks about. If she mentions off-hand that she hated watching the new Avengers movie, ask her what kind of movies she likes. If she says, "Horror" ask, "What do you like about those movies?" Keep her talking, and keep it positive.
- Ask open-ended questions always. Don't ask questions that have one-word, "yes or no" answers.
-
Give her your undivided attention. When you're together, be together. Show her that she matters to you by putting away distractions when you're together. If you're looking over her shoulder and trying to eavesdrop on another conversation, or are distracted by your phone, she'll feel like second fiddle.
- If she's speaking in a group, direct your attention to her. Even if others are trying to talk over her, she'll appreciate the fact that you care about what she has to say.
-
Listen actively. Making conversation involves connecting. To find common interests, you have to actually listen when she talks, respond to what she says, and give her the time of day. You can't just fake your way through a relationship. You have to really listen and get to know her.
- Make eye contact when she's talking. [3]

-
Text her promptly. Lots of guys have an idea that waiting to text, call, or email shows that you're "hard to get" and it makes you attractive. Really, it just makes it look like you watch too many rom-coms. Want to win a girl over? Text her when you notice that she's texted you. Respond to a call or an email when you see it. Don't try to put her on ice to show that you're cool.
- At the same time, it's important to avoid over-texting someone. If you see she hasn't responded right away to something that you've said, don't blast off 50 more texts asking, "Hey? You there?" Give her some space and chill.
-
Let your sense of humor through. One of the key components to attraction is sharing a sense of humor. Recent studies show that guys who try to be funny are always more attractive than very serious or very stoic guys, when courting women. [4] X Research source Even if your joke falls flat, it's typically a good idea to try to show that you like to laugh.
- Cut up the way you might with your friends, but on your best behavior. If you don't share the same sense of humor as someone, you don't want to be with them anyway. You won't be able to fake it.
-
Be supportive. Be on her side. If she's wrong about something or struggling, tell her gently and keep her best interest at heart. If she's right, encourage her to do what makes her happy. When she's sad, be there for her and let her know that you are there for her. Let her know she can talk about anything with you.
-
Have positive energy. Positivity is attractive. When you're together, try your best to keep things light and fun instead of serious and dramatic. Focus less on complaining about things together and more on focusing on the good. Being together should be fun.
- When you're around her, don't be someone who hates on others and brings others down. Be someone who appreciates things and her, so when she's around you she'll feel better about herself and the life around her.
-
Tease her gently. Some studies show that teasing a woman gently can increase the electricity of attraction. [5] X Research source Respect a woman's intelligence by treating her like a regular person, not something to be put on a pedestal.
- Be kind. "Teasing" doesn't mean "being mean." It's one thing to say something teasing, like, "I saw all those selfies you put up on Facebook today. And I'm being totally serious when I say this: Your room is a huge mess." It's another to say, "I saw all those selfies you put up on Facebook today. That's pretty vain. Do you really like attention from guys?"
-
Go easy on the compliments. Everyone likes a good compliment now and again. But if you start doing nothing but compliment a girl's appearance every time you see her, it's going to grow tiresome quickly. Just as tiresome as the "Hey-what's-up-not-much" conversation.
- Compliment her appearance, sparingly. Focus on choices that she makes, not physical attributes. Say, "That dress looks really good on you" instead of saying, "Your body is really sexy." The attraction is nice, but if she thinks that all you care about is how beautiful she is then she'll begin to think you're shallow.
-
Be respectful. Light touching is sometimes electric and attractive. Brushing a wisp of hair behind a girl's ear, or touching her hand can be an exciting little moment and increase your intimacy. It can also turn a girl off significantly. It's important to read her body language and respond in turn. [6] X Research source
- Respect her boundaries. If a woman says no, understand that you should stop right there. If a woman shows signs of disinterest, don't persist. If a woman shows signs of being uncomfortable, stop being a creep. If a woman says she's not into something now or never, respect that and don't try to persuade her into doing anything she doesn't want to.
- Respect her decisions. Does she wear lots of makeup? Fine. Let her know if it makes her happy then she can go all for it, she looks incredible with or without. Does she want to wear wacky clothes that show lots of skin? Okay. It isn't your place to tell her what she can and cannot do.
-
Look your best . Looks do matter. If you want to win a girl over, give some extra time and thought into grooming yourself and styling yourself when you know you're going to be around her. Pick clothes that make you feel comfortable and that flatter your body. Shower regularly and try to get in shape .
-
Don't over-think it. Women aren't prizes to be won or ladders to be climbed. Strictly speaking, you don't "win" a girl. You get to know them, and you form a relationship with them. Sometimes, the attraction is there. Sometimes not. If you want to get to know someone better, there's no better way than to go up to her and ask. [7] X Expert Source Chris Willatt

The easiest way to win over a girl is to first try and strike up some conversations with her. If you’re not sure what to talk about, bring up something you have in common like “I thought our math test was pretty tricky. What did you think?”. During your conversations, ask lots of questions so you can get her talking and can learn more about her interests. For example, if she mentions that she didn’t like the latest Marvel movie, you can ask, “What kind of movies do you like?” Remember to be a good listener by making eye contact and responding to what she says. If she messages you, don’t try to play it cool by waiting to text her. Respond to her right away so she knows you’re interested. To get to know her even better, find ways to hang out one-on-one like sitting next to her at lunch or walking home from school together. For more tips, including how to be respectful to a girl you’re trying to win over, read on!
