People who lack confidence typically cannot hold very strong eye contact. Taking bold moves is another way to show confidence, like putting your arm around somebody and not waiting for a sign for every single moment just to try something. Taking that initiative shows confidence, because you're not walking on eggshells and you're not worried about every single moment and doing the wrong thing. Speaking strongly is another good one—you don’t want to have a fake voice, but you should use your full, natural voice. Standing straight, keeping your shoulders back, and not having your hands in your pocket also projects confidence. </div> <div class="qa_answer_footer"> <div class="wh_vote_container qa_vote_buttons"> <span class="wh_thumb_response wh_thumb_msg"> <span class="wh_thumb_helpful"><b>Thanks!

To help build up your confidence, keep yourself clean and dress well in clothes that fit you so that you look and feel your best. When you talk to a girl, maintain eye contact with her to display confidence and show interest in what she has to say. Keep in mind that you can talk to girls the same way you'd talk to anybody else! Simply say hello and bring up an appropriate topic, like her opinion on clothing or the homework assignment from a class you share. Then, listen to what she says and show genuine interest by asking questions. <span id="summary_last_sentence">For more tips from our co-author, including how to behave appropriately around girls, keep reading!</span><span id="summary_position" class="sumpos_bottom"></span><div class="s-help-wrap" data-type="summarytexthelp"> <span class="s-help-prompt">Did this summary help you?</span><button class="s-help-response" data-value="1" data-type="summarytexthelp" data-prompt-text="We are so glad to have helped!" data-finish-prompt="Thank you! <a href='#' class='firststeplink'>Return to the article to learn more...</a>" data-textarea-prompt="Please describe what was helpful in the video..." type="submit">Yes</button><button class="s-help-response" data-value="0" data-type="summarytexthelp" data-prompt-text="Sorry that the video wasn't helpful." data-finish-prompt="Sorry the summary wasn't helpful. <a href='#' class='firststeplink'>Return to the article to learn more...</a>" data-textarea-prompt="Please tell us what you would have liked to see in the video..." type="submit">No</button><div class="s-help-feedback-wrap"> <textarea class="s-help-textarea"></textarea><input type="button" class="s-help-submit button primary" value="Submit"> </div> </div></p> </div> <div id="other_languages" class="section_text"> <a href="#other_languages" class="collapse_link">In other languages</a><div id="language_links"> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://fr.wikihow.com/se-comporter-avec-les-filles">French</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://www.wikihow.it/Comportarsi-con-le-Ragazze">Italian</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://ru.wikihow.com/%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8-%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%B1%D1%8F-%D1%81-%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%B2%D1%83%D1%88%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B8">Russian</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://zh.wikihow.com/%E4%B8%8E%E5%A5%B3%E7%94%9F%E7%9B%B8%E5%A4%84">Chinese</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://id.wikihow.com/Bersikap-di-Dekat-Perempuan">Indonesian</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://nl.wikihow.com/Omgaan-met-meisjes">Dutch</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://www.wikihow.vn/C%C6%B0-x%E1%BB%AD-khi-%E1%BB%9F-b%C3%AAn-c%E1%BA%A1nh-c%C3%A1c-c%C3%B4-g%C3%A1i">Vietnamese</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://th.wikihow.com/%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%A7%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%B9%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A7%E0%B9%86">Thai</a></div> </div> </div> <ul id="end_options" class="section_text"> <li><a href="#" id="printLink">Print</a></li> <li><a href="#" id="gatThankAuthors">Send fan mail to authors</a></li> <div class="clearall"></div> </ul> <div class="page_stats section_text">Thanks to all authors for creating a page that has been read 1,877,287 times.<div class="clearall"></div> <div class="scrolltomarker"></div> </div> </div> <div id="userreviews_mobile" class="section sticky"> <a id="comments"></a> <div class="headline_container"> <div class="headline_info"> <h2 id="ur_h2"><span class="mw-headline">Reader Success Stories</span></h2> </div> </div> <div id="ur_mobile" class="section_text"> <ul> <li class="ur_review ur_review"> <div class="ur_user"> <picture class="ur_avatar"> <source type="image/webp" srcset="/images/thumb/0/0a/CommunityAvatar1.png/-crop-72-72-72px-CommunityAvatar1.png.webp"></source> <img src="/images/thumb/0/0a/CommunityAvatar1.png/-crop-72-72-72px-CommunityAvatar1.png" width="36" height="36" style="max-width:36px" loading="lazy" alt="Harry George"> </picture> <div class="ur_author"> <p class="ur_name">Harry George</p> <p class="ur_date">Sep 25, 2017</p> </div> </div> <div class="ur_review_text"> "I am just 15 years old and I didn't know how to behave with girls.
