West Field students are super engaged in finding somebody to date because it is a new school with new people and new opportunities. There are many qualities that people at West Field are looking for this year. Here are top 5 ways to talk to somebody you like and get them to like you.
Step number one: Be your true self. Students from West Field have shared that in order for somebody to like you, you have to be yourself. West Field sophomore, Lena Gillaspy shares “If you want somebody to like you, don’t lie about who you are. Nobody wants to date somebody who is being fake about themselves.” Being your true self is what is best because it can not only help you now but it can set you up for happy and healthy relationships down the road. You want somebody who likes you for you, not for who they want you to be.
Step number two: Show Genuine interest in them. When you like somebody you want them to know you are interested in them and care about what they have to say. Another way of doing this is what Sophomore Morgan Miller shared, “Becoming friends with their friends and just getting to know and doing things they enjoy to do as well makes a great relationship.” Pay attention to things that they like and bring them up in conversations. It will show them that you really are listening and are interested in what they do.
Step number three: Be confident. Flirt with them, give good compliments, and make it known that you want them. Junior Holli Marston shared, “You gotta flirt with them and make it known you’re interested or else they don’t know and could just think you’re being friendly.” Confidence is key when trying to get somebody to like you, don’t feel embarrassed and be proud to be there. Once you show them this, they will be more confident in themselves as well.
Step number four: Take it slow and don’t seem desperate. When you first start talking to somebody that you like, being kind but not too kind is what works best. If you seem attached at first, it can tend to scare the person away. Later in the relationship being clingy can be good, but at the start they don’t know you that well and it could give them the wrong first impression. You don’t want to seem too desperate because it seems like you aren’t actually interested in them and just want someone around.
Last step, number five: Be open to new things. When you first start talking to them they might enjoy doing different things than you do and if you want them to be interested in you, you have to learn to enjoy doing what they like. You want to try new things, experience what they like, talk about their interests, and be open to trying something different with them even if it can be scary.
In conclusion, if you want a genuine relationship, be yourself and take it slow. West Field students love when you are yourself and it creates less drama and more happiness.
