Be confident. Every boy (or girl) seeks for a girl that is confident and loves who she is. That catches their attention first. Especially when you don't act like it but know it. So remember, confidence, confidence and confidence. But if you are a shy girl, then seek out a shy guy or otherwise, become less shy and feel cool and free about yourself. But don't become one of those bratty confident girls. Use your confidence wisely. No one likes a brat.

Be yourself! Even if you like someone that is almost completely different from you, always remember; you are who you truly are, not some snobby girl that thinks she is better than everyone, but a nice beautiful girl that everyone wants to talk to.
- If the other person doesn't like you for who you are, you're better off without them.

Be a conversation starter. Even before dressing up into cool clothes, start a simple conversation with your crush.
Become friends! Once they know that you aren't scared to talk to them, they will for sure talk to you more often! So talk to them about random things that pop up into your mind, or maybe even share friends and hang out with each other during free time.
You can try Aeropostale or Hollister. Maybe you're an athletic girl, so try Coach or Lululemon. But if your family can't afford those clothes or maybe you don't have enough allowance, then try The Bay or Walmart. Those aren't bad either! But make sure to dress up the way you like it and clothes that represent who you truly are. If none of these stores are available to you, don't worry. Buy things you enjoy wearing.
Discover one evening how you look without your plain ponytail or your hair let down! Maybe you can curl or straighten your hair to give it a twist. Or maybe you want to try a French braid or a side ponytail. Whatever you like, you may try! No one's stopping you. People are attracted to girls who try new things and don't stick with the same old, boring routine.
Virtually anyone can get body odor, so put on some deodorant or antiperspirant every morning before school. Use a perfume or eau de toilette too if you like. Products that prevent body odor are especially important if you're an athletic girl or you have physical education that day. Brush your teeth twice a day to make your smile white and bright. Maybe after lunch at school, grab a piece of mint gum or a breath mint if you had tuna. That will help a lot! If you have some perfume or body mist, you may spray some in the morning too! Guys especially love to smell girls, so enjoy that!
Smile at them. When you smile and they notice that will make a special connection between you two. Smiling can make any girl look pretty and attractive. Happy girls are pretty girls!
Enter a talent show. If you have a hidden talent like singing, acting or playing an instrument then sign up for your upcoming school talent show! But if you are too shy to go up there in front of the whole school, then pull them into a corner one day or invite them over to your house to show them your hidden talent privately.

They may smile at you a lot and make lots of eye contact. They might also find excuses to talk to you or hang out around you. Leaning close or brushing up against you while you’re together is also a sign of attraction. The best way to find out for sure is to ask!

You’ll eventually have to talk to them if you want to really get to know each other. However, you can try to catch your crush’s eye by dressing nicely, acting friendly and confident, and being your best self when you’re around them! Be kind to others, stand up straight, smile at them, and make eye contact when they look your way.

You can’t really make someone fall in love with you. However, you can improve your chances by being friendly with them, taking a genuine interest in them, and acting confident, kind, and respectful. Dress in clothes that flatter you and make you feel confident, and take care of your hygiene so you look and smell your best. Try to spend time with them one-on-one so you can really get to know each other!

Don't try too hard. If you do, the person might think you're desperate.

Let them be free, don't be mad when they flirt with other girls because if you guys aren't dating then you can't get mad at that.

Warnings

It's possible to learn to love someone over time, but it's not really possible (or a good idea) to force yourself to feel something you don't.
