Don't flirt. If you're in the typical school that gets around and it makes it seem like you're desperate. Just be a chill, confident guy who's not afraid to ask girls for their opinions or their help. If you're not an athlete, be in clubs or other activities where you can be involved with girls. The biggest problem guys in high school have is they don't know when a girl is interested in them. If you have enough "friends" who are girls, they'll let you know who those girls are.

I'll add that to flirt often though do it OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL, go to a mall/ beach/ popular hangout spot/ etc near another school and get to know people/ women from that school (plus you'll get added bonus of being that interesting guy from another school if she starts seeing ya)

Pretty much that.
Btw, what mangas you read? 😂

My advice is stop directly chasing girls Cus that just makes you desperate, look at it like “will I like them” instead of the other way around and that mindset will boost your confidence a lot. What helped me was trial and error, you won’t be great right away but eventually you’ll get there. I used to watch some YouTube channels too that helped me alot

Dude the one piece of advise I wish I could give 17 year old me is as simple as it sounds. Shoot the shot and fake it.
Like hey, she might say no, your peers might laugh, but having the balls to laugh back and say something smart not letting them see it matters is the ultimate flex. If you're being social and in a position where somebody may poke fun, have a couple witty responses in the bag and throw it back at them. At the end of the day confidence is all a show, we are all insecure, we all have our doubts, we all fake the ego!

Focus on yourself
Focus on getting more involved socially as you said but in different ways, join some clubs/societies have fun. You are not young forever and dating is a pool of death, have fun and do things for yourself before its too late.
If you are introverted drive your mind in different ways, focus on things that give you extra skills and provide intrigue for the rest of your life. eg: learning an instrument provides you opportunity later in life which is much more valuable than a school fling

You remind me of myself in my highschool days . Well tbh i'm not way older than you. I'm 22 years old. And my friend if there's something that i regret now , it is the fact that i have not played around enough in high school. I'm in college now , high school felt more special idk why. Anyways let's get to the real stuff, when you're on your death bed , you won't be regretting the things you did , you will actually be regretting the things you DID NOT do. So my friend, make it obvious that you like girls , flirt with them when you're talking to them , make flirty eye contact when in a conversation with her , make her feel your energy. Be confident and smooth at the same times. Oh and heads up , you will be getting rejected and you'll make a fool out of yourself no matter what you do. Some girls will think you're smooth , and others will think you're a weirdo. Your job is to distinguish the ones that find you attractive from the ones that do not. Make mistakes , they're the only way to achieve mastery. Good luck.

Just be good at something. Anything. I don’t care if it’s music, sport or computer programming. For every imaginable talent there’s a groupie
[–]Grappleheart 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You should be more outgoing. Join more clubs and meet people. Make sure your interactions with women are natural.
[–]CompetitionFair7686 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You need to tease girls, roast them, be playfully mean without going overboard and you’ll get their attention easily.
then it’s all about flirting when you are alone with one girl. behaving a little bit more sexual with your body language, touching the girl’s hands, telling them they are cute and special,… etc

Be a downright jerk and women will flock. Worked for me in high school.
[–]KabalMain 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Unfortunately ur right, lmao I was such an asshole in high school ESPECIALLY senior year and somehow I would get a new girl that would want to talk to me and flirt with me like every other week

Lmfao good morning mate
[–]KabalMain 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You spelled something wrong the first time my bad, I guess the appeal girls have for you when you are an asshole is it kinda makes you more desirable since you aren’t as “easy”. Also, girls are getting compliments from random dudes/simps all the time, when you don’t treat them like how every dude does that also gives you more appeal.

Literally ignore women, have goals that are not based on women. Go to the gym, study, jog, do art or whatever hoby, and most importantly stay busy. Women will love you.

get tinder, make your profile look good and interesting, and then just spit whatever game you got and if it doesn’t work then learn from it and keep trying, i never had sex until after high school, tinder is honestly good to get good practice for flirting, looking good, and maybe getting a hookup out of it or a date whatever ur looking for there
[–]truthbomb999 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
get tinder
Epic fail. Do not donwload tinder or any other apps.
Go meet women in real life.
Hit the gym, lift, and workout
[–]stevetabernackle88 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
bro just said epic fail, no wonder tinder never worked for u G
[–]truthbomb999 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Sure...it has nothing to do with the algorithm, ratio of men to women, or the general lack of quality people on it?
[–]stevetabernackle88 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
there’s plenty of women on there, and who cares about lack of quality, he wants to gain more confidence and work on his game? i say that’s a great place to start and test the waters
[–]truthbomb999 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
there’s plenty of women on there,
There's like 300% more women... how do you figure that equates to plenty of women?
who cares about lack of quality
People who value their time
? i say that’s a great place to start and test the waters
It's terrible ...it's just going to be abject silence and a waste of time....you must be a women saying this shit
[–]stevetabernackle88 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
i’m a guy who started using tinder the same way lmao, i never got any, never had any game, never was confident in myself until i started to match with girls and it boosted my confidence and i got to work on my game, i’ve been on some dates, yes some hookups, and i’ve made a few friends from tinder too from stuff not working out romantically, it’s honestly a good place to try shit out, even if you don’t take it anywhere further, then you can take it to meeting women in real life, this op is just trying to start out with women and work on his game and his confidence i say it’s a good place to start rather than totally embarrassing yourself to a woman in person and then dropping your confidence back down to the bottom, like i’ve actually done before admittedly

Well, as someone in her 30s, here's some advice that may sound dull to you, but seriously, be yourself. Forget about having "game" because all that really entails are tricks and tactics that aren't authentic to you as you are naturally. It also only/usually attracts people for the short-term, which, as I'm reminded I'm talking to someone far younger than myself, may actually be your endgame versus what it may be for someone older like me. You would have to know what your priorities are.
As for getting invited to more social things, I'm not the best for advice in that area. I go out a lot solely because my boyfriend takes me everywhere lol. I'd look into more hobbies though to meet people which may lead to outings. It's how I made a network of friends just based on things we liked.

Yeah, what @appmanga said, don't show any desperation. Cause later down the line youre gonna have options and that cherries gonna pop.
Also, when guys say be a jerk or a dick, they mean don't give them the girlfriend treatment when theyre not youre girlfriend. And don't be a yes man either.
[–]gangweedsavedme 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Join clubs ur interested in, make genuine connections, making real friends gets so much harder after hs, maybe go for a position in a club, it will force u to learn how to gain people’s favor. As for love, it should come from mutual natural chemistry, don’t ever seek a gf out of thirstiness, and don’t be afraid to love
