Hey Seddit!

I live in a city where there are a larger number of guys than girls. I seem to be good with girls one on one, but when there are a bunch of guys competing for a girl's attention I can never seem to be the guy that wins.

Personally, I think I have a natural tendency to avoid attention to myself in crowds. I want to overcome this. What are some things I can do to stand out in a crowd, being the funniest/smartest/boldest or whatever it takes to be noticed? Any missions or exercises or any ways I can practice?

Once I have people's attention, how do I hold it?
