If being yourself worked you'd have lots of girls. You got to fix yourself up. The thing is you got to not get nervous. When you ask her out you have to have the confidence in yourself. Ask her out and if she say no, screw her (don't actually screw her but in a figurtive meaning). There are over 6 billion girls in the world. At least one will say yes. Good luck with her. By the way make sure you smell good and your breath doesn't stink. No girl will kiss a guy with stank breath.

If you aren't going to be yourself and do attract a girl, one of these days she'll find out that you aren't the person you pretended to be. Not a good idea. Now, you do want to be the best version of yourself you can be. Dress nice, smell nice, be polite, etc.

Keep trying and asking. Just be honest about who you are. It helps if you can become a little acquainted before you actually ask for a date. Be interested in who she is, not just her appearance. If you're slightly awkward, the right girl will think it's endearing. Even if you have to go, "Hey, I know this seems (random/awkward/sudden, etc.) but I'd really like to get to know you better. Would you like to (fill in the blank with dinner, etc.). If she turns her nose up at you and is rude, you don't want that anyway. There are plenty of girls around that wish they'd get asked out more.

What always gets my attention is how a guy interacts with other people, even ones that he isn't interested in. Is he rude to the waiter? Does he go out of his way to hold the door open for people? Is he patient with people that are being annoying? These are things I notice. Good luck!

Keep a pack of gum on ya. Seriously, though Be yourself. No matter how much you don't wanna hear that, it's the truth. It's better than being someone you're not, then having some girl find out, get cheesed off at you then call you a string of bad words; that you definitely don't wanna hear.

 

Firstly, I personally like someone to talk to. Conversation and communication is everything. Be ready to talk about the most random things, be honest, and most of all be willing to voice your opinion. If you wanna go ask a girl on a date, be sure to: Smell nice, smile, be polite and have gum/mints/tictacs/etc.Don't beat around the bush! If you have something to say, just come out with it.

 

And if you get knocked down, really don't worry so much. There is someone out there for everyone. It might just take a few tries to find the right on. ^^

 

This already sounds like the stuff above.(XD A TREND!)

  First off, my advice (due to experience) is that you shouldn't really go looking for someone to date. You'll know when you find someone.  I would strongly advise you not to get to caught up in dating especially if you're under 16.

 

 But, if you're serious about your question and think you're ready to date, I would suggest buying this book --> http://www.amazon.com/Young-Men-Only-Guide-Gender/dp/160142020X/ref...     

 

 It's an excellent book (I've read it),  and it gives you information that you never would have thought of. These people really know what they're talking about.  So I implore you to consider that.

 

 Thanks.

That's an excellent book, Drew.

Now that I've thought about this, I realize that I should clarify that my advice is coming from someone who is post high school and college, so if you're still in high school, I wouldn't be too caught up in it all there. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not dating in high school. Every one that age is still maturing (i.e. immature) and it's really best to just try and develop some really good friendships. Once you know how to do that, it'll be easier to have a dating relationship later.

Don't sweat it!  Lots of people never date in HS.  I didn't until the last semester of my senior year, and my first gf and I are still in touch on FaceBook!  Don't judge yourself by how others judge you, or compare yourself with them.  All the advice above seems really good, especially from the ladies.  Take it to heart, but just be laid-back about it all.  I know that is hard to do, but girls generally are less attracted to guys who seem "desperate."

 

Above all, just keep trying, you will find just the right girl, she might even be sitting in an art class right next to you like my first gf was!
