Hey. So I'd say throughout my entire high school career, I have been known as the "good girl". I study, get good grades, I don't drink or smoke or do drugs, and I have never had a boyfriend. I don't mind being a "good girl", but next year I'll be going to college and it's getting really old. I guess to be blunt, I want a boyfriend. Or at least a hookup/ summer fling kind of thing. The problem is that I can be really shy around guys, especially cute guys;) I need some flirting tips. So... Girls: what works for you? Guys: what can a girl say or do to make you interested? Haha. Thanks everyone for your help!

It depends on what kind of guys you're into. Finding a common ground really helps to break the ice.
I'm a huge geek and gamer, and luckily the kind of guys I am attracted to are also geeks and gamers, so it's easy to strike up a conversation. If I see a guy wearing a video game or comic shirt or hat, I'll comment on it and usually he'll smile and we'll talk a bit, as he's rather impressed with my interest in nerdy stuff. :) I also love sports and will comment on the game playing in the bar and that will get the ball rolling.

Eye contact is incredibly important, as is body language. I completely understand about being shy, but have you heard of that saying 'Fake it until you make it"? Give off confidence and be outgoing, now matter how challenging it is, and sooner or later it'll become incredibly easy.
Being confident in herself is one of the sexiest things a woman can do. Most of the men I know also love love love ladies with a brain. Don't dumb yourself down to get a guy. Intelligence is sexy.

Good luck!
