10 Ways To Guarantee You'll Get The Girl's Number

Be confident, but don't be overly confident.

Forget Tinder, Bumble, and other matchmaking apps, it's time for us guys to swallow our nerves and approach girls in person. Granted, it is very nerve-racking to try and get a girls number, and a lot of guys don't know how to act in this situation or even where to begin.

But with these 10 simple rules to abide by, it will become a breeze!

Always look fresh!

First impressions are everything, so you should always be looking as sharp as possible. Girls will feel much more comfortable talking to you and find you more attractive if you have good hygiene (hair groomed, smelling good, etc.) and are dressed well.

Stay calm, cool, and collected

It is obvious if someone is nervous and most of the time it is also not attractive. Most likely you will be nervous, but do your best not to appear that way on the outside.

The art of communication

All that is needed is two to three minutes of fluent conversation. You are in control of the topic since you are approaching her! Find a talking point such as complimenting her outfit, talking about a class you may have together, etc. Whatever it may be, make sure it is something you can engage in. Do not talk too much, listen to what she has to say and make her feel valued. If the conversation is flowing and you feel a connection, go for it and get them digits.

Be okay with rejection

If you do ask for her number and she turns you down or has a BF, it's no big deal. This just means she was not the right one for you! If this happens, end the conversation with something along the lines of "No problem. Either way, I really enjoyed talking to you. I'll see you around sometime! :)"

Read the situation

If you are talking to a girl and the conversation isn't flowing do not ask for her number. If you don't feel it, she definitely doesn't.

Confidence

You have a lot to offer and you should know your worth. Be sure of yourself and carry yourself with pride.

Don't be too aggressive

Don't come off too strongly! This goes hand and hand with confidence. Be confident, but don't be overly confident, this could come off as arrogant or cocky.

Be sincere

Be true to yourself! Don't try and act like what you think she wants. Show off your personality and be genuine.

Personal space

Do not breach any boundaries. Not everyone is comfortable with being touched, especially not by some stranger they just met. To be on the safe side, give her her space. #strangerdanger

Be respectful

Not only when talking to girls, but when talking to anyone, always treat people with respect. Be kind and use the manners we all should have!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
