How to Get a Boyfriend

By Carrie Yun

Consider the fact that November 11 is Remembrance Day in Canada, and that is Pepero day in Korea, on which Pepero cookies (in Canada, it is called Pocky) are exchanged between lovers. People who are single don’t like this season, from November to December, because when Pepero day is finished, that means that Christmas and New Year’s Day are coming. Nobody wants to spend time with just their friends in these special times. There are many people, especially girls, who want to get their sweetheart, but girls usually think it is too difficult to get a boyfriend because if a boy doesn’t ask for a date first, they don’t want to ask no matter how good he is. However, getting boyfriend is so easy if you follow three major steps.

First of all, before you try to meet a nice boy, it is important how you appear. Boys like a gorgeous lady as girls like a handsome and cute boy. Lose your weight if you think you need to and dress up clearly. In addition, before you go out to meet someone, practice a tender smile although you feel somewhat awkward. If you smile sweetly and dress up stylishly, people will pay attention to your beautiful looks. However, if you make up your face too much, boys will think it would be difficult to ask you. Also, make your own sweet smell instead of a perfume which makes people hesitant to approach to you. Even if you are not prettier than others, you don’t need to get a plastic operation and buy expensive clothes. You need to show your own charm.

Second, just staying home, you will never get a boyfriend. If you have done the first step, you should try to meet and make many friends. Meeting people is not as difficult as you think. These are places that you can meet many people: schools especially in the class, part time jobs, hobby clubs, and online. Class mates or job friends could be people who spend a long time with you. As you are with them, you can have a lot of talk and help each other when it is needed. Taking part in a hobby club is also good for meeting people because there are many people who have the same hobby as you. Make as many friends as you can, and show your great personality and gorgeous appearance. Lots of good boys would fall in love with you. Moreover, even if a friend would not be your sweet heart, he can introduce his good friend to you, like a blind date.

Finally, if you meet the perfect person who you really wanted to meet, things you do when you are with him are very important. Don’t be afraid to ask for a date or phone number before he does. Even though you feel little shy, the man will be very happy if you ask for those first. When you have supper with him, don’t eat too much, but try not to have an unbalanced diet. In addition, you had better listen to his chat than talk continuously and brag about what you have. Let him feel comfortable while he is talking. When you talk, speak kindly and clearly, and you must not say bad words. Sometimes, drinking with him would be a good way if you are stuck for words because drinking helps people feel relaxed. However, don’t forget you should not drink too much if you don’t want to look a heavy drinker.

These three steps are useful suggestions when you want to meet a boyfriend. Before showing your attraction, you should realize you are really a gorgeous person. If you have thought that you are not, there would be one more step that suggests “love yourself first.” From this Christmas, I wish all people of the world would fall in love and love each other. If they do, the world would be full of a rosy color.
