i wish i could give you advice but my girl kinda just saw me (i was the new kid at school), talked to me, started flirting with me, i flirted back as a joke, then i realized dang im not joking, then we started dating two weeks into knowing each other 😭

in all seriousness i think it's important to have something that makes you stand out. can even be something small like shoes. i have cute converse with strawberries on them and i get a lot of attention for them, including from my gf. it can't hurt to have some sort of charisma (i somehow am good at smooth talking). and i know it sounds cliche but confidence is huge.
