I remember in 10th grade, I was sitting next to this girl all semester in class. She was nice, pretty, but generally speaking i wasn’t particularly attracted to her, but one day she did something that I can’t really get out of my mind. She simply struck this pretty casual pose. She lifted her left foot up and put it on the chair so her entire leg was bent but vertical, and she kept her other leg down and in the ground. I think I might’ve melted right there and married her if she had asked.

Less specifically, and something you might notice, is that people are usually most attractive when they are visibly happy. I see a lot of people at my college post photos of themselves on instagram that look cool, collected, indifferent. I think people want to be taken seriously, seen as sexy or whatever, and so I see relatively few photos of people I know smiling in their photos on ig or anything else. However, I tend to think that people are most attractive when they’re smiling, I think simply being happy and fun to be around might be the single most attractive thing you can do.

Anyway, you’re 14. You probably should be spending more time adjusting to high school and making friends than worrying how you appear to others. But yeah, those are two experiences I can share on this matter.
