To find a girlfriend, try joining a new club or after-school class where you can meet lots of new girls with similar interests, such as film club or a drama group. Alternatively, join an online dating website or app to find girls who are looking for relationships. When you approach a girl for the first time, try to be friendly and make lighthearted jokes to keep things casual. Don’t be afraid to give her a compliment or two to make her feel good. For example, you can say something like, “You made some really smart points in class today.” Most of all, try to be yourself, since you want to find a girlfriend who likes you for who you really are.
