3
Smell good. Use a light body spray or oil on your wrists, behind your ears, on your chest, and behind your knees.

Method 2

Method 2 of 2:

Get Ready

1
Put on just a little make-up. Whatever you feel highlights your best features, be it a little mascara, some lipgloss, or a bit of blush. Don't overdo it - you want him to see you, not what you're wearing. Or rock the natural look.^{[4]

2
Fix your hair. You want your hair to be soft and flowing, not stiff and full of hair product. It doesn't have to be fancy, just make sure to brush it so you (or he) can get your fingers through it and it's not in your face.^{[5]

3
Get dressed. Choose an outfit that is sexy but not too revealing. You want to be comfortable and not concerned about your skirt riding up or your shirt falling down.^{[6]

4
Accessorize. Put on a pair of earrings or paint your nails if this makes you feel good. Don't do anything that you wouldn't normally be comfortable with, and avoid jewelry that is too large or heavy or extreme polish colors.
5
Double check. Is there food in your teeth? Do you feel well? You don't want to be distracted or cranky if your mind is on something else or you're tired, so make sure you're in the mood.

Question

Why do I need a boy in my life?

Community Answer

You don't NEED a boy in your life. But some people want a boy in their life. If you don't, that's great. Just be yourself and don't worry about anything else!
Question

What do I need to do if I like a boy?

Community Answer

Talk to him! If you're not already friends, get to know him better and see if you still like him. If you do, tell him how you feel!
Question

How do I smell good when I don't have any perfume?

Community Answer

Use scented lotion and scented bathing materials if you want to have a nice scent. Otherwise, all you really need to do is use soap in the shower and wear deodorant if you tend to sweat a lot.

Warnings

Don't overdo anything. You don't want to overdress or wear too much makeup or perfume.^{[9]
