How to Get a Boy to Like You

How to get a guy to like you:

One, always dress your best

Two, always act confident..

even if you aren't (why should

it matter if you aren’t if you can 

fake it?)

Three, if he wants to touch you,

let him

Physical contact is the most important 

thing in differentiating a friendship

from something more

Four, wear perfume,

appeal to his senses

Five, talk about HIS interests,

nothing is more important 

than what HE likes

When I was younger, 

these articles were my bible

They taught me to bow down to boys 

like they were my God

To do what they wanted,

they were always right 

That my own worth,

was based on how much

they valued me

And that in every aspect of life (or 

what they taught me life was),

I was failing 

Those articles never told me 

“Be Yourself”

“Don’t change a thing”

“You are enough”

That is what I really needed to hear

I wish I hadn’t placed my value

on some boys who didn’t even know 

what they wanted

I was waiting to be loved

By people who didn’t know what love was

I didn’t understand that being myself

Was the best thing I could do

But now I do

And I am so much happier

Because of it.
