Article: You don't want to change who you are just to get the attention of a guy, especially if it means pretending to love Star Wars or talking about a band you can't stand for hours. Talk about your favorite TV shows, a great movie you just saw, the hobby you most care about, or really any of the things you care about, and guys will be drawn to your passion. Think about it as not being different from talking to your girlfriends about everyday things except that you can avoid talking about the guys you like! The subject of your conversation is less important than making sure that you and the guys you talk to maintain a fair balance between talking and listening. Try not to dominate any conversation and leave room for other people to talk. If you're talking to a guy one-on-one, try not to do more than about half the talking. Though it's important to feel comfortable actually talking about the things that matter to you, you should also be able to get a sense of when a guy is starting to lose interest. If you've been talking about your horse for twenty minutes and you see the guy shifting on his feet, checking his phone, or looking around for a friend who can give him a save, then you can shift subjects by asking him a question instead. Learn to read body language and facial expressions to see whether or not a guy is listening to you. If he's listening, he'll be making eye contact (unless he's super shy or has a crush on you!), and turning his body toward you instead of away. One thing you can do is to offer a subtle compliment to a guy from time to time. You don't have to tell him he has the world's most beautiful eyes or that he's a big hunk, but you can compliment a new shirt the guy is wearing, tell him he did great in yesterday's basketball game, or just make a kind, lighthearted comment that lets the guy know you care. You don't have to actually have a crush on the guy to give him a compliment, either. You can say something like, "You're so good at chemistry. How do you do it?" Or, "You have such a unique laugh. I could tell it was you from the other side of the hall." If you want to have a good time hanging out with guys, then you should ask them about themselves from time to time without interrogating them. You can get to know them little by little and show that you care about the things that matter to them. You don't need to interview them, but you should ask them a question or two in the course of a conversation. Here are some things you can ask them about to show them you care: Their favorite bands Their hobbies Their favorite TV shows, movies, or actors Their weekend plans Their pets Guys like girls who don't take themselves too seriously. While it's not attractive to actually put yourself down or to make fun of yourself in a real way, like saying that you're fat, that you're stupid, or that you hate something about yourself, some light humor can show that you're a fun, easygoing person. This is different from bad-mouthing yourself in hopes that someone will give you some attention; just learn to laugh at yourself and the rest of your life will be much easier. For example, you can make a comment like, "Big surprise, I tripped again," or, "I wonder how many more pink sweaters I can wear," to show guys that you're aware of your goofy or endearing qualities while not being committed to perfection.

What is a summary?
Talk about the things that actually interest you. Know when you should change the subject. Compliment them. Ask them questions. Be okay with poking fun at yourself.
