Q: Being nice may make you less intimidating to your popular guy. At the very least, it will give him a favorable impression of you. Even if he isn't interested or available now, he will remember you for being nice later when he is available. This means that you should smile at him, ask him questions about himself, and treat him how you would treat your friends or how you would like other people to treat you. Make sure that you show him a little attention when you see him in class. Try to sit next to him in class so it's easier to make eye contact and start a conversation if you have some free time. You can also try talking to him during lunch or on your breaks between classes. If you want to grab his attention, you should try to show him that you have some things in common. Whether it be hobbies, sports, future goals, or personality quirks, finding commonalities can help you relate to your popular guy. Tell him about a concert you went to if he really likes music. Discuss the season finale of his favorite show. A great way to make your popular guy want you is to always leave him wanting more. You don't want him to get sick of you or to feel like you are too available. Don't overstay your welcome if you're hanging out together. Give him a chance to wish you had stayed longer. On occasion, cut conversations short and act like you have somewhere else you have to be. This makes you look busy, desirable, and not at all desperate. Remember that after rejection, that it's not the end of the world. Don't go crying and begging for him to take you. The guy will probably get annoyed or embarrassed. Give him a space for a couple of weeks, then consider trying again. Don't keep going after him forever. If he rejects you outright, consider moving on to find someone else who is more interested. You never know if another cute guy out there is attracted to you! If you want to draw the attention of a popular guy, you'll need some confidence and support. Create a circle of friends who love you for your unique personality and this will give you the confidence to be yourself in all situations. People are drawn to those who are clearly comfortable in their own skin. Having friends who love and support you will help you build this kind of confidence.
A: Be friendly. Talk to him in class. Connect with his interests. Leave him wanting more. Be gentle, but persistent. Surround yourself with people who value you.

Q: Most people at the festival will have a themed outfit and makeup. Plan your outfits ahead of time so you know what to wear, and apply face makeup and body glitter to take your look to the next level. At these events, most people go all out with their looks, so don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone! For example, at Coachella festival, people tend to dress more in hippie-style clothing. If you want to dress up, you might wear a long, flowing dress if you like the feminine style. For a more masculine look, stick to light-colored pants or shorts and a plain t-shirt to stay cool. Depending on the location and weather, you might want to bring a bandana to tie around your face to protect you from dirt or sand that gets kicked up from people walking around. Most festivals have a schedule of events with the times and locations included for each performance. Pick 1-3 shows that you want to see each day, and mark where they are on the map of the grounds so you can plan your route between shows. If you know that a band you want to see is on early in the day, leave plenty of time to get to the site and find the right stage, as the lines can be extremely long to enter the venue. Keep in mind that in larger venues, it can take 30-45 minutes to walk from one stage to another. If you're going with a group of friends, you'll likely all have different interests. Try not to be upset or hurt if you can't do something that you want to do. Before you arrive at the venue, decide which events are "musts" and which are "maybes" for you, and be ready to compromise. With large festivals, it's almost impossible to do and see everything in the few days you're there. Stick to 1-3 music shows per day and try to fit in 1-2 other activities, like visiting the vendor tents or getting a snack from a food truck. If your favorite band or singer is going to be at the festival, go to the stage where they're playing as early as possible to get to the front of the "pit" section, which is the standing area at the front of the stage. Aim to get a spot along the barrier, or a little bit back from the stage if you aren't the first person there. Go to an area where no one is standing yet, and feel free to make new friends as you sing and dance along to the music. Each seating or standing area has different perks, so don't be afraid to move toward the back of the crowd if you feel unsafe in the pit. In the back of the crowd, you'll have more space to move around and won't be surrounded by as many people. If you happen to be standing behind someone who's taller than you, politely ask them if they could shift over so you can see. If they won't or can't, try not to get upset, and look for a different place where you can stand. Depending on the location, some vendors might only accept cash or 1 other type of payment, like a debit card or money transferring app. Keep $20-40 in your bag or pocket throughout the event in case you need to buy a snack, get a drink, or see a little souvenir that you want. If you come across something more expensive that you want, most festivals have ATMs. During shows and performances, it's usually acceptable to have your phone out to take pictures. For the most enjoyment, try to stick to taking pictures or recording the performance only for the first song or so. Then, you can put your phone or camera away and dance to the music! In general, it's best to leave your phone in your bag or pocket after the first song if you're in the pit, since it can be crowded and people might not be able to see if you hold your phone up. Some bands or singers will encourage you to take your phone out and turn on the flashlight during slow songs for a sort of mini light show.
A: Find pictures of the festival online and try to match festival goers' outfits. Look at the schedule and map online to find events you're interested in. Be ready to change some of your plans at the last minute. Arrive early to be at the front of the crowd for your favorite performances. Carry cash to purchase food, drinks, and merchandise. Take pictures and record videos throughout the festival.
