Is it really true? Can you really be more attractive to other people just by changing your habits? Can you change the way you act or dress so that people will notice and like you more? Sure, there are lots of things that can help, but these 15 tried-and-true methods should be at the top of your list. We’re not talking about superficial things like makeup tricks or clothes shopping guides which cost money. These are all simple changes that require zero cash and zero time commitment.

1. Smile!

Winking doesn’t work in real life. Seriously, it’s weird and creepy. It might be effective in online dating, but that’s about it. Instead, focus on smiling genuinely at other people. If you see someone you like at the store, try saying hello and asking how their day is going or what they think about the latest fashion phenomenon. Keep in mind that not all people like being approached by strangers, so if they ignore your greeting or look uncomfortable, don’t worry about it. Just move on to the next person and use your smile to brighten their day instead.

2. Look them in the eyes

It’s said that eye contact is an "unspoken language" and when done correctly, it can make you look more approachable. Not only is maintaining eye contact good for your health, but it will make you look more attractive to everyone around you. Why? It indicates that you are confident and self-assured enough to be in their presence.

3. Smile on the inside!

Smiling doesn’t have to be about looking like a cartoon character or thinking about fun things to do on weekends. Smile on the inside and you’ll be more attractive to everyone around you. Seriously, a smile on the inside can be more powerful than one on the outside. When you’re happy and optimistic, it affects everyone around you. And when they feel your positivity, it makes them want to see even more of your smiling face!

4. Be mindful

What do I mean by ‘be mindful’? Simply put, pay attention to what is going on around you. Not only will this make you more receptive to new ideas and opportunities, but it will also make other people respect your right to be silent if that is what your spirit craves at the moment. Mindfulness is the perfect way to show that you are okay with yourself and those around you. It’s also a great way to be more attractive!

5. Be gentle with yourself and others

Did you know that making fun of ourselves is actually a sign of self-love? If a friend made a joke at your expense, it would be weird if you didn’t laugh along. And if someone else walked into the room and joined in, it would be even stranger if you remained serious.

What’s so important about this is that it shows others that they can trust you with their own self-doubt and insecurities. Their willingness to share this with you shows that they are comfortable around you and that you are a safe person to be around.

6. Walk tall

Walking tall is a sign of confidence which makes people want to approach and talk to you. It’s not about looking tougher than anyone else or even showing that you think you’re better than everyone else. It’s about knowing what it is that has made you into the amazing person that you are today and remembering that, when someone looks at you, they should admire how great your ideas are, how nice your personality is, how successful your life has been (or will be). Walking tall is a sign that you are confident and proud of who you are.

7. Be kind to the universe

It may seem too inane and corny, but heeding the advice of the ancient fengshui masters can help you attract more people to you. If people think that you’re off-putting and undesirable, your insecurities won’t be any better than theirs. So use this simple tip to help you make those around you feel safe and welcome. It’s not only better for them, but it will make you feel better about yourself as well. And when it comes to attracting other people, what could be more important?

8. Speak up

Sometimes the best way to be heard is to speak up. If people don’t feel like talking to you, it could mean that they don’t have anything to say or that they aren’t interested in your idea. So take a chance and listen without judgement or criticism. You never know what you may learn. And when someone shows interest in what you have to say, it shows that they respect you and believe in your ideas too.

9. Be appreciative

If there is one thing people want more than anything else, it is appreciation for who we are and what we do. In a world where everyone is screaming at one another and embittered, those who are kind, loving and appreciative will attract people who want to be around them more than anyone else.

If you think of someone you like in your life, always remember to thank them for all they’ve done for you. Whether it was when they bought you lunch or if they picked up your socks off the floor, they were always there making your life a little bit easier. And that keeps people coming back to you!

10. Don’t be afraid to ask for help

Being assertive and confident requires us to be willing to ask for help when we need it, but not before. It may seem like you’re vulnerable, but people won’t think about you being weak (or a coward) if you ask for help. At the end of the day, all they see is that you are trying your best and that alone shows that you have confidence in yourself..

This means that people will feel more comfortable approaching you with their problems and troubles because they know that you won’t judge them. And that builds trust and respect. So go ahead and ask for help, but remember to be prepared for what you might learn about yourself or about others!

11. Be clear and direct

There is nothing as attractive as someone who can keep a short conversation going with a stranger or a colleague. Being direct shows that you have what it takes to be straightforward and honest instead of holding back your real feelings from those around you. So talk to people about what’s on your mind, especially if you think they may be interested in it too.

12. Make an effort!

When people are ready to give up on life, they don’t want to hear about how bad things are for everyone else. They want to see that a few others still believe that life has something great in store for them. By making an effort and being optimistic, you show the world that it is worth working hard and making your dreams come true.

13. Show them the positive side of yourself

It can be hard to find the good in someone who is surrounded by negativity, but it can make a huge difference in their lives. If you get the chance to spend time with someone who is not putting on a front, tell them about your good moments. Ask them how it is that they have managed to find the time to be so nice and personable towards everyone. And then tell them about times when you thought you had nothing good about yourself, but then realized that there was always something that could be fixed. Show them what a great person they are!

14. Accept others

If people have nothing positive to say, it can make some of us feel bad and like we don’t know how to interact with others or even how to talk. By accepting people for what they are, you show them that you have an open mind. People who act like this are more likely to come to you if they need help or advice.

15. Set yourself up for success

Look at the people around you and learn from them. See how they talk to others and what it is that makes them want to speak with complete strangers or people that they don’t know very well. And pay attention when someone is speaking with someone that you want to attract as well. See how they are leaning forward, standing close to the person and smiling.

Finally

A person who is confident doesn’t need anyone to tell them that they’re better than everyone else. They don’t think of themselves as better than anyone else, but that’s because they are secure in who they are and what they believe in. A person who is confident knows who he is and what he has to offer. And by being confident and open about who you are, you can attract the people that you want to be around because they feel at ease talking with you.

Being confident is not something that somebody else can make for us or give to us, especially when we’re already filled with negative energy and insecurities. It’s something we have to work on every day. But like anything else in life, we get out what we put in. You will get back what you give out in life too.
