Increase your chances of landing a hot date by learning how to feel more confident around women. A guy who is confident around women may often find that women are more drawn to him. A confident man usually gets more dates than a guy who stares at his shoes and barely has the guts to ask a girl out. Let the ladies know you're cool and available by acting confident around them.

  1. Remember your good qualities. You may not be the most attractive man, but you're funny or incredibly smart. Maybe you have great hair or really good fashion sense. Remember these qualities when you think about approaching a woman. Instead of saying to yourself, "Why would she go out with me?" feel more confident by reminding yourself that a woman would go out with you because you are funny/smart/have great hair.
  2. Build confidence by gaining experience. The best way to feel more confident around women is to interact with a lot of women. Guys who have a lot of sisters or female relatives may have a leg up here. Spend a lot of time around women in a non-romantic, non-sexual way and odds are you'll feel more confident around them when you do want to ask one of them out.
  3. Learn what works. If you compliment a woman's shoes and that makes her happy, try complimenting every woman's shoes. If you have an enjoyable date at restaurant, try taking other dates there. When you do things over and over again, you become comfortable doing them. Being comfortable is a great way to feel more confident around women.
  4. Take a leap. Once you've become confident around women, one or two may still throw you for a loop because they are particularly pretty or seem out of your league. Ask them out any way. The worst that could happen is they say, "No" or they say, "Yes" and you have a terrible date. But you'll never know unless you ask.
