   Be a good listener. Nod, make eye contact, and stay focused on what a girl is talking to you about. Try to understand her emotions and point of view. Imagine how she feels as she speaks, and react accordingly.

   • Everyone wants to be seen, heard, and accepted for who they are. If you show a girl that you are genuinely interested in what she loves and want to learn more about it, she will truly feel like you care about her.
   • In future interactions with the girl, incorporate the information she shared in your conversations. This will help show you were paying attention when she spoke about it.
