There are all of these do’s and don’ts when it comes to trying to get a woman to talk to you, or for even just approaching her. It’s almost to the point where you’re going to need a handbook just to keep track. Forget all of that. There is something that you naturally do that will make any woman want to get to know you: smile. It’s seriously the easiest thing to do and will get you so far it’s ridiculous. Don’t believe it?

You’re Going to Look Confident

As long as you keep your smile natural and far away from a crazed axe murderer’s kind, you’re going to look happy. Happy people feel invincible and don’t worry about things that the rest of us do. When you give a genuine smile, she’s going to believe all of those things about you too. Plus, you’re going to look like you have one freaking awesome secret that keeps you so happy. People are attracted to those who smile and look like they’re having a good time. She’s going to want to know just what it is that you’re so happy about.

Smiling Changes Other People’s Moods

If she’s been pissy all night and throwing off guys left and right, smile before you even approach her. Not a sly, cocky smile, but just one that says, “Hi, I’m here and I’m stoked.” In the same way that yawning is contagious, so is smiling. It sounds so corny to say, but it’s true.

You’re Going to Look Carefree

Stress shows on the face (obviously) and can make you look really tired or bland. A smile irons out those bags and wrinkles from all of our late nights and early mornings. Even if you have to fake it at first, eventually you’ll start to believe yourself and get on board with the idea of having a good night.

It Does Awesome Things for Your Face

If you’ve ever wanted a face lift or even just felt that you’ve got some flab or sag in your jaw line that you don’t want, don’t spend all of that money to get surgery. Just smile. The muscles that you use to smile (about 20 of them) are also the same muscles that pull at the jaw line and hairline to make your face more angular. Men differ from women in many ways, but the angles of our faces and jaws are what make us sexy since women don’t have them. Show them off by smiling.

You’ll Be More Positive

Let’s say that you’re just trying to get the nerve up and get some positive energy going before you talk to her in the first place. Smiling will make you feel good about whatever is going on. There are some people that say it’s akin to smiling while hunching over and trying to feel sad. It just ends up making you feel silly and laugh. The same can be applied to your game when you approach your girl for the night. Give it a try and you’ll be a lot less nervous going in.
