What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
If you talk to no one in the group of people around you, it's gonna be pretty hard to open yourself up to this boy. Start by befriending the other people around you. This is good for a few reasons:  He'll see you talking to those around you. This makes you look friendly, fun, and sociable. It'll also make you seem more approachable. He may be friends with the people you're talking to. This is a natural bridge to get you two talking to each other. When you talk to everyone, it's only natural that you would start talking to him, too. This makes it look as if you don't have any secret intentions, masking any potential feelings you may not want to slip out. The more you get out in to the world and socialize and talk to people, the easier it will become with anyone and everyone. If you only string two words together biannually, you're probably going to be pretty rusty and awkward. And that's normal – no one was born a Casanova – we all learn it. We are all social animals and tend to pick up this stuff pretty quickly one we get out there and try – and the same goes for you! It'll be hard at first, but with each time it'll get easier and easier. This is why you start with the people around you you aren't interested in – to warm you and your skills up for that special boy. . If you are smiling and look willing and eager to talk to people, then you are inevitably going to meet them. If you are standoffish or don't add to the conversation at all (like being obsessed with your phone), others will likely move past you, thinking you don't want to talk. Keep your head up and your mind involved and interested in your surroundings. If you're in the same place, you'll be sharing similar experiences, and it'll give you something to talk about. Imagine this scenario: you're at your after-school club and a whole bunch of you are around a table snacking. A mutual friend cracks a joke and you all laugh and laugh. Later, you two are leaving the parking lot together, and you reference that joke. You share a laugh and it breaks the ice – and you're in. Have your hair combed and styled, clothes clean, and have a pleasant scent, too. You probably wouldn't be too crazy about this boy if he looked like he dug himself out of the garbage, right? The same goes for him. To be approachable physically, you've got to look your best. Wear an outfit that makes you feel confident, put on your favorite gloss and a smile, and you'll be ready. The initial way to get boy's attention will be physically. That's just how it works. Always put your best foot forward – put some effort into your look and you may catch his eye. But that being said, don't go overboard – trying too hard is also a turn-off. It'll be obvious if you're pretending you're something you're not, so always stick to your instincts. Don't dismiss yourself or other people – everyone has value, including you. With this attitude, it'll be clear you're friendly and interested in everyone. Why wouldn't he want to get to know you a little better? With your eye contact skills and that beautiful smile, he'd surely want to at least have a conversation or two. A positive attitude will help good things happen; a negative attitude will keep them from happening. Even if it turns out he's not interested in you, it'll be okay. What if he says no? This is a painful lesson that takes many of us way too many years to learn. If he says no, be happy. You have no idea how many years wondering what might have been he has just saved you. He has now completely freed you up to approach your second favorite man in the whole world. Score. Many guys will be nervous about talking to a girl, and keep that in the mind when you're working up your own confidence. He's the one that needs the push, so just add a bit of eye contact or a friendly smile as an invitation for the guy to start a conversation or to see that a conversation with you isn't scary. This is a good way to give yourself that little nudge to talk to him. When you realize that he's nervous and insecure and probably thinks you're not interested in him even as a friend, it'll help urge you on to making that nice gesture of friendship.
Open up to the people around you. Practice being social with others. Make yourself approachable Maintain good hygiene. Be open minded. Realize that he's probably more nervous than you are.
