Moving from nerd to popular

[samiam]

That's a tough one, since you go to an all-guys school. It's still doable though, all you really have to do is start to make friends with the guys that do hang out with girls and move on from there. It may seem weird to start hanging out with them, but as long as you know a few of the guys relatively well and you're not a total tool no one's going to mind if you tag along. Once you start to hang out with them more you'll get more into the group, and eventually you'll be as popular as you wanted to be. It's definitely possible to make a dramatic change, I know this from experience, because I basically had no friends until last year, and now I'm at the top of my social group and getting girls.

Once you're good with all the guys, then you should already be in a decent position with the girls. Start hanging out with the guys that hang out with girls and you'll start making friends that are girls, and that's really the most important thing.

Being yourself is nice to a extent, just filter the dorky nerdy things out majority.

Being popular is just having high value.\

But I'll dumb it down since it might sound confusing that way.

When you look at a popular guy, people want to be around him. Why?

Because hes funny
He dresses nice
Hes fun to be around
Hes smart
The right social choices

I think being a good coversational person beats about everything if you can be attractive too. All the 11th Graders look up to me now since I flirt with every girl. My group of friends are the top dogs in school, because we share humor in common and the same love for girls.

Find common ground.

You need to raise your confidence if you want to hang out with girls. Just sit with them one day and start chatting them up. I suggest adding people on AIM and MSN and possibly Facebook so they can help your personal image if needed.

Depends on your style, I can help here but you have to let us know what you are comfortable wearing and your current getup...

ok it starts with being funny in class. maybe the guys in class arent as fond of u, but humor will make them want you to hang out with them. and when u hang out with popular guys most likely the girls down the block will follow. so, clown the teacher, be sarcastic, and try to make the whole class laugh. and im almost certain by the end of the year you will see a drastic change.

First you gotta love your self man, thats the first step. No one will love you, if you dont love yourself. Then make sure you give value to other people, because YOU WANT TO. Not because you want to get their validation.

Also about "popular guys", in high school its just about their social proof really. Not how they look or what ever
