Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Step 1: Decide on how close you two are.

    A simple “Hello” or “Hey” is always a great place to start.

    If you’re greeting a girl who is more like one of your guy friends, bump fists with her or give her a playful nudge.

    If you two are close enough give her a hug, as physical touch can strengthen relationships., Noticing something about her appearance or even something she has recently done that she’s proud of is a great way to make her feel more comfortable with you, and shows you’re genuinely interested in her.

    You can even reference something you saw that she did on social media.

    For example, if she went on a trip a simple "I saw you went on vacation.

    I'm so jealous, it looked awesome! Did you have a good time?" works well.
