I met my ex over the net and we are still pretty close and yer i will be in halls. Im jus hoping that i will make some guy friends and hopefully one thing will lead to another with one of them. I have only had one bf so im not exactly confident when it comes to making the first move

why do you need a bf for?? From things that has gone on in my flat I would recommend not getting involved with someone you live with as it can cause problems.

Be yourself and take your time finding the right person, oh and make sure you get to know them first.

Girls have it so much easier in the whole approaching game, especially at university.

You have nothing to worry about. If you want something/someone; go and get it.

It's easy to make friends with anyone at the beginning of uni, they guys will want to make friends with you just as much as you want to make friends with them. It'll just come naturally, there's no need to worry about it.

want to attract guys?
Rule number 1) Less is more, do not use too much make up and wear less clothes.
2) Talk to alot of people
3) give guys a 'taster' so the yearn and cringe and crave for more

less clothes does not mean slut, it just emphasises the fact you are hot, assuming you are.

It depends how few clothes you wear, when you look at women with revealing tops and belt length skirts, you can't help but think she must be promiscuous.

wearing short skirts may help

Oh my lordy gosh!

Be a nice person, be yourself, don't change yourself to fit in with a percieved idea of how 18 year old girls should be, talk to people, don't be too caught up in the 'I need a boyfriend to confirm who I am' school of thought.

What do you call a confused and depressed magnet?

You don't have to wear short skirts, especially if you're built like me (quite tall) and you look silly in them *points to self* I wear my skirts knee-length. Shows a sufficient amount of leg, but still is a bit of a teaser. Look happy and friendly. I laugh a lot (though not on hyena levels) around guys, and it makes one seem positive and such, which is nice.

I generally find tall girls quite manly, so really - it doesn't matter how you wear your skirts.
