Many girls would find your accent "cute". You don't need to do anything to get rid of your accent, girls would rather prefer that you stick to being original rather than trying to cultivate something that you're not. Moreover, there's no such thing as "no accent" at all. British English, American English, Australian English all have accents. Even within the US, a person from Texas will speak in a different accent as compared to someone from New York. You've been in the country for 3 years and will be here longer.....slowly, you will develop an accent that is unintentionally influenced by your surroundings. Just work on being more confident, believe in yourself and practice being cool, calm and confident. People will flock to you I guarentee.

Theres no such element as an british accent. Britain is a collection of four man or woman countries, England, Scotland, Wales, and northern eire. And the accents in each respective us of a are VERY different. yet im gonna anticipate you meant English accents in uncomplicated words. you should pick WHICH english accent you wanna study first previously you pass round imitating the english. there is dozens of different English accents, and they could also sound quite different, and leave different impressions on the human beings you search for suggestion from with.
