I was in the same boat for awhile too. I dress like a tom boy so I really never got asked out probably because they might have mistaken me for a lesbian. My clothes started to change so I started to get more feminine clothes when I go out with friends. But deep down I'm still a tom boy, that will never change. But I just changed my appearance to work for the opposite sex and also that will work, and make me feel comfortable, with me. I'm not that comfortable with my body either. I wear clothes that compliment the goods I have. All you need to do is find what compliments on you so you know what not to wear.

Keep the tom-boy look, but make it less boyish. Make sure your clothes fit! Don't go extra baggy--it makes you look worse, not better. I knew one girl I thought was a little fat until I saw her in a bathing suit--she was short and a little wide-framed so she covered herself in sweatshirts and baggy pants. She had a pretty hot body when she showed it--but she didn't like her body and would hide it.
If you are dressing as a tom-boy, let me suggest ponytails and other 'up' hairstyles. This will let your femininity come out without making you dress in lace and frills. Wear jeans or pants that fit your butt. If you wear t-shirts, wear some with personality--concert tees, ones with funny sayings, ones people will ask about. And I'd say you need a hat or three--use as an accessory, not a dirty head cover the way guys do.
That's my advice on looking good as a tom-boy. Basically, make it look like you care about what you look like, but that this is how you like to dress--comfortable but cute. Confidence is key to looking good--so don't try to change into something that isn't you, just make something that is you look as good as possible.

You could dress more girly without being uncomfortable. Ease into it, without bringing out those body areas that you're not yet quite comfortable about. Try a little touch of make-up-that's not a huge leap away from what you're used to.
Most importantly: It's not so much how you look, it's your attitude and how you connect with another person. You need that friendship for any relationship to work. You wouldn't want a guy who wouldn't have otherwise dated you and is only interested in your "makeover." Good luck!

Just like what most people would say, you should keep on being yourself. But if you think that your success would increas if you DID girl it up a bit...then do it..
You don't have to go all pink to look feminine and sexy... Do you have any friends who do wear "girl" clothes? Ask them to go shopping with you and to help you pick out a nice shirt to go with a good pear of blue jeans... Blue jeans that fit your form nicely and that flare a bit at the bottom.... Add some nice low key earings and perhaps a necklace and a bit of mascara.. and pow!

what you should do is probably wear jeans that are tight but not to tight. ones that you can move around in adn just wear a girly shirt. maybe have your straight and down and probably put on a littl emakeup adn then ask him out. oh and put perfume on also. hopefully this works. and a reminder dont forget the lipgloss!!!!!

You'd probably be the happiest with someone who likes you the way you like yourself. Do you want someone to start hanging out with you who only likes you if you dress uncomfortably? Probably not. Have you thought of asking someone out yourself? Turned down doesn't feel very nice but then again, your life is what _you_ make of it. I haven't found it worthwhile to wait for something to happen if I can help things happening myself. :)

Wear Jeans and a baggy t~shirt and tuck it in in the front or one of the sides and wear a cofty pair of sneaks. that makes u seem taller. and try sum eye liner it may help alittle. GOOD LUCK!!!

...Learn to like and love yourself just the way you are sweetie. If you don't like yourself darling...don't expect anyone else to. Be yourself no matter what other people want you to be seriously. You are who you are,...and that's all you'll ever need to be. You're perfectly wonderful just the way you are. It's the other people that need to get their ducks in a row,...not you sweetie!
