How can I hold her attention?

Have you asked her out? I agree with bluelife...we like to be chased, but too an extent...we want to make sure that you are really into us and not just trying to get into our pants. Do you know anything she is into? If so, then maybe surprise her with something she is interested in. Basically, all you can do is be yourself and if that isn't enough, then she isn't worth your time and you will find someone that is.

Well, for starters, have you spoken to her? Women like to be chased from time to time. If she's really smart and independent, she would more than likely play hard to get to see how into her you really are! (especially if she's into you 2) Make sure you come correct to her. Don't step up to her with a lot of jibber jabber-remember she's intelligent so she knows what she wants. Show respect. Speak to her. Begin a conversation with her. Make her laugh. Be real and just be you. No put-ons just to please-remember she's intelligent. Good luck!

You have provided a lot of detail in your answer. Do you know this girl from work? School? Extra-curricular activities? - You could get her attention by paying her some compliments (because she sounds like a very confident person) start by first complimenting her intelligence and intellect (what is she good at? Has she helped you with anything recently? ) - Let her know you appreciate her mind above anything else. Paying her genuine compliments always helps - let her know how refreshing it is to see a girl who is so full of confidence yet has such a great sense of humor and spirit about her. I wish you could tell us a little bit more about her. I think that, yes, definitely, because she is smart girl she is not gonna fall for the usual compliments. So you got to be creative - you got compliment her personality before anything else. Ask her what her interests are - and maybe plan a day exploring those interests. She sounds like a real catch! Don't let this one out of your sight. P. S. You may find that at first she will be skeptical, but work on her, and believe me she will come around. Smart, confident, independent women can always judge if a guy is genuinely into her or if he is just playing with her mind. Hope this helps. Please, if anything provide a little more detail about her, and how you met her, present relationship situation etc. Etc. -
