Finding a girlfriend

Hello ladies and gentleman of the bass community. I have a few questions for all of you about trying to find a girlfriend. I am a junior in high school so I hope that helps with any responses. I've had a few girlfriends, but the relationships didn't last long. I haven't asked anyone out in about 3 years. And sorry for asking these questions, I would just like to hear your opinions.

#1: how would I get a girl who doesn't seem to interested to like me? I know that's a question that's asked around a lot. I've done it before but idk what I did to do it. And girls have obviously changed a lot so I'm not sure the kind of guys they're looking for.

#2: How can I tell if a girl likes me back? I'm really awful at being able to tell.

#3: what are some fun activities that I could do with her that might get her to like me?

Thank you all for reading this, and I hope to hear your opinions!
 
Sorry for the sarcastic response above. Here's my serious reply:

Whip it out. Right in front of her. Don't say a word. Strike the Captain Morgan pose. If she calls the cops, she doesn't like you. If she smiles and starts up a conversation, you're golden.
 
Don't try to convince girls to like you. If they already aren't interested, you aren't going to make them become interested.

As silly as it sounds, be yourself, go to social events, interact with girls aplenty, don't try to be cool because it's always those types that girls roll their eyes about. Part of the charm that gets to girls is when you don't care whether they get an interested reaction from girls. Confidence is key. Otherwise, it stinks of desperation and that turns off every girl in the world.

Lastly, be patient. Don't force it. And ask girls out who are realistic for your looks. If you look like Napoleon Dynamite, don't ask a supermodel-to-be out or she'll flat-out reject you. When rejection happens (because it happens to everybody), don't get down on yourself or be dejected. Chin up and go on.

Good luck.
