Pick someone out, stay about 20-feet behind them, and try to copy their walk. Notice the posture, stride, fluidity of motion-and try to copy it. After a while, turn around and wait for another seemingly self-confident individual, then mimic their walk as well. .......... When you meet your date, this is the way you should walk, especially when greeting them for the first time.

Another thing that might convey 'confidence' is simply being talkative and maybe even talking a bit loudly.

I suppose if members of the opposite sex are stupid enough to fall for tricks like this....then people might as well use them.

isn't "radiance" sort of involuntary ...synergistic stuff in space that just happens? We can't really control too much what we radiate right? don't we have to actually feel it?

I think we can sometimes fake it til we make it, but I think it helps to actually be confident, and find a way to get there.

Being comfortable to belch in her face is alwasy a good test of confidence!

Something simple that has an astounding effect for me is standing up straight. When you do that, your eyes look out and not down, and i feel that by itself has given me some additional self-confidence.

No, that's a delusional player! The correct response would be "Zero -- like your chance of making it with me!"

Yep, it certainly helps if you feel it. For all of us, our confidence can fluctuate over the course of a day, a week, a month, etc., but there are ways to influence those fluctuations. I would bet almost everyone could come up with a song, or maybe an album, that gives them a burst of confidence. Why not listen to it on the way to the date for a bit of a boost?

Beagle nailed this one. People who are confident don't need to read on how to be confident.
