Confidence is not reserved for the educated or the conventionally successful (nor does education or "good" employment assure confidence...).

Agree. But, it is likely.

Whereas, reading on the internet a "pick up line," well, that is not so likely.

TG86, I’m going to take a leap and think you mean “self confidence.” *grin* “Confidence” brings up memories of the scientific method, and grading hypotheses.

Self confidence is not, as neardc has eloquently stated, something you *say.* It is something you are.

And, how is that going to help him in the present?

Certainly it's not necessary for someone to wait ten years in the hope of acquiring the education and resume to become "confident"?

OP, you don't express confidence through what you say. You exhibit it through your behavior. Everything about you--from the way you walk to the way you look at me (or not!) when we're talking.

Whatever it is that you do, think, or believe, do it with your heart in it. This will make you appear more confident.

If you're asking other people how to appear confident, then you will not appear confident.

You will BE confident when you're comfortable with who you are and don't care what strangers think of you. This is a long process for us youngsters and you may not be there yet lol.

Stop trying to match what you think others want you to be. Just be yourself.

Girls, what should a guy say to show confidence? Tell u that you're the most beautiful girl he's ever seen?
If you are confident in who you are, and you are yourself than she will sense this confidence. If you are not confident in yourself it won't matter what you say to her or do she will sense that you are not confident. You can only build confidence by understanding both your flaws and strong points and letting your strong points show and making an effort to be the best that you can be without letting others influence what you think of yourself.
