No, and I'm pretty neutral about my lack of success. For one, I haven't tried very hard, but then I'm not desperate either, so meh.

Confidence and backing yourself is what works. That and having realistic expectations, relationships are transactive. Don't expect to get a premium product if your offering is substandard.
That totally makes sense if the girl in question is single, but what if she already has a long-distance boyfriend she's had for a year or more? I'm guessing there's no point in thinking there's ever going to be a chance, but pretty much every girl at my college who I've met has a boyfriend back home (Apart from the girl who made one here during Fresher's).
