Trying Hard

Using everything you have aim, texting, phone calls, buying gifts etc. to get a girl's attention which, if done right, will result in some kind of sexual attention from the girl. The harder and better you try the more you are obligated to get from the specific girl. There are 2 certain types of trying:
1.Sympathy
ex. when a guy tells a girl how he wants to find the girl of his dreams but is not hot enough for any girls and the girl he likes doesn't like him back; this includes the use of smiley's such as :/, :, D:, :( etc.
2.Cockiness
ex. when a guy uses words that intimidate the girl that he is trying with, he will try to get her to admit that she likes him no matter what it takes mostly by hanging out with her and talking to her a lot over texting. this type of trier is usually the more confident one and he is most likely to get something out of it.

A way to express someone trying hard would be standing up and yelling T! and making a T with your hand, then seconds later being H! making two parrell lines(with your hands of corse)and getting a friend to finish the middle, this is how you make the person aware of a THer.
