Don't Text Him
Yes, it sounds straight out of "The Rules" (or your grandmother's mouth) but there's something to be said for the thrill of the hunt, and guys are all about it. Reply to his texts in a timely manner, but do not initiate.
14:
Get Busy
No one is interested in someone (for friendship, dating, or anything else) who is dull. Immerse yourself in hobbies - have something to talk about on the date! Don't dump your plans for a guy.
13:
Go Au Natural
It's no secret that men don't like makeup. Ease up a little on getting dolled up. A little concealer for trouble spots, eyelash curl and mascara, and colored lip gloss is all any woman needs.
12:
Choose a Signature Scent
There's nothing more attractive than a sensual smell, but perfumes wear differently on everyone. Go to a store and have an expert help you. Floral, spicy, musky, clean - the choices are endless. Find one that defines you. Try Gucci Guilty, Flower Bomb, or a classic Chanel scent like Mademoiselle.
11:
Eat
That's right. Men like a woman with a healthy appetite. How fun is it to be at dinner with someone who orders the side salad? Be comfortable with who you are, and actually enjoy those dates.
10:
Wear Red
It's classic advice, but the color is irresistible. It screams movie star siren and is a surefire way to have all eyes on you.
9:
Listen
It's an underrated skill. Women are used to be able to chat up a storm with girlfriends. Tune that knack for building relationships towards the guy you're interested in. Everyone likes to talk about themselves, so use this to your advantage.
8:
Let Your Hair Down
It's a move that's worked for centuries. Nothing is as compelling as a woman reaching up and undoing long, flowing locks. For ladies with shorter manes, it's just as effective to give a "casual" tousle.
7:
Master the "Over the Shoulder" Move
It's a stance found in nature. Most female mammals look coyly over their shoulder at the males they're interested in. It's sure to appeal to every man's base instinct.
6:
Smile
It sounds easy, right? However, it's harder said than done. One of the most challenging things people struggle with is making eye contact and smiling at the person who catches their eye. It can do wonders. Start practicing with strangers on the street or at the bar who are "safe" and not intimidating.
5:
Don't Play Games
It might sound contrary to not initiating calls, but there's a fine line between being ladylike and playing mind games. Don't exaggerate or lie to get him interested. If he's not interested in who you really are, then it wouldn't work out in the long run anyway.
4:
Touch Him
A friendly touch on the knee or shoulder is a great way to let a man know you're interested. It's comforting, intimate, and gives him an open invitation to make a move.
3:
Get Along With His Friends
Men aren't that much different than women, and their friends' opinion of you matters. Treat this just like a job interview and do a little research about them. What are their interests? Winning them over is half the battle.
2:
Compliment Him
Find a genuine compliment to share with him that's not about how hot his body is or how much he makes. Is he passionate about a hobby? Does he have a soft side and call his mother weekly? Find something you truly appreciate or admire and let him know.
1:
Tell Him You Like Him
Be honest. If he's not the player type (which he shouldn't be if you're interested in more than a fling), it can't hurt. If he seems wary about making the first move, maybe he's shy. It beats spending months guessing.
