1. Remember That Being Single is Okay

If you are frantically waiting for that special someone, you might be coming across as desperate and that is instantly off-putting to guys. Take some time to enjoy yourself, and remember why you are so amazing. If you love yourself you make it much easier for others to love you too.

2. Think about Who You Want

Now you know who you are, think about what you want. Write down what is really important out of a mate and what can be negotiated. This will stop you settling for anything, and ensure that you look for people who you could actually have a future with!

3. Spread Your Wings!

Join a club that you love, get involved in a sport, learn a new skill. Don’t join just because you expect to meet people, join to enjoy yourself, boost your confidence, and act as a distraction while you are waiting for Mr. Right!

4. Be Confident

Been checking out that guy for a while? Go and introduce yourself. No other way to stop saying I want a boyfriend than just go out and get one. It might be scary, but you’ll demonstrate confidence and self reliance which are both very attractive qualities!

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

5. Get to Know Them

Before you fall in love with every guy you meet, talk to them and see if they match your list. Look for similarities and differences and see how you get on together. Just because he matches your list verbatim doesn't mean the chemistry is there. It’s important that you know the man himself so you know whether or not you need to readjust your list.

6. Make Friends

The best relationships stem from friendships, so take your time and get to know him as a friend. You can't sit around saying I want a boyfriend but not give yourself any opportunities to meet a boyfriend-even as a friend first. As well as being the perfect base, it also means you’ll be pre-warned about any bad habits, and you’re likely to know about his past relationships.

7. Make Him Feel Comfortable

It can be a nerve racking job asking a girl out, so make him feel comfortable around you. Maybe he's afraid of rejection; if you make him comfortable he'll be able to make a move. Even if nothing happens, you’ll have an amazing guy friend out of it and guy friends are the best!

8. Read the Signs

Think about whether he likes you too. Does he compliment you a lot, spend lots of time with you, flirt occasionally? Or is he really treating you like a best friend? Reading the signs can save you the heartache of un-returned love. Don't make up signs just because you want a boyfriend, make sure the signs are actually there.

9. Be an Amazing Girl!

By being his friend, you risk letting him see your bad points. Counter this by showing him how pretty, bubbly, intelligent and happy you are. Show him who you really are. These positives will surely outweigh the negatives. Double bonus if you can hang out with his guy friends too and they think you're cool.

10. Ask Him out!

If he’s showing all the signs, and you’re feeling it too, then ask him out! Don’t leave it up to him, be a modern girl and take it in your own hands. At least that way you know where you stand and you don't have to spend your time pining over him if he's not interested.

    I really like this guy and he talks to me sometimes but also this other girl more. when we talk though it's really special and real(well to me at least) He tried to play footsy with me once but I got nervous and pulled my feet away, is that going to change the way he feels?

    Recently I went to a friend's birthday where I didn't know many people there and ended up meeting one if his nice guy friends. We kissed that night and on the journey hold he put his arm round me and was very sweet. I would like to get to know him but he did not ask for my number.. I rarely meet a guy I want to date but I'm really shy at initiating these sorts of things, should I do something about it?

    After he said UP TO YOU he completely forgot about it. I make eye contact and mess around. He probably is freaked out at being asked out by a weirdo! Lol!

    So I was friends with this guy a looonng time ago and he had a girlfriend who lived about 4 hours away in vermont (we were in new york). we started hanging out everyday when their relationship was still fresh and ended up having feelings for eachother. but he never acted upon them, i always did because i was the single one. so then they broke up, and he met ANOTHER girl and stopped talking to me (which is understandable cause girls can be crazy and possessive) its been almost 3 years, and they broke up awhile ago and we've started talking again and i really want it to go somewhere this time because we've always got along, we never argued about anything and had a really good time as friends and i think it could be really good. what should i doooo?
