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.

Grace: Hey, So Ive known this guy for a while..years practically and we've been on a good basis..talking occasionally and what seems to be slight flirting (may or may not just be his personality). After like a year though we didnt see each other but then a month ago i started going to his church, not because of him, and we've talked some more. hes an amazing, genuine guy with a lot of the same interests I have, its just I cant get my insecurity and worrying out of my way! I've liked him for years...and I have a sneaking suspicion he might feel the same way, but i feel like i blew it by not talking for a while, and Im not good enough for him. He gives me mixed signals, being sweet to me, sitting next to me, and then he goes and gets kinda flirty with my friend. I have no idea what to do. please help me.
toni: ok so my friends are in a band and i know all of then except one i just met him a few days ago and we started texting eachother that same night we all had their biggest concert and like i really like him i cant stop thinking about him, i got the butterflies and everything! And i heard he and his girlfriend broke up sooooooooooooo idk what to do please help me!
Xannyyy: I already have one. But this post is so sweet that I will pass it around to all my single friends. I loved reading that you suggested to Remember that being single is okay. Mostly when one is fed up to being single and wants a BF badly, there will be no one at the moment who's good enough. Take it easy, spread your wings and thak life as it comes. There's a prince out there for everyone!
Anonymous: Hello, I am 16 years old, and I've always been on the shy side. I feel comfortable talking with someone once I get into a conversation, but I've always had issues with starting conversations in the first place. I've gotten better about this since I started high school, but I still feel uncomfortable talking with guys. I came here to try to find advice on the guy I have a crush on at school. He is really cute, and he seems like a nice kid, but I've never actually spoken to him before. He isn't in any of my classes, and I don't have Facebook, so I can't just look him up. As far as I can tell, we don't have any mutual friends. I definitely want to go talk to him, but I'm not entirely sure on how to start a conversation with him. The only time I see him is in the morning in the lunchroom, and he is always surrounded by his friends. I would just go up an introduce myself, but I have trouble talking to people in groups, especially in a group that I don't know, and I don't want to interrupt a conversation that he's having with his friends. I that the last bit might sound like a strange concern, but interrupting anyone, even my best friend, just makes me feel incredibly awkward. So here is my question: Do you have any ideas as to how I could get talking with him? I have a couple topics in mind, but should I bring a friend over there with me to help me get a conversation going?
