How to Attract Guys

Define the Vibe You Want to Convey. There’s no one-size-fits-all clothing style to attract guys, so think about the kind of woman you want to be, as well as the type of man you want to attract. For instance, if you're a 'bookish' girl searching for a fellow 'bookworm,' don’t wear high heels, short skirts, or heavy makeup like you see in movies!

• Never wear things just because you think guys will like them. Dress in a way that lets your true personality shine. This will capture his attention in a meaningful way.

Consider the context before choosing your outfit. You wouldn't want to make any mistakes while "charming" a guy. For example, a fancy outfit might not suit you at school, even if it looks stunning, just as you shouldn't wear casual clothes to attend a grand party.

Dress to accentuate your figure. Every body is unique, so you shouldn't pick clothes based on someone else's shape. Learn about dressing for your body type, whether you have a pear-shaped body, an hourglass figure, or curves in all the right places.

• If you have slender legs and a tiny waist, go for fitted pants or skinny jeans.
• If you have a tiny waist, wide-legged jeans or long pants will flatter your hourglass shape.
• If you're too thin, loose-fitting clothes will just make you look even smaller.
• If you have a trim waist, try an A-line dress to highlight your curves.

Makeup done right. If you don't want to overdo your makeup, a bit of foundation and lipstick will highlight your best facial features.

• Make sure your foundation matches your skin tone. If it's too light, your face will look ghostly, and if it's too dark, you'll end up looking like you've been slathered in tanning oil!
• Use concealer that is one or two shades lighter than your skin tone to brighten up the under-eye area and hide dark circles.
• Use concealer in the same shade as your skin to cover pimples and acne scars.
• Opt for gloss to add shine to your lips.
• Choose long-lasting lipstick to keep your color intact all day.
• Check your makeup in the mirror throughout the day and touch up as necessary.

Style your hair to make yourself feel beautiful. When you feel beautiful, you'll be more confident, and confidence is attractive. Try different hairstyles at home until you find the one you like best. Be mindful of how much time it takes to style your hair—you probably don't want to wake up an hour earlier every morning just to do your hair.

• Try going to bed with braids for easy, soft waves in the morning.
• If you're using a hair straightener, make sure you're using the right heat protectant products to prevent damage.
• If you don't have a curling iron, you can use your straightener to curl your hair.
• If you have long hair, try gathering it into a high bun or a top knot, a messy bun, or a ponytail.

Maintain an open and friendly attitude by smiling. The first thing a guy will notice is whether you're interested in having a conversation. If you want him to engage with you, you need to show that you're open to chatting!

• Many guys are attracted to a girl's smile. But remember, don't overdo it, or you might look silly! A charming and attractive smile is perfect, and a smile with your mouth open showing your teeth will make you seem confident.

Initiate eye contact with the guy you like. This is another way to show confidence. You don't mind being caught looking at him and aren't afraid to express your feelings.

• While eye contact is effective, avoid staring at him from a distance. You want to express interest and openness, but don't take it too far!

Have fun with your friends when he's around. If he sees you always alone, he'll think you're not social or that you're boring. But if he sees you laughing and making others laugh, he might take notice of someone as fun as you.

• Many girls try to "fake laugh" to get attention from guys, but that's not the way to go! It's obvious when laughter sounds forced, and sometimes it just comes off awkward or fake.
• It's better to genuinely engage in conversations with your friends and respond to what they're saying. This way, your laughter will sound more natural, and you'll still have those fun moments of bonding with your friends!

Take the initiative and introduce yourself if he doesn't approach you. If you're nervous about starting a conversation with him, he's probably feeling the same way too! In the past, women were often shy about initiating conversations or relationships, but that's a thing of the past. Be a brave girl!

• A great way to start is by asking him for help. For example, if you share a class, ask to borrow his notes for the day. This will give you an opening to discuss the class material, or even the teacher, etc. You can keep the conversation going when you return the notes next time.
• Offer a casual comment like "The homework was tough last night" or "I can't wait for the weekend to come!" Give him some conversation starters so he can join in with you.

Be yourself! Don't worry about the first impression a guy has of you, because research shows that first impressions aren't as important as people think in dating. What matters more is that he gets to know the real you. If you pretend to be someone you're not to win his favor, he might want to date you, but you'll have to keep up the act throughout your time together. It's best to let him know exactly who you are and what you like from the very first conversation.

• If you don't agree with something he says, don't be afraid to engage in a discussion. A debate doesn't mean a fight—it's simply you expressing your point of view in an everyday conversation.
• If he says something funny, laugh with him! However, don't laugh at everything he says, as this can make you seem forced and insincere.

Pay attention to body language—yours and his. Body language can be divided into two streams: "positive" and "negative." If either of you shows negative body language, it won't lead to a positive outcome. Observe his body language to see how he responds to the conversation. Adjust your body language to show him you're genuinely comfortable.

• Positive body language is shown through gestures like leaning in or getting closer, maintaining a relaxed posture with your feet parallel, keeping eye contact, and facing the person you're interacting with.
• Negative body language appears when someone leans back or creates distance, has tense legs and/or crossed arms, points their feet outward, or avoids eye contact.
• Note that some negative signs might be due to shyness. Just because a guy can't maintain eye contact with you doesn't mean he's avoiding you intentionally.

Show enthusiasm about what he says. No one likes to be ignored when they're sharing something they care about. Listen to what he says—this will not only make him feel that you care, but it will also help you learn more about him. After all, you need to decide if he's the right one for you!

• While listening is essential, don't pretend to be overly interested in things you're not just because he mentioned them. If he thinks you genuinely care about a topic, he might go on and on, making you lose interest in the conversation.

Bring up important topics in your conversation. As you get to know him, you'll listen to him talk about his interests. Likewise, if you want him to understand more about you, you should share your interests as well. Keep in mind that some topics are better saved for close friends or girlfriends—like not mentioning your deepest secrets or favorite makeup techniques to a guy you're just getting to know.

• Express the traits you want him to know about you by steering the conversation in that direction. If you're an athlete, talk about your training routine. If you're an actress, mention your rehearsals. If you love reading, share what book you're currently reading.
• However, avoid dominating the conversation by talking only about yourself and your interests. Both of you should exchange ideas, engage in the conversation, and listen to each other.

• Be yourself — someone will appreciate you for who you truly are.
• Follow your heart, not just your reason. Ask yourself if he is the right person for you.
• If you love someone, it's easier to win their heart when you understand their interests. For example, if you know he loves soccer, try playing the sport. Be yourself and join in. You might catch his attention!
• Always be cheerful but don't overdo it, as you want to appear natural in his eyes.
