10 ways to attract a man
Elsa Weidman, Match.com
Work it
You know what I mean: I’m talking about you and your fear of skin. Show a little. I don’t mean Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich, but maybe something from her Mystic Pizza days.
Work out
Did I mention that Tip #1 is contingent upon the success of Tip #2? If you don’t work out, you can’t work it. Get yourself on the elliptical a few times a week, and not only will you look better in your new, revealing wardrobe, but you’ll feel better and exude confidence.
Shut up
Enough with the long stories already. First meetings call for shallow conversation, not your memoirs.
Be mysterious
This is the 21st century version of playing hard to get. Girls in the 20th century took this too far — never acting interested, never calling back ... You know who you are. These days, hold back some information. Don’t divulge the details of your brief stint as Tori Spelling’s personal assistant; just allude to it. He’ll be begging for more.
No scowling
My gorgeous friend Miranda is a scowler. Scowls at everyone in the place. When she asks, “Why can’t I get a guy?” our friends tell her she intimidates men. She looks like a bitch. No one will tell her, so I’m telling you.
Show your smarts
Acting ditzy is like so 1996. You watch CNN. Dazzle him with your knowledge of the Nasdaq, not Nickelodeon.
Be seen
You’ve got a VCR, so you can tape "Buffy." Just get out there and let the world know you’re available ... without looking available. Make him say, “Who’s that girl I keep seeing around? She certainly looks mysterious and smart.”
Network
You may think your best friend’s boyfriend is a waste of time, but don’t count him out. No, I don’t mean steal him — talk to him. Talk to all guys even if they’re taken. They have friends, co-workers and second cousins.
Graduate from seventh grade
Hey, you’re an adult. Don’t giggle with your friends and send one of them over to tell the guy you think he’s fine. I don’t care how many tequila shots you’ve had. You wouldn’t write his name on your book covers, would you?
If all else fails, girl ... make the move
Why should we always leave it up to them? If you’ve followed the first nine tips, then you just may have the confidence to approach the guy yourself. What’s the worst that could happen? Wait, don’t answer that.
