Get out of the house and meet your dream guy. For one week, don't turn down any social invitations for parties, barbecues and happy hours. Go with a friend to watch a game at your local sports bar. Join a group that is popular with men, such as a hiking group or a pub trivia group. You're likely to find your dream guy doing something you enjoy -- and you'll already have common interests.

Enlarge your dating circle. Try online dating, which will allow you to search for certain traits that you want in a guy. Ask your friends to set you up -- they're likely to know who might catch your fancy.

Play it cool, but don't play hard to get. Men like women who have full, engaging lives, but breaking plans and ignoring phone calls sends a signal that you're not interested. Keep making plans with your friends and pursuing your own hobbies, but be sure to make time for him, too.

Cultivate your listening skills. Whether you're meeting someone for the first time or you're on your 10th date, look him in the eye, ask meaningful questions and avoid interrupting with your own stories. Put your cell phone away -- texting mid-conversation shows a lack of interest.

5
Take things slow. Don't rush physical intimacy -- give yourself a chance to get to know him first. Also, avoid smothering or nagging him. He may be your dream guy, but telling him so every chance you get will overwhelm him and drive him away.

Show interest in the things he enjoys. He'll be able to see right through you if you pretend to have been a die-hard Cowboys fan from birth (unless you really have been), but watching games with him and asking questions about what's going on in the field will attract him to you.

7
Stay positive. Men prefer women who are upbeat, fun and optimistic. Smile frequently, and compliment him often. Avoid complaining about the weather, your job or the restaurant service. Tell him about things that make you happy rather than things that upset or annoy you.
