How to catch the attention of a man?

I have said this in the past that guys sometimes completely miss signals from women - even when she is literally shouting "Take me, please!" Well, Maggie is one of these women. She says that she is outgoing, well-liked, and not bad looking, "but I can't really get guys to notice me. I don't know why. I've only had one boyfriend, and I'm 17. I work with this guy and I'm kind of interested in him, but I think he likes this blonde. How can I get something romantic started between us?"

Well, you can not only target a person that is already in a relatinship you can even try that with a married person. While I do not like the idea a lot, if you want you can even steal someone's boyfriend if you wish.

Having said that, well, one boyfriend by the age of 17 - maybe it is not as bad as you think. By this age, most people are really just looking to have friends; serious relationships do not come until a little later in life. So having one good relationship by that time is actually quite an achievement. And women who have several relationships by the time they are 17 are actually moving too fast, going through too many breakups, and I wouldn't be surprised if they become cynical about love and have problems later on in life.

But let us get back to your problem. Typically if a guy is interested in someone else, I do not advise people like you to bother since it only creates more complications and heartache. Plus, if you don't get him, you will feel even more frustrated and further start believing that something is really wrong with you. That may not be the case in the first place.

I have noticed is that many women are good people to hang out with but they have not learned the simple tricks to communicate to a man that they want a relationship - not just friendship. The men then enjoy hanging out with them but when it comes to romancing a woman they chase the romantic types. Or, you are just hanging out with the wrong kind of guys. For a good looking/outgoing/well-liked person there is no other explanation. So try to hook with a few new guys and see where it goes.
