Columnistas // Guide for the Single Girl: Snag That Guy—Why it’s All About Confidence

Single girls know that it is all about girl power when it comes to snagging that hot guy.You have the looks and the personality, but maybe you need to work on your confidence. It’s always difficult to either pluck up the courage to reveal your feelings or wait for him to make the first move, which really tests your patience. You may not know him that well or he may blow hot and cold, but whatever your situation—when it comes down to it—he wants a confident single girl who is going to really exercise “girl power.” Leave him falling for you with little effort made on your part.

Play it cool

This will come with your love of independence and your ability to take each day as it comes. Don’t forget that this guy isn’t your only option; he is merely one of many. After all, if you can snag one you can snag them all—this type of confidence will enhance your cool factor.

Fun Tip: When you’re in a crowded room acknowledge him only once and then let him do all the work. He is sure to approach you whilst you are having a giggle with the girls! 

Let him make the first moves

Don’t be the one to go over to him first. It screams out that you’re more interested in him and he’ll play on that knowledge. Make sure in those initial “first moves” stages that he’s the first to contact you.

Fun Tip: Let him chase you by not showing your emotions towards him. Give him barely anything back and he is sure to want more and more.

Keep your options open

Remember this guy is just one of many guys. If he doesn’t play ball there is always some other guy willing to. Don’t set your heart on falling for one guy unless you know that he could be serious.

Fun Tip: Boost your ego by surrounding yourself with boys and they’ll definitely give you the confidence you need.

Look after your appearance

Don’t forget the little things. It is all well and good making him chase you, but you want to make sure that you keep up your reputation.

Fun Tip: On those summer days accessorise your hair with a large flower clip. That splash of colour means that all eyes will be on you.

Love and respect yourself

In other words don’t let a boy mess around with you or get the better of you. You need to be the one to play hard to get. Keep in mind that confidence is one of the most attractive qualities in a partner.

Fun Tip: Ignore any guy that even attempts to play you and only acknowledge those with good intentions.

Snagging that guy will involve making him chase you and it can easily turn into playing a game of hard to get. It will take plenty of confidence and perseverance, but once you have snagged him you can ease off (well, just a little). Confidence is one of those attractive qualities where it’s important to “fake it ‘til you make it.” If you believe that you are a confident single girl, who can argue with that?
