Ok so I am not the most out going person in a group of new people...hell it took me a few days to say anything on here... But the problem is my best friend gets all the guys when we go out.

What is the best way to get a guys attention when out and about?

I guess the question would be do you want to get all the guys or do you want that special one? I think being yourself would be the best thing. I also think a smile is a real icebreaker if you know what I mean.

Be safe.....

I would say both situations.

Sometime I want to have just a good time...and other times it would be great to find the one.

I agree with Dano but would like to add one thing. Don't be overly made up like the women in the cosmetic's department of a department store. Having managed a cosmetic's department in a local department store during another lifetime, the women on the counter were encouraged to over make-up themselves to sell their product. But if asked, they would tell you the best way to use cosmetics is to accentuate what you have but make it look as if it were natural.

Found the follwoing on the web.

Step 1 - Apply a concealer that is one shade lighter than your foundation. Dot it on over any blemishes or under-eye circles and blend with your fingertips or a makeup sponge. If your concealer tends to cake, apply eye cream first.

Step 2 - Choose foundation that matches your skin tone exactly. Apply it in dots over the central part of your face, then blend it out with a makeup sponge or your fingertips until it covers your entire face (see Related eHows).

Step 3 - Use a loose or pressed powder to keep foundation and concealer on longer. Use pressed powder to touch up when you're away from home.

Step 4 - Do your eyebrows next. Use powdered eyebrow shadow on brows instead of pencil, which can often look unnatural. Apply it with a hard, slanted brush.

Step 5 - Choose three colors of eye shadow: light, medium and dark. Use the dark only to line your upper eyelid, in a fairly thin line along the upper lashes. Use the medium shade for the crease and the lightest shade for the area under the eyebrow. There are many variations on eye shadow application techniques

Step 6 - Apply eyeliner. Use a cake eyeliner with a damp, thin liner brush, or an eyeliner pencil, and line the lower lid below the lashes. Line only the outer two-thirds of the lower lid, or all the way across if you're trying to achieve a darker look. Line all the way across the upper lid (just above the lash line and as close to the lashes as possible), or start the line where your lashes begin.

Step 7 - Apply mascara to upper and lower lashes, in two thin coats to avoid clumpiness. Choose brown mascara if your coloring is fair; black or brown-black works well for darker coloring. Or try a colored mascara such as navy or plum for fun, but don't go too bright if you want to be taken seriously.

Step 8 - Smile to find the apples of your cheeks, and apply blush to the apples or below, whichever you prefer. If you have to blend in blush, it's too bright.

Step 9 - Choose a lipstick color that's suited to your skin tone and that's perfect for your day look. You can mix colors and textures to suit your moods and your outfits (see Related eHows).

Step 10 - Line lips after applying lipstick, not before. That way you won't end up with a dark circle of lip liner after your lipstick has worn off. Avoid combining very dark lip liner and pale lipstick.

Getting any....attention doll?

I am not

Hey Courtney

I know all guys are different. It depends how your friend acts really. Guys in general are always attracted to the easy score I guess you could say. So depending on how your friend is acting she is probably indeed attracting the attention. Me personally I agree with Dano... A smile, friendly attitute (not too flirty), conservative on the clothes to a point show just a little bit of what is wrapped up under the clothes. And of course be yourself.

You will find someone Courtney but be picky and don't take someones scrap/leftovers and always be careful there is some real shitheads out there.


Oh welcome btw to the forums!

Hey Courtney,

I agree with the others, but I would say a little flirting helps too. Guys looking for a real relationship are going to be a bit more conservative and not interested in the "slutty" types, as D-1 pointed out. Of course too, it depends where your "shopping" for these men. Bars are generally known as "meat" markets, and most go there with just one thing in mind. You need to be yourself, but don't dwell on the poor mishaps of yesterday, focus on tomorrow and the positive. Guys don't like competition, and if your talking to them about past experiences and how this one did this and that, you've lost it from the get go. Much like it is with the ladies. Yesterday is great for history and to be learned from, but not something that has to be relived at every opportunity. Be real, don't try to be a Cosmo Girl, and really what's it matter if your friend is getting it all, shes just gaining the reputation of being a slut and reputations mean a lot. She's probably know to be easy and that's obviously not what your after or you wouldn't have asked this type of question. Your mild jealousy is good, but your reservations about jumping at every whip stitch is a smart and wise thing. To many diseases out and about and some you just can't get rid of. Which is important when you decide its time to settle down and have a family. Take pride in yourself, be safe and have fun!
