    Nice, loving, caring and friendly are all good attributes but on their own they don't make a person intresting.
    A bit of confidence and a bit of humour go along way.

    Well apart from that..... ;)

    Just be yourself and dont try too hard cos if you do it shows! Trust me! Its off-putting.
    Oh, and also, don't go looking for a girl. If you do you'll end up trying it on every girl you see, and that's not good.
    Just relax and go with the flow. It might also be worth giving it some time first, seeing as you been through a complicated break up and that'll just confuse things

    I think skive has got it. I read something a while ago that said women (in general) are attracted to men who are 'powerful' and that doesn't necessarily mean someone who is the Emporer of the world or something daft, but self-confidence (not cockiness, thats just twattish), self-sufficiency, all go a long way. Of course on the personality tangent most people go for niceness etc. but I think it is that core "I am a grown up man, capable of looking after myself" confidence.

    Having money doesn't hurt, I've heard girls say that it shouldn't matter but at the same time a guy who isn't afraid to spend money on a girl tends to have better odds!

    I think it's about getting your foot in the door, be self confident, make a good impression, be a likeable person, and the rest will come to down to individual chemistry which is different for each and every person.

    Dude, what?

    Do you really want to be with a girl who only likes you when you put on an act? Fuck that noise.

    You shouldn't change yourself just to make girls like you. Unless you're constantly picking your nose and eating it in front of them. Because that's just rude. Offer them a bite as well.

    You can list all the qualities that would make you a perfect catch for any young woman, but if you start in any way pretending to be something your, its not just yourself your deceiving, its the woman too!

    Ultimately I think most people would appreciate honesty and openness in a partner. By trying to be something you're not, or putting on an act, it's likely a partner would feel they don't know the real you and therefore would find it difficult to trust you.

    My suggestion is to think carefully about what makes you special or different to the next guy. You should aim to emphasise the qualities you already have, rather than trying to emulate what you consider to be 'the perfect guy'. You will become more confident the happier you are with yourself, and confidence is a big factor in attractiveness to many people!

    smiling emphasises that you're friendly, generally happy, 'nice' I guess as well. nobody wants to go out with a depressed emo kid who hates everyone, afterall.

    It's subtle things like that really I guess. Listening is a good tip too. If you pay attention to what someone is saying (and react positively) they will get the impression you are someone who respects others and are happy to let them talk. I've got a friend who seems to have missed this part of socialisation, and you could be halfway through a sentence and he will just start talking (and try to be louder!) and it is infuriating.

    Be willing to make jokes and be bold, that shows you are confident in yourself. You have to try and be expressive, communicate with your hands and not sit there and mumble.

    I don't even think these tips are relationship specific, people just generally warm to you more if you approach with a positive attitude rather than a negative one. Smiling is probably the most important tip tho ;)

    I think it's something that comes with time. When I was younger I had practically none, but as you get older (sorry if this sounds patronising) you take on experiences you weren't sure you would be able to do, but come out the stronger for them. Even little things, like being forced to stand up in front of lots people and talk to them lol, afterwards when it's not a car crash you think to yourself 'wow, I can do this'.

    I don't think it's anything you should worry about, and the girls will come with time don't worry.

    I think its all down to the girl your interested in and the chemistry you share. Personality, one way or the other, will always come out in the end.

    To try and act one certain way is silly. There are millions of girls who all go for different things when looking for a partner. If its just sex your looking for then obviously a big wallet can get you that because there are always gold diggers about but love is different.

    Personally i think bein in the right place at the right time has a lot to do with finding love. Like i said at the start, you can be mr perfect uk but if the girls not interested then your beat. I will give you an example of this from experience i have had. I went out with a mate and his gilfriend one time only to see that she had a fit mate. My mate then told me that this girl thought i was fit. Long story short we didn end up gettin it together because she thought i was too nice!!!???? the mind boggles.

    However the girl i am seeing now tells me that she loves how im such a nice guy?????? the point is that girls are all different. I will only ever be nice because thats me. Lucky enough i was in the right place at the right time to find an amazing girl who appreciates me for it :)

    I couldn really give detailed tips on how to keep a girl interested because im struggling with that one myself lol. If its to do with first dates though i would just recommend to act friendly to see if you get on. Oh and i would agree with smiling because i do it all the time :)

    It's impossible to say what a girl wants. Some girls want a serious relationship, some girls don't want to feel smothered, some girls just want sex, some girls just want to hang out with someone fun, blah blah.

    Agreed, and will also depend on age.

    regarding your situation, i would just have some fun and try not to get hung up on an ex. If shes gonna date your ex best mate then they are two people that you are probably better off without.

    When I met my man, we were friends for a long time before we got together. I knew what I wanted from a long term partner and it was someone who had a similar ideals, life goals, common interests (although not so similar that we didnt have things outside of our relationship) someone who accepted me for myself and I could be completely honest and open with and not have to pretend to be something I was not. We share a very similar sense of humour I respect him and his opinions and if we have a disagreement we can discuss it like adults instead of playing games and trying to "win". I like the fact we both enjoy doing similar activities and spending time together. My bloke said I was his best friend and I guess thats how I feel about him too.

    My important factors are:
    Someone I can have an intelligent conversation with,
    Have fun, in a light and airy way and that I can tease and will tease me back without any nastiness,
    Shares similar goals in life and is willing to work towards them as a couple instead of as individuals,
    Someone that I respect and trust who shares the same respect and trust for me.
    The ability to have a discussion about any issues without playing games and have a resolution of any conflict sensibly.
    Has a similar sense of humour and shares some of my interests,
    It is important that the person "gets" me and vice versa

    I know thats what I want however I am certain that I am not the same as every woman, my advice would be to be yourself, get out there and date, see lots of people and eventually you will meet the right person for you who you can be yourself with.
