This question is more a solicitation of opinions than a factual question (well, there are some factually _guaranteed_ ways to get someone to notice you, but that’s not what you’re looking for!). So I’ll move this thread to our forum for such things, In My Humble Opinion. Welcome to the boards. ---

To be sure, it requires a two-pronged approach: breast implants and winning a Nobel Prize (preferably chemistry - then your potential suitor can use a ready-made pick-up line like “I think we have good chemistry.”) ---

Pay attention to **that particular guy** and tryand figure out hoe to get **that particular guy** to notice you. Custom approaches always work better than one-size-fits-all tactics. ---

Talk to him and try to get to know him. Do you work or go to school with this guy? Find something in common and use it as a starting point. ---

Maybe I’ll come off sounding like a missing link,and I am sure some will disagree with my advice, but here goes. Do you look good in a mini and heels? yes? good go for it! There was a girl who used to live in my town not long ago who I thought was beautiful. _I_ noticed her immediatly,my friends were sort of indifferent about her though. She was the loose jeans type _mostly_ . One sunny summer day this year she went out in a tight-fitting short skirt and heels and **badda boom!!** the chest beating began. “man she’s gonna cause an accident” my friend said,only _then_ did they really notice her. anyhoo thats my .02c ---

Paint green and pink stripes across your face. Fart every time you walk by him. Become a famous movie star. Light your hair on fire. Gain 200 pounds. Lose 100 pounds. Walk backwards all the time. ---

Try asking him for his phone number. Tell him you want it because you think he’s cute and you’d like to ask him out now and then. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tony Montana \* > \*\*…anyhoo thats my .02c \*\* Shouldn’t that be .02d, or .02$? .02c is 1/50th of a penny, or 6000 kps. Oh, sorry. The OP… um… the best way to get a guy to notice you is to notice him. Talk to him, hang with him, express an interest in the things he’s doing. ---
