1. Be confident
As we’ve mentioned above, confidence is one of the essential things when it comes to being irresistible to men. So if you’re looking for the primary tip to draw guys to you, it’s all about owning your confidence.
So many women assume confidence comes with having the perfect body and flawless makeup, but it’s not that at all. If you’re confident, you could wear a paper bag as a dress and still look like a supermodel. Confidence is showing the world you value yourself and that you see your self-worth.
Own who you are, even your flaws and insecurities. Not only are men able to read that insecurity like a book, but you’ll struggle in progressing as a person if you lack confidence. [Read: 25 traits that guys find incredibly attractive in a girl]
2. Have some mystery
Do you know what really draws guys to a certain girl? The element of mystery. If he can’t read you like an open book *at least not at first*, then he’ll be curious to get to know you further.
You don’t have to tell the guy all your personal details, after all. He doesn’t need to know about your past relationship drama or your fear of pig’s feet.
Mystery keeps men wanting to find out more about you, making you irresistible. Not bad, eh? So even if you’re tempted to reveal all your secrets, be mysterious. [Read: How to be mysterious without going completely overboard in the role]
3. Steer clear of drama
Men don’t like drama. And although they may enjoy some gossip now and then, they don’t appreciate it when the drama is being produced by someone they may be interested in. This huge red flag turns men off.
Drama means negativity, and that’s a big no for guys. Who wants to be with someone who constantly talks about other people behind their backs? Exactly.
So, next time you want to gossip, perhaps save it for your best friend, or even better, don’t share it. [Read: Don’t stay stuck – 16 strategies to get your shit together]
4. Show your softer side
If you want to be irresistible to men, you need to reinforce the idea that there’s nothing wrong with playing sports and getting your hands dirty. Men love a girl who can hold their own ground and play rough. However, they also like femininity.
For sure, that doesn’t mean you have to ditch playing baseball or drinking beer. You can do all that, but don’t be afraid to also tap into your feminine side.
Really, it’s all about finding the perfect balance between your feminine side and your not-so-feminine side. [Read: 20 hot tips to be the ultimate feminine beauty]

If you’re five minutes late for your dinner reservations and you’re breaking out in a stress sweat, you need to calm down. Guys aren’t into women who freak out about every little thing. You might’ve heard this a few times, but guys tend to like someone who’s pretty chill.
So take a deep breath and settle down. Enjoy life. Life is serious and complex enough, and there’s no need to break a sweat and stress about literally everything.

Be genuine with your laughter, and he’ll appreciate it. It’ll also boost his ego. Again, guys don’t like girls who are too serious in life. [Read: How to smile more often – baby steps to change your life forever]

Just relax and take it day by day.
He’ll eventually come around and ask you on a date when it’s the right time or when he’s ready. Until then, don’t let your impatience show. [Read: 15 classy ways to make a guy crazy over you]

Are you still wearing your sweatshirt from grade nine because it fits? Congratulations, but it’s time for you to donate that. There is no way that is still in style. Take pride in how you look.
You don’t need to look like the best person or the most fashionable person in the room, but you need to take pride in the way you look.
This is also connected to confidence, as you can’t take pride in your looks without the necessary confidence. This isn’t about upstaging other women, but it shows you value yourself. [Read: Physical attraction tips to look way hotter]

13. Ignore him… for a bit
If you put everything on a silver platter, sure it looks nice, but he already knows he has that as an option. Play hard to get. We know, love shouldn’t be about games, but this isn’t about games. This is about showing guys you’re not just going to fall into their laps.
Guys generally love a challenge, so why not give it to them? If you want to be irresistible and make a guy chase you, ignore him for a little while. [Read: How to make a guy jealous and get his attention]

People glow when they talk about things they’re interested in. That engages men in a further conversation and possibly a date. So showing him your passionate self is actually very attractive.
You’re happy, sparkling, and glowing because you’re talking about the things you love doing. Do you like cooking? Talk about cooking. Do you like rollerblading? Talk about it!
Excite him with things that interest you, and he’ll be interested in trying them out with you. [Read: How men fall in love with a girl – the stages that really matter]

Showing off your conversation skills will be admirable to any guy, especially when you have a natural charisma and humor to draw others to you.
There’s no need to speak to every person in the room, but at least release your social butterfly every now and again, showing your charisma through your conversation skills. [Read: How to be more social – 19 ways to genuinely connect with others]

So, take your time in getting to know him and don’t give everything way too fast. If you get into bed with him right away, he won’t be left with anything much to chase after *since you already gave everything*. [Read: How to take a relationship slow but not so slow that it ends]
