1. Get the ball rolling by asking all your friends if they know any single guys. Being so forward may seem awkward, but at least you can be sure the guys they recommend won’t be douchebags or serial killers. Just saying.
2. Adopt a mantra like "nothing to lose." Yeah, it’s a little corny, but being fearless always gets the guy.
3. Perfect your come-hither look. Tilt your head slightly down and to the side, then look up from under your lashes and smile. This pose shows guys it's okay to approach — trust us, it works.

4. Men tend to be intimidated by a pack of girls, so hit up a bar with just two friends. If you see a guy you like, pull away from your friends and scan the room. When your eyes fall on him, shoot him "the look." It'll give him a free-and-clear pickup opportunity (and yes, they need all the help they can get).
5. You've mastered seductive body lingo; now cast a wider net and flash a knowing smile to every hot guy you come across.
6. Take a kickboxing or weight-lifting class at the gym. Arrive a little early so you can score a spot next to a buff guy and ask for some personal training.

7. You know those emails your college sends out about alumni networking events? Actually RSVP to one.
8. Instead of eating lunch indoors (um, you're not going to find a man at your desk), stroll around a busy part of town. When you spot a good-looking guy in a cafe or on a park bench, sit near him and start some small talk. His food and what he does are both no-fail options.
9. Join a group with a large guy-to-girl ratio, like a runners' club or ping-pong team. Not the sporty type? Volunteer with a non-profit like Big Brothers, Big Sisters that allows you to mentor underprivileged high school students and bond with fellow mentors at fun guy-heavy events like comedy clubs.

10. Stalking your ex on Facebook ends now. Instead, use it to search for guys you crushed on in high school. Send two of them a message explaining that they popped up on Facebook’s People You May Know feature and can’t believe they ended up living in [insert city here].
11. Chat up at least three hot dudes in places you wouldn’t normally expect to flirt. Making small talk with a guy in the elevator or a sexy waiter will help you open up and practice your flirting skills.
12. By now, you should have gotten a few responses from friends knowing that you’re looking to get set up. Ask those with recommendations to give interested guys your number.

13. Remember that guy from the gym? The next time you run into each other say, "Hey, how are you?" as if you're old friends. Research shows people are more attracted to those who are familiar to them.
14. This time of year, the parks are brimming with sporty men. Bring your bike there and ask one of them for trail recommendations since it’s your first time in the area. Something tells us he’ll take one look at you in spandex and suggest you just tag along with him.
15. If you met someone cool in the organization you signed up for the other day, and you have a list of member phone numbers, call him to see when you're meeting again. Feeling bold? Ask him to meet you for a cup of coffee after the meeting.

16. Head to a bar on an off night. Bypassing the weekend mobs will give you better luck connecting with men.
17. By now, you probably received a response from your blasts from the past on Facebook. If so, suggest you get together to catch up. If not, message two additional guys.
18. Wherever you are from the Apple store to your local pub or baseball game, position yourself by a cute guy talking to his buddies. As soon as there's an opener — like they're discussing the Cubs and you're from Chicago — pipe up. Say, "Hey, I couldn't help listening to your convo. I'm a huge Cubs fan. What did you think of the game?"

19. Throw a cocktail party, inviting several friends. Ask each guest to bring one new person. And don’t forget to look smokin’. Even if you don't meet any prospects, it'll expand your social circle — someone is bound to know available guys.
20. On your way home from work, stop in somewhere you've never been to — a coffee shop, for instance — and start a convo with a guy. It's easier to step out of your comfort zone and make a move when in a new environment.
21. Tag all the new people you met from your soiree two days ago on Facebook. Your funny captions will remind new friends to keep you on their radar and give any male guests an easy opening to ask you out.

23. "Accidentally" bump into a sexy man when you're at the grocery store. It's an instant convo starter (hey, you gotta say "sorry"), and the physical contact from your little collision makes the exchange more intimate.
24. You're in the homestretch. No matter how intimidating these next ideas seem, embrace your inner rock star and go with it. Tonight, take it up a notch and check out a local band by yourself. If there aren’t cute guys in the audience, you can at least chat up the hottie on the guitar.
