School is back and this just might be the semester for you to fall in love, or at least get some. Following last week's tips for girls looking to get guys, here are some tips and tricks for guys to get the object of their desire …

Girls love bad boys that aren't really bad, but nice. Sounds crazy but it's true. We're attracted to confidence and manliness. We like it when you take control because in a daddy-issue sort of way, we want to feel safe and protected by you.
Girls love compliments, but not the insincere ones that we hear all the time, like "You're hot," or "You have nice eyes." It means a lot more if you say something like "You're the coolest girl that I've met in a while," or "I'm loving your style, you're super sexy." Those are things that will make us blush.

Pick-up lines are horrible, but what works almost every time is humor and just being genuine and saying hi.

If you're going out to meet a girl, dress like a guy. Sure, we can appreciate personal style and maybe once we're with you we'll be cool with you wearing your pink shirts and deep v-necks, but generally girls are attracted to guys in the typical guy outfits: i.e. jeans and a t-shirt. And if you want to look nicer, swap out the t-shirt for a polo or button down. We've heard girls say time and again that they're not interested in a guy who spends more time on his appearance then we do.

If we're with a group of our friends, talk to all of us. Don't ignore the people we're with but rather involve them in your attempt to charm us. Saying something to our girls like, "Hey, I have a crush on your friend, can you help me get her number?" is a cute way that shows our friends that you're not a douche.

Most of all, don't play games! Girls are too emotional for you to mess around with not calling or playing hard to get. If you like a girl, tell her. Don't wait however-many days you think you should wait to call: trust me, she'll be more flattered if you just admit that you can't stop thinking about her and want to take her out again.

If she's not receptive, then give her space. Don't bombard her, because she might not be into you; just let it be known that you're interested if she wants to hang out. If you don't hear back from her, one or two follow-ups are okay, but no more than that.
