How do I get to know a man?
I've been single for 7 years now. I must say that being single has its advantages, but slowly the solitude is starting to get to me. However, finding a man for a long-term, serious relationship is no easy task. Finding the man with whom I can be happy forever currently feels like a distant goal for me. I've been waiting for the right one for so long now. Somehow, I feel invisible to men as a woman! Okay, I'm not a model and have an average figure, but I'm not unattractive or anything.
How can I attract more attention from men without seeming desperate? How do you make yourselves noticed and meet new men? Even if you have some unconventional ideas, I would be very grateful for tips because I feel like I need to figure out how to catch a man who falls in love with me as much as I fall in love with him. I'm afraid it might not happen anymore!
Basically, everything essential has already been answered.
The only thing, in my opinion, that could be added is the following truism:
The more (desperately) one longs and wishes for something, the less likely it is to happen.
This certainly applies to both men and women:
Being uptight is not exactly sexy.

My advice for you is: Be active! If you don't take any action or always do the same things, you won't meet new people, and therefore, you won't get to know new men. Engage in public activities that you enjoy more often. On the one hand, this allows you to meet men you would never encounter in your daily life or sitting at home on the couch. On the other hand, you and the men you can meet already share a common interest, and shared interests are incredibly important as a foundation for a long-term relationship. Whether it's going swimming, attending cooking classes, having a after-work cocktail at your favorite bar, or relaxing by the lake in the summer: interesting men can be found everywhere. Approach them openly, and with a bit of luck, you might find the right one there.
To find a suitable man, it is very advantageous for you not to be shy. The cliché of a woman who wants to be conquered by a man is an outdated model that you should quickly dismiss from your mind. That was in the past. So, for you, the key is to approach a man if you find him likable, regardless of whether you know each other or not.
Somewhere in the queue, on the bus, or while shopping, you might meet a great man who also becomes interested in you once you've drawn attention to yourself. For example, just give him a small compliment. This establishes the first contact, and if you get along well, there's nothing standing in the way of a first date.
If you don't want to be so upfront, simply smile at a nice man you randomly encounter in everyday life. Establish repeated eye contact with him. This makes you simultaneously intriguing and signals your interest. If his interest is piqued, he might approach you on his own. Just keep your eyes open in everyday life and don't withdraw too much. This significantly facilitates getting to know men, and you can soon find happiness.
