Why settle for being the best friend when you might be the leading lady?
At least a little.
Sounds nice, right?

Heres how:
1.
You never know who you might meet.
And Im not saying you should only talk to the movie-star-hot people you see on the subway.
Allow yourself to be a little silly.
If theyre clutzy, theyll trip over the biggest piece of furniture right in front of their love interest.
This kind of energyliving your truth with abandonis a surefire way to attracteveryone.
Ask for help from your friends…and ignore their advice.
Leading ladies dont keep their problems under lock and key.
They dont sequester the mushier sides of themselves where no one can see them.
Tell your best friends whats bothering you, whether its about love or not.
And if they give you advice you dont want to follow, by all means ignore it.
Thats what a leading lady does!
(Unless it means getting you WAY out of your comfort zone.
Then following the weird advice is a must.)
Give yourself a cute little makeover.
Im not saying it’s crucial that you have a huge transformation or anything.
If Laney inShes All Thator Biana inThe DUFFare any indication, you barely have to change at all.
Just some cute bangs and a few flattering dresses added to your wardrobe and BAM!
Youre now the hottest thing around.
Do it for the plot.
Think about the plots of these rom coms.
Theyre never they met on Tinder and went on a few dates and now theyre in a relationship.
The movie would be over in five minutes.
Instead, make a run at have your own little character arc.
How are you going to grow and change in the next weeks or months?
And how can that translate into movie-worthy romance?
Thats up to you.
Speaking of which…
6.
Dont be afraid to flirt in your own way.
Theres no one perfect way to attract a partner, even in the movies.
Theres a reason why there are so many different tropes.
Are you more of afriends-to-loversgirlie where you pine for your best friend?
Or anenemies-to-loversbabe who prefers to taunt the object of your affection before you pounce?
Figure out what makes you happy and comfortable and do thatbut bigger and better.
Let yourself be the main character.
This should be advice foreveryone.
Dont hold yourself back because you dont see yourself as deserving.
You deserve a grand love just as much as anyone else.
You arent on this earth to be set-dressing for someone elses story.
You are the main character.
You are the leading lady.
So start acting like it.
Never settle for fine.
So many rom coms start with the leading lady already in a relationship.
Often her boyfriend or girlfriend isnt some evil entity.
They just arent right for her.
