Summarize this article in one sentence.
First things first: decide who you'd like to have a relationship with and write it down. Use this list to narrow down your search and concentrate your focus on boys that you think you'll get along with.  Come up with a list of potential guys you know that are single and that you find interesting. Think of all the pros and cons for each guy: for example, one might be especially cute, but maybe you don't have all that much in common with him. Don't just go for looks, but think about who you'll actually get along with and will want as a boyfriend.  Don't be afraid to include boys you're already friends with but would be interested in as a boyfriend. He might feel the same about you, but you might never find out if you don't get the ball rolling in that direction.  If you want to go for someone new that you don't know yet, think about what personality, physicality, and intellectual type of guy you're interested in. This way you'll know what you're looking for when you meet new guys and know if they're potential boyfriend material for you. Hang out at places where the type of guys you like tend to frequent -- whether it's a coffee shop, library, gym, or the beach.  Be sure to appear open and approachable, don't have your nose buried too deeply in a book at the coffee shop, for example, or be distracted by hanging out with friends. Go to places alone, dressed to impress, and try to catch someone's eye with a look and smile. Many internet dating sites give new members a free 7-day trial, so you can comb through their pool for potential boyfriends.  Sign up for at least 3 sites so that you will have the widest selection of guys. Find 5 guys you might be interested in and that meet your age, location, personality, or other requirements and send them an email. Starting with 5 increases your chances of hitting it off with 1 of them and striking up a romance by the end of your 7 day trial. Another sure fired way to meet potential guys in a short amount of time is to attend a “singles” themed weekend activity or meetup group. Not only will there be lots of eligible, interested bachelors, but you'll already have a hobby in common. Speed dating is becoming an increasingly popular way to strike up a romance and find a boyfriend fast.  Search the web for any speed dating nights in your area and signup. You'll go on several 30-60 second "dates" with a dozen or so guys in that one night. You might just find someone you'd like to see more of after just one night of trying to find someone!

Summary:
Think about who you want. Get out there and start looking. Search through internet dating sites (if you're over 18). Go on a "singles" meetup. Drum up potentials through speed dating (if over 18).
