How to attract a man's attention

It was only a matter of time before I started writing Annabelle's book. I have been craving the writing of this one ever since I daydreamed and schemed up her story ages ago and I'm delighted to get started. But before I dive in, I need help….

Confession: Her hero is Mr. Derek Knightly. To readers of the series, this will come as no surprise. Annabelle has been sighing over him ever since A Groom Of One's Own. And in two (possibly 3) books, he takes no notice of her. Men can be so daft at times.

So, how can Annabelle attract his attention? I know we'll start by lowering the bodice on her dresses just a bit more. But then what? I have some ideas, but this is important–true love is on the line–so I'm opening this one up for suggestions.

Any crazy, kooky advice you've heard to snag a man's attention? What should Annabelle do?!
