When trying to get a boyfriend but don't seem so aggressive or desperate?

Don't:
Rub the back of your head or neck. Even if you really do just have a cramp in your neck, these gestures make you look disinterested.
Rub or touch your nose. This suggests that you're not being completely honest, and it's gross.
Sit with your armed folded across your chest. You'll appear unfriendly and disengaged.
Cross your legs and idly shake one over the other. It's distracting and shows how uncomfortable you are.
Lean your body towards the door. You'll appear ready to make a mad dash for the door.
Slouch back in your seat. This will make you appear disinterested and unprepared.
Stare back blankly. This is a look people naturally adapt when they are trying to distance themselves.
Do:
Sit up straight, and lean slightly forward in your chair.
Show your enthusiasm by keeping an interested expression. Nod and make positive gestures in moderation to avoid looking like a bobblehead.
Establish a comfortable amount of personal space between you and your date. Invading personal space (anything more than 20 inches) could make your date feel uncomfortable and take the focus away from your conversation.
Stand up and smile even if you are talking to your date on the phone. Standing increases your level of alertness and allows you to become more engaged in the conversation.

Don'ts? Don't slouch, don't look down too much, things like that. A better question is what are the do's... do lean forward when talking to him, do smile often, do make eye contact, feel free to touch your hair (it's common knowledge it's an unconcious I-like-you move, if he's quick he might catch it without you having to come out and say it). That's best I can do...

Doesn't matter.
Some will say it is good, some will say it's bad.
It is just a matter of rolling the dice and hoping you don't come up with snake eyes.
Don't be suprised if it does come up with snake eyes.
Roll the dice over and over and your bound to come up with double sixes.
