The problem here is that it's hard to answer your question because it is so general. It all depends on what sort of environment you want to belong to. If it's a new job, then you would have to look professional, dress formal but not too extremely. If it's a new circle of friends, then it depends on what kind of friends they are.
Generally speaking, if you want others to approach you then you should "give a signal" to them that you want to be approached. This can be a special way of dressing, a certain way of talking or behaving, really anything that shows there might be a common bond between you and the others.
But don't give yourself up completely. Nobody is as boring as the person who is totally adapted to other views and opinions.
Always keep up your peresonality and humour.

It's all to do with body language. Try not to look as though you feel uneasy or defensive. Look people openly in the face with a ready smile and perhaps even initiate conversation but remember to always listen carefully to what the other person is saying and take an interest in them.
Big no-nos are: Crossing your arms, scowling or frowning, looking at the floor or staring straight ahead and talking exclusively about yourself.

Just go with it be yourself, eventually a guy pops up :-) they always do. Plus you're 17, I know it seems like a huge deal now... but in a year or two you'll be in college, and there's a lot more variety there, trust me. ;-)

Smile, walk relaxed, have a relaxed hairstyle, if you have makeup on it should not be severe. Clothing that is not severe helps too. The tone of you voice, how you hold yourself all add to this too. Avoid being judgemental.

I usually carry around a large Bowie and a full can of gasoline when I do not wish to be approached so I would believe a reversal of those tactic's would more attractive.

A big part of it is just body language. Don't cross your legs or arms in front of you, don't put you hands in your pockets. Sit up straight, look people in the eyes and smile.

Beauty comes from within, but sometimes it has to be more than that. Be confident in who u are, but not to confident. Smile and be friendly, ask people questions, they love talking about themselves, give them compliments (even if u dont mean them). Lol anywayz its always hard at first but then it will become easier:)
