How to create a male character that makes you love him?

I'm currently writing a story, and my main character (a girl) will eventually fall in love with another character (a guy). How can I make him so he seems irresistable? Not in a corny or unreal way, but just like a charmer or something. Any advice? Thanks!!!How to create a male character that makes you love him?
hott is always the simple answer. sarcastic and equipped with a nimble tongue is always essential in a charmer. he has to be smooth talking, eloquent. give him little foibles that make him unique and interesting. cute habits + leather jackets always always = love. :P think of people you know or boys you love in books. what makes them speacial? tortured is always sexy. depending on what you are going for choose between athletic and artistic. give him an excellent sense of humour and your guy is a definate winner. hope i helped :)How to create a male character that makes you love him?
Try creating a guy that u would fall for if he was real
I think that characters should be based on real life Inspiration, and you also need to develop his personality.
Make him really pale, give him golden eyes, and a really lame, mysterious, conflicted personality. Works every time.Oh, and make sure he drinks blood. Just to make it interesting.
just write about the type of guy you want. You don't know what type of guy you'd want?
The first ';woman'; I fell in love with, as a 14 year old, was Mattie Silver from ';Ethan Frome';, Wharton. I understand that you're going the other way, but that Novella will take you three or four hours to read and teach you everything you need to know about how to create an irresistible character.
if you read more romance novels, you'll be able to create a character easier and know how you want him to be like. I do agree with the other girl, she has the right idea, what kind/type of guy would you fall for?

For example, i like mysterious guys (in books), in reality though sure thats not the best, but keeping wanting to know more about the person in excruciating!
Just make him someone you'd want to meet. Write him how you'd want him to be if you were the girl. Do you want him to be smooth? Then make him so. Do you want him to be funny? Then give him funny lines. Do you want him to be mysterious? Then make him gradually open up as the story proceeds. If you fall in love with the character (and write him well), then someone else who reads your story will fall in love with him too.



Read up on some other great guys in literature for ideas, such as Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. I vote classic literature; it's classic for a reason. If you're not crazy about reading it yourself, look up sparknotes to see how the story and character progresses :)
For me, he should be real. GIVE HIM FAULTS!! he could be sarcastic and have a sense of humor. i like characters who kind of hide behind their anger or sarcasm but then at some point the main character sees past that and you really get to know him.
