take some glamour pics of yourself and post them on your facebook(like pix of you in a mini skirt, heels, tight/revealing/provocative attire). That is defnitely the BEST way to get guys attention-and thats coming from a guy himself

Attention, probably, but will it give the impression wob182 wants to give? My own reaction would be "Party girl. Not for me."
wob182, this guy is a friend of a friend, right? You already asked your friend whether the guy is single, so your friend may know you have some interest. Simplest thing then would be to ask your friend what the guy is like. If what you hear is good, tell your friend you would like to meet the guy. I suggest you ask your friend
not to tell the guy you want a date. Say you don't want to raise expectations so that if it doesn't work, you don't disappoint him. That should be true, because you don't know yet what the guy is like. If your friend is closer to the guy than to you, he might say something anyway, and it probably is better if what he passes on is an indication of low-key interest. It will be easier to back out if that is what you want, and if he's shy you are less likely to make him nervous.
Excellent advice. I would react the same, "party girl, therefore I'm not interested." If you're not a party girl, it's a bad idea to disguise yourself as one to attract a guy.
I would add to the possiblities ToadOfSteel mentioned, he might for whatever reason think you're not interested or wouldn't be interested. There's also ordinary shyness to consider.
As DWill points out, you approaching him may in and of itself make him think more of you, as it shows confidence and thinking outside the box.
