It takes all the help you can get to snag one of the most desirable men in Hollywood. Gossip Girl Blake Lively had to pull out all stops to get Leonardo DiCaprio's attention...

Blake Lively is said to have followed the advice of best-selling dating manual, The Rules, by Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider in 1995, to win over Leonardo DiCaprio.

Following the rules of attraction, the 23-year-old American actress worked very hard to win the Titanic star, by not calling him, making him jealous and acting “busy”.

“Blake loves dating book The Rules and has been following it to the letter,” the Daily Mail quoted a friend of Lively as telling Now magazine.

“She knew Leo could have any girl he wanted and she figured she had to stand out from the crowd,” the friend added.

The Gossip Girl star even made sure that DiCaprio, 36, broke up with his supermodel girlfriend Bar Refaeli first before dating her.

“Blake told him he had to break up with Bar before she’d even go on a date with him, so he did. She’s making him work for it - and he’s fallen hard for her,” the source added.
