i would suggest a scientific approach to achieve your goal because of the
rather unpredictable  nature of  what you are trying to achieve, a bit of
science (sorry ...just a result of watching too much of dexters
laboratory...) while definitely improve the odds in the long term....
 ---  try using a project oriented approach :

1) Case Study - do a case study of the goal -- has she dumped mr.X or mr.Y
for a,b,c reasons ... why did mr.X or mr.Y fail ..... once you have that
knowledge you can have a better understanding of your target

2) Expectation mapping - what are her expectations ? how can you fulfil (or
at least pretend to fulfil) those expectations ?

3)Impact Analysis - what kind of impact will this have on you ? (a thinner
wallet  maybe.., but towards achieving the target that shouldnt be a
hurdle) what kind of impact will this have on her  ? (maybe she is already
reeling from a previous failed encounter , so better be there to catch her
with the rose between your teeth)

4)Risk Analysis - this is really critical ... what if the project fails
midway ? what if there is a competitor (maybe an evil ex-boyfriend) who
suddenly pops up? how do you sink the competition ?

5)Timelines & Milestones - chart out milestones of what you like to achieve
in 'x' timeframe .. (something very basic like ms project will do ...)

6) Defining scope - define a clear scope for the project - is it a long
term goal ... or just a short term one .  by defining the magnitude of the
scope , you will have a clear idea of the investment (both mental and
monetary) required...

7)Brand building & marketing - try marketing yourself as a brand (that
wouldnt neccessarily mean dressing up like a coca cola bottle) , build up
some market hype ... ,  try a new look etc...
