να τραβήξεις την προσοχή
Explanation:
This expression means to draw attention in an ostentatious manner. Used more colloquially it might also include sexual overtones (i.e. να δείξεις τα κάλλη σου), but in this context a gentler approach, like the one suggested above, might be more suitable. Hope this helps!
