I think it's important for people to know they can rely on each other for help and support. I want to be that person for you.

I'm 14-years-old so I'm not looking for my life partner or anything. Well, my friends and even some people I don't know call me shallow because I only go out with guys I think are hott. And it's true but only to a certain point. Yes, I do look at looks first but doesn't everyone? I look at looks and if I think they're attractive then I'll talk to them and such. But I'll only date them if they have a great personality to go along with their looks. Personality can also make a guy hott to me so even if I'd initially think they were ugly but they had a confident, amazing personality I'd think they were hott. And like I said before, it's not like I'm looking for they guy I want to marry right now; I'm just having fun and meeting different guys. Does the way I see that make me shallow? Or is the way I pick the guys I want to go out with wrong?
Dear Shallow,
NO WAY! There is nothing wrong with only wanting to be with someone you find attractive. And your young so why not surf the waters a bit. Even though I think it's fine for you to date only people you find attractive I also do think it IS wrong for you to turn someone away simply based on looks.
You cant always look as beautiful as you are inside. Keep this in mind. Also understand that beauty can build with time. You may find a person not as beautiful when you first meet him/her but if you care about them.. all of a sudden they become the most beautiful person you've ever met. If you turn away people you dont find attractive at first glance you may very well be turning away your prince charming.
Best of Luck,
