Q: Okay,first off i haven't had a boyfriend in 2 years,(15/f.blah.whatever)and it only lasted a month. I know people always say "love yourself before you can love someone else"- i do, and i have great friends and i'm really happy.I know i dont need a guy to be happy- Its just I reaaaally want to be in love! Its not helping that all of the sudden theres like romance everywhere,but me, all aloonnne!its like taunting me haha.I keep envisioning meeting "the guy of my dreams" at like the movies or the mall-because i heard if you do this you can attract it to happen-but none of it works!I can't be set up with people,no no no. I'm not ugly,i have a great personality. Its just the fact that its impossible for me to ever meet a guy anywhere! So i guess what i'm asking is- How can i meet guys at like the mall or something like that? And have you ever had a -love-at-first-sight thing happen to you? If you have,what happend? Thanks so much for the imput and advice!
You're absolutely right.
You DON'T need a guy to be happy.
Just because all your friends have boyfriends, doesn't mean you have to have one. Boyfriends can be great but you can't hunt for them.
Especially if you're looking for "the one".
They'll come to you, as cliche as that might sound.
It might be a little difficult to live without a boyfriend and you're INLOVE with the idea of being inlove.
But you're 15 years old!
I'm 17 and I just barely found someone I'm actually happy with.
I went the same amount of time without and boyfriend and all my friends would try and hook me up with their boyfriend's friends but I'd NEVER be interested.
I was in the same boat.
My current boyfriend was actually my bestfriend at one time and personally, that's the best kind of relationship to have. When you build a really strong friendship with a guy, you've seen sides of him that are the TRUE him and if it's fate, then it'll escalate to something more.
You may think "He's just my friend. I can't see him as anything more than that" and that may be true but try and be open-minded with the whole issue. Think about it.
You don't want to just go out with some random guy.
Go out with someone you KNOW. That's the best way to find love :)

Feel free to ask any further questions or update me on anything that goes on

Good luck
