I've never had a real boyfriend nor have I had my first kiss yet. I'm a really attractive, smart girl, and I'm not weird. I just haven't been given the opportunity. I've tried twice to create opportunities for myself to get a boyfriend, but it never worked out. It is not my first priority, so I never really TRIED to get a boyfriend.

However, I was recently talking to someone, and she explained that I cannot be afraid of getting hurt. It's better to get hurt sooner rather than later, and it's really changed my point of view. I know and criticize girls for acting stupidly and thinking that a guy likes her when he doesn't, but they're just blinded. I thought that I could learn from their mistakes, but the truth is, I can only learn by experience. I can't watch someone drive and criticize them when they crash because at least they are even driving the car. They'll learn from the crash, but I never will unless I drive. It's just so easy to see a situation and say, "Wow, that girl is an IDIOT," but one day, that girl will be me.

I do not REALLY like anyone right now, but I'm just concerned that I won't get enough relationship experience in my high school career. I don't want to get hurt, but I know it's unavoidable. Does anyone have any advice for me? I just don't feel like I should be wasting time on stupid horny guys who don't actually care about me now. It seems that MOST (not ALL) guys are that way at my high school. (link)
Well,some guys can be really sweet and charming like a gentleman and it'll take some time for you to really get a man like that. But, are you outgoing enough? You need to put yourself out there and find a guy that's right for you. It's okay to flirt a little and have some fun. but don't over do it. You'll find the right guy too when it's time. Like a saying I know. "Good things will happen to those who wait"
