Q: I'm 16 and I've never had a boyfriend.I don't think I'm that bad looking.I'm about 5'5 ,brown hair,kinda tan,hazel eyes,etc.you know,..average looking.For some reason,guys begin to talk to me and then after a few weeks ,they just either hate me or stop talking to me completely.It's happend with every guy i've ever talked to.One guy used me to hookup for three years,he now has a girlfriend and won't even accept my friend request on facebook,one guy told me he only sees me as a friend (after "talking talking" for like 3 monthes) the next guy told me i'm annoying with my friends and that im a slut (even though i didnt even kiss him),the next guy is a complete nerd and we kissed ONE time and then he hasn't talked to me since and we talked for a few weeks before that and he tries to get all my friends now?I don't know what to do.The most recent one was the nerd kid ,and I'm WAYYYY out of his league and i actually really liked him and i felt i could be myself around him and then he just stopped talking to me and tries talking to really pretty girls ,thinking he can hookup with them and not saying a word to me.I think he built a confidence wall after I kissed him the other night,since he hasnt kissed anyone since 8th grade! There's another guy who is talking to me,but I don't even know if I should give it a shot because im sick of just getting let down ! why is this happening to only me! all of my friends have boyfriends !
Let me tell you something - I was in your shoes when I was 16. Every single one of my friends had a boyfriend and I didn't. In fact I didn't have a serious boyfriend til I was 18. It sucked at the time. But, you're 16. You have plenty of time to get serious with a boyfriend. And the ones you mentioned in your question don't even sound worthy of you. Just enjoy being young - and when you least expect it love will find you. Believe me, that's when it happens - when you're not looking for it. Don't settle for anything less than the best for you. Because I assure you, most of your friends boyfriends are probably not that great in the first place. Don't seek a boyfriend just to have one - that's never the good road to take, because you'll end up with someone that isn't that great and then you'll still be unhappy. Good luck! :)

Q: So here's the thing, i really liked this kid,we'll call him, oh i don't know- Carl. The first time i saw Carl was this year, in my history class. He looked at me and i got that feeling he thought i was cute(you know that instant connection thing? yeah,well, we had it :P). It was funny because when he had to read aloud, he stumbled over his words XD. Anyways, i got to know him later on through a friend and we became sort of close. He's also in my Math class and moved next to me, then gave me his number.I texted him and he seemed really interested.. until (since i'm a weirdo XD)i started to be myself,pretty much :P.(Yet- he said i was fun to talk to?)I mean, i get the impression that the real reason he stopped talking to me isn't because of me though,he's going through a really tough time right now because his dad's really sick.So he pushed me away.
First of all never stop being yourself for a guy -the good ones will like you for who you are despite how "out there" you may be. :) Second, even with a silly flick - a guy who takes the time to do something as silly as that - likes you. If he didn't he would have stayed in the back of the line with the others. Guys are like from the age of 14 - 33 and on...It's called the kindergarten way : Annoy a girl to let her know you like her.

Next time he looks over at you - casually look over. Don't dart your head fast in his direction. Give him a little smile and take notice if he turns away fast - if he does...it's pretty clear that he has a little crush on you.

Hope this helps a little. :)
