Question Posted Sunday August 15 2004, 7:37 pm

Hi Derfel. I am a 16 year old girl. I need your help with something, being as though you're a guy. I go to a girls school, so it's hard to meet guys. Don't have my licence, so it's hard to get anywhere. I am very pretty, a little overweight, and really want a boyfriend. It seems if I'm out in public, boys want nothing to do with me and I don't understand why. I am a little shy, but I would think a guy could come right up to a girl. How can I get a guy to talk to me, and why don't they ever talk to me? Thanks.

Hi darling,
The first thing I'll say to you is don't panic that theirs something wrong with you because that's not true. If you say your a little shy that's more than likely the problem. It doesn't always follow that someone who likes you will come up and start chatting, especially since you don't often get the chance to mix with boys. You make the first move. I know that may sound terrifying and it probably will be for you but if you just take a deep breath and force your self to do it, it'll get easier and easier each time as your confidence grows. A technique to help with the confidence (apparently this does work - according to my ante, she's a physiologist): its very simple, just tell your self your confidant, every day - look in the mirror or when you get up or before a difficult situation just tell your self your a really confidant person and imagine your self being like that. Eventually you'll come to believe it and that's when you'll act it.
