Okay so i admit, i've never had a boyfriend. im 14 years old and going into 8th grade. ive been told by guys that im really pretty and have a great personality. im not overweight, im not unpopular or stuck up. what keeps me from being something guys like? i have guy friends, but whenever i like a guy, they never like me back as much. i dont think highly of myself when im around people. i actually tend to be more shy then anything around guys. but, what can i do? i know every guy is different but... ugh im so stumped!! please help, if you answer my question good ill give you a rewarding 5! =) thanks!
ps: im not just trying to get a boyfriend because of people around me having them, its whenever i find someone i like, they dont feel the same...

the_haha_boat answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 12:01 pm: Most guys dont have the guts to ask out girls tell their alittle bit older, so maybe they do like you their just not ready to ask you out. When school starts you should take the time to choose someone you really like and ask him out. Remember to choose carefully because if he says yes then this will be your first boyfriend and it should be someone that you really like.

*tasha* answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 3:34 am: Just be yourself..if theres someone you like that doesn't like you back and you've been being yourself then hes just not right for you.I'm in 8th grade too..And I've only had 3 bf's in my life. Just be patient. The right one will come up soon and maybe if your yourself and everything you'll find someone this year in 8th grade.Have a good year and good luck!!
OrangeLuverr answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 1:56 am: I'm almost 15 and gonna be a sophmore and i still never had a bf, but i guess everyones time will come, i guess if you look around ... people our age dont realy have SERIOUS relationships, so most of them dont have any real feelings toward their gf's or bf's. All i can say is keep being urself and a nice guy will show up. Goodluck. =) <3333 [ OrangeLuverr's advice column | Ask OrangeLuverr A Question ]

Feel good about yourself, and stay friends with your guy-friends. Unfortunately, you can't make anyone like you - but this doesn't mean no one will. Not to mention, that there may very well be guys that like you and you don't even know it!
Are the guys that you usually have feelings for your friends? I recall my 7th-8th grade years being full of guys who were my buddies, but once they were close enough to me to be friends, they wouldn't cross that line.
You can't do anythign about that, but things may change. Just wait it out, you don't really need a boyfriend right now anyway. Perhaps you'll get in touch with someone you like, perhaps you won't. You have plenty of time for that, so just keep feeling good about yourself. [ Ronlina's advice column | Ask Ronlina A Question ]
