I am sure you are pretty and you can get a boyfriend just speak up and maybe introduce yourself to some people. ok I hope I helped BYE [ gtr4lyfe's advice column | Ask gtr4lyfe A Question ]

I don't know how old you are, but most of the girls on here seem to be about the same age. Because of that, please don't stress over getting a boyfriend. There are more important things in life than that. I feel like I need to scream this at young girls across the country. Concentrate on school and on having fun with your friends while you can. WHen you're younger you think that you HAVE to have a boyfriend, but really you don't. If you meet a guy by chance that's great. But until after college, your life is going to be changing more than you could ever imagine, and you're going to be changing. All boyfriends do is cause extra stress. I dated a little in middle school, well even elementary school I had my first bf...and then in high school I realized I had my priorities and a boyfriend wasn't one of them. I had my little flings here and there but never anything stressfull. If he got too attached, or if even I got attached, I ended it, for both of our sakes. I continued that through most of college and only now (at 22 yrs old) am I really considering having a boyfriend (I've had a few, but I've always ended it, one lasted 9 mos, that was the longest. I get bored easily). I've always been really quiet too, until you get to know me. I would advise trying to be a little more out going and happy. If you're always concerned about finding a boyfriend you will NEVER find one. Focus on other things in your life. Have self confidence, but not too much. Smile and be nice to people, even if you don't like them. High/Middle School politics suck, but that's life. I was quite a bitch in high school and that kept most of the guys away, well most people at that. If you build up a reputation for being nice and friendly by just talking to people, then your situation should drastically improve. In class smile at people and have confidence. I know how it is and being depressed and worried about it, will only make it worse. Try to always be optimistic and happy, regardless of whether or not anything is bothering you. Bottom line...don't Stress over it and don't be hard on yourself. Its not a matter of life and death. You're young and I'm sure you have a lot of other things that are far more important in your life going on. :) Things have a way of ALWAYS working themselves out. Take it from someone who knows from a lot of experience. Hope I was of some hep. Take care. [ Lachiquitaloca9's advice column | Ask Lachiquitaloca9 A Question ]
