TheTeenGirl answered Sunday January 23 2005, 8:33 am: If you're a young teen (13,14,15...) most guys your age don't look for those qualities unfortunatly. They are about the looks, the personality, if you're popular, if you're bad, naughty and sexy, stuff like that. And actually this story reminds me of myself, my best friend wasn't prettier than me (thats what everyone else says) and I was just so confused with why she was getting all the guys, and people always told me it was because shes loud, and she makes sure shes heard, so if you got a little more social (if you already aren't) then you'd get more attention probably, but don't overdo it by being rude and trying to impress people, just be yourself, it does you so much good.
AnGeLtHuGsTa answered Saturday January 22 2005, 4:19 pm: First of all, you shouldn't have low self-esteem because you don't have a boyfriend. I'm sure there are a lot of guys interested in you, but are intimidated by you. Maybe their too scared to come up to you. You said your outgoing, funny and pretty! Why should you have low sef-esteem? Walk around confident because guys don't like girls that aren't. Maybe you should make the first move, or you can wait. Good things do happen to people that are patient. Eventually that right guy will come (they will sooner or later)...So don't put yourself down. There isn't anything wrong with you. *goodluck* [ AnGeLtHuGsTa's advice column | Ask AnGeLtHuGsTa A Question ]
steriotypicalblonde292 answered Saturday January 22 2005, 11:50 am: ok, i used to be the same way too. it seems like guys dont know anything about qualities, they absolutely do! its just guys tend grow mature a lot slower than girls...and in that case guys are either afraid, confused, or just not comfortable yet to say or like what they see. its kinda of a complicated situation to help explain but if a guy does like you, let them like you...i know that theres a bunch of wacks out there that you will meet but not all of them...what im trying to say is that when a guy likes you, theres a good high percent that he really does like you. just try to make them feel comfortable around you and let them get used to you being around them and they will start most likely asking you out if given time and effort. i hope tis helps [ steriotypicalblonde292's advice column | Ask steriotypicalblonde292 A Question ]
Courckypooh answered Saturday January 22 2005, 10:40 am: I have that problem too. All of my friends say that about me too, but guys are intimidated because I'm what the cool kids call "a genius". If they're not smart enough to notice that you're the best girl for them, then they're not worth it at all. What's worse? Being single, or having a bf that doesn't care about you as much as you like?
