Question Posted Friday March 11 2005, 3:10 pm

I’m 14/f and no one have ever asked me out on a date. I am not ugly in fact I recently learned that the boys from my old school which I left 1 ½ years ago thought I was the prettiest girl in the class. I am extremely shy and I really can’t flirt. Also usually even if I like someone I am very cold to them for a long time, it’s like a protective action. But now I just feel so lonely!

I do have friends but not guy friends. I really want some tips on how to loosen up..

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?

Honey, this is a usual occurence in lives of teenage girls. Being only 14, you have plenty of time to date. For the lonliness problem I suggest that you make some friends first. Friends are good confidence boosters. Not just female friends, of course. Make friends with just some guys that you think you could get along with. They don't have to be anyone that you have a crush on. Once you've gotten a bit more comfortable around guys you might come out of your shell. When I was in 6th grade I would have these very very small "Hi how are you I'm fine see ya" conversations with guys and that was that. Then, I made friends with guys in orchestra class and slowly felt more confident in talking to guys. Everything will set its course in due time.

Maybe it's because they like you so much and they dont want to tell you because they think that they will just get turned down because they think that you are too good for them. I would say that *you* should make the first move. It would probably make it a lot better.

Hope I helped a little

I used to be just like that.I was always so shy, and was taught (wrong) that you shouldnt talk to boys they'll think you're easy which isn't true!just start talking to a boy you feel most comfortable talking to, like the boy sitting next to you in math class.And then maybe you can gather the courage to talk to a boy you like!And think positive about yourself, if you think of yourself as beautiful, you'll have the confidence and ability to do anything:-)

You don't need a boyfriend. I have had 2 boyfriends in my life and one was in high school, 17. Each relationship has lasted a long time I boam still with my boyfriend of 4 and 1/2 years. When you meet someone you like and you want to date them tell them. You are not in elementary school anymore so just tell him, Hey I Like You!

Just make sure you don't let people intimidate you, if that's why youre being shy. be outgoing and laugh, people will want to be around you! :)

Hey, I know this is probably what everyone else is telling you, but just loosen up a bit. Don't do the whole, "become-super-outgoing-thing" because obviously, it's not you. I'm 15, and I've had 3 boyfriends, but no serious ones. No one has ever asked me out on a date though. All my relationships were like, hey you wanna go out? & i was like sure, and nothing was different from when we were just friends. My 1st b/f was when i was 14, so it's perfectly normal, a bunch of my friends still haven't had a b/f. I mean, i know a 19 yr old who's never had a b/f. Just kinda loosen up a bit, and what's more important, just be yourself! I didn't change to get any of my b/f's, because if they didn't like me the way i was, then why bother with them? I'm typically pretty stand-offish myself, it's something you kinda "grow-out of" . Of course, don't start trusting everybody, my friends told me to do that, and, not knowing any better, i did. Yeah let me tell you about it, staying cautious is a smart thing to do. Some people you just can't trust. :) Hope I helped somehow! :)

Well, I don't think you should go boyfriend searching right now, you should enjoy your life as a teenage girl and do teenage girl things with some girlfriends, or make some. You should get some friends for lonliness problems.

Learn to open yourself up! Start by gaining more confidence. So many guys I know said that a girl is pretty much worthless if there's not confidence behind those looks. Confidence it key to ANYTHING in life! You don't see some shy girl getting anything done in life, huh..?


♥ Always,
Maria

Let down that barrier and be yourself around guys you like. That's what they go for and talk to them so you begin to feel comfortable.
