Hey guys, I've been single for a really long time now and I really want a boyfriend. I'm 14/f, and I feel like I'll never get a boyfriend again. I still feel really bad from my last relationship. I have no guys to talk to or anything. When I go places, I hate seeing people with their boyfriend or girlfriend and having a good time, or even Valentines Day and Sweetest Day. How do i meet guys? I used to always go to the mall and the movies, and I liked people there but I'm really shy. It's hard to just go up to people and say something. How can I get some guy friends atleast, so I have someone to talk to? Thank you so much to anyone who answers! I'm so sorry this was long.

Easier to talk to someone about an assignment or class project!
If you're having trouble with an assignment (or even if not really), ask the cute guy in your class for help!
Talk about music, anything. I can't in good judgement recommend meeting people in the mall.There are lots of weirdos in malls.I know there are in schools too but, at least you know a little about the weirdos maybe! [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

The best thing I find to do is go to the mall with my best friend and bring my boyfriend and hers. This makes it sooo much easier for me. Or, you could have your friend bring her boyfriend and another guy, and maybe if your lucky you two will get along great and end up liking each other. Talk to guys at school. Get your friends to help you know what to say. It may sound confusing or like it won't help, but hey, that's what friends are for, and they will help you find a guy if you really want to.

One thing age teaches you is that a year when you are 14 seems like eternity. When you 34, it seems like a small bump in history.
Although I applaud your seeking advice on how to make some male friends, try and do so to make friends, not to "find a boyfriend". You don't need that kind of pressure and it usually means you end up making bad choices out of desperation.
As for making male friends, if there aren't any your age as enighbours that you already know or at school, try joining a club that has mixed participation. Try tennis or squash or whatever. I'm not sure what your interests are. Also, try remembering that most 14 year old boys are just as shy and looking for someone too. So even if you don't want to make the first move to talk to someone, at least try and make it easy for them to approach you. Be friendly. [ Altazuma's advice column | Ask Altazuma A Question ]
