DistilledAnachronism answered Sunday May 29 2005, 9:06 pm: Well, I just recently attained my first boyfriend, and I know exactly how you feel. The answer is, just get out and meet people. Go to local bands' shows or to hangout spots. Get a MySpace or LiveJournal and meet your friends' friends that way. Trust me, you'll meet a lot of guys that way and you're bound to find one that you get along with really well. It happened to me and I'm really happy.
About the confidence part, I have the same thing. I thought getting a boyfriend would help me feel complete and shit, but it didn't. I love him very much and all but the truth of the matter is that it's something inside of you that only you can change. When I figure it out for myself I'll let you know how to do it..:/ [ DistilledAnachronism's advice column | Ask DistilledAnachronism A Question ]
xo_underneath answered Sunday May 29 2005, 8:45 pm: I know how you feel. I'm almost 16 and have never had a boyfriend. Heck, I know someone who's 18 and never had a boyfriend lol. I put myself down alot saying I'm never gonna have a boyfriend ever & yeah that's how you'll feel, but I tell myself I will eventually even if I don't feel like I will. It might not happen in the near future but you have plenty of time, lol. [ xo_underneath's advice column | Ask xo_underneath A Question ]
ApplePies answered Sunday May 29 2005, 8:42 pm: Hey, im in 8th grade too. Ive gone out with some people but ive been in your position before also. Lots of my friends and people in general in my school havent gone out with someone before. To make you feel better think of it lyk this.. your in 8th grade and how many guys with potential are there realy in your school? well in my school the answers slim ta none. Next year youll be in high school along with probly 3 or 4 other 8th grade classes so youll have many more choices and opertunities.. If someone askes who youve gone out with,who do you go out with , ect. juss say no one theres hardly any guys in this school n e way.. nd that next year there will be 5 times as much as there is now..and if you realy want to meet someone start talkin to guys.. all the guys ive gone out with i was pretty good friends with before we started to have feelings for eachother ..live the single life for now youve got the whole summer to perpare for a guy..or two !! hope i helped girly !!

xOxGlamerous4 answered Sunday May 29 2005, 8:39 pm: its ok that you dont have a b/f yet thats good that your not going to just get any guy just to have a b/f. and what u should do about it when people ask you do u have a b/f just be like no im waiting for the rite guy instead of some loser(( you dont have to say it in the exact words)).and they want care people dont really care about that stuff and if people do that means that they have no life what so ever
and if you do like some one and you want to be b/f and g/f just talk to him and get to know him dont be negative if you think thats its going to happend you either make it happend or wait for it happend
XoUkrainianBabeXo answered Sunday May 29 2005, 8:37 pm: Well some of my friends are 14 going on 15 and have never had a boyfriend. The feeling sucks and all but it will come with time. You don’t want to go out with someone just so you can say you have had a b/f. You should like him and such. If that isn’t the case at the moment then don’t rush into it. Since it will be your first b/f you will remember him for ever really, and you don’t want to remember some asshole. You are most likely mature for your age or guys just don’t measure up to your standards. This is fine because you don’t want a loser. So over all it’s not a big deal, if someone asks if you had a boyfriend you can just say no, if they ask why tell them it just wasn’t right. Hope things work out!

icey0990 answered Sunday May 29 2005, 8:37 pm: To feel better about yourself, live up the single life!
-go to teen dance parties
-go to the movies with friends and start flirting with cute guys..who cares if it doesnt work out..not like they are from your school
-go to the mall with friends..tons of guys there
hangin with friends definately gets your mind off being upset that you dont have a bf..and who knows..whilee your at the mall or wherever you might meet some really great guys! it happens when you least expect it,...so keep positive and just have a blast with friends
you'll get a bf...i felt the same way as you..then out of nowhere i got asked out (and i thought i never would)
yeah i'll admit its been a long time since then..but im staying positive, livin it up with my friends..and someday i'll run into the perfect guy all over again.........
cheyenne answered Sunday May 29 2005, 8:36 pm: hey girl dont worry about boys. right now you just need to hang out with your friends and enjoy life and if you got a boy at ur age yuo would just get your heart torn in 2.
Sporkster answered Sunday May 29 2005, 8:34 pm: Don't worry about it, really, it IS no big deal. There's nothing wrong with never having had a boyfriend at age 13. You probably feel awkward around your friends because they've all had a boyfriend, but just shrug it off. If they ask you if you've had one, just answer 'no'. I mean, sure it'd be nice to have a boyfriend or whatever, but at that age it doesn't matter (most of the time). Knowing how guys are, you probably have never had one because they're all too intimidated by you to ask you out. Just be confident in yourself and guys will eventually stop being so timid. ;)
I hope my advice helps you, and good luck with the guys. Feel free to ask me any additional questions you have.
mxpimpette26 answered Sunday May 29 2005, 8:33 pm: dude!! it's a good thing! you shouldn't care about haveing a boyfriend or not~love life and have fun w/ your friends! plus all the boys are going to do it break your heart! i wish i had never had a boyfriend! that's why i'm single now! and proud of it..and i don't plan on having a boy for a long time or untill i know FOR SURE that i can spend time w/ him!
