I go to an all girls high school. I am 14, and the biggest tomboy EVER!! Thing is, i really want a bf. I have friends who r guys, but they cood never be a boyfriend. I cant just go up to a guy i see at the movies or mall, like thats just not who i am. Im not sure guys wood ever think of me as more than someone they cood talk sports with. Other than me not having a bf, im happy with being a tomboy, and not wearing makeup, and wearing football jerseys. I dont wanna change myself. What shood i do? pleees help!!

Just show them that you're more than a tomboy, and im not talking on the outside you dont have to go all out and get all girly for them but show them how you have a great personality and that your more than just a tomboy they'll take you more serious and respect you more. Just be yourself, and be open about how you could possibly have a bf and like guys. They'll realize it, it may take them a while b/c they are boys but still eventually they'll see.

You could try making an effort to be an "attractive tom-girl" if you wanted to find those kinds of guys. Kind of contrast from day to day, or on special occasions to show them you're still a girl, but keep up your evil tomboy ways ^.-
Maybe you could get your friends to introduce you to guys they know, or try to make male friends at social events or parties.
If you find guys who want to talk sports with you, then the chances are that they like you. If you're really involved in the sport, and they like to talk to you, then they would probably want to know you outside of it. Just watch out for the jerk-jocks.
My most coherent advice; just don't lose confidence. You are who you are, and you don't want to change, so find someone who likes it.
