hi my name is jake, i'm 16 sophmore in high school. over the years i watch my friends go through relationships and stuff, n i never had one. n its not bc i'm antisocial or anything; i think i'm pretty popular, lots of friends and stuff. just thinks never seem to happen or get to the point of relationships; is this weird? should i try to put more an effort to startin a relationship? or should i just kinda be passive about it like i've been. i do want to find someone, to have fun with.

sizzlinmandolin answered Wednesday October 12 2005, 5:11 pm: WOW! That sounds exactly like me! I didn't have a high school relationship and I got my first bf at age 18. He's amazing and I am so happy with my life right now. What you should do is nothing! Don't try to change yourself at all. Opportunities will come, especially in college. Hopefully you won't have to wait that long, but even if it ends up that way it's so worth the wait. High school relationships almost always go down in flames. Don't force yourself into having a relationship. It'll always be a lot of heartache if you do. My advice is to just hang out, stop worrying, and try to enjoy life for now. Your time will come, don't worry. Good luck! [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]
ShellyRae answered Wednesday October 12 2005, 2:41 pm: you dont have to go out with someone to have fun with them. do what you feel comfortable with. its better to act yourself so dont push yourself so much into being a person that your not. Hoped i helped.
MrsStevenMarkJones answered Wednesday October 12 2005, 1:15 pm: let her come to you man. here is my advice, if you try to push yourself into a relationship then it will only end if pain and chaos. TRUST ME! When i am looking for a guy i always tend to pick up one who the relationship goes really sour with. but when i am not looking i tend to run into the best people in places i would not suspect. so chill, relationships will come to you eventually. i spent most of my high school career single, so it is not that unusual!
gUeSsHoO278 answered Wednesday October 12 2005, 12:49 pm: no dont try to get a gf just to have a gf because then it def wont work out. when you find a girl you like, go for it and ask her out. thats the only right way to be in a relationship.

craazylau answered Wednesday October 12 2005, 9:57 am: No you're not weird- of course you're not!! To put effort into starting a relationship you've obviously gotta find someone who you want to have a relationship with. And it didn't sound like you have anyone in mind at the moment ;) so just be passive about it! It's really easy to say but so true: it only ever happens when you're not expecting it! Anyway you don't want to look desperate because thats the biggest turn off ever! So relax and i promise it'll happen! [ craazylau's advice column | Ask craazylau A Question ]
BeastFromTheWeast answered Wednesday October 12 2005, 3:30 am: I didnt have a boyfriend until i was nearly 17..so i dont really think that being 16 and not having had a relationship yet is a big deal.
I would just be more forward with girls you like..otherwise no one will know that you want a relationship with them. [ BeastFromTheWeast's advice column | Ask BeastFromTheWeast A Question ]
naimee answered Wednesday October 12 2005, 12:04 am: Lol, you're definitely not weird. It's not weird that you haven't had a relationship either. A lot of my guy friends are the same as you. & most of my girl friends. You definitely need to put more effort into trying to find a girlfriend though, because if you keep doing what you're doing, then you're going to have to wait until a girl comes to you. Which might be really difficult in the long run, because if you're not open with girls then they won't know what to say or how to act around you! But, maybe being passive like you are now might help. You might meet a girl whose in a similiar situation. It's not going to be easy especially finding your first girlfriend, so don't rush into anything! besides, I think it's cute that you haven't had a girlfriend yet, and some girls would too! =P goodluckk.
